Poshpacker Hotel

My overall experience on this hotel is great - it is my attempt to book on a room with shared common areas - with good location and walkable to various attractions near Taipei Main Station and even in Ximen. The room is quite small for a single person, but it does it functions well with a fridge inside and TV. The safe locker is not working however, and a consistent minor buzzing sound is heard but tolerable. The common toilets are Japanese style which is nice to use with less water spills and tissues provided. Shower area is good though the ceiling might need some repair as it a bit dated. Instructions on how to use the shower itself should be posted, I sometimes end up using the faucet part instead. Common area is on the basement below and good area to consume foods, with dispenser and wash area nearby. There is also another dining/rest area at the 7F rooftop, with the laundry area near the stairs. The basic amenities in the room is great - bottled water and towels provided - however as others comment here before soundproofing might be a problem for light sleepers. Despite this, I still give this hotel a chance on my next visit as it is one of the cheaper options already on this area.

It was a good stay at Poshpacker Hotel. As a solo traveler, I found their single room with a shared bathroom to be the most affordable option in Taipei, offering good privacy. The hotel is close to both the Taipei Main Station and the Ximen area, offering an excellent accessibility to the city. The staff at the reception were polite and helpful. The room was clean and had enough space to open a small suitcase on the floor. Towels and bottled water were provided. The shared bathroom was regularly cleaned, and essentials such as hair dryers, cotton swabs, shampoo, and shower gel were available. A couple of side notes: It was a bit inconvenient to keep your belongings (like dry clothes) inside the shower room, so you need to place them on the shelf outside. Also, the toilet cubicles were quite narrow, making it easy to bump into the walls and doors. However, I understand there may not be much that can be done to improve this.

Its good, recommended for solo travelers
