There wasn’t much atmosphere, but could have been the time of year.

Fantastic pod style beds that are private and clean. Located right across from the station so very convenient if getting the bus / train.

Little space for backpacks in the rooms, impolite and unhelpful staff with automated and error prone checkin process

Very central and rooms very new and spacious

Stayed in December 2024

We checked in after 10pm. As there was no front desk and hostel didn’t provide any towel as well as travel adapter. We had to make do with whatever we have which can be a little challenging when traveling with a child. Room is also very small. We hardly have space to walk about in family suite. Cleanliness is 4/10

Location

While at first glance the aesthetic and modern look may draw you in, don't be fooled. There are a lot design issues that left me scratching my head. First of all, the downstairs lounge is technically a café, and they will not let you sit on the most uncomfortable seats ever unless you buy something from them. I have never encountered a hostel that won't let you relax in their lounge prior to check-in. Secondly, in my private room, the couch was rock hard, and the bed in the loft area was boiling hot, as the air conditioner doesn't reach up top. There are also plumbing pipes with visible mold running across the walls. The bathroom is poorly designed too, with cramped toilets despite there being ample unused room in the stalls, one of the showers was out of service, and there was BLACK MOLD covering the ceilings. The kitchen and upstairs lounge was again, dreadfully uncomfortable with only hard seating, and the kitchen was barely stocked with necessarities. No sharp knives, cutting board, or really anything else you might need to cook for yourself. They also charge for every little extra thing like towels.

This hostel is conveniently located a few minutes away from the main train station in Chiayi, and some shopping streets including grocery and convenience stores.

My room is located at the same floor as the kitchen and lounge, which makes me easily to hear the sounds from there. Strongly suggested to have earplugs in bed to avoid being awakened in the morning during breakfast time. Or maybe the hostel can consider to always close the door of the kitchen when it’s breakfast time.

Great location, near the train station.

The double room is really small. Never had such a small room. The bed sheets had stains on them.

Its cosy and the kitchen is nice.

Stayed in December 2023

The walls are very thin, so without earplugs it was not possible to sleep (you hear people shower, walk, talk…). Also they told us the breakfast was included but we only discovered a bag of toast and and 3 little pots of Jam… the rooms are small (with all the comfort so that’s nice) and a bit humid if you don’t leave the airco on all the time (which makes a bit of noise)

Good location close to the main train station Cosy hostel

Can’t store luggage before 9am because there is no staff available at that hour. (pretty pointless since alishan train departs at 9am…) Bathroom and shower are a bit small and in very close to each other. The bed position in the room is awkward. The room is hot so you have to turn the AC on, but the flow will not reach the bed and you will still feel hot, but with the additional noise of the AC

Good position, high security standards, smooth aelwctronic late check in

I couldn't tell why, but I found the atmosphere less warm than in other hostels I have stayed at, perhaps partly because the place is staffed only at certain times. Or maybe I was just unlucky that day (or I was simply tired that day and it's entirely my fault...). I slept on an upper bed. The separations were mere OSB panels that didn't reach the ceiling. As a result, soundproofing and intimacy weren't very good. I happened to sleep next to a loud snorer and even my earplugs were useless. I had the feeling the OSB panels actually amplified the vibrations... I am aware that you can't expect complete intimacy in a youth hostel, but I have slept at places with better soundproofing. It may be better on lower beds (OSB panels reach the upper beds), and also probably in women only dorms (less snorers...).

Great location, a 5-minute walk from the train station and not far from the night market. Very clean and well-equiped bathroom. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Very nice coffee shop on the ground floor. Safe : all doors fitted with keypad locks. Wide beds.

Room was very small and hot. We couldn’t change the temperature of the air conditioner.

It was cheap and clean. The facilities were good.

There is no-one present at the hostel which is a serious pain. For instance I wanted to leave my luggage at 8:45 am and pick it up around 5:30pm, but it is not possible as nobody is there. A guy in the chat ensured me I could leave it at the train in a locker, which turned out to be not possible as... There is no lockers. That's a pity because otherwise the hostel is a very nice place to stay.

Very good value for money Clean quite and comfortable Free laundry Well located next to the station and not far from night market

Check in after hours is tedious as no human staff is around to process late check in and early check out. No online payment or paypal. Should just allow payment through booking. Com
