The location is phenomenal - so central and easily walkable from the main train and bus stations. Extremely easy to get to from the airport and the area is super nice and walkable. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The bed was great and felt private. The staff was kind and the communal space was nice. Breakfast is nice, albeit with a limited selection to choose from.

Set in the hippest east area of Taipei, Star Hostel Taipei East has transformed from an old residential house to modern Eco-friendly accommodation hosting travellers worldwide. Free WiFi is featured in all areas.

Amazing place, I've stayed at five different hostels in Taipei. They've all been good, even great. But I think Star Hostel has been exceptional. It's a little pricey than some, but well worth it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Easy to reach from the airport, within 3 minutes walking from Taipei Main station. Very very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were modern too. The bunk beds were surprisingly spacious! I could fit my suitcase there (only standing up though) but there was some separate storage space for suitcases as well. Friendly and helpful staff, had a lovely time there and the hostel kept me safe during earthquakes..! :)

The facilities offer everything you need for a good and safe stay (in a hostel). The beds were so comfortable and everything was working just fine. The shared bathroom was super clean. It really exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it, especially for a woman/girl traveling by herself.

    it’s a hotel which also has a hostel section. For a youth hostel bunk bed (8 bunks in a room without windows), it’s not cheap. However, it is hotel quality - spotlessly clean, great aircon and ventilation, breakfast buffet included, tea and water all day in their common room with TV. the bathroom is large, clean, has hot water and hair dryers. there is also a laundry room with several washing machines and dryers which are all free to use! All guests were highly respectful and the beds have curtains and allow for privacy.

    On the basis of one stay, I would say this is one of the best hostels in the Taipei Station area. The dormitory was excellent; the bunk beds were very well designed. The environment was quiet despite others in the dorm. and there was little or no noise from outside. A good bathroom.
