Atmosphere”
Hostel itself was nice, it is right at the train station but may be a bit hard to find, as the entrance is from the back side. You will see the sign by the bubble tea shop. The atmosphere in that hostel was extraordinary - every evening they have some random free activity (coffee roasting, key chain making...) that is really fun to do and everyone working there is willing to help you with thatever you need. A girl working when I arrived was showing me where to go in the city for solid 15 minutes. There may be a small problem due to the fact that not everyone knows English (usually just a couple of words) but they are all so extremely helpful that you manage it somehow. As an example, myself knowing just 2 words in chinese - they managed to teach me a board game with chinese characters.

Exceptional”
I hesitated a lot before booking this hostel coz obvious it is really cheap and facilities look dated. But I will stay here again next time in Tainan. The atmosphere is great, hotel next to train station, everything is clean and staff is great. I personally saw the staff clean the facilities like every hour the night I stayed there. Staff told / invited me to join the nighty event, they have different events every night, I think there is a schedule posted next to the front desk office. I didn’t have time to enjoy the breakfast, but I did enjoy the 2nd floor and basemen common rooms, especially the basement, so cozy and spacious. After the nighty event, when almost everyone left, I took the sofa all for myself, did a 30 mins stretch, and read one of the books they provide (it’s like a little book treasure hunt). I thought the bed won’t be comfortable, yet I stand corrected, I slept like a baby. I enjoy my stay here a lot, so vibrant, alive and young. So, don’t be timid by some comments and photos. Book here!

HI Thank you so much for giving detailed description. We are trying to make guest feel like home and enjoy the time you stay here. Thanks again, we'll do our best to make oldmancaptain better.
Book here definitely when you're in Tainan. Strategic location. ”
The staffs are informative and friendly about giving tips on where you should visit when you're in Tainan. It's location is only 2 mins walk from Tainan Station which definitely will make your life easier. On my arrival, they already offered me a map and recommended some local attractions. On the last day of my trip, thankfully I took their advice by staying in Tainan rather than heading south to Kashiung at 2:30p.m. and I had to catch my flight from Taipei at 12midnight. Decent breakfast are provided. Book here!!

Great Location!”
Staying right next to the train station is so perfect: there are so many buses you can take around the city from this location! However there are so many sites that you can reach just by walking. The staff was super nice and the room itself was clean and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

ecceptional! except for young students”
Cosy + beautiful designed facilities. Well maintained by the sence of young female. Charged landry and free washing equipments available. Warm staffs and good mood in the common room. Shower was less to the amount of guests so you had to wait until midnight but the quality was very good. Some students (maybe the univ nearby?) LIVED here and they seemed not to be acceptable for visitors, they made some MAD hehaviours to me. I felt bad. I suggest the host to make a separated-room for them.

Rude staff!”
The staff treated the hostel like their own home and one girl was super rude when I wanted to drop my luggage off before 3pm check-in. Attitude kinda ridiculous I thought
