The common area was dirty, so keep that in mind. If you're not very picky, it might be okay. The bathroom was tolerable and fairly okay, but shared by women and men. I'll add more if I remember anything else. I regretted spending two days at Ximen Wow Hostel. The next day I moved to another hostel, TW HOSTEL, just a short walk away. It was underrated, well maintained, smelled nice, and had a good bathroom and common area. I liked it a lot more. At check-in, the female receptionist shouted that check-in was at 3 PM and told me to come back. My flight had been rebooked, so I arrived at 9 AM after missing the previous day. I had booked for that day before the change and should have been allowed in, but she wouldn't let me. Luckily, the younger guy beside her understood that I was meant to arrive the day before. They also didn't explain the bed and locker setup properly. The locker assignment was right, but the bed was wrong. They still took out my 7 kg luggage and left it in the hallway with a note saying, “Don't sleep on other's bed.” Why take my stuff out? It felt paranoid. There was nobody staying on the lower floor, but they put me upstairs at the very end. I'd specifically requested a lower bed on Agoda, and they agreed, but the female receptionist seemed to be power-tripping. The guests were nice. The female receptionist and the gay cleaner were the ones power-tripping.

The location is good, access is easy, and it's easy to meet people. But if you want to sleep in a fridge, this is the place. The AC was much too cold. Every day I asked them to make it warmer and the receptionists said yes, but five minutes later it was back to ice-pole temperature. I spent two days here and now I'm sick. You need a jacket to go to the toilet and a scarf and hat to sleep. You wake up like iced tea with no tea. I don't understand why they do this. It ruins the stay, and I hope they change it.

WOW Ximen Hostel was one of the best hostels I've stayed in. It has a clean, safe environment and friendly staff, right in the heart of the city. I had a spectacular stay and will definitely come back when I'm in Taipei.

There were bedbugs, passive aggressive people, and the living room speaker was right by my head. With no insulation, loud music was constantly coming through while I was in the room. The AC was freezing too. I'd ask them to turn it up, but later they'd turn it back down. Similar to the other reviews I read. About their response: classic deflection. I cancelled the WorldPackers Application myself once I realized who it was.

The location is perfect, but light sleepers, beware. The live band bar next door might make you cry. The singers sound like they've come straight from the underworld!
