Hostels in Taiwan, China

Good location. 5 mins walk to the main bus and train stations, but a little far from the central area on foot, about 15-20 mins walk. Close to quite a lot of restaurants and cafés. The room was okay, quite clean overall, but my room was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator, so I had to take the stairs every day. The staff was quite friendly and helpful. The wifi could be improved.

Fantastic location, literally right at the Formosa Boulevard Station exit. The ambiance was also very pleasant. Breakfast was included, though I regrettably slept in and missed it – a real pity! Check-in is at 3 PM, and check-out is before 11 AM.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in in Taiwan! I loved the selection of skincare products and the dorms were really nice! Good common areas and great bathrooms. Very stylish. Only downside is the location. It is in the suburbs, but if you are just passing through it is a good place.

Unlike many other hostels here, this is very spacious hostel. The common area is downstairs and it’s huge including games, restaurant and work/sitting area. Lockers too are very big, you can put all your suitcase. There are many toilets/bathrooms. Nearby there is really good market with local food options and around this place theee are so many cute coffee shops

Great location, super close to everything in Ita Thai. Rooms are SO SPACIOUS! I’m 5’4 and I could almost stand up in the pod. There’s even room for your bags next to the bed and the whole pod locks so you don’t have to spay for a separate locker. Staff are friendly. Everything is clean, especially the bathroom/shower room. There’s a kitchen area on ground floor and a rooftop. It wasn’t a sociable hostel really, but I wasn’t there for that so it was perfect.

Highlight is definitely the common room, very comfy and set up in a way which is ideal for playing games together and getting to know new people. Beds are comfy with curtains and showers and bathrooms are clean. Bicycles are also available, really convenient way to grab a quick snack, since the hostel is admittedly not in super short walking distance to many things. Great place to stay in Yilan.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in my whole 23 years travelling around the world, absolutely outstanding. Spotless, spacious, beautifully designed and decorated, full of anything you could possibly need and more, lovely quiet street, seconds away from the bus stop and minutes walk to Lukang centre. Easy to find, smooth self check-in, very quick and responsive host. The beds, furniture, kitchen, everything is such outstanding quality and so pretty to look at. The rules are respected so the communal living is very pleasant, it's silent at night and social during the day. I regret not having stayed longer.

Top-notch convenience: The location scored a high 9.7, with the Airport Express just a 5-minute walk away and Taipei Main Station MRT reachable within 10 minutes. The surrounding area is packed with bubble tea shops and unique small stores. Ningxia Night Market and the National Museum are within a 15-minute walk, and Ximending is only a 20-minute walk away. Thoughtful and complete facilities: Beds come with individual curtains and safety deposit boxes, offering great privacy. The public areas are extensive; the 4th floor has a refrigerator, microwave, coin-operated washer/dryer, and provides free hot and cold water. Next to the sinks, amenities like cotton swabs and makeup remover are available for communal use. Warm and attentive service: The front desk staff are enthusiastic and patient, assisting with luggage and recommending itineraries. Some staff members also speak Japanese. The first floor features a themed bar with different monthly events, and guests even receive a complimentary small whisky, making it easy to socialize. Excellent breakfast: Freshly prepared Asian-style breakfast is offered, with shredded pork omelets and chocolate toast being highly praised. Coupled with free tea and coffee, it offers exceptional value for money. High standard of cleanliness: Beds, public spaces, and bathrooms are all kept spotless. Guests are considerate, and the indoor environment is quiet, not noisy, earning it the title of ”Hygiene Preferred.”

My plans changed at the last minute, so I made a reservation on the day. Although the check-in time is listed as 11:30 PM, it seems possible to check in late at night using the self-service check-in machine (I'm not sure if this is official; I did contact them via chat on Trip.com beforehand). To use the intercom late at night, just press the one on the left. The hostel facilities were generally kept clean, and I had a comfortable stay. There was also a clearly marked sign about luggage storage, so I think this is a recommended hostel for Japanese people staying in Chiayi who can read Chinese characters.

A little distance (about 1 km) from the train station. . The side facilities are adequate. Walk 150-250 meters to McDonald's and convenience stores. The room smells of wood when the door is opened. good. . There seem to be two doors to enter the gate. I misunderstood the long wait at the other door and no one opened. Can't contact the owner either. Now the phone card only allows Internet access. (It is recommended that the sticker tell you to use another door to find someone or provide an app contact method.) Remember to buy return train tickets in advance. .
