New Taipei City Homestays

The owner was very nice and the house was very clean. It was raining that day and our shoes got soaked, so he even used a shoe dryer to dry them for us.

Room had smoking smell and 9th floor had a great view of the lake but the room could be cleaner. Maybe fresh paint won’t hurt and clean the moldy area in bathroom, change light bulb would be nice, missing one in bathroom, elevator was out of service so had to carry luggage to first floor. Our 5th fl room two days ago was so much newer and cleaner. Not sure what happened. Shame!

Not the easiest to locate. Check in is done such that you have to WhatsApp the owners/staff before they come by to meet you. There is no counter. However they respond promptly and quickly come to pick up your luggages and bring you to the room. They are very friendly too. Unit is two stories, beautiful view from the upstairs room. Can use downstairs area to store luggages and upstairs has limited space.

The stay was excellent! Absolutely loved it! It was very near the main jiu fen street (just about a 3min walk) and the staff members were all super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and neat. The common areas are so beautifully decorated and there's plenty of space. I love how they prioritised this and not just turn everything into bedrooms. Very thoughtful of them. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. You get porridge with a variety of dishes to go along with. They also have bread with butter/jam available. The stay is located on top a flight of stairs. Our group traveled as a family with 2 senior citizens and the flight of stairs were a little tiring for them. Do take note if you're taveling with those who are older or have difficulties walking. It isn't too bad, but can definitely be tricky for some. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely stay. This place is one of the prettiest out of the rest we scouted for jiu fen as well. It's a good pick and I would stay here again if I were to come back to jiu fen. Hope you find this helpful! Cheers!

The view from this guesthouse is unreal!! Spectacular!. Also, the staff were super friendly and spoke good English and also gave us help and messages on Line which was kind. There’s free tea, coffee, and snacks. The room was huge, super comfy, and with really nice original rock details (it’s built into the mountainside). I loved the location too, after all the shops and hustle bustle of old street. So you can walk through and do your souvenir shopping and then arrive to the calm here. There’s also a viewing platform around the corner and an amazing restaurant on the street above (Shukuo Qimy). Overall highly recommend!

The environment is very good and the room is beautiful, but the toilet is open and has no door. If you want to poop, the whole room will smell. If you are not a single person, everyone will have to endure the smell. The sound insulation is very poor. Although everyone is already treading lightly, there is the dining area at the door of the room. The sound of boiling water for washing hands early in the morning, the sound of taking cups, plates and forks, and the sound of opening the refrigerator... It is far away from Jiufen Old Street. It's far away. It takes 5 minutes to drive. It's not recommended to walk at night. It takes about 20 minutes to walk. It's mainly too remote and there aren't many cars passing by during the day. But the environment and rooms are really beautiful and it's very suitable for checking in.

A very comfortable stay. The shower head is very powerful and old hot instantly. Very near Jiufen Old street. Option 1: Go pass the Jiufen old street and then a flight of stairs, then turn right for 2 mins. Option 2: Go into the Jiufen old street and walk about 5 mins until you see a Big cafe at an intersection, turn left and go upwards for 1 min.

The location is a little hard to find, but it takes less than five minutes to get there from the MRT station. Overall, it's not too bad. Although the sound insulation needs to be improved, the cost-effectiveness is very high!

Location was good. Just a 5 min walk to the old street. There’s also a bus stop just outside where you can easily take bus (abt 10 mins) to Ruifang and back. From Ruifang, you can rent a U bike and cycle to Houtong or take train there or to Shifen. The house and rooms were big, probably because we rented the entire apartment. Had a big living room space. Only grouse is that the towels provided were too small… they were more like hand towels rather than bath towels.
