    Nice place, but the private room is part of the dorm
    • Leisure trip

    • Single Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Location, staff, amenities, cleanliness, everything was spot on. The only thing I didn't like is that the private room was in the dorm, with a ventillation window open to the common area and only a thin board separating it from two beds. It meant that while I had my private space (fairly big), it was just as noisy as if I stayed in the dorm.

    I NEVER take taxis so it was a little far of a walk from Taichung Main station. But, that's the only complaint. : ) Oh also, the kitchen has some unusual signs for a hostel "Don't touch"

    The front desk girl was friendly. I can only suggest she improve her English more. Unfortunately for her ... my Chinese sucks.

    Only one woman’s toilet.

    It’s a big room with many bunk beds but you can’t feel it’s many people. Every bed has its own privacy.

    location even though its close to the night markets, it was a 50min bus ride to the tainan high speed rail. just be prepared to travel a long way to this hotel from there. otherwise , once you get there, you have 2-3 night market choices to go too!

    super clean. has an elevator for those who have a suitcase(very helpful). nice views at night time. very quiet place to stay. the place was spacious and lots of space for luggage

    Overall, I still had a good rest at the hotel. The whole night was quiet and safer than I expected.

    It's ok that I have to take the elevator to go to the lobby at 7F, but the elevator was full of the smell of smoke, and the elevator was not that obvious to find on the ground floor. The room is located at 8F. I took the stairs from 7F lobby to my room, and there is no door inbetween which made me kinda worried if any strangers could break into hotel's premise even though there is a security camera around.

    Though it's weird that the lobby is at 7F, the room itself is not bad. I have enough space in the supreme single room with double bed where I have some space to stretch, and the bed is quite comfy too.

    Most of the kitchen appliances could only be used by the staff, which limits the possibility to cook/warm your own food. Breakfast options seemed really reduced, although there was plenty of whatever was offered.

    Well located, quiet environment. The lounge area was not big, but there was enough space to eat or do other stuff.

    There was nothing that disappointed me. The location is perfect. Though it's near a street, it's easy to reach from wherever and you're at the station in no time

    Breakfast was pretty good. I especially liked that they provided good bread and replenished it as soon as it ran out, and there was ample coffee~ The capsulehotel part was very clean and comfortable, bigger than I expected, with a roll-down curtain to close it off, a reading light and two sockets on a shelf near your pillow. There is a light in the room that stayed on all night, but due to the curtain and the layout of the capsules (and probably the exhaustion) it didn't bother me at all.

    Showers were too small, as in there was no space to keep your clothes and a towel and change that was at least distant from the shower head. Staff was often not present at the front desk. Location was poor, distant from most local food places as for walking travelers

    It was clean, staff were reasonably nice.

    Shower would make the whole space wet due to inefficient shower screen. My room wasn’t cleaned in between nights and the frontdesk employees are not available the whole day and barely speak any English.

    Simple but efficient rooms. Hotel is located in between most common neighbourhoods of Taichung next to the main road Taichung Boulevard.

    Fire alarm starts, we ran through the fire escape, and there was no light, I stepped on piles and piles of cigarette butts, by the time I ran to the 3rd floor, the escape had pile of furnitures/mattress, I almost fell down the stairs, the hostel is on 7th floor, though the fire alarm turned out to be false, but what will happen when there is a real emergency? The hostel and its building have not meet the overall the basic escape rout a hotel business should have, this place is dangerous. Also, I was only who have figured out where the fire escape is located, everyone else didn't even know where its located, so some went down with en elevator, because the main stair way was closed off on 6 floor!
