    Fabulous place to stay. Would definitely recommend

    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Being picky - very small hand towels only. Shower head holder rubbish, have to hand hold. Otherwise all great.

    Great location, so central. Staff great when available. Check in easy. A great hostel, kitchen is fabulously equipped, but take own food as only quick junk food at quick marts. Food outlets good tho. Showers great, fab pressure, but hand held. Very small hand towels only provided. Beds comfy. Good A/C.

    There weren’t many power outlets in the room — just one on the wall and two on a power strip, and none of them could be used from the bed. Also, there was no vanity, which might be a bit inconvenient, especially for women.

    This B&B is located in front of the entrance to Jiufen Old Street, right next to the 24-hour Family Mart convenience store, and just a one-minute walk from the bus station. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Overall, it’s very convenient for backpackers.

    -The homestay's name ("Old Street Seaview Homestay") is a bit misleading. While I initially assumed all rooms had a sea view, this is not the case. It's important to double-check the room details before booking. -On the way to the room, there is no elevator available, so you will need to use the staircase to go up or down. -Regarding payment, I initially believed the booking would deduct payment directly; however, it requires a bank transfer or cash payment. -Lastly, I booked the breakfast package expecting a breakfast prepared by the owner. However, I received an email upon arrival stating it’s actually a 50 NTD cash voucher per person redeemable at FamilyMart or 7-Eleven.

    -The location is very convenient, as it is situated directly above/below a Family Mart. If you're looking for breakfast or a late-night snack, you can simply step outside to the Family Mart right beside you. -Next to the homestay, there is a gazebo where you can enjoy beautiful sunset views. -It's very quiet and peaceful here; there's no noise pollution -Overall, the cleanliness is good. -Wi-Fi is provided, but the connection is slow. -Have water dispenser at staircase

    The only real issue was that the stairs in the room were really dangerous. The railing at the top didn't extend ask the way to where the stairs themselves were, so there was a huge gap between the floor and the edge of the stairs itself. We just had to be extra careful, but I didn't like that.

    The homestay was right at the 965 Jiufen Old Street bus stop, which was so convenient! The staff was very helpful, I had trouble with Line, and he was quick and responsive. The room was cute, and clean and was a great place to stay for our time in Jiufen.

    Checking at 16:00 is so late! 17:30 already dark and the room was not ready before 16:00. To Breakfast is really bad.. it was saying included and we found out we get a 50TWD coupon to be used in 7Eleven - you can buy nothing with 50TWD..

    View is amazing! The stuff was very nice and provided us refrigerator to the room, it was very helpful.

    The family room that we booked was a bit hard to find and there were many stairs leading to it. However we were greeted with a spectacular view. The double room was small but clean

    Situated right near the Jiu fen old street. Staff was helpful.

    You have to be careful in checking your booking, otherwise you may get a mixed gender room. Everything else is great.

    The manager was very friendly and approachable. Even gave me free breakfast soncd I stayed there on my birthday. The house is just a few minutes walk to Keelung Mountain and across the street from Jiufen Market which makes it so accessible. Will definitely be back.

    If you're going there by private car, there is no where to drop you off near the homestay. It's rather inconvenient.

    It is located nearby Jiufen old street, just above family mart

    Bed was too hard. Breakfast never came even after we waited until 8.30 AM (but there is 7-11 within walking distance, too, so is fine). The screw to keep the hanger for the shower head seemed to have broke for a while, but not fixed.

    Location, walking distance from the night market and near to a nice viewing spot. Have clean room, towels, etc.

    For the breakfast, we had ham sandwich which is a bit hard and an ice tea. would be better if we can have hot coffee.

    The location is very accessible.. There is a family mart right outside the door. The view is good.

    The hilly walks. Be prepared for that.

    Location was excellent. There was a Family Mart as you come in. That was a highlight with the kids. We could get anything we wanted at anytime. The view from the corridor outside the rooms was great. It was just up the street from the attractions - roughly 2 minute walk. The bus drop off was about 5 minute walk away. In terms of location, it was great.

    The building is a little bit old and the drain water from the air conditioner is in the bathroom, which is a bit disturbing. Nonetheless, the room is clean enough for a comfortable overnight stay.

    The view from the room is fantastic! And the seats near the window are super cosy. The location is very convenient and is just few meters away from the bus station.

    If I could make a small suggestion, I would recommend a small reading light next to the bed, to save electricity and have more privacy in the evening. Also, being sent a photo of the entrance door on the day of check-in might help other non-Taiwanese speaking visitors, as I arrived at night and Google Maps sent me to the back entrance down the hill (with my luggage) and there is no English sign and I don't have a SIM card to call for help. Finally, I slept longer and picked up the breakfast (ham toast?) from the drawer in the common area 2hrs later. By that time, a lot of small ants were crawling all over it...

    I had a great stay in my room, it was lovely to sit at the window and enjoy the great view while having a snack! The location is very central, next to a Family Mart and only a short walk from Old Street and the bus stops in both directions. The bed was very comfy and I liked that there was a small fridge.
