    Great value! Will stay again in my next trip.
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Location is not great but I think that is the nature of Tai Chung as public transportation is quite limited. However, there is the famous ice cream shop (tourist attraction) about 5 minutes walk away.

    Value for money. The private rooms are actually quite big with a bathtub. I checked out the shared showers too and they are quite clean as well. 3 washers and dryers on the top floor, with plenty of entertainment (board games, consoles, pool table). Service was great too. After getting my room i realised the window was unable to close due to a small opening and they immediately gave me another room (windowless but I prefer it anyway). There is a FANTASTIC breakfast rice ball place a minute walk away.

    I'd like to think that my standards for bathroom conditions in hostels are not that high but there was this stench that wouldn't go away in the 6th floor toilets - I believe it's from the sewers? Was honestly quite unbearable.

    Stayed in a female only dorm. The design resembled a capsule and was rather spacious with more spaces to place your stuff than usual hostel beds. Also provide very basic breakfast (I would really recommend trying out local taiwanese breakfast outside though)

    Good value accommodation near the station
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Triple Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The room has a funny smell, probably from the drain in the bathroom. It would have been unbearable if we closed the window. Luckily the weather was cool during our stay (February) so we left the window open 24/7. The smell still bothered me so I'm glad we only stayed there for a few days. The room was so cheap so can't complain, but I would pay more for a better accommodation.

    We had the triple room and the bed was comfy. The third bed was just a very thin futon mattress so I don't recommend this room for 3 people. Common area has a pool table and games. Very simple breakfast provided for free if you're on a budget and desperate. The hotel is very close to eateries, including a roast pork restaurant a few steps away, and the best mochi shop (the name is Joy way if I remember correctly).

    Sometimes, the cleanliness feels a bit lacking, and for some reason, a few toilets are always closed. However, the hostel is packed, so it may not be easy to keep everything clean all the time. 🙏

    Staff is friendly and kind, and the place is great for spending a few nights while exploring Taichung. It has a nice lobby for working, gaming, or enjoying coffee. 😇

    I got placed at the top bed even though there's a lot of lower bed vacant, it's a bit of a hassle going up and down just to get or do something.

    It's my first time to experience capsule hotel and they didn't disappoint 😌, clean, warm, with locker for backpacks, staffs are nice, clean bathroom / washroom. Free bread/breakfast and coffee in the roof top with nice view.

    After we asked for the room to be cleaned for the first time, a dental floss stick that did not belong to us appeared in the bathroom. Although it improved immediately after we raised it with the front desk, we still felt uncomfortable.

    Location, reception was very helpful and kind.

    I understand that the hotel does not provide towels (I brought my own). Toilets should have bidet. There were four toilets but 2 were out of service (at the 7th floor)

    It was near the train and bus station. The hotel is accessible to various stores of the metro. The staffs were smiling and ready to help. All check-in process were clearly explained.

    As I was staying in a shared room, I wish the room could be more ventilated. cause our beds were small capsules which means there's only one way out. So the air was not able to flow into the capsule bed. The space got hot easily.

    It is very convenient because the hostel is really close to the Taichung Train Station. Staffs were really nice. And after I checked out, they even let me keep the luggage at the counter because I wanted to wander around the city before leaving. Overall, it was a nice experience.

    The girls in our room had to go down two floors to go to the restroom. The stairs of the bunk bed is not built for short people like me. Restroom needs more consistent cleaning.

    There is a dedicated space to dine in and talk to friends. Hotel is a short walk from train station.
