    The area was in low season so not many food choices. The main road is in front of the hostel so you have traffic sound.

    Very nice facility with great staff! It has a very comfortable common area with a wonderful breeze and view. The capsule room was bigger than most capsules and was quiet but needs a little more cooling. Very nice beach with beer and food on the beach. 🏖️🏖️.

    Nothing to complain about, except that the air condition was far too cold

    Great terrace with spectacular views and good to hang out. Beach across the street, 7-Eleven with tap beer next door. What more do you want?

    I didn’t like the pod experience, or the shared bathroom. The ladders were a bit uncomfortable to climb on and off.

    The location was very convenient. It’s right in front of the beach.

    Cool place to stay in a separate boot and enjoy the beach

    It was a bit away from Keitung and therefore it is not easy to move around in the area without renting a scooter or a car. - the region is really touristy and the prices in the nearby restaurants are higher than usual (expect to pay around 350 NTD per meal) - Sadly the top floor was not accessible, because it was damaged during the taifun the week before (obviously not the hostel's fault)

    Cool boots, that give you a lot of privacy + clean bathroom + nice staff + location is right at the beach + easy to find + the staff helped me to get to a place where I could rent a scooter. By the way: you need an A1 motorcycle driving license in your international driving licence to be able to rent a scooter. Without this, you can only rent an electric scooter with a maximum speed of 45 km/h. I drove one of those and it was fine, but it is definitely not the same. The scooter cost me 600 NTD for 24 h.

    The fans in the room are a bit noisy. The bed could be better

    First experience on a capsule hostel. Enjoyed it. The room is very small (capsule) but at the same time is very cosy

    I would have liked for them to offer breakfast. Also, while some of the staff were very friendly, others of the staff didn't appear as interested. The process of getting a towel was also a little bit inconvenient, as I had to keep asking the staff for one.

    Location is excellent, 10 minutes away from Kenting and right along the ocean. The common area is clean and bright, with ocean views and free drinks. The capsule-style rooms are very cozy and comfortable.

    They don't recycle even though the recycling pickup comes by with the garbage truck :( super sad and disappointing. No kitchen fyi just fridge and hot water.

    Excellent location for swimming. Great for the rest of the area if you have your own transport (scooter rental just a block down). No decent local food on the strip. Using bus is fine too but it doesn't come often (it is the countryside). Great rooms with own ventilated capsules and tv. Large enough to have room for you bag. Decent sound proofing for wall to wall. Staff are friendly and helpful.

    They can consider upgrading the mattresses. The floor becomes very hard 😊

    Perfect location, lovely rooftop, helpful and friendly staff. Such a comfortable space to relax in.
