York Hotel Reviews

Hostel was in a good location minutes walk away from Taipei Main, but the location was the only good thing about this hostel. With a name like York Design Hotel, you think you'd be expecting a pretty well designed and up kept place but cleanliness and state of the hostel left much to be desired. For those considering a single room with shared bathroom facilities - do yourself a favour and choose another hotel. Rooms are located on B1 of the building. Common area was nice, and the room was a decent size but with zero to no soundproofing. I was unlucky to have a neighbour that snored extremely loudly, and barely managed to sleep. You can hear TV noises, sneezes, people walking along the corridor, snoring through the night. Room AC was also old and dusty, and had perpetually blinking red lights. Unless you enjoy restless sleep, please choose somewhere else cause you're not getting a good night's rest here. On to toilet facilities and amenities, the only other good thing was that they provided a towel. But the shared toilet facilities were in an abysmal state. The shower cubicles were extremely tiny, almost no room to move with a very low ceiling, and poorly maintained. There was black mold/stains on the corner of the shower cubicles. Sinks also had blackened stains, and there were drain flies all around the toilet (see photos). Thank goodness I was only here for one night. This is perhaps one of the worst or the worst accommodation I've had the displeasure of staying in. I will never return. Avoid this like the plague.

Perfect for solo travelers! Very good location, few steps from metro and walkable distance from many nice places

Best location. Close to Taipei train station and all amenities. Would stay again.

The location is very good, and amenities are quite decent. The cleaning is not so good, the AC is covered with a huge layer of dust, it looks like it has never been cleaned.

There was a cockroach on the pillow as soon as I entered the room. And the next day, another cockroach appeared. The staff were very kind and I was satisfied with their service. However, if you are looking for a clean hostel, I cannot recommend this place.

Good location and friendly staff. Basic amenities and services but ok overall.

Really liked this place! The single room was a good price, and the environment felt very secure and private, perfect for solo travelers. The location is great too, not far from Taipei Main Station and Ximending, so you can walk everywhere. Very convenient.

Doesnt do housekeeping unless ＞5days stay which is okay since they provide change of towels and sheets. It’s just tiring sometimes. There was no staff when we checked out

Very cosy hotel! The bed was pretty tiny but very comfortable. Had all the necessities and convenient location to walk anywhere in the city.

Good and cheap room but won’t be my best choice. Will go again next time

I stayed in the luxury single room in B1, without private toilet and shower. The room is great, however I don't like the shower facility - hope the hotel will improve it.

Location

Room was clean but AC did not work just blew room temperature air. Was not of concern as it is February but woke up sweating at 9 am.

The soundproofing is a bit poor, but the hotel is conveniently located near public transport and offers great value for money. The bathroom is a bit small though!
