The house was amazing and comfortable. View was great!

Rhoda Japan

Highly recommended to stay here for cordial sraffs in-depth local knowledges and clean facilities located at a quiet corner of Jiufen，not to mention the breakfast at a cozy gallery as well as the night historical tour around one hour every day.

Yiwen Japan

Love the location. Away from the crowds so you may enjoy a quite time with the spectacular mountain view, while all main attractions are still within walking distance. Room is clean and staff are friendly. Night tour is the highlight, a must go!

Viki Taiwan

I took the retro styled room which could hold 5 people. It was sparkling clean and spacious. The hosts were amazingly nice and welcoming. They're all easy to get along with as long as you get them beers haha. There's also a couple of spots nearby where you get to have unbeatable night views. Lastly, the breakfast was decent and healthy. Highly recommended.

Chen Taiwan

A very cozy, comfortable hostel. I wanna thank the staff they were great and were able to teach me more chinese. Breakfast is included with homemade bread! This place is definitely recommended if you're planning to go to 九份！

I like the environment and the hosts are very nice to any customers. they provide a free night tour to introduce Jiufen's culture and history. really like this tour!

Che Taiwan

The SHINE room was a fantastic loft style with an amazing metal bathtub! It was basically a full apartment with a bedroom area, kitchen, and bathroom. As a tall person, it was the best bath I've ever used and could soak my whole body. Also the water was super hot! The staff was very nice and I did the walking tour which was really interesting.

Kayla Canada

The location at the end of the main street, central but quiet, was perfect. The staff was wonderful, spoke English very well & always had helpful advice. The hostel is small and it felt more like a homestay than a typical hostel.

Ronald Germany

Charming, comfortable, and clean house. Conveniently located in Jiufen with excellent staff! Delicious breakfast and included night walk around Jiufen were excellent perks. Would stay again and highly recommend to friends traveling through the area.

Margaret South Korea

The staff of the hostel is so great! The nightwalk they organise is just awesome if you want to know a bit more about the place. The breakfast is great and beds are comfy.
