Starbox Hostel

This is the best located and cheapest hostel in all of Taipei, if you book monthly. Is it super clean, not really. Is it quiet, not when it fully books up on the weekends. Does the AC blow super cold, yes, but only if you are in a bunk near the vent, because the temperature was often set to 26C while I was there, so you sweat a little while you sleep. You will see little roaches occasionally in the bathroom and common area, but no mosquitos or bugs at all in the dorm areas. The good is the price, location, and the clean sheets and comforter. The capsule style bunks are sturdy and solid, not like the creaky, metal, ones you find in most places. It has free wifi with reliable, good speeds, hot water, and great AC if you can get management to lower the temp. Security is great with a private security guard that will have to let you up to the proper floor. If you booked online, like I did, you may have to communicate heavily with the staff to make sure you will be let in. Many people, every day, were locked out and couldn’t get in, because there was no staff to let them in when they arrived. You may get lucky and someone may open the door for you, or you may just be stuck in the hallway for hours. Overall, it was a perfect place for me. I had no issues at all. The staff was very nice and helpful to me. Thank you J and C. You know who you are.

Just across from Ningxia night market but little further from the nearest MRT stations(10-15mins walk) There is a ubike station right below it outside the Starbucks cutting it to 5mins. The hostel is a little cramp but cozy, there is no common space for a large crowd to mingle and little tables for takeouts. The bed is wide and had privacy curtains. Overall adequate for a hostel.

I went to this Hostel on the first night I reached Taiwan. The place was easy to find but I waited for around 20 mins at the door because no one was there One of the guests came out and finally I was able to get in. After around 5 mins, the boss came back and proceeded with my check in. Overall were good, the room quite clean but feeling a bit packed because of the narrow corridor. It was a very quiet environment although there were many guests at the moment. The bathroom and toilet were small, but still able to have a proper shower in it. The location was good, only 10 mins walk to the NingXia night market. Everything was fine if you are not so particular about the environment, if you are an experienced back packer, you are absolutely good here.

Nice atención, excelente location and the bed is good compare with the others and you can enjoy washer and dryer provided by this hostel at a good bargain.

As a first-time solo traveler in Taiwan, I highly recommend this place. Despite its affordable price, it resembles an upscale capsule hotel. The location is convenient, being close to the station and surrounded by many stores. The staff are very accommodating, especially when it comes to communication—they genuinely try to assist and meet your needs whenever possible. The facilities are impressive; they provide a cabinet for your bags and offer complimentary drinks to guests. Overall, a great stay! Will book and back again here, soon!

Great value. Clean, conform and big bund bed. Helping and polite staff made you feel like stay in big family. Night market, mrt station, bus stop. All can be reach by walk.

The hotel staff was consistently attentive and professional, providing prompt and efficient service offering complimentary cold drinks. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a low budget hostel to stay.

The price is reasonable and the location is convenient. The overall space and bed size match the price! It is close to convenience stores and night markets, and the gate has 24-hour security.
