Overall solid place to stay, everything very clean and well made. The only thing is that for a hostel it was lacking the openness and bustle you would usually expect, everyone kept mostly to themselves. If you greet people they don’t respond at all. Maybe it is local culture

キレイで快適なホステルです!

台南に行くといつも利用させていただいています。日本語を話せるスタッフの方が対応してくださることもあります。今回は英語での対応でしたが、とても丁寧で聴き取りやすかったです。 1Fの共有スペースが広くてとても素敵です!   ドミトリー利用ですが、それとは別に地下1Fにシャワールームとランドリールームがあり、そこを使えば他の方に気を遣うこともないです。 また台南に行く際には、是非利用させていただきたく思います。

整體來說非常精緻,很文青哈哈;大廳的各種廚房設施與回收都很完善,地下室洗衣間也不錯,與公用設備不錯。房間床鋪有點潮濕,與些許汗臭味,是唯一美中不足的地方。

第一次住背包客房間之分享心得

整體環境大致不錯,需要加強改善的有:1.晚上攤販會將桌椅置放在1樓外圍,伴隨著聊天聲音連二樓都聽得到 2.周遭無機車停車格,停車都停在一樓外面,但到晚上時因為攤販的客人機車也停那,造成無法停機車,需要自己再去周遭外面找....3.棉被真的很薄,因為房間開冷氣有些冷,若棉被要加厚還又要多收$100,所以只好穿外套蓋棉被睡覺
