      People here are very friendly and the living space is quite cozy.”

      我環島的旅程中住了這麼多背包客棧,就屬這間最合胃口,還因為太喜歡了而把之後的行程都推遲一天,只為了多住一晚。在這邊大家都很願意聊天,一樓的開放空間也設定的很好,讓大家會想待在那互相交流,特別是待在那張神奇桌子上。有付費的洗衣機和烘衣機真的很方便,特別是有時候下雨晾衣服根本晾不乾。床有點偏軟,會挑床的夥伴可能要考慮一下。其餘整潔,氛圍都很棒。 I have stayed in so many hostels in the journey travalig around the island and I love the sleeping boot backpacker the most. I love it so mich that I even postponed the following schedule just to stay one more night. Everyone here is very willing to chat, and the open space on the first floor is also very well set so that everyone will want to stay there and share their journey with each other. It is really convenient to have a washing machine and a dryer inside the hostel, especially when it is raining and the clothed could not be easily air dried. The mattress is a bit on the soft side so for traveler who is really picky about the mattress might have to think twice. Other than that, I give 10/10 for the facilities, tidiness and the great atmosphere.

      I really loved this hostel. I would definitely stay here again when I come to Hualien again. Staffs are super friendly and fun, room and shower room are very clean. They have a big table at the first floor which is very nice to get along with other travelers. The night market is a little far like 20 mins walk but it's no problem.

      The hot showers! That's the first thing which came into my mind when reviewing this hostel. I had walked in the rain after flying in and taking the train from Taipei to Hualien and it was by dusk. The hot showers were very, very welcoming and the sheets were so comfy I fell asleep before 9pm! Friendly staff who showed me around using a map and everything else was just perfect. Thumbs up!

Got a really good impression of Taiwanese life and food thanks to them! The hostel is good located between train station and city center. It is a nice common area and very clean. Unfortunately there were not many travellers (as is true for whole Taiwan...), but with Paul and Madeline, that didn’t matter :) would definitely come back!!

      Lovely hostel”

      Such a friendly hostel, I was greeted with question of what I wanted to see and a map that shows where everything is. The map could have been a better print out but was decipherable with a bit of though.
