Near main street and bus station

Stayed in April 2025

Like: Very central in Jiufen old street. The elder owner couple very nice . Husband took our 2 luggage down to the bus stop and wife walk us down to the bus stop. We got a 6 bed room with sea view and upgrade from the owner. Basic yet very homely … lovely sandwiches and fruits and coffee. Tv channels are great - so many channels - Cinemax etc . Dislike very minor - lots of steps up to the B&B unavoidable as this is jiufen but is worth it as with the good location - value for money

Hard to find, a local women helped up but very difficult to drive round the narrow steep streets, although there is a car park near.

Place had lots of character and the owner was really helpful, he came and rescued us when we arrived as the street is very narrow and we nearly got our car stuck on a very steep dead end. Once we found it the location was good for walking to the market srreet and to the Gold Museum (30 minute walk)

The bathroom was really cold.....

Breakfast provided was delightful - simple and yummy! The location is great, has a good view of the Keelung Port and is quiet and tranquil. Do follow the instructions on using the correct steps up from Jiufen Old Street as it's the fastest and less tiring route to the homestay. Thank you for giving us the 4 pax room even though we booked for 2, and rather last minute as well.

small bedroom with a narrow ensuite plus a so called sea-view room, it’s just a bed room in an ordinary house up the hills with plenty steps to claim! Not worth the values.

Pro: inside the main town Con: plenty steps to claim up, worse with luggages

Lovely village in the mountain. The service was great and the manager was very helpful.

Cozy, neat and clean, owner friendly and helpful, free breakfast and close to the old street

Breakfast was just ok, a sandwich of your choice, coffee and a bit of fruit.

The place was more of an apartment, minus the kitchen. There was another bedroom upstairs which we didn't use. The little window provided a good view, but that was rare as the weather was bad. The two bathrooms were great and the shower had excellent pressure. The bed was comfortable. The guy who manages the place doesn't speak English, but he is super helpful and will use the translator. Location is a few minutes from the Old Street using the steps.

The location of the room is not as stated. The room appear clean in general but there are insect eggs somewhere in the room. Cockroach is found too!

Was given a bigger room than the booked one.

Juifen streets and accommodations are not level with steps so no heavy suitcases. Apt only has 1 bathroom but with good supply of hot water.

We booked 2 bedroom apt sleeps 5 pax. It Apt is just outside the Juifen Old street and convenient to walk around the area. It is a home stay so apt is to be expected with home feel furnitures and clean. Owner is very friendly and helpful but speaks Mandarin only. Simple breakfast offered. Besides aircon, fans are also available if too hot in apt.

There were delays on my arrival due tu a major Typhoon hitting Taiwan on those days. All the other hotesl that I visited during the trip ajusted my fares as it was a delay beyond my control, here I was charged the full amount. It makes sense based on the rules, but other locations were more mindful of the situation. The place itself is located a certain walk away from the main streed with many stairs. I am quite fit, so for me it's not an issue, but if you carry heavy luggage. Less of an issue if you arrive by car.

It was more spacious than expected. The hosts were welcoming enough and they brought the breakfast in the morning based on what we ordered, it was quite good.

Was difficult to find the home stay & roads were hard to navigate when driving a large car

Friendly owner, location was near to Jiufen Old Town, basic but clean & comfortable.

Very nice owner. The place is not super new but it’s well maintained. The breakfast is a sandwich with filling of your choice, fruit platter and tea/coffee. Be payed for the 2p room, but we got upgraded to the 6p apartment, it was very nice. Good experience, I recommend this place.

The room smelled a bit.

It’s a cute place with a engaged owner. The interior is simple, a bit mixed up and selfmade, but ok. The heating blanket was super! Alright for one night.

None

Conveniently close proximity to Jiu Fen Old Street

The window view might not be represented accurately in the photos, since the window is not on the edge (it is next to the patio). There would sometimes be people sitting or passing by in front of your window which might not give lots of privacy.

Breakfast was good, they allow you to choose what you want on a menu when you arrive. There were many fruits in the breakfast. The place is calm and nice, and there is a view from the window. Pretty close to Jiufen old street.

The hosts were lovely and the room was clean and comfortable. The sea view was only from the second floor but they also have a nice outdoor sitting area with a sea view where we had our breakfast.

The road leading to the property is a little secluded, and although well-lit, would be a tad scary if I wasn't with my partner. The road wind through a couple of locals' homes, so I felt like i was intruding a little when I pass -- but that was just me. The roads aren't on Google maps either -- we took a wrong turn once, and ended up somewhere else, but that was a happy accident, because we happened upon views that were so otherworldly and unexpected -- off the beaten track, i guess!

Cosy little homestay -- it's operated by an adorable old couple. Would be incredibly helpful if you know how to speak mandarin -- Mandarin is my mother tongue, so I'm not sure how bad the language barrier would've been if I hadn't known the language. Love the view from the property's 'balcony'. We ate supper on the 'balcony' -- lovely! There were only three rooms -- we had the double room with sea view. Minimal sea view, but the view was great. It was cool enough at night to not require air-conditioning too (I went in early April). Toilets came with towels and shower gels/shampoo, and there was a hair dryer and TV too. Bed had an electric heater, and the duvet was weighted enough to give me that sense of security I love. It was close enough to the old street that we could make multiple trips back to the homestay to leave our shopping items behind before continuing our exploration. Made for an easy walk to the old street at night for the night lights too! It felt like going home in a foreign country :)

You need to walk stairs to reach the location, but that typical for Jiufen. Better take small luggage.

Close to Jiufen Old Street. All the shops and tea-houses are nearby. You have (small) seaview from upper room - you can seat at small desk and enjoy the views while eating or working. It can accommodate a few people (3 people each in own bed or 5/6 if 2 sleep in bed. 2 beds are big and 3rd bed upstairs is smaller). There are 2 bathrooms. This can be low cost for a group/family. Water dispenser with hot water and tea in room.

We were taken on a wild goose chase around town and then dumped in a very dirty apartment which they stated was an upgrade. We had to park our car very far away from the "b&b" and then walk up very steep stairs up through the whole village to the top to get to it (straight 20 min of climbing). We couldn't even say anything because the owner doesn't speak English and just took our suitcase and ran with it in front of us. The apartment was very dirty and stank of mold. The curtains were completely molded. Bathroom was disgusting and there were hair and weird things all over the floor. If it wasn't a "remote" village and it wasn't so late we definitely wouldn't have stayed there if we had a chance to even look at the place before the owner ran away. The beds were very hard. Breakfast was just a mini sandwich and some sweet tea.
