It is in a great location, close to the station, with a clean bed (the mattress was small, but it fit me nicely), room and bathroom, and it comes with a bar. There is a free cocktail for those who staying. They used a QR code to get into the hostel and room, which was new to me and interesting. It is close to food places. The owners were lovely and helpful. I just loved the vibe of the Kaoh Siung port city. I would definitely stay here again!

Nothing but good things to say about Flyinn Hostel! First off, it is very conveniently located, right across the MRT. There are convenience stores nearby. Staff are pleasant and accommodating, even offered me a free room upgrade. The rooms are clean and esthetically pleasing. I can definitely attest to its high quality soundproofing. I was here during Typhoon Krathon and the room was quiet despite the 100kph howling winds outside, which I only heard in the shared bathroom. They provide you with keycard lockers, and I appreciated the hangers and shower caddy with toothbrush and toothpaste. The shared bathroom is one of the cleanest I have experienced in nearly 50 hostels worldwide. There is enough space in the showers to hang/place toiletries and clothes, and there are more than enough toilets and showers such that it never feels full. Each toilet also has a bidet and lots of toilet paper plus a spray. All in all, it was a great place to stay and I would definitely come back here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location and relatively cheap, less than 5 mins walk from the Sanduo Shopping District train station and pretty central to most places in Kaohsiung. The common area is pretty good, there’s tea and coffee provided and places for people to sit and eat or relax. There’s also a good sheltered laundry area on the top floor where you can hand wash and dry your clothes.
