Excellent location next to Formosa boulevard station and Luihe night market.The room was very large, clean, bright, comfy and nicely decorated, with a sofa, a fridge, a kettle, towels and aircon. I did not use the common area. There is free tea and coffee. Receptionists are present 24/7 and all spoke English better than most people. I would stay there again. Excellent value for money.

All hostels in Kaohsiung

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and relatively cheap, less than 5 mins walk from the Sanduo Shopping District train station and pretty central to most places in Kaohsiung. The common area is pretty good, there’s tea and coffee provided and places for people to sit and eat or relax. There’s also a good sheltered laundry area on the top floor where you can hand wash and dry your clothes.
