Ximen Corner Hostel

Xiamen Corner Hostel 4F is ideally located near a MRT station (walk through the 7-11 for a short cut route), close to Ximen shopping areas, and a convenient location to see tourist sites like the Red House. Nearby are numerous places to eat. There are indoor restaurants but folks here appear to prefer to eat on the street. I had no difficulty walking and eating at assorted night markets I visited in Taiwan but this "eating out" was not my thing. I got some food to eat among the throng of others out for a meal but in the end I insisted we go a KFC so I could sit down. We booked a private room with bathroom - no extra charge for towels. The room was bare bones - bed, a small table and a coat rack to hang jackets but no closet. The room and bathroom was spotless. Slippers, tissue, toothbrush and hairdryer were unexpected but appreciated. I could feel the coils of the mattress therefore found the bed not conducive to sleep so another comforter was supplied to use as a mattress topper along with another small table that my companion requested. The folks at the front desk are friendly and aim to please. Toast, coffee and tea are put out in morning. No extra charge. There is a lounge for common use but I never saw anyone in it. We were able to store our luggage in order to visit more sights in Taipei before a late departure
