I payed around almost 1000NTD. If I was traveling as with another person we would have payed 1200NTD for the room (afaik). I hesitated booking the room, since it is kind of expensive for a backpacker like me who also didn't eat breakfast there (I had to leave too early). I think the property should think about providing an option without breakfast or renting the room as a dormitory room where each bed can be booked individually under the week for 600NTD or sth so that the property can more money while more people can stay around Alishan for lower price.

Couldn’t find the place easily. Luckily friendly Taiwanese helped us.

Location perfect as it was adjacent to the start of the lower old st shops. Very quaint

Rooms with shared bathroom absolutely not good value for money. Paper-thin walls, hard to get some sleep.

I highly suggest people to thoroughly read the reviews. I read the reviews and was mentally prepared that the facilities would not be the most up-to-date and clean, but felt that it was sufficient for a one night stay. Specifically, the bathrooms are not clean but they provide you with everything you need. This is definitely more of a homestay experience and not a hotel experience. Set your expectations accordingly before booking!

Loved the location! It's in a more private and quiet area of Fenqihu but still very close to the busy parts of the town. I also loved the bedroom which was very comfortable and cozy. I also liked that there's a hot water boiler in the common room so you can help yourself to hot water (just make sure the machine is finished boiling the water - there will be a green light).

The bathroom is not attached. Need to share with other clients. Cleanliness needs to be improved. Unpleasant odor is detected. Room without any mirror.

We arrived late after 8.30pm. Not able to say much. We managed to walk in the morning to the next bigger town to get 7 eleven convenient shop for breakfast

Bathroom dirty and not cared and no hot water as I showered, staff there not speaking english..

The whole town has some sewage smell issues so the bathroom smell is not super pleasent. It's recommended to keep the bathroom door closed and open the window in the bathroom- if possible also keep the dehumidifier in bathroom. Also, on site water dispenser only has very hot water and hot water so bring bottles to cool your water. Bring ear plugs for there's a dog at night that tends to bark very loud and wake you up if you're a light sleeper. I got ear plugs from the 7/11 and I slept well each day aside from the first.

I loved the Old Street. It was such a great place to live by and super convenient to have our room there since many places on the Old Street don't have bathrooms. The room itself including the bed was good and the balcony was beautiful! The owner is extremely kind and if you want to cook there's a kitchen area to cook. The owner also sold some snacks and veggies which we appreciated. Weather in the summer was perfect and mountain view is beautiful. We enjoyed the TV in the room as well. Location is definetely the best asset of this stay. Great place if you want to spend a lot of time doing Touristy things in Fenqihu, Alishan (45-50 minute drive without traffic), Meishan/ Taiping Area (20-40 minute drive depending where you go).

The room and bathroom were not cleaned properly. Bathroom equipment was very low-level and water temperature was quite low. The mattress was super thin and not well cushioned.

Perfect location if you want to stay in Fenqihu, directly next to the lower old street. Staff was very kind, although only the owner speaks English. I felt like it is one of the more affordable options in the Alishan area, as it is very popular around there and not too many accommodations. However it is not cheap in my opinion.

Pretty basic room and facilities.

The hostess was lovely. She made us soup one night and gave excellent recommendations for our time here.

You get what you pay for, a quite poor room with no windows Toilet was not very nice either

Cheapest place around the area Nice friendly staff Nice location a few minutes walk from the historic Street

I am not the person that complains when I find 1 hair on a bed, but it looked like these bedsheets were not washed at all. Also the bathrooms were dirty and the beds were painful because the bottom was sagged.

Nice and welcoming people. Checking in early was no problem. They provided new water when necessary.

Stayed in February 2025

The kitchen was very dirty. Many coacroachs were there. The bathroom of the dorm was terrible.

Actually, don't compare this place with a city. The hostel is situated in the far remote area village. The location is exactly the opposite of the Police station and around 800 meters downhill. There is only one 7-11 situated at the uphill. I recommend not booking a dormitory.The single room is okay for a short stay only.

Stayed in January 2025

Basically everything. Very dirty room, not provided with enough tissues, room was cold without AC. No hot water on last day there and the entire property is on a hill, so getting there is tiring.

Location was quiet. They allowed us to check in early after a phone call (Chinese only)

The rooms were horribly poor in all the facilities. No air conditioning was there even though the website description said that the rooms have air conditioning. There was no normal drinking water supply, there was no water filler machine as well that could provide the normal cold drinking water, only hot water was available. For our room type, it was more than 1000 NTD per night but the facilities were very poor. There was a shared bathroom and a toilet that were tremendously unclean and unhygienic, not maintained at all making them totally unpresentable to the guests. But the thing is there were no photos of that area available on the website that worked as a trick for them. Our main door was not locking as well, giving us no privacy.

The only positive things about the property were the location and the small terrace.

Stayed in April 2024

The bed was very comfortable. The location was great. The roof patio was very nice to relax.

- Toilet was very small, layout of the toilet was bad. Couldn’t tell the toilet was small from the photos. Requested to change to another room but it wasn’t any much better - Stench of the toilet drainage was extremely bad, terrible air ventilation. If you leave the bathroom door open, the stench can fill the room - tap was mouldy. Didn’t dare to use the water from the tap - even though it was stated 350m away from the train station, it wasn’t friendly as the journey to the accommodation was filled with lots of steep slopes. We struggled to push the luggages up and down the slopes. - bedsheet was a bit dirty, got a bit of stains - corridor was full of spider webs and spiders - mosquitoes were found in the room - can hear the opening and closing of doors and other noises from other units - toilet has no lock, sliding door concept - need to draw the curtains for the main door (sliding). If the light in the room is on without drawing the curtains, anyone who walks past can see you inside - stairs up to the rooms were steep and narrow, no lift

Staff was polite and professional. Tv has many channels

Stayed in December 2023

The bathroom sadly smells of sewage so I recommend to close the window and door.

Nice place, nice boss and staff, overall very happy! While not too far from Fencihu old street but there are lots of slopes so if you have heavy luggage like me then it’s a little mission.

If you are really large the bed can be to short and it is not the newest and cleanest location we stayed.

It was really good to have a place to stay near the mountain for a good price befreundet hiking up yushan. The owner were really really nice and even send me my lost stuff back to a friends house in Taiwan :)

I had planned to stay two days and hike around Fenqihu .. what I didn’t realize was this is a homestead . There was a small community of 4-5 really nice older people living there that cooked and made me feel so at home . I got so much more than I planned for in the best way . One of the women showed me the coolest hiking trails in the mountains near Fenqihu that I never would have found through a google search . Absolutely amazing . I came from America to go deep into the center of Taiwan . I thought it would be an experience where I was on my own , but there was so much shared with me at this hostel . A real cultural exchange , and friendships I’ll remember forever .

No shower stall so after taking the shower the floor of the whole bathroom is wet. Make sure to ask for a heater. I thought it's in the room and when i realised it wasn't, it was pretty late and the manager could no longer be reached. The cold gets pretty cold without the heater.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and had quality duvet and linen in it. Good shower gel and shampoo provided. The room has a mountain view.

Beautiful location. The staff was very kind and Kate even offered to drive me super early in the morning to see the Alishan sunrise! My time in Taiwan will be unforgettable because of the kindness and hospitality of the people at this property!

Stayed in February 2023

It didn't bother me, but the bedrooms are right next to the hosts home/living room. So if you like to sleep really early then it's not a good choice for you.

The bed were so comfy! And it's an easy 5 minute walk to the old street, but a quiet spot. The hosts were so nice! They gave me home-grown fruit when I left.
