Hostel Cyclist

"Book directly with the hotel and get a choice of rooms: Official, Double Standard, the Tub, Dorm 1, Dorm 2, and the Balcony. I like Double Standard on the 3F so that you can pretend ur in the forest!"

"Ask for a ride from xinbeitou metro station to their doorstep. Also can eat and rest here. excellent exhibitions on tea, etc. It's under private management (otherwise known as better than public)"

"there it is! Best iced coffee in Taipei. Agreed. Also, nice respite that isn't inside the chichi breeze center"

"Get the side dishes of fermented cabbage. The steamed pork spare ribs in rice is real good. Finish with dessert in the neighborhood!"

"Villa pools are fun for kids."

"excellent breads. the tiramisu is a must order."
