“The perfect inter”
The owner was exceptionally kind and welcoming. There were instant lights around the place which made midnight toilet visits super safe. There was recorded music playing, though not too loudly, and it was just the soft, bluesy stuff I adore !! It was in a super handy spot for onward travel. Multiple supermarkets, easy to negotiate traffic as a pedestrian. If I didn't have a tour to catch in Taipei in a couple of days, I'd stay longer.

“A Good Place to Rest before the next Cycle”
The staff was nice and allowed us to make use of the entire space. There was free use of washing machine and it helped that there was a lot of open space to hang my clothes. It reminded me of my grandparents' place, and I felt really comfortable walking around the space. The location is also near enough to enjoy food from the convenience store, or other stores. The room was cosy but because I had the fortune to stay alone in the dormitory room, I think it was not too bad. This was suitable for cyclists as they also allowed you to park the bikes indoors. Worth another stay.

“Felt like staying at the house of somebody's grandparents, lovely!”
There was this strong feeling that the elderly couple who runs it has put a lot of love and care into it, and that many people who have passed by, had a great time there!

The host family was very welcoming. Always ready to help and answer to our questions. The room had the AC, it's a game changer when you do bicycle and need a good night to recycle the energy. There is also a big common area protected from the rain. Great to feel the warm from outdoor without the inconvenience.

“A nice place to rest and live a local Taiwanese life.”
I spent Two nights and three days in Checheng, and these hosts were the best I could hope for. i arrived earlier than expected and they warmly welcomed me to eat lunch with them, which was delicious by the way. i spent the whole afternoon with their daughter who showed me some special places in Checheng. We ate dinner together, I felt like I was a member of their charming family. As I came for the Full Moon Festival they brought me with them to pray in the marvelous temple of Checheng. I really appreciated being involved in this cultural adventure. They were so kind with me. Thank you very much I really felt at ease. the next day they lent me the bike and I really had a nice day wandering in Checheng streets and roads next to the sea. The sunsets are amazing!

Definitely a gem of a hostel. Feels like an old-school backpackers spot. The owners are extremely kind. It's also very convenient for cyclists along route 1, or en route to Kenting park. Definitely wish I'd had time to stay longer. Beds are comfy, place to store bike, close to convenience store and restaurants.

Great location on the national bike route. Super well set up for people doing the round island tour. Its a real old school type hostel, beds were nice. Nearby to the beach, big temple, night market. Owner is a family, very friendly people. Lots of old photos on the wall of previous eras of guests.
