No free water nor coffee in the room

The hostel is not in central Taichung and there are no pavements/sidewalks in the area so walking around there is not very easy.

Trendy hostel with good views of Taichung. Reception staff are very helpful. Common area has a microwave and is well used by other guests so is good for meeting new people.

Not the easiest to find as the signage on the column in front of the building has faded. Walked past it twice before a security guard pointed me in the right direction. Watered down hand soap. Stayed in the dorm and on two out of three nights someone was checking in between 1-3am. Lights on, lockers being open and closed, luggage dragged across the floor. Did not get good sleep at all.

Nice decor in common areas. Good selection of tea/coffee.

The room was dimly lit at night.

I didn't have trouble finding the hotel. As you face the security booth downstairs, take the corridor on the left (which is the security guard's right). The guard saw me with a backpack and immediately directed me. Take the elevator at the end of the hallway, and go to the 10th floor. There was absolutely no gambling or any other activities or crowds on the weekend in February when I was there. I had the room right next to the reception, but it was pretty quiet, probably because it was away from the lounge at the other end of the hallway. I liked having a window that I could open.

The location downstairs looks very dangerous and dirty.

The staffs were extremely friendly and the place is like an oasis as you can get free sparkling water and there was a relaxing spot (like a lobby) to see the outside view of Taichung plus it's artsy deco is really cozy.

A bit hard to spot when we first arrived.

The room was super clean and the staff very helpful! The only downside was the neighborhood that was a bit sketchy.

Not much. I was just surprised about the area is full of little gangs. And other floors in the building seems to do some casino-like business. But it doesn’t affect the hotel. At least not the time l was in and out.

Comfortable bed and pillows. I love the shower and bathroom. And the coolest thing about it is the tiles are quick-dry. It’s so thoughtful that they have water fountain machine and free sodas.

Mattress in the dorm is a little thin compared to other places. But not to the point of it being an issue. And considering the price this would be nitpicking more than anything

Hostel was clean & very well put together. Especially the common area which was great to hang out in & felt very relaxed. Free proper coffee, teas, & small complimentary crisps snack things were also a great bonus. Location is also good with street food places in the surrounding area. Short walk from the train station.

The toilet is abit small.

Great location, it’s near lots of food places and there’s a family mart and pharmacy just across us. The bed is comfortable too.

We did not want house keeping and didn't ask for that. So we didn't expect anyone would came in to our room. But the next day after being out, we found that someone had came in to empty the bin. (The staff at the reception clearly told us at check in that if we wanted house keeping we needed to tell them at the reception, otherwise they'd not clean the room during stay). The entrance was a bit dodgy and difficult to find. There were so many hawkers in front of the building which blocked the sight of the entrance / sign. There was only Chinese sign and no (or tiny) English sign of the Inn. (Chinese name and English name could be different). I booked the inn on English website with English confirmation. We didn't realise the Chinese name of the inn and didn't find it immediately. We walked back and forth with luggage and it was the security who noticed us and came up to ask if we're looking for this inn. Apart from the entrance, once getting in to the lift, everything else was clean and nice.

Spacious and clean room, with a proper window and a proper view. There's no TV but a projector with online entertainment which we really liked. We did movie nights and huge screen in front of our bed. (The only imperfect thing was that the wall paint was in deep blue / green colour which wasn't the best for the projected screen quality) There's a common area with fridge, microwave, drinking water machine and coffee machine providing free coffee.

The building is not a normal space, there are amusement arcade, KTV in the same building. The Cigarette smell is very strong in the elevator and hallways.

Bathroom is very clean, there are multiple TV options, like Netflix, Iqiy,etc.

I paid on the booking.com and then when I arrived. Reception said I need to wait two weeks to be refunded, I think they said it’s a deposit, bizarre! I had been travelling for 3 months and never had this before. So photo below.! Hope they refund me soon 😢

Friendly staff, water refill

The staff at the counter is super friendly and smiles at you when you walk by. The location is convenient and there is a street night market on the front street, so you have different choices for dinner or supper. The room I stayed was clean and the bathroom is inside the room. It was clean and quite quiet. The bed frame makes squeaky noises when you roll over 😂

Maybe, the soundproof of the room, but It's a backpacker things, so it's okay.

The room and common room is clean, and the overall facilities are good. The view from common room is also great!

The male midnight shift staff makes people very uncomfortable in many details. I went to the counter at 12,:00 exchanging coins for a coke, he tells me the coke machine is closed "after" I got the change and had already thrown in the jar ten dollars, without offering refund. I was sitting alone in the lobby in the middle of the night looking at the city view without turning on the lights, he came in to close the curtain in front of me twice without consulting my opinion, it's some kind of a sick vibe.

Location, facility,bed.

Had a great time here. The hotel is very easy to find, on the 10th floor, overlooking the city. It’s in a central neighbourhood, maximum of 15 minutes walk from everything. The park, central station, 2nd food markt, and in the evening there are plenty of food stalls on the street downstairs. It was also very safe to wander around at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and there’s a common area where you can get thee/ coffee or just hang out with cosy music in the background. We had a room next to the communal area, and still slept great, never heard anything, and it is very well isolated.
