I recently stayed at a charming, family-run hostel located on Hai'an Street in Tainan, and it was an exceptional experience. The hostel's location is ideal, with easy access to nearby attractions and an abundance of delicious food options just a short walk away. One of the highlights of my stay was the presence of three lovely cats that added a warm, homely touch to the environment. The hostel itself offers great amenities, including a sundeck, a terrace, and a peaceful courtyard where guests can relax. The dorm rooms are thoughtfully designed with curtains, ensuring privacy for each guest. The owner and her family were incredibly friendly and caring, always ready to share stories, offer suggestions, and make sure guests feel at home. The owner, who is also a knowledgeable indigo dyeing teacher, brought a unique cultural aspect to my stay, making it even more memorable. The hostel also provided tea and coffee-making equipment, along with some snacks prepared by the owner. The tiled floors and tasteful decor complemented the overall cozy atmosphere. If you're looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Tainan, this hostel is a fantastic choice.

The property was clean and safe. The dorms were nice. I liked the design of the rooms. The beds were comfortable with enough space to lay my stuff next to me. The lockers provided were very secure. For my bed, the lockers were large enough to fit a small suitcase comfortably. There were enough outlets by my bed to charge all my devices. The curtain blocked light well.

Nice, refurbished apartment with modern interior and 2 dorm rooms. Everything was comfortable and clean. Tea, coffee and water for free. Kitchen available for use. Beds were a bit soft but comfortable, had curtain, light and power socket for each bed. 2 showers and 3 toilets (and 1 urinal) for 14 beds. Great, friendly, welcoming vibe with some long-term stayers. Nice roof top area. Great location near markets, restaurants, cafes and bars. Great value.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

Best hostel during my 16-day trip Taiwan. The owner snd the staff were kind and friendly, accepted me with great hospitality. They were flexible regarding leaving the luggage before check-in and after check-out. It’s a super clean place, everything looks brand new. Good location, close to the stations and easy to reach An Ping. It was a perfect choice.

Very friendly and modern hostel with a cozy, homely vibe to it. The common area and kitchen are quite spacious, great to hang out and meet new people. At checkin you get a map of local attractions, restaurants and night markets. One of the best places I've stayed in Taiwan. Would recommend to anyone.

The location was conveniently within reasonable walking distance to many of the main attractions in Tainan. The host was also very courteous and took extra time to provide information to alot of the local tourist locations. The hostel was indeed very quiet, the rooms are well sound proofed. The washrooms are very clean and well maintained and the host also was kind enough to provide a bowl of local fruits upon my arrival. For the price I booked it for, this really can't be beat.
