Clean, great location, above-average hostel!
We are a couple and I'm a business traveler. This is a hostel but definitely a fun and clean one, front desk staff very helpful; gatherings in nicely-decorated common areas, good location (5-min walk from Taipei train station); clean room although a bit small, overall great stay. The breakfast stand was cute, we could get a burrito/ egg pancake thingy there for free! :) Good value for the money!

Location is good, 5mins walk from Taipei Main Station. For a hostel, it’s very clean, especially the beds. I like the fact that all beds have a USB port and curtain, very handy and a bit of privacy.

Convenient location
The hostel is located conveniently within walking distance to Taipei Main and Zhongshan stations, and these 2 stations are linked by a super long underground shopping street. The room and bed were quite clean. However, sharing with others means having to put up with smelly shoes and odd smells, and wished the hostel had provided air fresheners. The room I had faced the main street and the noise from the traffic was loud. Plus point is staff are friendly and willing to help.

single room 205- comfortable. a bit noisy by the roadside but i always appreciate a good bright window for hostel stay. the noise is easily avoidable by ear plugs provided, good sleep is secure. good spacious common space at kitchen, longue, lab. location is near to th breakfast is mediocre, but it is located near to 四海豆浆大王 which is my favourite Taiwanese breakfast place, open as early as 5.30am. location is good, walkable from Zhongshan Station and Taipei Main Station.

A unpleasant stay that turned out fantastic!
My initial check-in wasn't a pleasant experience as I was assigned to a room that is different from what I booked and paid for. I tried to explain at check-in that the room with a upper deck bed (that needs climbing) was not what I chose. As it was a late check in at 8pm (i was on a late flight), I was told that it's their policy for first come first serve travelers to get whichever room type that is available, and those who check in late will be issued with whichever rooms left from the category you booked. As it was getting late and all rooms were full, I ended up sleeping on the sofa at the lower deck (the upper deck is really a Steep climb). The next morning I left a feedback on Hotels.com and further explained that i have an injury and climbing up was really a challenge. Within moments, the staff got in touch with me and helped to solve my problem with the room. I want to commend Flona (staff of Flip Flop Hostel) for helping me to settle into a room where I can have easy access to the bed. Thank you Hotels.com too for providing me with an avenue to give feedback and assuring me that my bookings can be made right!

Flip Flop Hostel, Slippers everywhere
The hostel is located next to Taipei main station which makes travelling around Taipei very easy. The staff are helpful and approachable. They provide good service and guidance for day-trips for solo travelers. There are weekly events held at the hostel but do remember to check with the staff whether are the activities still on-going before reserving your time for the event. Lastly, it was a pleasant experience with friendly staff.

Conveniently located close to Taipei Main Station
Chose Flip Flop Hostel for its location. Excellent place since I travelled with a bike bag and had to roll it from the train station. Short walk away. Nearby malls and shopping areas for food. Booked the double bunk bed room. Good condition. Excellent help with storing the bike and left baggage until I had to leave for the airport after checkout. Good wifi.

Near Taipei main station and also ZhongShan MRT. It's a convenient location for me. Other than that, I like their clean, wooden design bedroom, private enough too. However I think that washroom is not well-ventilated because I sweating a lot when I using the washroom, Overall, it's a nice place to rest

空港からの地下鉄駅からも歩ける距離ですし滞在後の拠点としても便利な中山駅に近くて良い立地だと思います。 GoogleMapだと、ホテル名で検索すると複数結果が出て迷いますが運営会社なので同じ場所です。(Map上はこの名前で調べるとでます:Yo-Kai Express @ 夾脚拖的家) リノベーションされた綺麗な施設です。ドミトリーですが仕切りもあり、心地よく過ごせます。スペース内に電源や服を掛けるハンガー、棚、鍵付きボックスもあります。 シャワーやトイレなどの水回りも清潔で使いやすいです。館内用サンダルや水回り場所用の履物など分けられているので外履きと別れていて清潔です。 共有スペースに雑誌があり興味深いです。全ては分かりませんでしたが漢字と写真を眺めて台湾の地域開発などの事例が見れました。書店も併設しているので言葉を覚えたら次は本も見てみたいです。 宿泊数に応じて併設のカフェで使える朝食のバウチャーをもらえます。通常のカフェ営業もしているので追加で欲しければ注文できます。 スタッフの方も英語で丁寧に説明頂きフレンドリーな方でした。ゲストハウス初心者にもオススメできる宿です。 グループで泊まっている方も居たので複数で泊まるのにも向いてます。共有スペースや全体的に広い印象があります。 近くに食事スポットがあります。今回は行けなかったですが阜杭豆漿（フーハン・ドゥジャン）は列が長すぎて朝早く行く必要がありそうです。

台北駅からも中山駅からも徒歩圏内で移動に便利でした。 シャワーが仕切りがなくトイレも床がびしょびしょになってしまうのは驚きましたが、割り切れれば気になりませんでした。 耳栓も貸し出しにありましたが特に必要はありませんでした。 全体的におしゃれで生活感があって良かったです。 朝食は美味しかったけど、物足りなさと飲み物が付いてくればもっと良かったです。
