I had a great time at the hostel in Taipei. The location of the hostel is super central and its easy to reach the must-visit places either by foot or by public transport. The host is very nice and has great cooking skills. The work is not too hard and you'll often be finished earlier on weekdays. Anyways definitely come here if you want to explore Taipei !

Thank you so much for staying with us at Dan Hostel and for all your help during your time here! It was truly a pleasure having you around. Your positive energy and dedication brought a great vibe to the place, and I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the location (and my cooking, haha).

I’m glad the work schedule gave you time to explore and enjoy Taipei — there’s so much to see and do here! You’re always welcome back anytime. Wishing you all the best in your travels ahead .

I loved my time in Taipei, the city is amazing and has so much to offer! the hostel is a nice place to work and live, 10/10 location, it's just not a very social hostel which disappointed me in the beginning but luckily the other volunteers were nice and it's easy to meet people outside. The work is also fair and easy especially when there are more volunteers. I felt very comfortable here, thank you so much for this experience! 🙌🏼

As my first Worldpackers experience, this was an incredible way to start. Had a wonderful experience at Dans Hostel, all the staff and volunteers were a pleasure to work with. May was a kind manager and accommodating. The work load was fair and I always had time to explore Taipei afterwards.
