Very nice place to stay. Host is welcoming and helpful. She spoke very good English, gave advice on places to visit and what buses to take to get there (easy to get around the city). It is also very nice to see the Lotus Pond near the hostel, especially at night when it is lit up. There is also a washing machine you can use, I was unsure how to use it, asked the host for advice and she insisted she would do the washing! Very kind and helpful. Room and facilities were very clean.

I stayed here for one night to attend a concert at the Kaohsiung Arena and it was perfect! The staff were super lovely and spoke great English, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great the breakfast was. Would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Kaohsiung.

Comfy bed (I had the double one), with a nice view over the city. The place is clean, quiet enough, lovely staff, and WiFi was strong (and with good signal in both rooms and lobby). Good value for money and good location (literally a minute away from MRT exit, with PX mart and 7-Eleven less than 5 min away)

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.

    Really great location just off of Formosa Boulevard. The hostel is relatively modern and the staff were friendly. The separated shower in the private room was something I appreciated

    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.
