Was just amazing. Location is superb first, very close to city’s Shennong street so as other shops and temples. Most staff are also living there and even though they speak little English, try to treat you warmly w/ heart. Both my room and common places were all clean and well organised. Offering free snack, tea and coffee was just fantastic. Shower and toilet all worked well. The bed was pretty comfy, AC was powerful and having its own outlets, lights and curtains was great. But the best thing was 3 cute cats living in the hostel I’d say. My personal favorite was a white Persian cat. She was incredibly cute and adorable haha.

Absolutely the best and most thoughtful hostel I've stayed in from my years of visiting Taiwan! The owner knows what backpackers need, especially towards those who don't understand Mandarin. All the signs and notices are in English. Cute little cards in bilingual about different popular destinations in Tainan, making transportation for foreigners in Taiwan a tad bit easier. Very thoughtful! There are also free activities each night, and I had so much fun learning how to roast your own coffee beans and also make some friends along the way. The owner would also provide lots of good tips and suggestions for visiting Tainan, so don't miss out on the 1st night like I did. Location, location, location. Can't get better location than right next to train station. And it is very funny that the entrance is inside a convenient store, watching shoppers wondering about this mysteries orange door of hostel gave me quite a chuckle. IONIC HAIR DRYER IS A GOD SEND!! My messy short hair can finally have 2 good days during my trip lol. Free washing machine with detergent provided, and NTD$50 for dryer. Shampoo and shower gel are also provided. Fridge, coffee machines, free tea bags, free simple breakfast. I feel like got way more than I paid for. Bunk bed with curtains, personal lockers , lockable dorm room, separate bathroom for ladies and gents. Earplugs, toothbrush and towel for NTD$20 if needed. 10 out of 10 would stay here again next time I visit Tainan!

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.

    Best hostel during my 16-day trip Taiwan. The owner snd the staff were kind and friendly, accepted me with great hospitality. They were flexible regarding leaving the luggage before check-in and after check-out. It’s a super clean place, everything looks brand new. Good location, close to the stations and easy to reach An Ping. It was a perfect choice.

    Very friendly and modern hostel with a cozy, homely vibe to it. The common area and kitchen are quite spacious, great to hang out and meet new people. At checkin you get a map of local attractions, restaurants and night markets. One of the best places I've stayed in Taiwan. Would recommend to anyone.

    The location was conveniently within reasonable walking distance to many of the main attractions in Tainan. The host was also very courteous and took extra time to provide information to alot of the local tourist locations. The hostel was indeed very quiet, the rooms are well sound proofed. The washrooms are very clean and well maintained and the host also was kind enough to provide a bowl of local fruits upon my arrival. For the price I booked it for, this really can't be beat.
