Very Cool Hostel

Check in was relatively simple and the staff went through the procedure of describing the hostel and all the facilities. This hostel is converted from a second hand bookstore and the bookshelves have been remodelled and integrated with bunks. The interiors are amazing. Parts of the building look like a library.I stayed in one of the smaller dorms where the beds are arranged capsule style. I wish I stayed in open space because it looked so much more awesome. My bed had a private light, an electrical point and a USB port. The mattress was firm asian style, but comfortable. Each floor had separate boys and girls bathrooms. The second floor bathroom had three toilets and three shower cubicles. The toilets had Japanese style automated geysers. The bathrooms were super clean throughout my stay as were the grounds of the hostel. Overall, I had a super stay. The staff are nice and friendly who are ready to help with anything. The location is close to all the main attractions in the city and about a 20 minutes walk to Tainan Station.

La propretée de l'auberge est impeccable. Les pièces communes sont hyper jolies et les livres sont bien réels! Lorsque j'y étais l'auberge était très tranquile, alors dormir dans ub dortoir n'a pas été un inconvénient.

台南住宿首選

不論是地理位置或者是住宿的CP值,Book Inn都是首選,睡覺的床除了是跟書櫃一樣,讓人看了覺得舒服,也很扎實,不會有異音去吵到別人
