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

．獨旅，背包客房型（房間模樣和網站所示相同） ．淋浴間和廁所 洗澡、吹頭髮、廁所都在房間內。對於女性來說很方便，但同時也會顧慮到是否會打擾到別人，即使時間不是在晚上10點過後。 因為都只有各一間而已！所以若旅人多的話，就要排隊，這一點就相對比較麻煩了。當然地下一樓也有提供10點過後的旅人使用（印象沒有錯的話是10點過後）若介意的人，比如想要便便或是洗比較久的，就可以到地下一樓使用。烘衣機和洗衣機也就在隔壁，有提供洗衣粉一小包。洗衣機兩台、烘衣機一台，每一台使用一次都是$50。可以在櫃檯換零錢。烘衣機真的會把衣服烘乾，超讚👍 ．個人置物櫃 個人置物櫃是在房間內，是在你的床位的旁邊。由於房間大小不大，當天入住的床位是六張，所以整體空間，可能是一般登機箱攤開來，就會吃掉走道的1/2了。加上櫃子有可能旁邊也是別人的床位或出入空間。在使用方面上，可能要稍微想一下要怎麼整理，不然就只好開開關關，或是乾脆都先不要關，整理好行李後再一次關上。提供給你們參考。然後置物櫃裡面沒有固定欄杆可以掛毛巾 ．個人床位 如果有自己個人的毛巾或是衣物想要掛，就只好掛在自己的床位。有兩個鉤子和2個衣架提供。 ．公共空間 很大也很多位置可以坐著休息或是吃喝東西。不管是一個人還是兩個人以上，都有很多位置上的選擇。因為當天很疲累，就叫外送在公共空間吃，還蠻享受的。最喜歡的部分是這個。 ．機車停車位 當天是平日，是下午4-5點抵達。有五個市區機車停格（ 不確定是否免費，因為沒有收到單子）住宿外面也有住宿本身提供的小空間（可以詢問管家） ✨✨整體來說，獨旅又是女性而言，是一個不錯的選擇。

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。

可圈可點

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
