Amazing hostel ”

In the common area: Huge table with fast stable wifi great for those who work online. Massive TV, card games, boardgames, fridge and plenty of dishes and counter space. In the double bed mixed hostel the common shower area and bathroom were very clean. The double bed was very large and comfortable. A bit hot but there was AC. The internet wasn't as fast up there. I noticed they had a storage room labeled guests workspace which they were using as storage. My idea would be transform that into a Skype room and place a router outside of each floor. This way remote workers can have high speed internet and a private place for video calls. Either way I see this place having lots of potential to be a coworking- coliving space. By just adding more router and high speed internet throughout. Highly recommend!!

Good place to stay”

The hostel is very near the Kaohsiung MRT-Formosa Boulevard Station. Although it's not very spacious, the bed is comfy which you can totally get enough rest. However, if you're someone who definitely need sunshine into the room, it might not be a good choice for you, because there is no window in the room.

Totally Recommended!”

Booked a 3 night stay and had a very pleasant experience there. Everything from the room, (bedsheets and bathroom is clean and maintained) to the location (barely a minute walk from the nearest exit) and price is very good. It also provides several amenities (soap, shampoo and hairdryer). Other thing is it provides a pleasant breakfast and night snacks while the other rarely gives any breakfast! The staff keeps refilling the foods so no need to worry for having a late breakfast. Moreover, the 4-story high building also provided with elevator so bringing a lugage won't be a nuisance as there's also a storage room inside the shared bedroom. Will definitely recommend this hostel to my friends who'll go to Kaohsiung!

Clean and modern hostel with pretty disinterested staff”

We spent 2 nights over a weekend here in one of the double-bed dorms. The rooms themselves are clean and the beds comfortable, although the cheap bed linen was wearing thin. The toilets and bathrooms were clean and hot water available. The big plus of this hostel is the breakfast, with plenty of toast, eggs and tea/coffee available in the morning for free. The staff were pretty depressed, and it wasn't clear who was staff for most the time we were there. Still, only seconds from Formosa Boulevard station, so we couldn't complain. Another note - Kaohsiung is definitely over-rated as a city, with a pretty underwhelming atmosphere at night, so if you're planning more than a 1-day visit, think twice in our opinion.

Hello its me, the counter staff call An An is beautiful and helpful, I go to live their hostel because of her. The location of the hostel is convenient. Having nice breakfast over there, the lobby was small but you can try to chit-chatting with them and even other foreigner or backpacker. You can really make alot of friends over there from different country and listen for their experience. Its is very lively and happening especially during weekend. Suitable for those with low budget but also want a comfortable with nice stay while can make alot of friend over there.

Great experience!!!”

It was really fun staying at this hostel. I gained a lot of friends. Their common area or dining area where travellers sitting down and gather have many stories from different countries. I hope they'll change the curtain of the bed to broader one to have privacy when inside the bed because the curtain is so small and it shrinked. The staff is REALLY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMODATING. It's also a great location. I highly recommend this hostel. The temperature of the room is good, shower area is clean.
