MEANDER Taipei

Our stay at Meander Taipei during New Year's Eve was absolutely delightful! The staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable, offering helpful local recommendations and assistance whenever needed. Their excellent English proficiency made communication effortless, which is particularly valuable for international travelers. What truly sets Meander Taipei apart is its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The common areas are thoughtfully designed to encourage interaction among guests, creating a friendly and social environment perfect for meeting fellow travelers. Despite the festive season, the hostel maintained a comfortable and relaxed vibe. The helpful staff, English-speaking environment, and inviting atmosphere make Meander Taipei an excellent choice for anyone visiting Taipei, especially during special occasions like New Year's Eve. Highly recommended for both solo travelers and groups looking for a comfortable and sociable accommodation option.

I would definitely stay here again, it’s near Ximending and the staff helped me booked uber when I checked out. Very helpful ☺️

I think this hostel is good backpacker, good value, good location, but you might need that extra luck to make it a comfortable stay. I stayed in this hostel for two times, one in November 2024, and this time in February 2025. The last one was a good one, very good value for money, so I decided to stay in this hostel again, which turned out to be a less enjoyable one.  During my second stay, there are roommates who turned off the Air-conditioner and close the windows. I tried to turn on the air conditioner, and the roommate turned it off afterwards, and because I got problem inhaling fresh air so I woke up in the night and turned the AC back on, the roommate turned it off again… so this situation repeated for 3 times. I gave up and go to bed anyway, trying to avoid potential conflict. I reported to the hostel and requested for a change of room, but there were no room available for change, the hostel replied they will talk to the roommate and put a note to settle the situation. I ended up leaving the hostel that day and moved to another proper hotel, hotel papa whale. I originally paid for 3 nights in Meander Taipei, but I only spent one night and didn’t want to experience another night switching on and off for the air con.  I also stayed in Meander 1948 in 2025 January, it was a very comfortable stay and the Air Conditioner was always on. I hope there will be some sort of arrangement to settle, not just leaving the roommates to decide whether to turn on or off by personal choice, as there are 4 people in one room, it gotta be different opinions. I understand the price is cheap, but there is also a reason, and this time I just happened to experience.

the check-in process was efficient and seamless and the lady at the front desk introduced the facilities well! i love the social space on the first floor of the room that gave travellers the opportunity to bond with one another! the facilities were also really clean, and i had a really comfortable shower and sleep during my night there! would love to be back if i'm ever travelling taipei again :D

It was a nice stay! The facilities were great and the service was amazing. Wifi was great as well. If you are coming with a big luggage, I would recommend taking an uber/taxi over instead.

Had a really great stay here and really enjoyed my time! The staff went above and beyond to help and I really appreciate that. Information boards in hotel are a great help
