the hostel is very nice, the staff is very friendly, the manager speaks English very well, the atmosphere of really enjoyable in this hostel, they do a really good job.
however, it's a pity they it's so far from the city, but it's right near the train station.
The hostel was pretty nice itself. The hosts were sweet and helpful. I liked that there snack options that you could pay for. The showers were clean and the water was always hot!
There were a couple of unsatisfactory points for me though!
1. There were too many fruit flies in the kitchen and lounge area and they were on everything including the fruits set out for breakfast (and left out after breakfast was over) and the knives used for the toast spreads. It just felt a tad bit unsanitary overall.
2. There was a fee for luggage storage after you check out. While this was a first for me, I was willing to pay the fee. The issue that I had was that although the written out directions for how to go about storing your luggage after you check out (at least the English version) say that the fee is $30, when it came time to pay, I was told I had to pay $50 with no explanation as to why. It might have been a language barrier or misunderstanding but either way, I left unsatisfied with the discrepancies with what is written and what is actually acted upon.
Overall, if you're looking for a hostel with comfortable beds and nice showers, this is the place for you.
It is a great living experience in on my way Taitung.
They offer friendly living space and comfortable bed room for backpacker. The managers always have a good smile and free talk with you when you come back. That is a difference living experience here.
