If cheap is your first priority, there’s [Amigo Hostel](http://0808.net/hostel/) and [Happy Family Hostels](http://happyfamily.tripod.com). 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](http://www.globalfreeloaders.com) 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! They don’t have a website, but here are their phone numbers: (02) 2351-8705. (02) 2321-4653 Fax: (02) 2321-2191. ---

The cheapest places tend to be close to the train stations.
