    Great cozy hostel with convenient location and great common facilities for travellers

    • Bunk Bed in Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Not much, everything met the expectations I had when booking!

    Only a ten minute walk away. from the train station, it is super convenient for people who sleep in Chiayi to go to Alishan or other neighbouring cities as you can easily get the buses leaving from the train station in the morning. We were only two people in my dormitory room, so it was very quiet, which was nice. The common area is very cute and comfortable, you get free coffee, tea and a few snacks. You have free access to the washing machine if you need to do laundry! Very easy to self check in and check out.

    The mattrass is quite thin, I think this could be improved to make sleeping a little bit more comfortable.

    Very swift communication through WhatsApp (as there is no reception). The hostel is very nice. Clean and the dorms are spacious enough. Really liked the fact that there was free laundry (plus free laundry detergent). Communal area and small kitchen were also great!

    The property was quite dusty in places. There was a frosted glass window in the bedroom so light comes through if the room next door has their light on.

    Lovely and relaxing common area downstairs. Great location. Free sweets.

    A previous tenant left her cosmetic cotton beside the clip lamp which the cleaner didn't cleared it

    The owner helped to put 4 of us into 1 room, as requested. The location is convenient to go to many good food shops and places of interest.

    There was no one in person for check in.

    The place was quiet and chill. Free laundry. Close to downtown. A short walk from the bus station and train station. Self check in, but quick reply on messenger if you had any questions. Everything was key punch activated.

    The only thing I didn’t like very much was the mattress… Not firm enough and kinda sink in, but that being said I still had a good enough sleep.

    Clean and quiet, fully equipped, not far from Chiayi station.

    The beds are a tiny bit on the hard side, but not too bad.

    This is exactly what you want from a hostel. It’s very clean and very quiet. I stayed twice, once on a weekend when the room was full and once on a weekday when I was the only person in the room. I really enjoyed the whole set up and felt very comfortable here.

    Nothing to complain about, it's a cheap hostel. Only negative point would be that it is not wheelchair friendly...

    Communication with Hostel was very straightforward and uncomplicated. Price is very good and amenities are plentiful. Clean roomes and sanitary bathroom.
