Where to Stay in Taiwan

Youth Hostels

Youth hostels are the cheapest short-term accommodations available.

A typical hostel room sleeps three to nine people, and all of these guests share a bathroom. Prices average NT$220 (US$8) per night and many hostels offer discounts for stays of a week or more.

For those who don't require privacy, hostels can be a lot of fun. They are usually full of young people and are good places to gather the latest information on teaching, night spots, and cheap housing.
