Set in Tainan, 500 metres from Tainan Confucius Temple, 清淨背包客棧-民權館Quiet Hostel - Minquan Inn features air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. The property is situated less than 1 km from Chihkan Tower, 34 km from Neimen Zihjhu Temple and 40 km from Cishan Old Street. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Great location and easy to find. The place was squeaky clean and paid a great deal of attention to hygiene. The mirrors were always clean(ed), you can't wear shoes inside (you remove them in the lobby area and put them in a locker). The host is incredibly friendly and a lovely person all around. And last but not least - the price. It's a steal!

This is my second time staying at this hostel and was the reason that I came to Tainan for. The hostel is exceptional compared to all other ones I have stayed in. There are books all over the building, incorporated with traditional Taiwanese style building. Two stays, four years apart, still my favourite hostel.

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.

    This hotel was my favorite of all my trip to Taiwan. It was the first time I visited a hostel, and for a first time, it was really great. The staff, decor, cleanliness, service and supplies were impeccable. A great location. Right outside the hotel bike stations for explore the town. I am 1m90 and my biggest concern was space. Often, in hostels, space is limited. The fear of not being comfortable, but the surprise of finding that the space is large and comfortable. A 10/10 !!!!

    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.
