Small but complete and nice service ”

My daughter and I stayed in Kiwi for 2 nights in a twin room. Room was kinda squeeze but good enough for us. Bed was very comfortable. We like very much that they got guests to change their shoes to slippers before they go upstairs and there are lockers to keep your shoes. This hotel feels like home. Very near Miyahara ice cream but take note it is close on Tuesdays.

Convenient and great service!!”

Very near 2 mrt stations. You cross a park to get to the nearest one. So it's a bit of a scenic route. Clean, very comfy beds, really friendly staff. They anticipate what you need and immediately offer what they can help you with. We arrived early morning just when the reception opened. Our rooms were not ready of course. But they already checked us in and gave our keycards so we can go directly to our rooms during actual check-in time. They asked and kindly took our luggage up before we came back. If Taipei 101 has a high-speed elevator, for a small hostel they have a low-speed one! It's really just for taking luggage up and down. I take it as a quirky part of the hotel!

Our 4-day stay at this hotel was very satisfactory. My cousin and I will come back here if we visit Taichung again. All the hotel staff, esp. Chinnie, were friendly and assisted me in our accommodation problems. I like that shoes are not allowed inside the bedrooms. Instead, we were given clean slippers for indoor use. Breakfast was ok, and occupants are allowed to use the fridge. Shared comfort rooms are very clean.

Cool hostel and nice experience”

Check-in and check-out process were smooth. Free breakfast food were yummy. We booked double bed in female dormitory. The room has its own t&b with 3 double beds. Hot water in shower and sink were available. There’s bidet in the toilet! Water dispenser for drinking water is also available outside the room. The bed’s head board has 2 useful mirrors. It only has one power socket and one usb socket though. There are lots of hooks for you to put your stuffs hanging. The locker is just beside the bed - you have to use your key card to open it. 😉 Overall stay was good. Will definitely back when we’re going back to Hualien.

Nice hotel”

The good thing about the hotel is its location, being at the silent part of the city. So it's just a walking distance to coffeeshops, and restos, though kinda far from the train and bus stations. I love walking so when I was there, I really did a long walk to the National Museum of Natural Science, passed by a shoe store on promo, and other good places.

disappointed this time ”

I have stayed with them for many times. This time I asked for lower bund bed in advance. The customer service replied to my request starting that they can't garuntee that, which I totally understand. When I arrived at the hostel, I was assigned to upper bund bed. There was a lower buns bed remained unoccupied for a whole night and the very next morning. That's is to say that I feel like they don't actually put your special request on their printed file and just randomly assign a bed to you. I have very positive experience staying with them. But after this experience, I may consider finding other hostel around the area.
