I don't understand the good ratings of this hostel!
I booked a private room. It was very small, so the breathing air became very heavy. It was dusty, damp and humid, the air conditioning was so loud that I couldn't sleep well.
There are only two showers and two toilets! The toilet cubes are extremely small, if you are overweight you'll have trouble fitting there. It wasn't crowded because I traveld in non-peak season, but I could imagine it getting crowded.
The breakfast was a dissapointment. The communal area is very small. I booked the hostel because I read they arrange lots of things to do - there was one trip to the Elephant Mountain in a rainy night. That's all.
The location is good, close to Taipei 101.

I stayed here for 2 nights in mix and female doem. Love the dorm beds so much, especially the pillow is very comfortable. The staff let me put my baggage in the storage room so I could go for a day tour after check out. Can't find a better place in Taipei and will always come back here!
4.2
The property feels like home. There's plenty of opportunity to meet new friends. I love it here.

This is my first hostel stay and I guess I expected more. The one I stayed at before was a guesthouse where there were 10 people max and I got to know at least a few of the people pretty well. Here there were a bunch of rooms like a hotel, the difference being that not all rooms had bathrooms and most of the rooms didn't have windows. In addition, it seems like most people keep to themselves unless they are forced into a dorm type room of which I don't believe there was one. Lots of rooms, always people checking in, there's a commons area and breakfast. I honestly think the female staffers who wore glasses hate their jobs and possibly their lives. Not very friendly people.
The biggest problem I had was the men's restroom. You have to actually go outside of the hostel to reach it, then down the hall only to discover that the washing machine is essentially inside the men's restroom and directly across the men's showers.

A fantastic budget stay. Opposite a night market for evening meal options. Nearby to a beautiful park, an the famous Taipei 101 and Elephant mountain trail. Friendly staff that English perfectly and free delicious bagels for breakfast as well as free tea and coffee all day round. A beautiful city and a beautifully well run hostel.

had a wonderful night with fellow roommate in the common area.

Had a good stay here, and the breakfast is a decent way to start the day. Close to Elephant Mountain for walking, 101 for shopping and close enough to the MRT for everything else
4.2
I stayed here for three nights.
First of all, the staffs are really nice, friendly and kind! Second, the quality of facilities are really clean and good. Also the mood of hostel feel really cozy. And the sightseeing is good. You can see the Taipei 101 at the hostels balcony.
The last it is really good for making new friends!! If I go one more time in Taipei, I will choose this hostel again. Also the traffic is also good. You just red line Mrt to get here

I liked my stay at Formosa 101. The single room I had was very basic, nothing fancy, but that's expected for the price. The shared bathroom and common areas are also clean. My favorite was the free neighborhood tour led by Yves, which was both enjoyable and educational. The tour ends at a local restaurant that serves delicious food!

The staff is nice.
The bathrooms are clean.
The only drawback is that the room is a bit smelly if air conditioner is switched off.

Nice, warm environment, hotel staff is friendly, it's easy to make friends here. Room is small and without window(some rooms may have windows), but it is clean and comfortable enough with AC and fans running. Bathrooms and kitchen are also very clean. Breakfast is simple but sufficient to fill the stomach before you go out in the morning. Convenient location-walking distance to Taipei101, Tonghua Night Market, and not far from Taipei Zoo, MaoKong etc. If come to Taipei again, would definitely consider staying here again.

I stayed there last week and really enjoyed it! The staff is super helpful and nice, rooms clean and comfortable. The best part is a lively living room, full of people and a super cool bar downstairs. Will be back soon :)

Got there quite late at night but not a problem at all! They have best night shift I've ever met. Easy to checkin in the middle of the night, no problems. I woke up in the center of Taipei with food market in front of my eyes. Taipei101 is just 3 mins from there too. Citybikes 1 minute. They have also coolest stuff working there, Phoenix and Ann made my stay a dream, I could stay there forever... :***
