Convenient and comfortable

The hostel provides bike rental for us to cycle to Qixingtan. It is convenient for us to take bus to Taroko. Slightly far to night market around 30mins walk. The overall environment was relax and comfortable. A good place to stay, value for money. Staff is friendly.

離火車站很近

重點離火車站很近 下雨天走過去蠻快的 而且蠻貼心的會優先提供下舖(六人房), 而且洗浴的地方很大間(是跟其他住宿不同的地方)而且沒有在房間裡面,就不會聽到其他人洗澡的聲音。而且一樓的大廳很大,座位也很舒適。唯獨只是外面汽車交通比較大聲,如果容易被外面汽車聲音驚醒的(記得要關個窗戶)。

Modern, clean, and great location

We stayed in a private room with private bathroom, which I believe they have plenty despite the name "hostel." The place is really well organised with clean shared kitchen and living room downstairs. The bedroom is very clean and the shower room has a separate door for toilet. We checked in after the normal check-in time and received the check-in information in details making it super smooth when we arrived in late evening. Guests that we met were polite, clean, and quiet, making it very pleasant to stay. Highly recommended! :)
