Hostels in Taiwan, China

The cleanliness was acceptable and consistent with the hotel’s facility rating. The location was excellent and suited our needs perfectly, as it is located right next to Taipei Main Station and can be reached in less than a 10-minute walk via the underground passage. Breakfast is served on the 6th floor, but there is no lift access, which may be inconvenient for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. However, it should not be a problem for younger guests. Overall, the hotel met our expectations and offered good value for its convenient location.

I often travel alone and usually stay in hostels abroad, but this is my first time staying in a backpacker dorm in Taiwan. The location is super convenient, right behind the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store (Station Front Branch). Whatever you want to eat or buy, you'll find it nearby—there are tons of restaurants, local eateries, convenience stores, and drugstores. They don't provide toiletries by default, but you can buy or rent them. All the common facilities are exceptionally clean and well-maintained! 👍

Great value for money! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff provided excellent service. The location made it easy to get around the city. Perfect choice for travelers looking for an affordable and pleasant stay.

This hotel's location is truly unbeatable!!!! I'm amazed again! It's so convenient to go anywhere, and if you want to travel around by high-speed rail like a 'special forces' tourist, you absolutely can! The high-speed train station is right across the street. Downstairs, there's the MRT and bus stops. The location is absolutely, perfectly, incredibly ideal. Also, the wet/dry separation in the bathroom is very well done. However, since we had a windowless room, it was a bit damp. And the hygiene was just okay. So, it's really a trade-off.

The hotel is ok but the room is big. The restaurant in the hotel is a must try. My daughter LOVEs every dishes she ordered. She said, this is the best food she had in Taiwan, so we had two dinners at the hotel. The location of the hotel is not great! We couldn’t get into the local buses to go to Xitou nor to Taichung because the buses were full from the original starting point. However, the hotel offers fare shuttle service to and from Xitou but not Shanlinxi. The front desk lady drove us to Xitou, she was GREAT and very accommodating, she took us to Xitou bus station outside of the normal schedule hours so we can catch the bus back to Taichung. We would come back again with our car to get to different areas in Xitou again.

I traveled alone, and the front desk staff were incredibly enthusiastic in guiding me through the check-in process. The room had an en-suite bathroom, and there were also communal bathrooms available. Sometimes, when water usage was high, the en-suite bathroom would run out of hot water, so it's a good idea to shower a bit earlier. During my stay, I accidentally locked my room card inside the locker, making it inaccessible. I quickly contacted the staff, who were very friendly and helped me open the locker so I could retrieve my room card. They didn't even charge me for the assistance. Overall, I think it's excellent value for money. For this price in Taipei, it's a really great hostel.

Room is comfortable even though building is old. There was one small window in the room but it looks out to inside the building. But that was ok since I was there for a concert was mostly out of the room. Did find some hair that was not mine one day after their supposedly cleaned the room. Staff was friendly and helpful though.

This time I brought my wife to Taichung for her birthday, and we stayed at the Norway Forest Cultural Center for the first night. We arrived early to drop off our luggage and immediately experienced the friendly and polite service, which made me feel happy and warm. Although there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in our room when we checked in that evening, the front desk manager came up and helped us switch to a larger and more comfortable room. Their service attitude was also super nice. It's no wonder this hotel has reviews above 9 – it's absolutely deserved. If I have the chance to come again, it will definitely be my first choice! 🥰

This is our second time staying in Stat Beauty Hotel for their Luxury Double Room. This time we stay for 4 nights and the location of the hotel is near the MTR station and the night market of Shillin Night Market. It will about 15 - 20 minutes from the hotel walk to the MTR station or take 20 - 26 minutes from the hotel walk to Shillin Night Market. The room we booked is big enough for us it two persons that stay and the room is nice but the hotel always provide one pillow for one person . If I sleep on the bed with only one pillow then I can see the rooftop and not the TV. I suggest to the hotel to provide two pillows for each person to stay  without our request, so that he can watch the TV easily. The bathroom is big and come with a big bathtub. The water pressure is now t very strong but just good enough for shower.  I would like to make a bit complaint to the old lady for the the housekeeping. She only come to change towels, refill toiletries  and thru rubbish only and never do cleaning and arrange the bedding. So on my third day O have towels request to the front seat to tell her to clean our toilet. Overall we are happy to stay in Star Beauty Hotel and would like to recommend this hotel to other travellers. I will stay again if I come to Taipei in the future.

The hotel is a bit difficult to find because the lobby is located at 5th floor but maybe that was my fault did’t read the instruction carefuly but other than that it’s good enough for me and my family who just transit for a bit, i didn’t know maybe it’s a bit to small for 3 person with a big luggage. But it’s clean and i have a nice rest there
