    Homely hostel in a quiet town, perfect as a base to explore the rice fields

    Location is a bit out of the Main Street, it takes 10-12 min walk from the train station. Bed mattress is thin and doesn’t offer much support.

    Homely and cozy hostel with a nice common area at the entrance to watch tv/read a book/play with the cat. The dorm room is large enough not to feel cramped. Toilets and showers are very clean. Staff is helpful, speaks good English and gives local recommendations.

    The hostel is located to one of the bigger roads of the small town where some noisy traffic is passing by and our room in the 3rd floor was facing the road. If you are sensitive to noise this could be a little annoying.

    Super nice and caring host, big comfortable room, big comfortable bed.

    Location is near the train station but not much options available when it comes to accommodation. So this is the only option that I have. Overall still a good choice.

    No place to rest beside from your bed (commum area so small it's almost like there isn't one, not practical to eat or whatever)

    It was a bit far from the train station. If you’ve got heavy luggage, give it a second thought. Otherwise just stay here when you are in Chishang.

    The beds were handmade by the boss, which was a fact I knew when the hostess gave me a room tour. I loved how proud the hostess was of her husband. The atmosphere of the hostel was extremely friendly because some old customers kept coming back to gather.

    It's a bit of a walk from the station - we were visiting in super hot summer and arrived at the hottest point in the day which is the only reason this was noticeable, in a cooler time of year it would just be a nice stroll.

    Great value stay with a very friendly welcome. The private room is a really big space and set up well. Discount on bike rental was a nice addition. Nice relaxing stay.

    Given this is a house-turned-hostel, those of bigger stature may find the facilities (shower and toilet) on smaller end. Cat may only approach if there’s chicken involved.

    Ideal location right beside bike trail entrance. Hosts live on top floor — friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring a great stay. Cute cat.

    This homestay is perfect. Sasa the owner is so nice, friendly and helpful. The room is very clean, same with the toilets and showers. The toilets had a bidet. The beds are comfortable. It’s close to the station, has a 7-11 nearby. The girls i shared the room with were so respectful.

    Not much that I remember. I wish there had been a shared kitchen, maybe.

    Lovely cats, and great atmosphere! One of the kind owners gave me some muscle cream after a day of cycling, was very grateful. The rooms were clean, amenities were all right and like that they have you donate to a charity for earplugs or other little extras. Overall, very pleased with this last minute booking.
