Gay Hostel Closes in Taipei But Others Available

[PeterRS]

Gs Guy Hostel in Taipei sadly closed quite recently. It had single rooms in addition to various types of dorm rooms, open showers and a sort of suggestion that walking around naked was encouraged. Annoyingly agoda still adertises it on its list of hotels. When you try to make a booking it quotes "Just Missed It", which is probably true but actually misleading.

But there are other hostels which are either gay or have gay floors. Just be careful when using websites. Nomadic Boys allegedly lists the ten most popular gay hotels. All, apart from Gs Guy which is closed, are regular hotels that have absolutely nothing to do with gay men! It's a total rip off.

One popular gay hostel seems to be Miniinn close to the main station. Three of the floors are allegedly dedicated for gay guests. It has become so popular, one website states it will only take reservations two months in advance which I think is probably nonsense. But at around NT$770 (US$25) per night, it's a steal for younger travellers.
