It’s about 200m from exit Y13, it’s not difficult to fond this hostel. For 8 person room, the space is quite small, but luckily all of us didn’t have too large luggage. Otherwise it’s really a comfortable stay, cute n cosy common space and free flow of tea i love it

Women's dorm and bathrooms were clean,vthe dorm was really quiet except for people packing/unpacking
Location is good, within walking distance from Taipei station. Common area was comfy. Reception area is too small especially when there are guests checking in & out at the same time. All staff were helpful and friendly except Kelly (Reception) who was blunt and rude

Strategic location. Barely less than 10 minutes walk from Taipei Main Station Exit Y13. And it is also very near to the Airport Express Train exit.
The service crews are very friendly and attentive
The room is clean, and they have a fully equipped pantry

Staying at MEANDER 1948 felt less like a hostel and more like a hidden gem designed by someone who truly understands what travelers need. From the moment I stepped in, I could tell this place had personality—warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. The cozy sleeping pods were like little personal retreats, with great lighting and just the right amount of privacy. I may or may not have considered moving in permanently.
The bathrooms and showers? Immaculate. Like, “I wouldn’t even hesitate to walk in barefoot” kind of clean. They were well-maintained, spacious, and stocked with everything I needed. A true blessing for anyone who’s ever had a questionable hostel bathroom experience.
Then there’s the common area, which was basically a social butterfly’s dream and a tired traveler’s sanctuary all in one. Whether you wanted to chat with fellow adventurers, get some work done, or just chill with a cup of coffee, it had you covered. Speaking of coffee—huge shoutout to the coffee machine. It wasn’t just a machine; it was a daily lifesaver.
MEANDER 1948 absolutely crushed it when it came to comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful design. It’s the kind of place that makes you rethink ever booking a boring hotel again. If you’re heading to Taipei, do yourself a favor and stay here—you won’t regret it!
