First time staying in a hostel and overall a very pleasant stay. I booked a private room. It was clean, shower pressure was good and in a good central location - 10 minutes walk from ximen station. I was able to make new friends very quickly. Be prepared to carry your luggage from ground to first floor as lift starts from first floor. Also I would have preferred tea/ coffee facility in private room which was missing.

8-10mins walk from Ximending station. No dining options, Staff were great though.
I liked how the rooms were full-packed and quiet. You guys should need an elevator though, but it didn't really matter cuz the employee helps you with your luggage.

Air quality is poor. (Room is hardly ventilated and they turn off AC in the daytime. I guess the staff) Elevator is not convenient - you need to carry your luggage up to 2nd floor to take it.
The location is far away enough from most of the Xiamending shops to where noise is not an issue. But the location is convenient enough to everything. 10 mins from the subway .
Very nice hostel, only thing lockers are tiny no point having them cant fit a backpack in there. Also whilst the mattress is very soft it is so thin its like sleeping straight on the wood. That being said would still stay again if I was in Taipei. Location also excellent
Room was very decent except for the noise out on the street. I note double insulated windows are installed but it dosent completely help
Overall still decent stay
Thank you to all the staff for being friendly and polite.
The hotel staff were very friendly and when I asked about something I didn't understand they tried to understand my poor English, which I was very grateful for.
There were trash cans in various places, the hotel was clean, and the bed was fluffy and comfortable.
The only bad points are that it's hard to find the location (where the bath mat is and where the slippers and shoes are at the entrance) and the rooms are small. Since the price is cheap, I guess that's unavoidable.
I would like to stay here again the next time I go to Taiwan.
Meander hostel has the best friendly staff who answered all my questions with useful info and quickly. It has the best Lobby area for social activities amongst residents who are mostly internationals. It is near the subway blue and green line in a 10 mins walk. It’s located in the famous Xiamen district therefore everywhere lots of happenings and Activities. Such as concert/ signing at the street. major stores are H&M, Adidas , Nike, etc
I would recommend meander
