You can have another better choice”
The facilities in the hostel are quite old and not clean. Location is a bit far away from the bus station and Taichung railway station, if you have big luggages, I will not recommend this hostel to you.
Excellent”
Right next to Donghai University, near restaurants, shopping, and convenience stores. Five minute walk from bus stop. We stayed into a tent on thrall balcony, felt like camping. Great value for the cost and we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and value for money”
This hostel is located near Tunghai Night market, which means food can be reached easily. Public transports is also easily accessible. Convenient stores are also located nearby. Only the washroom is a little too small.
Very good”
clean, quiet and close to airport.
Travel With Best Friends”
I would definitely visit again ! btw i love the campsite hahahahaha
Excellent”
near the night market. the location is great. the backpacker room provide lockers, which is good, but some lockers are too high to reach.
Acceptable”
Not what we expected. Stay on the rooftop that was very opened-air. A lot of mosquitoes and bed bugs. Very hot. Strongly not recommended!
Very nice place to have a rest after a cycling day. ”
the staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
nice place with friendly environment”
helpful staff with okay facilities. You can't ask for more with that price.
Friendly atmosphere ”
Le lieu est simple et très convivial. A quelques pas du marché de nuit, du campus universitaire et des lignes de bus pour aller au cœur de Taichung. Grâce aux informations de l'accueil, j'ai pu assister aux concerts de Noël sur le campus. Un excellent souvenir. Je reviendrai.
初めての台中旅行”
繁華街を少し横に入り静かな場所にある可愛らしいホステルでした。隣の店の豆花がとても美味しかった！ 台中駅からはバスで約30分と離れた場所にあるので、時間が無い方や、駅周辺で済ませたい方には少し不向きかもしれません。 カーテンの仕切りがないドミトリー初挑戦だったのですが、やはりそれが個人的にはしんどかったかも…
很特別，我第一次住帳篷”
它是天台屋，沒有冷氣，只用電風扇，蚊子較多，雖然有蚊香，最好自備防蚊噴霧，洗手間及浴室需落一層至二樓
3F帳篷區，有位 長期住客，清晨一起床，就在3F抽菸。就連在洗手台前 刷牙、洗臉， 也不忘叼根菸。 建議 帳篷區，要有明確的<禁菸>公告！ ”
3F 有煙味， 住宿品質不好。 請旅館清潔人員，查看一下 3F 垃圾桶內，應有不少 菸蒂。
太糟了！臨時避一晚，可以”
入住頂樓帳篷，環境髒亂！隔音不好吵雜，帳篷內超熱，飛蚊多
不舒服”
睡帳棚區，不乾淨。一直打噴嚏跟抓癢。
性價比高”
很乾淨，設施齊全
Very good”
比較適合單人旅遊 空間較迷你
Very good”
位置近東海商圈,吃東西很方便,房間床好睡,但空間較小,厠所和浴室各2間,人多時要排隊.
