The Hostel was very clean and check-in was easy. There is a kitchen if you feel the need to warm something up or cook. I've didn't see any staff during my stay so if you run into a issue this might become a problem. They are very fast responding if you write them though.

it is very near to kaohsiung railway station. however, the hostel can be a little difficult to find/spot because it is located in between houses. a tip would be to spot the pineapple sticker outside the house. it seems as though the owner lives on the third floor of the house while level 1 and 2 are used as a hostel. it is relatively clean and comfortable staying there. nothing really bad or exceptional about it.

Nice place, good location (just 5mins walk from Kaoshuing Train station and the public transportation station to Kenting and many other outer area of the southern Taiwan), friendly host and her daughter is very adorable. The facilities are great and love the curtain for every single bed, then we get to have some privacy during the stay. Superb!!

I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well-kept this hostel was. I have stayed in 50+ hostels during my lifetime and this was possibly the cleanest. The rooms were big and there was a curtain for enhanced privacy. It is easy to find and super close to the train station. The boss was very kind and let me leave my bike and clothes inside all day. Recommended to all and I would jump at the chance to stay there again!

Kaohsiung Main Station (take lift on right to upstair), will see lots of taxi, walk passed taxi, right side passed by Kindness Hotel then Airline Inn hotel (opposite side - passed 2 traffic lights), continue walking will see Subway on the same direction then turn right into alley walk in and another turn right 50m then turn left 4 units (logo pineapple picture) key in your last 4 digit booking number on digital lock, door will open. Nobody serve you, clean environment and not many people staying so is a quiet place. Other than that, not much comment. Value for $$$.
