My favorite hostel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/13/07
This hostel isn't like any other hostel I've ever stayed. Some friends of mine who live in the south of Taiwan are patrons of it and highly recommended it to me.
Unlike most of the run-down hostels in Taipei, this one is only some months old and definitely stylish. Their funky decoration is another hit besides helpful staff
and friendly fellow travelers. MRT station is very close and the near-by nightmarket makes visiting convenient and makes living super cheap.
Just a reminder, it has a very laid-back atmosphere and staff are not always here. Sometimes you feel like staying at someone's home rather than a hotel.
If you are a loner who wants a lot of privacy or prefers everything to be well-organised as in a hotel, maybe it's not the place for you. I personally pick Eight Elephants as one of my favorite hostels in the world. Me and my travel mate both think it has very good value for its price and we definitely want to come back!!
