Reviews of Danke Hostel

Incredibly nice owner and staff. Provided helpful recommendations. Room and bathroom was clean and has everything you need. I had the room with a balcony facing the main street, nice views! Hangers provided on the balcony to dry your beach towel and bathers. It isn't noisy at all either. Towel included. You can rent snorkelling gear and water shoes from them. Water refill station is available. Location is great. Good value for money. Would come back and stay again :)

The entrance room door has some kind of frosted glass which means that light from the corridor will shine through and brighten up the room. As someone who prefers to sleep in complete darkness, this wasn't ideal.

Centrally located in town so it's walkable to the ferry and shops and restaurants. Right next to a 7-11 is very helpful. The staff are very friendly and have recommendations for rentals and restaurants and will answer any questions you have. The bed is comfortable and the AC is cold, and they don't mind you leaving it on when you aren't in the room. Free cookies in the lounge area were a very welcome addition!

When the shop below the hostel is closed you have to enter through a back door in an alley. It feels perfectly safe, but it can be difficult to locate your first time. The doors to the rooms are flimsy so there's not much security (but it's Taiwan, so everything feels very safe), but more importantly it doesn't keep noise out. The door on my room also had frosted/tinted glass so light from the hallway came into the room until I turned off the hallway light. The balcony door also let's in lots of sound, but has curtains to block the light.

It's a very likeable hostel which they could easily make much better with some tables and chairs on the rooftop. There's an indoor dining table. The room was clean and quite spacious to be one of those mattress on the floor rooms. Excellent attached bathroom with good lightning. Superb WiFi. Hot and cold water dispenser and a fridge downstairs. Washing machine, which I didn't use as I washed a few pieces in the sink. It dried up really quickly on the rooftop. Excellent location just up from the ferry and 2 min walk to 7-eleven.

Could have wished for a bench or table, or hooks on the wall in the room to put bits and pieces on.

position - staff

no place to put phone, keys etc

Lynn was very kind and helpful and I enjoyed our conversations. You can also rent snorkel gear at the hostel. There's coffee and water available. It wasn't too loud outside and I slept very well.

The room is a bit damp, but that's my experience for most hostels which are a bit older. I simply opened the window at night as there's also a mosquito screen attached. Unfortunately I couldn't get the balcony room, which made me a bit sad because I stayed longer than the other guests and would have liked a view and some daylight.

As the Danke hostel was full, they took us to another place across the Family Mart - so this review is about that place! It seems like an upgrade versus the Danke Hostel: comfortable bed, free coffee (beans) and a lot more modern in general. The staff was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Room and bathroom are a bit small. Also we felt that the amount of (speeding) scooters on the island is pretty insane, but of course that's not the fault of this hostel ;)

Great location, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful, she assisted us with everything, and prepared a motorbike for us to rent. Thanks for everything!

We stayed here for 12 nights because we were attending deep week, a freediving festival. The owner is super friendly and helpful, we rented a scooter from her as well. The room is simple but has all you need, some nice extra space to sort out our diving gear as well, and a big rooftop terrace to wash and hang our gear after diving. She also sells some pretty cool towels! The place is very close to the ferry terminal, and evehtough we were in one of the busiest streets, we weren't really bothered by the sound. Beds are very firm, my partner loved it, I had to get used to it but all good! Thanks a lot for having us! Sweet regards from your longest staying guests ever :)

Good location - close to ferry and street with lots of food and convenience stores. Helpful owner and staff - helped to book snorkelling and rent e-bike, shared tips on what bus to take when I'm travelling to my next destination, and even helped me return my e-bike when I had to leave early in the morning the next day.

Drinking water and coffee, and even sample packs of snacks provided free. Miss Jidan is friendly and warm, super helpful and helped us book a scooter (and helped us return the scooter as well) and water activities at short notice and at good rates. The TV had English & Chinese movies. The hostel has plenty of food options and a convenience store just steps away. It is just a short walk, after alighting from the ferry.

All was good

Great location, great manager, great stay.

I like the location of the place. the staff was very friendly and the price was very reasonable.

the WiFi was very unstable. most of the time my friends couldn’t connect to the internet.
