KAOHSIUNG WITH LOVE ”

Abby and I planned a trip to Taiwan but we both agreed to visit Kaohsiung first. Yes, we're both new to see Taiwan. At first, we expected that Kaohsiung is big and difficult to travel around. However, we made a mistake. Kaohsiung is not so big and it was very easy to travel around. Moreover, we stayed in this place called Backpackers Inn. I booked it because I saw that it is famous in Agoda and I read some comments about this accommodation. I saw that they have many positive responses from their customer. When we arrived they were very accommodating and entertained us in English. The staff speaks English fluently, they cater to our needs. Yes, they have free breakfast. The room is fine because we booked a room in a female dormitory. They Kitchen with free bananas, I enjoyed it. Also, They have a nice lobby with comfortable sofa and chairs. Wifi is excellent. The location of this Inn is 5 mins away from the MRT station and shopping mall. Thank you so much Backpackers Inn <3

Good place for traveller”

I just stayed Backpackers Inn one night. It was good experience. Everything was clean and tidy. Reception desk staffs were friendly and willing to help me. Even cleaning staffs were all nice and kind. Toilets and showers are seperated and more than 5 each so no need to wait for using toilet and shower. 1f has common area for watching tv and kitchen for cooking and toilets which was great to gather there. I don`t have chance to go to roof top but I heard there also has common area, I want to try next time. One thing that I don`t understand is that check out time of this hostel is 12:00 but they deactivated my card around 11:30 so after taking a shower I couldn't go inside my room. Eventually I had to go to reception desk and solve the problem. Expect that one I was really satisfied my staying in here. If I have a chance to visit Kaohsiung I probably choose this hostel again. 😃👍🏼

Best hostel I've stayed in! ”

I was attracted by the reviews of this place and was by no means disappointed. Once I'd found it (thanks to some super-friendly ladies) owing once again to my questionable coodination, I was welcomed by the huge sign and took a picture and a member of staff came out to ask if I had a reservation then said, "Nice headphones" (thanks). Inside is really cool, stylish reception with pleasant staff; dorms have individual 'capsules', lockers are spacious enough but there are also shelves inside; everything's clean; bathroom is big; there's a lovely 'common area' with a well-stocked fridge including beers :) where I got to meet some new people and draw pictures of our hometowns for a Malaysia project. Also there's a cafeteria for breakfast which is good and ample for 100 NTD including a hot or cold drink. For such a big backpackers this is very well maintained. don't know Kaohsiung but it seems like the location is also very good. No matter how long I remain in Taiwan, I plan to return. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay at a very reasonable price. I met a guy who lives in Korea and he said the private rooms are quite pricey but probably worth it if splitting the cost.

Great Hostel close to MRT station and night-market 😊 ”

This was my first accommodation during my 13 days tour of Taiwan, and I spent 3days 2 nights in total at the backpackers Inn, Kaohsiung. The rooms can become a bit crowded but it's to be expected in the 9 beds rooms of the hostel. The service is great, very friendly staff and they usually go out of their way to help you with anything they can. Love the unlimited coffee and tea. Thank you! ☺️

Excellent stay for a small price”

Stayed at Backpacker Inn for 4 nights, was pleased with the room cleanliness and façade especially when the room charge per night was very reasonable. Self-service laundry is available which is a plus point for travelers whom do not wish to bring too much clothes while travelling. The location is in a shopping district and a 3 mins walk to the MTR station, staffs are friendly and helpful even when I check-in late due to stuck on the road trip from another area. Will definitely choose to stay with Backpacker Inn again!

Comfortable stay”

I stayed at 9F double bed, room was exceptionally clean with a private shower room. Place is near Central Park MRT station (5 to 10 min walking dist). There are about 3 shopping malls, food streets and apparel/ stationary stores nearby. I could easily travel around Kaohsiung with my stay at Backpackers Inn. I'll certainly come back here the next time :)

A great place to stay in Kaohsiung”

My stay in Backpackers Inn was great. It's very near to the Central Park station and you could even have a morning jog at Central Park too. You have your own cubicle with curtain so privacy wise it's good. Bed is comfortable. A down point is that it might be noisy from the bed above you. Washroom is clean and there's quite enough so don't really have to queue. The breakfast is quite a deal for only NT80 for in-house guests. Staff are really friendly. Another down point that I would like to bring up is the one and only washing machine at the loft. The average washing time is half and hour and the whole block is using that machine. Anyway, the overall was great.

Great Location, Value for money ”

Backpackers Inn is located near Central Park station, exit 2, about 200m walk away. It's a stone throw away from the shopping district, Xin Jue Jing, and night market. Good for those who like to shop and eat till late. Hostel receptionists are extremely friendly and the hostel has a big lobby and rooftop for residents to chill and relax after a long day. Shared bathrooms and toilets are pretty clean and hygienic. My stay was pretty satisfying.

A very pleasant and comfortable stay!”

The location of the hostel is perfect - only 2 mins walk from the nearest MRT - and food and shopping was conveniently situated at the next street. Room was clean and breakfast provided was delicious too! Will definitely choose to stay at Backpackers Inn, Kaohsiung the next time I'm in Kaohsiung!

I love my room in Kaohsiung”

I go with my wife n we had wonderful experience during 4 nights here,very near MRT,shopping mall n night market,7Eleven.We will come back n stay Backpackers Inn Kaohsiung again!!!

Hotel Recomended”

cheap, good location”

i just realized i have booked the wrong date during check-in.when i asked to stay 1 more night and expect to pay for it, the staff allow me to stay the extra night for free after they have discussed. i'm so grateful for their generous. the place near mrt station and a walking distance to night market. the c-bike located at the central park are so close. you could rent a bike with very cheap fare to roaming around the place if you have i-pass. the bed is comfortable and the number locker for small backpack. i like the map provided by Backpackers Inn that indicated the nearby breakfast stall .i will stay again if visit kaohsiung.

Exceptional”

Well thought out for backpackers. Great maps with clearly written directions to get you to main sights in Kaohsiung area. Front desk staff super nice. Overall layout very user friendly. Rooftop nice and l aundry facilities are good with cheap option to hang your clothes to air dry. Quiet rooms and great air conditioning!

Great stay, value for $$ and excellent location”

The inn is strategically located that is of 2 mins walking distance to Central Park metro., along the main road. The room is cosy and clean. Breakfast and extremely simple with ice tea and bread/croissant. Will come back to stay again when coming back to Kaohsiung!!

Comfortable Place For Single Traveler”

I had stayed this Inn for several times. The price of backpacker room is very cheap on week days. And the facility is very good. The best thing for this time is that they redecorated the basement as karaoke room. Many people enjoy singing and making friends there.

Exceptional”

I loved this place! I booked a single private room for two people, and it was very clean, and had the expected amenities. The rooftop lounging area is amazing - amazing views of the city, snacks and drinks for purchase, nice areas to hang out... Wish I could have stayed another night to try out the karaoke! Definitely recommend for a great value option in Kaohsiung. Staff are also friendly. It is quite close to MRT station for convenient traveling around in the city. Sidebar about food - the breakfast is limited with only one option each day. I would probably head to the street for a proper taiwanese breakfast if I had time. There is also a FANTASTIC coffee place just kitty corner from the hotel called CAFE AWAKEN (I think - you can ask the front desk for info). They have single origin beans made as either espresso or hand pour, and it is just delicious. Highly recommend!

Provides the full hostel experience, and makes it easy to interact with other travelers.”

If you want to experience hostel life and interact with other travelers or if you are traveling with a group on a budget, this is the place to be. The place has a nice lobby on the first floor, a karaoke room / bar in the basement, and a rooftop where travelers can purchase beer and other beverages. They also provide some board/card games, making this hostel the perfect one for those who want to interact with other travelers or are traveling in groups. They also have suites for those who want more privacy. Laundry available on the rooftop (pay by coins) Do note that meal coupons for breakfast are only provided for those who are staying in their Suite rooms. Showering cubicles were a little small (as is the case for most hostels, so I'm not that bothered by it). The Hostel and its staff do provide quite a bit of information about traveling in Kaohsiung and the available attractions. Speak to the staff if you want to reserve a taxi to Kenting. (I paid TWD 400)

One Of The Better Hostels I've Stayed At”

There are so many great things about this place. For starters, they've got three massive common areas for guests - a "party room" in the basement with a kids area, karaoke, darts, and an arcade machine, a dining space / living area adjacent to an open kitchen and a rooftop garden. There's snacks and drinks available for purchase in each of these spaces as well as the lobby, the latter of which also offers toiletries and other amenities. The accommodations are great too - not typical hostel bunkbeds but segregated areas with privacy curtains and individual lights / outlets. Lockers are spacious too. Bathrooms are a weak point, they seem rather dated, but are clean and functional. Lastly, location is fantastic - <5 minutes from the MRT line and close to a nice park, Urban Spotlight, and plenty of restaurants and bars. Definitely worth a stay if you're visiting Kaohsiung

Nice Inn!”

I stayed only for a night but I wish I could stay longer. Check in and check out was hassle free as their staffs are all nice. I had a bit problem with my locker and one of the staff helped me fix it. Also, the location is very good! I l really love how near the inn is to the MRT Central Station (with escalator so it's hassle free when you're carrying a luggage). Also close to Xin Jue Jiang market and NET shop which I super love for their sale on selected clothes! The common bathroom and toilet are also clean. Just noticed some dust on the headboard of my bed and on the mini fan. Not a big deal tho. I stayed in a female 6-bed dormitory and I was assigned on the upper bed. Overall experience was great! The food stall outside serves delicious sandwiches as well!! Loved it so much!

Very nice hostel”

Me and my friend were here last August 2017 and we stayed for 1 night. The location was just about 15 mins walk from the train station. The room was clean and comes with fresh linen. The entire facilities including the shower area is very clean. The hostel is also just a few mins away from restaurants and street food place. The staff was very accommodating and provides detailed instructions when we asked for directions and hot spots. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Kaohsiung.
