I have stumbled upon this hostel thanks to my friend who have found this cosy place during our stay for a night in Taipei before heading to Kaohsiung for a friend's wedding. Upon returning from Kaohsiung, I have decided to stay in Taipei for 3 more nights and made a reservation in NiHao @ Taipei Hostel.
 |
| NiHao @ Taipei Hostel using an fun alien galaxy theme to attract travellers. 'Ni Hao' is a basic greeting in mandarin Chinese which means 'how are you'. |
 |
| My very first stay in NiHao @ Taipei Hostel was in 5 person room with a private toilet. This room is very suitable for a family of 5 |
 |
| during my return to Taiwan, I stayed in the mixed dorm. Each room is fitted with 4 x double decker bed. |
 |
| Each bed is fitted with a LED spot light, and a mini hanger as well as electrical socket |
 |
| every bed is also fitted with a 'curtain' for personal privacy which makes it an ideal sleepover for any backpackers or travellers. |
 |
| Locker is also provided |
 |
| 3 toilets are provided. Each toilet is fitted with water saving equipments as well as LED lightings |
 |
| this is the common hall only for those who stays in the hostel |
 |
| a great place for with pantry and sofa for everyone |
 |
| You can also choose to 'hang' out at the common hall at the reception which is located on different floor |
 |
| You can spend your time surfing the net, watching televisions or even indulge in Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 console |
 |
| the most important factor is that, you will be greeted by friendly and helpful staff at the hostel which is one of the most important factors in this industry. |
Bathroom:
Shower gel is provided for free of charge but towels can be rented for a very small sum of money.
Internet Wifi:
The most important amenities in any kind of backpackers hostel. Free and really reliable high speed internet is provided. I could even surf inside my bedroom with strong Wifi signal.
Location:
Very strategic location situated just less than 5 minutes walk from Taipei Central Station. Free and very reliable tour advice are provided by friendly staff.
Rooms:
Value for money rooms are very clean and the whole buildings are perfectly insulated. The bed was very cosy and comfortable except for some hidden thrash beside the bed which was overlooked. I hope that the staff could look into this matter.
Green practice:
As an environmentalist myself, I would comment that NiHao @ Taipei Hostel is very environmentally friendly indeed. At least 95% of the lightings are LED lightings with water saving equipment and showers fitted in the toilet. Keep up the good practice.
Overall, I would like to give NiHao @ Taipei Hostel a rating of 4.5/5. Personally I would definitely return to stay in this place if I were to visit Taipei again.
