Lovely & friendly landlady. She can speak english well. Good value of money if you're only staying for a night and going to a concert at Kaohsiung National Stadium. Close to a bus stop or just 30 mins walk away. Also close to Lotus Lake.

The location is perfect, right by Formosa Boulevard Station. I considered paying more for a hotel near the harbour but I'm glad I didn't. It's so easy to take the metro. The common room has a fabulous view! I sat there reading for most of one day and really enjoyed it. The dorm was clean and the AC worked well. The shower was easy to use, the toilets clean and there are separate bathrooms for men and women. I'd stay here again. A tip for others so they don't walk back and forth like me: the building isn't immediately obvious when you step out of the station, but there's a sign for the hostel in the lobby, so look closely at the doors. If you step back, you can also see the name on the building itself.

All hostels in Kaohsiung

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location and relatively cheap, less than 5 mins walk from the Sanduo Shopping District train station and pretty central to most places in Kaohsiung. The common area is pretty good, there’s tea and coffee provided and places for people to sit and eat or relax. There’s also a good sheltered laundry area on the top floor where you can hand wash and dry your clothes.
