Any others? I will be in Taiwan for about 4 days, not sure of route yet, so just looking for random information of places where there is good cheap acommodation!
If cheap is your first priority, there’s Amigo Hostel and Happy Family Hostels. Never been there so I can’t tell you what they’re like, but the cheapest beds are dorm beds and the bathroom facilities are shared. Spartan facilities - not for wimps or whiners.
Or, sign up for Global Freeloaders and stay at someone’s place for free.
A friend of mine just stayed at Taian Hotel. It’s a pretty nice and affordable hotel in a good location. Less than 5 minutes walk to Guting MRT station on the corner Heping E. Rd and Jinshan S. Rd.
The rooms were smallish, but clean and comfortable. Western style bathroom w/bathtub, a small fridge, Cable T.V.
Also, the hotel is on a corner, so every room has a decent view. There’s no elevator though, so if you’re on the 4th or 5th floor, you’ve got to walk the stairs.
Only 1000NT per night. A great deal for central Taipei!
