About Us
The Meander Hostel brand was established in Taiwan in 2013, when there were only a handful of licensed hostels in Taipei. Since then, it has redefined the hostel landscape by balancing fair pricing with modern and clean design, sociable atmosphere, and unbeatable locations.
Both Meander Taipei Hostel and Meander 1948 share the same values. Our emphasis on stylish and comfortable design is a breakthrough from the past generation of squeaky metal bunk beds. In addition, we take an active role in organizing events and local excursions to facilitate mingling amongst our guests. Through personal interactions, our friendly and knowledgeable staff strive to be your first friend in Taiwan. Furthermore, our award-winning properties are located in prime city centers with significant historical context. Regardless of whether you are traveling solo, or with friends and families, our diverse room types will cater to your needs. We invite all travellers to experience Meander and discover a new way of travelling.

A long time ago, I had a chance to stay at Meander for a month, and I really like the good vibe of the people here. Now, I have become one of them, transforming from guest to staff. Although I’m new here, I appreciate every chance a guest shares his/her travel story with me. It’s like a big family here. You are welcome to join us!

Seeing and getting to know new friends from all over the world, being surrounded by a group of people who are more like family and friends versus just colleagues- if these are what you look for, well, I guess Meander would be your first option!
