UZ Hostel

bed was comfy and the pillow but the air circulation in your own capsule is bad so you need to open your door

According to google map this is the closest to Banqiao train station and access to the high speed rail so I walked 10 minutes to it. It on a basement floor so do not hope for a cheerful window view in any area of the hostel. As with most any hostel people wake you up at 1am and then at around five. However since people do not see fellow sleepers in dorm beds drowsing my theory is this makes them louder in the common coffin area. Since the coffins are plastic shells noise travels easily to you. On the other hand you may feel safer and definitely more private in your coffin. Bathroom was not cleaned expeditiously. Staff asked me to fetch the tiny bath towel I left in my coffin upon checkout. Thoughtlessly or more likely economically the you must request earphones for the tv it is not provided in your pod. Matters and thick blanket very clean - but you may want to sleep on your blanket instead of feeling the plastic through your 3 inch mattress pad.

BE AWARE: if you book a capsule for 2 persons, make sure that you book the deluxe capsule, because the normal one is way too small for Western people! If you prefer a quiet place then I wouldn't recommend this place (I think any dorm). The capsules are plastic and are not isolating any sounds (expect to be woken up from people turning in their beds and people coming in and out of the room). The bathroom is clean and the staff is doing their best, but I think that dorms are just not for us ud83dude4f

The place is clean and quiet but my concern is that you should put a notice outside (front entrance) informing the guests that there is another side entrance for those who went outside and came back the hotel late.Thank you.

I think this is an 'okay' place to have a Star Wars capsule hotel experience but I would recommend one night only. If you want a capsule hotel experience there are better options and a single room in a hotel is not that much more expensive. My main problems: my ac is not working in the capsule and I found wrapped up tissues inside the capsule when I arrived.... quite nasty. The capsules are not very sound proof and the door to the capsule makes a starwars beep sound EVERY SINGLE TIME you unlock it... I was tired of it the second time I heard it. And you hear the same sound everytime someone else unlocks their door. The hygiene in the shared shower/bathroom is quite okay. For the theme itself: besides the capsules there are some SW props laying around so the immersion is not overly convincing. My stay came with included breakfast. The breakfast is at Macdonalds and you get one food item and one drink but not a breakfast set. My recommendation: spend a night if you really must but don't plan your stay in Taipei around this hostel.
