Reviews of Gift Box Hostel

Loved this town. Loved this hostel. Owners fabulous. Really clean. Showers great. Lovely Towel upon request. Dorm size is great. Very quiet. Walking distance to the fabulous Dupo Pond area and 12 min walk from station. Some great places to eat.

Being picky as it seems usual in Taiwan, but the thin/very firm mattress. So hard like sleeping on a board. My bottom sheet didn’t stay put, every time i turned it became rumpled.

-Sasa and Momo were extremely helpful, and it felt like staying with family. -Short walk from train station, close to Dapo Pond. -Good AC. -Good WiFi. -There's a cat!

-There were only two showers on the floor and one toilet (the sinks were only in the showers). However, there's another shower on the bottom floor. -The cat isn't friendly ;(.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They gave us information on where to rent your bikes and also great food recommendations! Also, I forgot something at the hostel and they shipped it to me without a problem. They are amazing!

The locks on the bathroom doors and showers did not seem to work.

Absolutely love this hostel! One of my favourites in Taiwan so far. - The room is spacious (unlike many other hostels where it’s so cramped and barely any space for things), this one has so much space in between the beds. - The hostel is exceptionally clean. - There’s a cosy area with sofas downstairs to chill and can watch movie on projector. - A little kitchen area can make free tea and coffee. - the staff who work here are so kind and friendly and helpful, and they have a cute cat!! Overall love it here, feels more homey than a hostel.

Liked everything!

Kind staff, booked an e-scooter through them, which was well arranged, very close to the night market and two beaches!

The staff were great, the hostel was amazing, really enjoyed my time here.

Perfect stay

Nothing

It was close to a 7-11 where i could buy my breakfast. There was a cute cat. The communual area had a nice feel to it and there were tables where you could eat, drink tea or do research on your laptop. I came to cycle around the paddy fields and see the memorial garden and I really enjoyed that experience. Chishang is a nice town. I enjoyed dinner at a nearby Vietnames restaurant. I walked the length of it several times by the time I walked back to the station to hire a bike, return the bike and do my laundry at a coin operated laundrette near near the station.

It was noisy at night with another group of 3 guests in the dorm room sorting their stuff and talking until 1 am and then up at 5 am to get ready for their epic ride/hike and also going to the toilet during the night that was just off the bedroom and flushing it. No soundproofing between toilet and dorm room. The spin dryer next to the dorm room ( no washing machine ) was available to use anytime so that was on late at night and early in the morning. The other guests seemed to do their laundry in one of the two the showers out in the hall way so it was a bit of a wait for a shower to be available. The two showers were shared with another dorm room on the same floor. The spotlight on the bunk bed next to me shone right through the cracks in the planks separating us lighting up my sleeping area until way after midnight. Ive slept well in many hostels all over the world but I did not sleep well at The Gift Box.

Stylish hostel and very pleasant owners

Too expensive for the single room considering the quality.Photos of the big room did not correspond too well

Lovely place to stay as a family. Great facilities and spacious and clean rooms. Great host and a lovely area.

Very nice hostel, friendly atmosphere

Good vibes, people watching Netflix downstairs, great staff and we had a place to park our bikes. The double room is huge!

The host is very kind and the bed were confortable

nothing

The host cum owner was super cool

Very clean and very practical! I felt at home, I really loved it and the owners are really kind.

Homely and cozy hostel with a nice common area at the entrance to watch tv/read a book/play with the cat. The dorm room is large enough not to feel cramped. Toilets and showers are very clean. Staff is helpful, speaks good English and gives local recommendations.

Location is a bit out of the Main Street, it takes 10-12 min walk from the train station. Bed mattress is thin and doesn’t offer much support.
