Hi peeps, already book tickets to Taiwan.Looking for budget trip
Now was wondering whether to stay in hotel or hostel. 4 of us guys and girls.
I was browsing through the web and i see hostel also rm50-60 each for private room space. I see cheap hotel also rm 200+. I was thinking might as well stay in hotel. So there is two q now regarding hotel.
1. Is Taiwan like Singapore. I book a room for twin sharing in a hotel (2 single bed) means only two person? Or i can have 4 person camp in a room and they wont care.
2. If they dont mind. Which hotel have you guys stayed where they have those bed where there is two layers and you can take the top mattress down and the bottom is still a bit soft and still can sleep (Hope you guys know what i mean, like the beds in genting)

Thx. More q to come later. Is it safe to lug a DSLR around taiwan. Whole of Taiwan
