Mr. Lobster’s Secret Den design hostel

The hostel is located really close to the MRT station, which makes it a really good choice. I stayed in a private room and I was so pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the bed was. There is a nice view from the room and a really nice common area that feels welcoming and cosy. I found the soundproofing to be really good because I couldn't hear anyone while inside my room - something I have struggled with a lot in Taipei.

I work remotely so I choose accommodations on the basis of how comfortable they seem for me to sit around with my computer, how good I think the Internet connection will be, etc. I was surprised to find a place like this hostel, and for such as a price, as it almost feel like a free co-working space (comfortable, well lit, with views). In addition, it's located right in the city center (very close both to the train station and to a subway connection with Taoyuan airport), it's comfortable, it's good value for money, and the staff were all helpful and friendly. One of the best hostels I've been to in a long time, hands down. Very strongly recommended, especially if you are a person who needs to spend sometime working or doing anything with a computer (then it's just a no-brainer).

The staff is nice and careful, they gave me a lot of necessary information. The dorm is large and clean. The location is minute-away from Taipei Main station, so we can easily go to almost everywhere. Sharing area is large with full of needed equipment.

Great location, clean and comfortable rooms and a nice communal area. Also had a good kitchen and some free tea seemed to be provided. I got a private room and felt it was good value midweek, but on the weekends it shot up. Guess that’s normal for a big city. Staff were super friendly as well.

The location is just perfect. Close to Main station but also Beimen, 7-11 nearby, snacks downstairs. I loved the common area, it’s very spacious and has great views as youre on a 9th floor. Free earplugs, free water to refill. The room was really spacious, enough room to put my stuff around and to walk around, I really liked that the bathroom was inside the female dorm too so you don’t have to go through any outside hallway to and from the shower - big plus, makes things so much easier!
