Situated within 39 km of Zhongli Railway Station and 38 km of Jungli Night Market, 想巷背包客棧 features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Hsinchu City. This property is located a short distance from attractions such as East Gate. The property is non-smoking and is set 400 metres from Hsinchu City Glass Museum.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, some units at the hostel also feature a city view. All rooms have bed linen.

The host was very kind and quick to respond. The room, bed and the bathroom were very clean. I enjoyed my stay there. I also liked the lock system which is good for safety. A good place to stay in Hsinchu.

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.

    We always use this hotel. Great location, great staff, great air conditioning, just the property is a little tired is all. If they refreshed the property then they could probably triple the price point, but then I wouldn't be staying there anymore if they did that. If you want an expensive hotel then why stay in Hsinchu at all? Taipei has many more expensive hotels.

    Great location considering many nice foods nearby. Just to note that there is really limited power point, probably only 1 power point available in the room. Fortunately, they will loan you one extension cord if you need one.

    The location of this place is great. The concept of the hostel is unmet and truly great. Sadly it is very small. The bathrooms are tiny and as staff is hardly ever on side not continuously clean. I think it's a very good Hostel but too expensive for what are you getting - at least in comparison to other places in Taiwan. Would I still return? For sure! I just really liked the concept of the place. Just a warning: if you have a snorer in the room like I did, the wooden box-beds will make it sound even louder. Bring earplugs!

    Great location, close to Hisnchu train station, inside the downtown area. All the amenities were working. Have nothing to complain about the bathroom facilities. Bed was also comfortable and be sheets were clean.
