Latest Review for Hostel of Taiwanmex
Overall, Taiwanmex is a good hostel to stay if you do not mind the lack of facilities (shower room is actually a temporary shower cubic unit) and the moderate space (double room). The location is quite good (at ZhongShan MRT) which is centralized. Cost is also very competitive and considered one of the lowest in the area. Not a bad place if you want good location/moderate room space and don't mind the lack of proper facilities.

What is a Hostel ???? only backpackers know that.
What are you looking for in a hostel?
Our aim is to help Backpackers travel easily in Taiwan and we strive to be a bastion to budget tourists, business travellers, vacationers, sightseers, students or anyone looking for a warm, friendly and inexpensive environment in our great city. The only thing we ask of any traveller is to leave all your reservations at home and open your mind to Taipei's vast and beautiful culture, food, people and lifestyle. We will do everything within our power to provide you with a great new experience. TaiwanMex: no reservations, no limits.
Our two buildings offer the most convenient facilities for travellers on a budget. Though our rooms are small and simple we provide all the amenities needed to make you feel just like your journey is a weekend at home with friends. The first hostel is located on the 2nd Floor. It has bunk share rooms, two bathrooms, calm and peaceful rooms and air-conditioning for the entire building. We also provide free coffee in the mornings and will try to help you find anything else you need.
(*note that in this location our rooms do not have windows though the common area does*)
The other location is on the 9th Floor, just a one minute walk from the first location. It has Private Single rooms, three person rooms, four person rooms and six person rooms. All have nice views of the city, such as Taipei 101 and Shinkong Mitsukoshi tower. There is also a Large open balcony, three showers at balcony and two indoor toilets. And for your security our brave cat Mimi ('Secret' in Chinese) is ready to watch out for any danger that may approach - although our hostel is exceedingly safe and friendly.

Important Information
Conditions
We are conveniently located in the heart of Taipei. Less than 1 minute walk from the ZhongShan Station (MRT EXIT) you will arrive Guest House TaiwanMex.(Only ONE STOP from Taipei Main Station.) Call us we will pick you up when you arrive ZhongShan MRT Station Exit One.
We have made sure our location is within walking distance of the main station (10 minutes) as we know that people don't want to worry about navigating an unfamiliar bus or subway system when they first arrive.
So When you arrive at Taipei Main Station please call Taiwanmex and we will meet you at Zhongshan MRT Station and Bring you back to Taiwanmex.
We wanted to locate our Guest House in a very quiet and very safe area because we know that peace & quiet is the most important thing for guests. There is a Monetary and a Church on our street and it is very calm.
You are coming to one of the most exciting shopping and nightlife districts in Taipei with every opportunity to easily and conveniently walk from our guest house to, for example: a minute to Zhongshan Underground Shopping Mall or a minute to Taipei Art Museums or a minute to the three of the Department Store Mitsukoshi or 30 second walk on the same street as the FamousE ' Department Stores or 30 second walk from one of the earliest opening and latest closing juicebar/cafe's BEST GOURMET COFFEE & DESSERT shop in all of Taipei !! It's great anytime !!
