Property was fine

Very nice room just maybe a bit too remote but by the river

Stayed in March 2025

Its nothing to do with the Pop Inn and it was just bad luck I suppose but I didnt get much sleep as the first night a guest arrived in the room about midnight (lights on, unzipping of bags etc,) then another guest got up at 5 am to pack her case for an early departure. These things happen in hostels I suppose. The second night I had the room to myself but at 1.30 am a guest was using the hairdryer in the shower room for ages. (Despite signs saying to be quiet after 10pm) For some reason the doors to the shower rooms are kept open so you hear a lot of noise from them as they are just a few feet away from the three bedrooms on the floor I was on. I didnt see any cleaning being done. there was always hair on the floor in the shower room and the scrubbing sponge in the kitchen sink had seen better days.

PopInn has a very nice vibe about it with a comfortable communual area. Its used mainly by local people but I did meet an english speaking person my second night there. TJ on reception told me everything I needed to know including where I could get an evening meal not too far way. I didnt use the bikes that were available. Afterwards I had some treatment at a nearby massage shop. Beds are very comfortable and the duvet and linen are of good quality with a shelf and charging point and light. Roller blinds for each bunk bed provide privacy. There are large spacious lockers. Security is good at the Pop Inn as you need a security code to get in the front door and the dorm rooms are locked as well. I provided my own breakfast and used the toaster and Ikea crockery and cutlery. There were tea bags available to use but I couldnt work the coffee machine. Location next to the river was good and the surrounding area is pleasant to walk in. Its within walking distance of the AnPing Fort and the Limestone Museum. From there I got a bus to the pier for the Green Tunnel. I was able to get a bus from there back to the hostel. In the morning it was a short walk of a few blocks to the bus stop where I got a No14 to the train station.

It is far away from the city centre. The bathroom should have a hanger or some table, its so annoying you have to put your stuff on the floor...

Wifi is strong, bed is comfortable. Bathroom is fine. I slept well. Kitchen has very good coffee.

Stayed at a few hostels but main concern is the noise. Whatever noise your roommates make will be audible. You cant really avoid it. Personally wearing ear plugs make me uncomfortable but if you can wear it, then I highly recommend it. Again, its an awesome place to stay in. But noise is just unavoidable.

1. Clean rooms, bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were super clean, they provided nice smelling bath gel and shampoo, shower had strong pressure. 2. Location was close to most sites in Anping, and also close to city centre. Things were all near by. 3. Some of the famous restaurants were within walking distance. 4. Can do your laundry at a cheap price. 5. The staff were exceptional, they will help you in away way they can. 6. There is a nice place at the lobby for you to do your work.

Maybe some local maps showing the bus stops? Due to some traffic issues the #14 bus stop had moved.

The bed in the female only dorm had plenty of space and the bathrooms were great. I arrived early and I was able to have a coffee, leave my luggage and borrow a bike to cycle to the Green Tunnel. I also visited the fort, treehouse and Old Street. Staff were awesome.

The river is right outside, great for a morning run or an evening stroll! And there's a lovely cafe next door too.

The tv was difficult to use and we had to ask for help twice. The room was not cleaned for the 3 days we were there but they did empty the rubbish and gave us fresh towels when we asked for them.

The location with a view of the canal. Big room and very comfortable bed.

Good location in Anping, pretty and clean interior. Very helpful staff too!

My introduction to the property wasn’t super welcoming. It’s not majorly social but I think that’s also to do with the language barrier. Other than that really good!

Popinn was really greatly located in the Anping are and on the water. The property was exceptionally clean and the staff were super friendly. Would recommend but keep in mind it’s not a super social hostel.

Very good location, helpful staff

Nothing, everything was perfect.

The space per bed is huge, the bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is clean and the shelf in the shower is very useful. I really appreciate this hotel comparing to the others in Taiwan.

Thoughtfulness of Staffs Extra multiple miles of assistance in booking days and locker matters Space in the Reception Hall / Lobby / Kitchen Smooth Coffee Cleanliness of beddings Quietness of environment Spoiled of choice for eateries in surroundings Proximity to local attractions

The staff was super friendly and I felt very comfortable throughout my stay. The location of the Hostel is absolutely perfect, right next to the canal and most of Anpings attractions can be reached by foot in less than 40 min.

Very modern inside. Not crowded Next to river

Formidable atmosphere! People here are so kind and everyone is smiling when you come here. Beds, room, common area and washrooms were very clean.

Stayed in October 2023

The facilities were so new and well-equipped. There were two bathrooms in my floor(female only floor), equipped with enough shower rooms, toilets and other necessities. And they kept them so clean and comfy! !

The location is "in the middle" of the 2 areas of Tainan that are of most interest for visitors. Taking a bus in both directions is easy, but since I was personally a bit dissapointed by the Anping area, I think I would prefer staying more central in Tainan. Not sure if this value for money level can be found in more central Tainan.

In our 2 week trip in Taiwan, this was by far the best value for money we got from a hotel/hostel. Nice spaceous room, kingsize bed and also a perfect bathroom with a good shower. The staff was very welcoming, helpfull and had a good command of English. Next to a variety of local eateries at walking distance, the pizza restaurant next door also did a great job. There is also a nice common space to socialize if that's your thing. This hostel I can only recommended highly.

Not at all.

The environment is very clean and comfortable even though it just stayed for 2 nights. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Location wise, it is surrounded by many shops and restaurants. I will definitely come back again if I'm in Anping.

The door nob of the room is a bit loose maybe due to cheap quality, but nothing major.

The whole place is very clean, room spacious, great location. Good value for money. Will definitely stay here again next time.
