This is my first time living in a hostel and I really love it! Comfortable bed, hot showers, clean room and common area with TV, computer, guitars. What else can anyone ask for? The hostel is very near Gu Ting MRT station, which is 2 station from Taipei main station. That itself is a plus! Just 10 mins away is... More

I stayed at Eight Elephants for 4 nights in July, 2011. It was easily the friendliest hostel I have ever stayed at, and I have stayed at a lot in both Japan and South Korea. The staff are amazing, the hostel itself is very clean and comfortable, and the location is very convenient. I made a lot of friends I... More

Very comfortable place to stay. It has warm showers, soft bed with comforting blankets! Feels like a 2nd home in Taipei. Whats more, you get to meet new travelers, and exchange experiences. You'l not feel alone if you are traveling solo. :)

The staff have put in a lot of heart in this place to make it cozy and very clean and comfortable. Just that the hostel peeps don't sleep till abt 3am so do bring earplugs if ure not into partying :) Also love the location, walk abt 600mm (?) to shida night mkt and 400m to Guting train stn.

I've been here a lot. "Lived" there all of October and most of February. Really feels like home. The living room is full of fun people either telling stories, playing guitar, or possibly recovering from the night before. Ha! All of the staff are incredibly helpful and sweet, and really cute. Location great for local foods, going out or just... More

If you are after a Very homely and warm place with relaxed helpful staff rather than a Hotel type atmosphere, I recommend EE. Also beautiful Sara (manager), is often organizing movie nights, day trips and nights... More

While I was only there for a week, I loved it and wish I could have stayed longer. The staff are very friendly, the facilities clean, and the cozy communal space is wonderful for just chilling out, meeting people and sharing stories. The location is good too, with many great and cheap places to eat nearby as well as being... More

Facilties were great and clean, has a very comfy common room, full kitchen, washing machine (no dryer), plenty of toilets/showers for the number of beds. Be aware... More

Great little hostel with helpful staff and very chillaxed vibe, and an endless supply of hot tea. The cozy living room is a great place to trade stories with other travelers (or watch cheezy chinese zombie movies as is happening as I write this). The location is great and close to the MRT, clubs, a night market and some of... More
