Nice hostel between airport and city center

I do not often give ratings, but this place simply deserves exception. The most cosy hostel I have ever stayed in (and there were many :)).Great location, close to the airport, with direct buses to city center and railway station, night market and convenience store right behind the corner. Quiet, clean, roomy, with well equipped kitchen. Superfriendly staff. Late evening check in and early morning check out was no problem. Budget price. Cool place to stay for backpackers, students, or just anyone. May be a bit tricky to find as it is invisible from the street.

Very nice hostel!! Clean, comfortable environment, have good facilities and good services, sufficient light, friendly and helpful staffs, such as warming home. Nearby night market and public transports, just 5-10 mins to walk. I will choose this hostel again if I go to Taichung in next time and must recommend to my friends.

稍嫌吵雜了一點！

環境清潔、房間也很乾淨、唯一小缺點就是其他的入住者頻繁的用力開關門、一直到快12點才安靜下來！希望大家能共同遵守規定，讓這個好的背包客旅店能永續經營下去！
