I love everything at Cao Ji Book Inn Hostel. The first impression is the entrance of the hostel it decorated by a bookshelf in hallway. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I met staff who has a limited English speaking but it was not a problem at all. She was shown me around the hostel and answered my question about the route bus to Anping from the hostel. The bed is comfy and sharing space always clean. The location is great. You can walk to museum, the confusion temple and old shopping street in 5-10 mins. There was Ubike station which is nearby the hostel. Please do not forget to grab Ubike to biking around Tainan. Hostel also provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion and hair dryer at sharing bathroom. But you need to bring toothbrush and toothpaste by yourself. I definitely to stay here again if I back to Tainan.

The girls of the staff were super! I had a problem with a noise in the toilet air conditioning, but they solved it immediately! I boooked a private room for two nights and it was really comfortable! Next time I’m Tainan I’ll be there again!

They were very friendly and accommodating. The room was great, plenty of room and it was quiet. Ideal as well, since it’s close to the shuttle bus going to the train station.

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.

First of all, the location was amazing, super close to the train station and various nice places in the city are also within walking distance. The interior of the common area is soooo pretty and cozy, and I appreciated that there was a lot of locker space in the dorm rooms.

All hostels in 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.
