The Noise (Techno Music and Deep Bass) from the Building (might be a KTV or Pub, maybe other floor) could be heard whole night, so I used my Noise-cancelling headphones for sleep. (But my Sleep quality after I fell asleep still showed a high score, so I think, the bed helps also.)

I wouldn't complain the Hostel according to the Price with the Location, clear and clean Space and those helpful, nice and lovely Staffs, they also recommended a nice Vietnam Dinner that I really enjoyed.

Toilet doesn’t have bidet. Pillow could be better and firmer.

I like the proximity of the property to the train station. Bathroom is also very clean all the time. Staff were also very accommodating. Free tea and instant coffee. Room is spacious enough for a person with a luggage.

Very good stay. The Single room was comfy and perfect for a night.

It is located at 10th floor of one of the mall in Taichung.

Access to the hotel was not easy to find. The lifts in the building to the 10th floor where the hotel was located could have been cleaner. However, this was not the hotel's fault as they were shared by all residents/companies in that building.

1. Cleanliness of everything once I stepped past the hotel's entrance door. 2. Female and male clusters of rooms were clearly separated.

Stayed in November 2024

Cleanliness: The room is clean-ish. There's small bits of stuff in the cracks of the hardwood floor and in corners. Mattresses are free from bedbugs and no stains to indicate otherwise. It's not awful, but don't expect pristine. Washrooms are kept quite tidy though. ---------- Location: The location is a mixed review. It's nice because it's a 5 minute walk from Taichung station. However, the area north of TaiChung station is a bit grungy - quite a few homeless people and streets were a bit dirty. I went to TaiChung Park and ran into a few prostitutes and pimps, so try to avoid that area. ---------- Environment: The ambience is a bit okay. During the day has no AC in the lounge area. In the hallways, AC never runs, which is weird to a Westerner. So during September's 33C weather it meant no staying at the hostel during midday. This was a bit inconvenient sometimes, since a lot of places in TaiChung don't have AC.

Facilities: room lockers come with a key and lock. The lockers fit a standard Air Canada carry-on suitcase plus large Herschel backpack. Powder detergent and buckets are in the washroom, so wash your clothes by hand in the shower. ---------- Staff: 24/7 staff are awesome. They were very helpful with places to visit and drying my clothes and shoes during the typhoon. Thanks MingRu! ---------- Location: South of Taichung main station is nice. Go to Taroko Mall Sushiro. The best place though is the Teikoku Sugar Factory and Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport. This mall has full AC, a huge food court with public seating, and so many shops and nice, clean toilets. I sat here for a full day and journalled because it was so hot. I sat there with a bubble tea and overlooked the city of Taichung via the top floor food court. The hostel is located in a mall with a lot of Vietnamese/Thai food stalls and tourists. It's cool because it feels like Vietnam/Thailand. ---------- Social: I had a great time meeting people. It's mainly working Taiwanese folk and since my Mandarin (self-taught 2nd language) is okay, so I could chat with others. However, if you can't speak Mandarin then it could be tough talking to people. Also, since it's mainly working folk and the lounge area has no AC, don't expect it to be a social party.

Good location just 5 minutes from the station.

- I think it is okay for short-term stay

- Location is great (super near to the station) - I reserved a private room (which is pretty small)

Old building with old elevators.

Transportation hot spot, very convenient. Clean and tidy, very quiet

Stayed in August 2024

At night, you can hear comparatively loud noise/heavy beats from other floor(a night club/karaoke or sth.) Definitely not recommend for the visitors who are sensitive to noises.

In the experience of all the hostels I have stayed in, the cleanliness here deserves relevantly high scores. (not only for the sleep area, but toilet&bath area) Plus, location is good for taking buses where a bus stop is right in front of the building

Stayed in June 2024

Close to main train station and 2nd market. Good price. Helpful staff

Stayed in May 2024

On Saturday night, can hear a little bit of noise from the discos and KTVs in the building, which could be a problem if you're very sensitive to noise while sleeping but they provide free earplugs. No breakfast offered anymore.

Hostel, dorm room and beds were all very clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful and accommodating and spoke some English. 24hr reception. Luggage storage before check in and after check out. Free water, tea and coffee. Large enough communal area to sit, chat, play games or eat. Had facilities for heating up food and fridge to keep food. Very nice bathrooms with lots of showers. Towel and toiletries provided. Gender separated for rooms and bathrooms. Located 5 min walk from train station in ASEAN Square mall so feels like being in SE Asia!

Stayed in March 2024

Yes i like it

Stayed in February 2024

Not a lot of character, on the 10th floor of the Asean Square mall. The building entrance and elevator are bit run down, but the hostel itself was clean and comfortable. There was no breakfast, maybe this is only included when the hostel is busy enough? It was quite quiet when I was there.

Good location, very close to Taichung station. Towel, and even toothbrush and a bottle of water was included, and the showers are great. I was also able to borrow a plug adapter from reception.

The shower area didn't have hooks to hang clothes and towels. But not a major negative. But it's an easy fix.

Cleanliness, modern, neat

It is below a night club , this is not stated. It is very loud for sleeping time.

Price Staff Clean 24/7 reception

clean in common area and room

Stayed in September 2023

The curtain of top bunk is not high enough to block the light.

The location is good. Very close to train station. Clean and comfortable. The locker is big enough for luggage.

Stayed in August 2023

I didn’t think it’s value for money, quite expensive for a dorm.

Good location, situated near the train station. Provide free breakfast and even ear plugs in a dorm is such a wonderful thought. And the curtain on the bed provides much needed privacy.
