customer service, the staff are very responsive and helpful

Simon Taiwan

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was very friendly. Everything was clean. They provide a towel, shampoo, and body wash at no extra charge. The lobby/common area was extremely nice. As a solo female traveler I appreciated that the whole 5th floor was for women only. That made me feel even more comfortable. There were lots of restaurants, shops, and other places within easy walking distance. When I go back to Taizhong I will definitely stay here again.

This is the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in Taiwan. Excellent location. 24/7 front desk service.

Tsai-chin Taiwan

The bed is comfortable. A girl also doesn't need to worry about safety if book a share room. Everyone has enough privacy and their own locker. Considering the price, the breakfast is really nice. BTW, girls with long hair would definitely like their hair dryer with strong power.

Ying Taiwan

Very clean, comfortable, good location, and very good staff.

Chairat Thailand

can tell that the person is very considerate. They prepare slipper, cotton swabs, even normal saline! and simple breakfast(free).

Good place, quiet, nice facilities, it was very practical that you could use the key card to open the locker as well. Nice that the slippers were non-disposable and there was recycling. Unfortunately I didn't find time to try the rooftop, but the common area/lounge was spacious. The kitchen was a good size too and the location close to Xiangshang Market was very good. Overall clean.

Breakfast is not bad; there's toast with 3-4 different choices of spread and traditional Chinese style congee with pickles and dried pork thingy. There are free tea bags and creamer. The decor is pleasant and the communal area is spacious. What I particularly like is the design of the shower area and the bed. The location is superb. It's right on the main road and I spent 2 hours just in a huge secondhand bookstore almost next door. It's perfect for a lone traveler who enjoys exploring small and new things along the way.
