Park City Inn & Hostel Yonghe Taipei

Hands-down this was the most impressive hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Clean, quiet, safe, sparkling bathroom and excellent service; I was amazed to be offered super-soft cotton bedding usually only seen in 5-star hotels. It felt like high-thread count Egyptian cotton to me. How could this be, at such an affordable price for budget travelers? To boot, the hostel even offered free breakfast coupons, free (self-serve) high quality coffee, free detergent for self-serve laundry, shoe-drying machines for when your shoes are wet from rain, and a 10NTD per 5-minutes smart-massager, that was bliss, I really needed that. Shiatsu on a literal dime! This hostel was so good, and true! The staff were courteous and even handled a large and excitable school group with love and kindness. Honestly, I slept so peacefully for two nights, when I expected to be bothered by fellow bunk-bed roommates. Everyone in the room was courteous. The bunk bed was spacious, air conditioned, private, and even had a night light, small mirror and handy shelf for your phone and room card-key. I highly recommend Park City Inn! They have private rooms, too, if you need 💯 privacy. Go for it! Location is 10 seconds from the Metro exit 1, I think, at Dingxi, a bustling area with a traditional market right downstairs behind McDonald’s.
