Clean, great location, above-average hostel!

We are a couple and I'm a business traveler. This is a hostel but definitely a fun and clean one, front desk staff very helpful; gatherings in nicely-decorated common areas, good location (5-min walk from Taipei train station); clean room although a bit small, overall great stay. The breakfast stand was cute, we could get a burrito/ egg pancake thingy there for free! :) Good value for the money!
