Well, my choice come to Work Inn, they have 2 branch and I choose Work Inn 101 which is closer to 101 building. Done reservation through agoda and I choose the single room. They have dormitory capsule room and single room.
The rate is USD 35.86 for one night without breakfast.
I think I have experience already with capsule dorm in Singapore years ago and want to try a different experience with box room.

I arrived around 11 in the night and take MRT toward Taipei 101 Station, go through exit 2 and go straight until you meet traffic light, turn left and go straight it will be on your left side or just follow google map.
Location is very convenience, 7-11 just besides, night market within 5 minute walk and bus station in front of the lobby. Surprisingly convenience than I think.

So when I arrived they give me warm welcome and quick check-in. Female area is place in 2nd floor while mixed area are in 1st floor. So as I book female single room, it place in 2nd floor and they don't have elevator. I have prepare my self to take my luggage up to 2nd floor, but surprisingly they have lift for luggage, woohooo! It's an amazing things in backpacker hostel so far.

That drinking fountain is so precious but remember you need to bring your own bottle, except towel there is no other complimentary toiletries. Shower gel and shampoo are available in public toilet.
This is the entrance of 2nd floor for ladies area, you need to tap on the access card to enter the door so make sure don't forget the card everytime you leave your room.

| So even you go to drinking fountain, bring your access card also |
Voilaaa, this is the room view once you open the door. Quiet small for room so I called it box hostel. A good choice for you if you want more private space but in budget & simple way.
What is the different with capsule dorm?
You can put more luggage in box hostel and also no one will enter or have chance to take your belongings, just lock your room wherever you go and it's safe. But in the same point, box hostel will be more pricy than capsule one.
Basically under my bed is the neighborhood bed, very limit space ya.

| Tissue only available on public toilet, than I bring my own |

Also there is TV in bed area and reading light but due it's too dark that's unavailable to show you guys the photo. Basically the bed is quiet comfy and enough for 1 person.
Besides, the next thing you wanna see I believe is the public area. So here is the public toilet and shower area.
They separate shower area & toilet area. Shower room is quiet small and there is no hanger, only small basket to put on your belongings but the hot water is good enough.

| Closet is good enough |

And also there are big mirror with hairdryer in toilet area but there is too many people when I want to take picture.
And they have public area for chit chat.
So what I love about this place are :
- Easy transport and strategic location
- Clean and comfortable
- That luggage lift is a bomb in hostel
Also some point that need to consider :
- Very small shower and no hanger on it
- Limited space for single room
- No toothbrush :(
Overall it's such a beautiful experience for me, thank you Work Inn 101 !
