The hostel and room had everything I needed because I mainly wanted a cheap and central place to sleep and store my luggage, but explore the city / island during the days. The room was tiny but met my requirements. I was positively surprised how little noise I heard from the street and the neighbour rooms. The room and the shared bathroom were clean. The latter was well equipped with soap, shampoo, hair dryer etc.. There were drinking water dispensers, a fridge to store food and kitchen area (roof terrace). Luggage could be stored before check-in and after check-out. There were washing machines and dryers (and a commercial coin laundry next door).

The room window could not be opened. Thus the feeling of real airing was not possible and the room sometimes seemed a bit stinky because of that. However, there was internal ventilation with a fan and the aircondition. If you plan to enjoy time in the common area of the hostel, make sure to pick the right time of year. In July, when I stayed there, the common space on the (open but covered) roof top was even hotter than the streets. So it is almost impossible to spend some longer time there.

The staff in here was amazing. My room had a problem with lights (they went on and off in the middle of the night) but next morning when I talked with them they promised to fix it and so they did. Also everything was surprisingly clean!

One annoyance was that I was accommodated on the second floor but all the facilities for men were on the third floor. Also the room was very moist and you could smell the possible mould too. This might be a standard issue in Taiwan though since the climate is unbelievably steamy.

What a hidden gem ColorMix is!! Great location - near enough to Ximen nightlife without being bothered by it, shops and services in the immediate area. Attentive owner & staff with good English. Quiet enough, fully-featured compact room with fridge and comfortable bed/pillows, on-site kitchenette & coin laundry - see Reception for coin change. TV in room with decent choice of local channels, including a couple of English (US) ones.

Umm... not much to not like. Oh, I couldn't stay on my return because it was booked out! Ok, the room could be more spacious ..but it would be more expensive. Also, my room could've faced a direction other than east, so the morning sun didn't heat up the BIG WINDOW. ..but that's unreasonable. I'm struggling to find things to not like!

Location is a few minutes walk from Ximending Night Market and Ximen exit 6 near, had minimal interaction with the staff aside from when i left my luggage, check in and check out, the shower area and comfort room are always clean. My room (10) was in front of the shower are and comfort room which is very nice, easily accessible when needed, there's available water dispenser. There's no window but still comfortable and minimal noise can be heard once the door is closed (only noisy when there's people just outside the door which rarely happened when I was there only when they're cleaning).

Our flight delayed 3hrs. The check in counter texted us a warm regards. Appreciate that. The staff and boss provide us a lot advice and solution during the stay of us at Taipei. 24hrs security provided... this is awesome for us. Strategy location, just less than 5 mins walk from the busier area but quiet during the sleeping hr.

My room air conditioner not really working.... I hope can do regular service and maintenance, this is simple provision as a hotel/hostel service provider.

Really neat place to stay! Convenient location and decent prices! The room is quite spacious compared to similar places in the area. Bathrooms are locked by keycards, and only males who booked the room can open male bathroom, and vice versa for females - very secure and safe spaces! Clean rooms, close location to Ximen MRT. Sadly I forgot to take any photos or video of the place, but it was really good!!

The hallways have random changes in elevations, and it can be a little surprising to drop down suddenly as they’re not noticeable with the carpets, but otherwise, nothing else bad.

Fantastic location right near to but a little away from the busy shopping district of Ximending. Means you can brave that crowd easily whenever you want to, but also have a quiet respite away from the bustle when necessary. I was really impressed by the facilities. The word 'hostel' gave me pause but I booked a double room in the 'hotel' section and it was lovely. Spacious, very clean, great roomy shower with excellent water pressure, and a really comfortable bed. Free bottles of water in the fridge with a mini-safe available for use too. Solid three-star accomodation that you get for cheaper. There's also a 7-11 and a couple of food stalls nearby that stay open really late so you can get authentic Taiwanese food even late at night. Would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed my stay! Nothing bad to report, certainly not for the price I paid.

Great location close to restaurants and the subway stop. The rooms and the common bathrooms were clean.

There was a weird smell in two of the three rooms I have stayed in. If you’re unlucky your room is not on the same floor as the bathrooms for your gender as each floor is dedicated to one gender. Also, if your room is next to the bathroom you will clearly hear the water running from bathroom.

The location of the property is perfect and in the middle of everything in Ximen. The staff is very friendly and most of them very helpful, as well. My room had its own bathroom with blissful water pressure, and was exceptionally clean. The mattress, indeed, was quite comfortable.

Walls and doors are thin as paper, but 99% of the time I still didn’t hear anyone except for the cleaning team and a snoring neighbor. I would absolutely recommend this place and book it again.

I booked a room for 4 and we were given the room at the 6th floor which is the only room of the floor,it was quiet,comfortable for us 4 and the room was large,it even has a 2-seater sofa to chill.I am not sure about how the other rooms look like but ours was super nice.The beds were comfortable,the bathroom was clean and basic necessities included. Checking in was quick,it was easy to find and a lot of hole in the wall food stalls if you want to try authentic chinese/taiwanese foods.it even has convenience stores around every block so you won't get hungy🤗 incase you do not like to try aunties/uncles cooking☺️.
