I just didn’t really like Taichung as a city so nothing wrong with the hostel itself :)

Nice view, there is a small shopping center on the first floors. It was clean and quiet and the breakfast was good too!

I stayed with Star Hostel Taipei Main Station and Star Hostel Taipei East. Star Hostel Taitung Parklane is the only one who did not offer a free rental towel.

The hostel is very clean and comfortable. Lovely view. Good breakfast included. All staff are friendly and polite. Except one or two at the front desk are not approachable and reluctant to answer questions.

Loved it! Great view of the city and a beautiful communal space

I’m really just nitpicking here but the amount of scrambled eggs in the breakfast was very little, but again, barely a problem just the only very minor detail that i didn’t appreciate.

Honestly it’s pretty crazy how clean and organized everything is considering the fact that this is a hostel. The entire place was well maintained, comfortable, and spotless, even cleaner than most hotels, amazing. Also, the common space is great

Expensive for private room

Great location. Good facilities. Good price. Great breakfast

Stayed in April 2024

Everything should pay, like towel. And quite expensive dor solo traveller but i think its because of their facilities.

Its really clean and location was great. The bfast was so good and the design of every room was excellent. They even have hair straightner! Shockingly the bedcover was really soft and fluffy.

Very good location. Love the entire vibe and concept of the hotel.

Just my preference, but lockers were in a separate area from the bedroom, making it slightly inconvenient when you want to pack or take things from your bags. However, it reduces disturbance to other roommates when you're packing things which is a plus point too.

The common area of the hostel is cozy and comfortable for chilling out. Rooms and toilets were clean. There is a different breakfast every day of the week. I really enjoyed the vibe of the hostel, would stay here again if I visit Taichung.

It has zero social atmosphere but in saying that would 100% stay there again as a good night sleep and location trump over anything

Location - view is amazing ! Wifi - even goes to room Bathrooms - super clean and lots of bench space security - loved the lockers outside the room so the dorm was so quiet Comfortable bed and pillow

The Hostel is on the 14th/15th floor so you have a good view over Taichung from the commen area. The staff was really helpfull and friendly. Also the Breakfast was good ans fresh made. The Doorms are really big and the beds are really comfortable. I would definitley come come back.

Every detail about this place was so curated and lovely. The facilities were clean and modern, and the common area was absolutely stunning and filled with comfy chairs and a beautiful view of the city. I was expecting free breakfast to be basic continental breakfast, but a chef cooks crafts your meal live and it felt like a 5-star experience. The location was right in the middle of everything with so much to do. The rooms were dead silent and perfect for sleeping.

Very pretty hostel, with a nice hangout space! Conveniently located above a shopping centre too

Stayed in February 2024

Location is convenient. There is many shops and restaurants nearby and there is eslite bookstore and shops downstairs. The common area and breakfast are exceptionally beyond my expectation.

Would have been nice to have a small towel for wiping hands. The elevator is shared with the parking garage and department store and can take a while.

Convenient location, clean room, nice views, friendly staff.

Great Breakfast , Incredible view for sunset , Near good restaurants and great 24 hour foot massage within a 10 min walk.

Would be great to have a hot water dispenser instead of waiting to boil hot water

Unexpectably spacious, clean and stylish, super value stay indeed. Very nice breakfast and common area in particular

Stayed in January 2024

A challenge to access to the hostel by the elevator during peak hours especially in holidays as it’s always full for those to car parking floors.

Fabulous view in common area. Excellent location for transport, food and shopping. Staff are very friendly and helpful. A variety of breakfast for each day although it’s simple.

Location is wonderful

There is a designated space with an extra railing in the storage area just outside the dorm for hanging & drying wet towels etc with a dryer/ dehumidifier placed underneath (again, a great idea!) My only complaint is that some ppl were doing what seemed like their weekly laundry and hanging it on the other 3 railings designated for storage in the room. As a result others weren't able to hang their "bulky" items such as winter jackets/coats because they would just get damp from hanging next to wet clothes. It also made the room feel a little damp.

This is my second time staying here. Again, I had an amazing experience. Stayed in an all female dorm this time. The bed was comfy, the bedsheets/pillows clean and smelling nicely, and a big fluffy duvet to go with that. A thick black out curtain offers a lot of privacy. The room was spotless. The storage area for your belongings just outside the dorm was great. Big lockers & very secure (open with your room card, so no need to carry your own lock). Extra railings available in addition to the lockers for coats, shoes etc. Toilets, showers kept spotless. A lot of little touches like a hair straightener available in the bathroom and small toiletries (ie cotton pads). Breakfast was great and the hostel caters for vegetarians. Their tea/coffee facilities & little kitchen corner are handy. At this time of the year, they even had hot chocolate available! The common spaces are kept clean. Many options, whether you want to hang out with others or do a little work. Check in and out very smooth. Staff were lovely. Be prepared to wait a little for the lift as it is shared with everyone else in the building. And I suppose it was extra busy given that it was Christmas... But it's no big deal really! Definitely will stay again.... and again...

This is unrelated to the hostel itself. The transportation system in Taichung, particularly the buses, is not the most reliable. While the hostel provided accurate instructions, it failed to mention the bus timings or their availability. Perhaps in the future, they could recommend guests to download the Taiwan bus app – Bus+. While I understand that checking bus availability is not within their purview, I had to wait for bus 365 for nearly an hour only to discover that it was out of service.

It's just perfect for a solo traveller. Everything was seamless and stress free. I've stayed in a 8-bed dorm and it was spacious for a hostel. The beds and lockers were positioned separately, so there's no need to worry about disturbing others when packing. The place is very well designed, you can see the considerations with the little details made to the space.
