The overlooked view of Taichung main station-the original and new building complexion

佳音 Taiwan

I went to this hostel earlier than the check-in time, the hostel manager greeted me with warm and excellent service helping me to store my luggage in a locked room. Also, as I am a blogger, she assisted me to film videos to introduce this beautiful hostel. Their open kitchen and some snacks for the guests. This hostel also follows COVID-19 restrictions to ensures guests stay in the hostel safe and healthy!

Super super convenient and clean. You walk out of the train station and in three minutes you're there. The elevator takes you up to the lobby with great views, and the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. Each floor is very clean, and has open seating spaces where you could meet other guests or just relax. The wifi was pretty fast, and the bathrooms feel quiet spacious. For the price, it was incredible.

Feel at home with the facilities provided to the customers.

Ellene Taiwan

Location next to train and bus stations in modern high rise on 9 to 12 floor and wonderful cheerful helpful staff of young ladies fluent in several languages. Heard from other travelers that hostel is even better than its photos. First time I award all tens.

There was laundry services available and a spacious common space at each level. All the basic necessities were provided- shampoo,towels,tissue paper etc. It was also just opp the Taichung train station. Some of the attractions are also within walking distance.
