They never fail with cleanliness. Either you get a private or shared bathroom are— you won’t worry about cleanliness. Daily towel change and the bathroom is spot on clean. never runs out of bathroom tissue.
I have been staying here every time I go to Taiwan for business or medical trip.
Pleasant staff to add!

The hotel is clean and conveniently located near the train station. There are plenty of great local eateries nearby, and there's a 7-Eleven right on the ground floor of the building.
The dormitory is clean and equipped with lockers, making it a suitable option for solo travelers. One minor issue is that the door closes quite loudly, which may disturb other guests if someone returns late at night.

It’s about 200m from exit Y13, it’s not difficult to fond this hostel. For 8 person room, the space is quite small, but luckily all of us didn’t have too large luggage. Otherwise it’s really a comfortable stay, cute n cosy common space and free flow of tea i love it

Women's dorm and bathrooms were clean,vthe dorm was really quiet except for people packing/unpacking
Location is good, within walking distance from Taipei station. Common area was comfy. Reception area is too small especially when there are guests checking in & out at the same time. All staff were helpful and friendly except Kelly (Reception) who was blunt and rude

Strategic location. Barely less than 10 minutes walk from Taipei Main Station Exit Y13. And it is also very near to the Airport Express Train exit.
The service crews are very friendly and attentive
The room is clean, and they have a fully equipped pantry

Staying at MEANDER 1948 felt less like a hostel and more like a hidden gem designed by someone who truly understands what travelers need. From the moment I stepped in, I could tell this place had personality—warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. The cozy sleeping pods were like little personal retreats, with great lighting and just the right amount of privacy. I may or may not have considered moving in permanently.
The bathrooms and showers? Immaculate. Like, “I wouldn’t even hesitate to walk in barefoot” kind of clean. They were well-maintained, spacious, and stocked with everything I needed. A true blessing for anyone who’s ever had a questionable hostel bathroom experience.
Then there’s the common area, which was basically a social butterfly’s dream and a tired traveler’s sanctuary all in one. Whether you wanted to chat with fellow adventurers, get some work done, or just chill with a cup of coffee, it had you covered. Speaking of coffee—huge shoutout to the coffee machine. It wasn’t just a machine; it was a daily lifesaver.
MEANDER 1948 absolutely crushed it when it came to comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful design. It’s the kind of place that makes you rethink ever booking a boring hotel again. If you’re heading to Taipei, do yourself a favor and stay here—you won’t regret it!

The check-in front desk only starts at 8 am so if you arrive earlier, there is a 7-Eleven next door for you to take a rest. Service is good, staff are friendly and with the breakfast voucher I got to explore the neighbourhood eateries. If you are coming from Taoyuan Airport, you can take the Airport Express train, the entrance and exit are near where the hotel is located. It's near Taipei Main Station where you can take the High Speed Rail, local railway and metro. Love the design of the room I stayed in as they kept the old building structure.

Out of the two hotels I stayed at in Taipei, this one was definitely the best. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the daily housekeeping kept everything clean and comfortable. The location couldn’t be better — there’s a 711 right downstairs, and it’s very easy to get around the city from here.
The room was a bit small, but honestly, that’s the only minor downside I can think of. Everything else was excellent. I really enjoyed my stay and would gladly come back again.

Really convenient location close to the main station and Beimen MRT. The hostel provides breakfast vouchers. The laundry facilities are more expensive (120 NT for wash and dry) than other places I’ve stayed at but the machine is very quick and efficient.
