    The location is very convenient just opposite the train station. The single room I stayed was well kept with all necessity. Housekeeper service was good, she keep me updated with all the information needed in advance.

    If you are a light sleeper, then the noise from the outside vehicles will easily wake you up early. This is an unavoidable situation. With easy access to the train station, this is a disadvantage.

    The best thing about this hostel is the accessibility. You cross the Yingge station, and the hostel is just across the road. The next thing is the clear set of instructions that we received from the hostel about the self check-in and check out. It was very easy. The hostel has a peaceful atmosphere and has enough food stocked up if you are hungry at midnight. The room was comfortable enough. We had a pleasant stay.

    Would be nice if there were small shower rooms instead of combined bathroom/shower where the whole bathroom gets soaked. Dorms are dorms. Sometimes you're lucky and people are quiet; sometimes you get unlucky.

    No frills but clean and quiet. No cigarette smoke. There's tables in the common areas and self-serve food and drinks. The showers have plenty of hot water... though the shower heads are only about 5ft high so you have to do some contortions to use them.

    Located on opposite TRA station so that very connivence but quietly. I feel that the room and common areas are clean and comfortable. Because I came late, almost of restaurants were closed so that I asked custodian. He is very friendly to take me go around and introduce about Yingge. Only minus points is manager 🐶 named 財財. He was trying to ignore me even I just made a small conversations, doesn’t wanna working so that keeping looking out. But he is so cute so being acceptable. 🥰

    Having to wait until 16.00 to check in is a bit late. It's also strange that you have to use PayPal to pay. But they let me pay in cash up front instead because I don't use PayPal.

    Convenient location near TRA station. It was very quiet and clean. The staff let me wait inside until check in because it was pouring rain outside! They provide slippers and a locker with a key too.

    Was there on a bike tour and it was not far from the cycling route no. 1 path. Great convenient location opposite of the train station, some good places to eat nearby. The hostel is a very cosy place and I felt like at home. Room was spacious, very bright and top clean. There are also well kept public areas. Best place on my trip through Taiwan so far.

    To Fish hostel: Thank you for the stay last night. Everything was lovely. The reception was warm, and a nice cup of complimentary coffee and some lovely chit chat among a few of us in the reception area before finding my bed. The classical guitar music in the reception area was was also a charm. The bed was comfortable and ever was clean. I look forward to staying here again. My apologies any inconvenience, however, I forgot my bag of food in the front middle of the top shelf in the refrigerator. I apologize again the apple in that bag smells a little old. There is also a cooled sweet potato and a small bunch of cauliflower in the bag. Please dispose of the bag for me. My apologies and thanks again for the lovely stay at your place. Long live the Fish Hostel Yingge in peace and tranquility and wealth. Amen.

    Only 2 bathrooms with showers and toilets together Mixed dorm on the 4th floor, no elevator A bit expensive for a mixed dorm considering what you get - but there aren’t any others in the area

    Right across from the train station - can’t beat the location

    Sorry but I don’t think it’s run very well. There is no staff there a lot of time. Including when I arrived at 2pm. Had a very hard time just getting inside and dropping my luggage off (can’t check in until 4). Cash only. Room on the 4th floor steps only. There are a lot of better hostels around at this price range. Only stay here if you really want to be in Yingge for some reason (you don’t want to)

    A nice dog is there sometimes

    The room is too small for 6 beds and feels cramped. Tere is no ac only a fan, therefore it was too warm for me in the room. The toilet and shower are in the same small space so the toilet is often wet.

    The location is good, in front of the trainstation. Close to the ceramics museum and old street. Owner is kind and helpful. There is free hot and cold water and coffee and tea.
