I think this hostel is good backpacker, good value, good location, but you might need that extra luck to make it a comfortable stay. I stayed in this hostel for two times, one in November 2024, and this time in February 2025. The last one was a good one, very good value for money, so I decided to stay in this hostel again, which turned out to be a less enjoyable one.
During my second stay, there are roommates who turned off the Air-conditioner and close the windows. I tried to turn on the air conditioner, and the roommate turned it off afterwards, and because I got problem inhaling fresh air so I woke up in the night and turned the AC back on, the roommate turned it off again… so this situation repeated for 3 times. I gave up and go to bed anyway, trying to avoid potential conflict. I reported to the hostel and requested for a change of room, but there were no room available for change, the hostel replied they will talk to the roommate and put a note to settle the situation. I ended up leaving the hostel that day and moved to another proper hotel, hotel papa whale. I originally paid for 3 nights in Meander Taipei, but I only spent one night and didn’t want to experience another night switching on and off for the air con.
I also stayed in Meander 1948 in 2025 January, it was a very comfortable stay and the Air Conditioner was always on. I hope there will be some sort of arrangement to settle, not just leaving the roommates to decide whether to turn on or off by personal choice, as there are 4 people in one room, it gotta be different opinions. I understand the price is cheap, but there is also a reason, and this time I just happened to experience.
