    A bit dusty environment

    The location is good as near to Tainan Train station. The hostel overall is comfortable, just that a bit dusty as my friend is sensitive to dust and the floor also quite dusty (hostel provide slippers for internal wear). But, overall is comfortable and convenient. Also, alot of restaurant nearby.

    It was enough for me but i guess beds were a little bit short for a tall person (170cm over)

    Shower is great. Hot, strong and clean. Locker is big. Doom is clean. There are an elevator and water machines. Staff are kind and speak English. The cat is soooo cute.

    Facilities could have been cleaner but since this can be blamed on the guests as well it’s still a 10/10 accommodation for me!

    First of all, the location was amazing, super close to the train station and various nice places in the city are also within walking distance. The interior of the common area is soooo pretty and cozy, and I appreciated that there was a lot of locker space in the dorm rooms.

    There's not much to do around without a scooter. Is hard to get to places by foot, but there isn't a problem related to the hostel. The employees are not really friendly, but not disrespectful. I would say that they are OK.

    The location is really good, it is near the train station. 6 min walk The place was comfortable and clean It has an elevator and a water purifier/ water fountain. The bathroom only has 2 boxes to shower, and it is a little small. You have to leave your clothes on the vanity surface

    The door was very loud opening and closing. if you did not have one of the four beds with the locker against the wall, the other lockers are underneath the bottom bunks. I’m not sure a suitcase would fit in there, and it would be easy to disturb the person sleeping on the lower bunks.

    The property was clean and safe. The dorms were nice. I liked the design of the rooms. The beds were comfortable with enough space to lay my stuff next to me. The lockers provided were very secure. For my bed, the lockers were large enough to fit a small suitcase comfortably. There were enough outlets by my bed to charge all my devices. The curtain blocked light well.

    The rooms were not really sound proof, you could hear everything, from the stretto the nightly activities of other guests. The cleaning could have been better.

    Walls on the first floor are thin so lots of noise from the street but this is not a problem in the bed rooms

    Beds were very comfortable, good natural lighting in the room, lockers were below the beds with a code you easily set yourself so no need to keep track of a key, staff was very nice, good wifi on every floor, roof top space (no wifi on the roof)

    Nothing about the property. I just noticed that a lot of guests ignore (or maybe just did not understand) the rule about leaving food inside the fridge. There were those who just put their name and no check out info.

    The location was perfect. Very convenient walking distance to everything you will need. Good distance from the train and NCKU. A lot of good food in the area as well. The lobby and rooftop were very cozy. Love the brand of bath amenities that they use. The staffs were courteous and very helpful.

    almost not

    no breakfast package, good location, very close to the train station (takes about 5 to 7 mins by walking distance). The NCKU is nearby so it's good to have a tour inside campus.
