Thanks for the review - just two quick comments:

I actually wouldn't rank the W breakfast buffet as even one of the most extravagant in
Taipei.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard a visitor call Taipei "expensive".
re: hostels, Taipei is obviously no Bangkok, but you can find plenty of hostels in the city (including ones right by Taipei Main Station) that don't even charge $200/
week for single rooms. Of course, given how cheap hotel rooms are in Taipei, I'd agree that hostels are a bad deal regardless.
