    Amazing staff, friendly and welcoming. Everything was really clean and quiet. The location is ideal to visit attractions around the city center.

    A pleasant stay in a cute homestay tucked away in a alleyway

    The toilet is on the first floor and the shower’s on the second. A bit inconvenient but it’s ok

    The host is very nice and the dog is adorable. The property is clean and the location is perfect. I also liked that it was in a small alleyway; I almost felt like a local.

    After checking out the hotel staff didn't want me to stay in the common area... never had this issue before with any accommodation, so I felt a little bit unwelcome.

    Loved the hostel overall! Very clean and cozy! As a female solo traveler I felt very safe and comfortable. All necessities were available. It was worth the money and I would come again! :)

    Tainan Guest House is a nice hidden hostel very near to the old center and the most attractions. The staff is very kind and helpful. In the shared living room and kitchen you can rest by a cup of tea or coffee offered by the guest house.

    Bring ear plugs and eye mask
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Thin walls: I could hear the other guests showering, using hair dryer, and doing laundry well past 1 am. Thin curtains: the room wasn't dark enough to sleep in. Someone in the room across the hallway left their door open with lights on. And the light shined into my room, well past 1 am. Hard pillows: they looked nice, but they were impossible to sleep on and gave me a neck pain.

    Location: charming and quiet alley in a nice area. The room was cozy and cute, just like the rest of the hotel. It's a pity that my experience was ruined by the inconsideration of some other guests.

    Having a little more storage space for personal belongings in the shared rooms would have been nice. The only cupboard was next to my bunk bed mate’s head, and I didn’t want to disturb them when I needed to access my things.

    Super cozy, clean, and wonderful location! The owner was very kind and communicative.

    Cute quirky hostel run by Japanese staff in a peaceful backstreet. Make sure you follow the instructions they give you on the photo to get there, because the backstreets are quite windy, but it meant the house was super quiet. The hostel had an interesting layout with bathrooms and common area on the bottom floor, dorm room on the middle and showers on the top floor and mini lockers were provided for valuables (only big enough for phone, passport, too small for laptop). The owner was a little curt but the other staff was lovely, we mostly spoke in mandarin, but they did speak some English too. Location is great, not far from the train station or the main attractions of West Central District. Everywhere was very clean and the dorm bed I had was exceedingly comfortable; I would happily stay again.

    Nothing! 没有

    Located in a super authentic part of Tainan, Hamuya is just a few blocks away from the main train station. The hosts are so nice and funny, providing me with a warm welcome. They contribute to an awesome atmosphere of travelers from all over. Their dog is also a sweetheart. The beds are comfortable and everything is very clean! I will definitely stay again when I am back in Tainan.

    Very steep staircase so got to be extra mindful when going up and down for the restrooms/shower rooms.

    Not easy to find as they have communicated but once you find it with their provided map, it is pretty easy to locate later on despite a winding path.

    Typical hostel experience

    I had to pay extra for the laundry. Very low pressure in showerhead, it was hard to use it. Amenities functional and clean, but not the newest. Location was hard to find at first, because it was very hidden and signs directing the way were easy to miss. Required going through narrow alleys - it was safe but still felt scary for a woman travelling solo.

    A very standard hostel experience. Doing laundry was easy and there was special area where i could hang it - very helpful. Great location. Access to common kitchen, fridge and place to refill water bottle.
