Heartwarming hostel filled with warmth of Tainan people”

Really enjoyed my stay there, really enjoyed Tainan. Would love to return to this city for more, and would definitely consider staying there again. Booked a double room, spacious, plenty of room for 2 big luggages. With table and side table. Toilet is cleaner than the picture seems, really satisfied with that. The lobby area is a gem. Full of books, magazines, pamphlets, things to entertain you and let you know more about Tainan or anywhere. Really interesting! Spent my night fiddling with the materials there. Staffs are the most most most helpful people I've met. Nice and polite! Only they don't work 24hrs, so please settle what you need to ask before they knock off. Location is superb. Just rent their bicycle and ride around. Plenty of alleys to go into and explore!

I had a very enjoyable stay at Light Hostel. The staff were very friendly and provided information about the local area and places to eat when I needed it. They also humoured me by trying to understand and answer my garbled Mandarin, which I very much appreciated. The room was clean and there were lockers provided however the shower/toilet had no separating door so sounds and smells were free to roam. This was especially annoying when another guest returned at 3 am and decided to take a shower. The hostel has signs requesting guests to use a shower in the basement at this time so they do try to prevent this scenario. Overall it is a very nice and quiet place to relax while you explore Tainan.

Great location with food street near by! ”

Currently there’s construction going on right outside the hostel, so the bus route is being affected. But that is okay because the nearest bus stop is really near to the hostel as well. In fact, that bus stop was the bus stop (Ximen You-ai street I think) I went to reach most of the other locations I wanna go in Tainan. So it was a blessing in disguise for the diversion of route. Food street and some bars are right outside the hostel. The common area is really huge and clean. They have all basic facilities provided as well. Overall, great stay with pretty good location but definitely need to take a bus from the station to reach. The bus frequency in Tainan is quite okay so no issues with that.

Exceptional”

The hostel is quite far from the train station, about 20 minutes walk, but when taking the HSR to Tainan it is just 5 minutes walk from the HSR shuttle bus Siao Simen stop. The building is easily recognizable and the facilities were clean. Simple breakfast is served at 8:30 am and bicycles are ready to hire for $100 ntd for one day. I booked a 6 bed dorm room, and one downside is only the toilet and bath. Shared T&B per room with clear doors. They also have luggage area to store your stuff if you arrived earlier than 3:00 PM.

great hostel in tainan”

location is pretty nice And staff is really helpful best staff ever!! really enjoyed the stay in tainan used same branch in kaohsiung and it was also good! definately gonna use light hostel again!

Brand New Design Hostel with Hotel Facilities”

I stayed 2 nights. Staff is very welcoming, clean and the common areas are beautifully decorated with modern design furniture. The hotel rooms are spacious, comfortable beds and big bathrooms. Only missing coffee facilities in each bedroom, and my room had no view. I am sure I was just facing the wrong side. But overall I would definitely stay there again if I go back to Tainan.

Wonderful facilities and location.”

Exceptional staff, great lounge area to chat and meetup with people. Location of the hostel is very convenient as well. Highly recommend this hostel if you’re budget conscious and staying in Tainan for all the great eats nearby!

All around great choice in Tainan”

Amazing location and very neat, clean facilities. I ended up staying here twice. Breakfast could be improved, but the food and nightlife around the hostel is the best of the best in Tainan.

Great hostel for price ”

We had a great stay at the hostel, price is good and almost more of a hotel then hostel feeling room. For us there were a few cons, that’s why it isn’t a full 5 star. The staff speak very poorly English and don’t have any recommendation for restaurants or activities (language barrier good be the problem) and there was no more breakfast, due to the low session. The rest was great. Nice clean and a big room. Walking distance for most of the highlights and use the app taiwan buss to get around the rest of the city.

Excellent”

Have to walk 10mins if you are taking Bus H31 from Tainan HSR. Hostel's area is very happening at night. You get to have your own bathroom together with your roommates who are sharing the same room as you.

Enjoyable stay in Light Hostel”

Acoustic insulation could be improved. Otherwise, Light Hostel offered a clean room and adequate facilities at a great location with a reasonable price.

Great”

Althought its a hostel, the cleanliness,facilities is very good.. Its within walking distance to one of the street market open in the afternoon. The lobby is big and spacious. Their toilet is inside the room and not like most of the hostel the toilet is at another area. The staff is also friendly to assist with any inquiries.

Super pretty and cosy hostel!”

Looks exactly like photos and definitely super cosy, especially the common area! Always make a point to head to common area to chill before bed because it will be such a waste not to chill there!there’s also TV, iMac available for use. The room may look normal but it’s surprisingly cosy even after you put the blind down! Public shower facilities also super spacious, each shower room comes with an additional area (dry) that allows you to put your clothes and get changed. Breakfast voucher provided that needs to claim from a local store selling fish skin related food (porridge, soup, etc), taste alright, would prefer toasts and spread though. SUPER RECOMMENDED!!! The only downside is distance may be slightly further from train station (30mins walk)

Good for a night and friendly staff”

A very youthful vibe and an OK location for getting to places around Tainan via bus (the only public transport). Every dorm room has its own toilet, which is more of a curse as people start doing their business in the morning and you hear everything. The upper bunks also lack support railing so some of my stuff accidentally fell down to the poor guy below.

Great place to stay!!”

This hostel is located right next to the great and famous local shopping street, where you can find everything in walking distance. The staff is very professional, super friendly and welcoming. Having stayed in several hostels around Taiwan, this is definitely the best one. The dorms are big and very nicely furnitured. Everything is clean and I felt very comfortable staying there!

Nicely decorated. ”

I love how it is decorated at the chilling area where you can hang out with your friends, play some games etc... The room is comfortable, toilet is spacious. For the breakfast, you will have to walk 10-15mins from the Hostel. (We got lost and didnt try their breakfast) -.-

Good Location and bathroom attached to bedroom”

This hostel is not far from Section 2, Guohua St, at West Central District. Breakfast is provided, eventhough it is bread and jam and coffee. But it is nice. I love it. The bathroom and toilet is attached to bedroom. If it is 4 pax room, means the toilet is only meant for 4 of you.

Stylish hotel with lovely light rooms and great communal area”

Loved the style and decor of the hostel and it's central location. Room was clean, bright and spacious, as was the communal area. Bikes for rent at 50NT per 6 hours or 100 for 24h. Breakfast isn't the best but works and the coffee was great!

Cosy hostel near to famous eating place”

Although with some distance from train station, but the hostel location is near to famous eating place. With walking distance, can explore those famous eating street. The hostel is new and clean.

A purposely designed Hostel”

When i choice a hostel to stay, I prefer a place that is purposely designed as Hostel, rather than refurised from office use or residential use. This Hostel will suit the travelers need in smooth run
