Excellent Hostel

Everything about this hostel is great - the rooms are very nice (the aircon is incredible here), the shared spaces are huge and comfortable, and the staff are so kind. If you collect ink stamps, they also have some really cool ones alongside their business stamp. The laundry was also on the roof terrace where we could hang out clothes to dry. Everything you need in a hostel. If you come to Chiayi, please stay here!

Excellent!

We spent great fes days in the city and this hostel met exactly our expectations on the location, cleanliness, coziness (we had our own room) and equipment (kitchen and terrace on the last floor).

Good for a night

I like having my own room with my private bathroom. The open space common areas (basement, upper floor and rooftop) are really nice. I can see it's a really lovely place for a group of friends.

Ironic name, as it is anything but light

The location is very convenient, though Chiayi is a small and walkable city anyway. It was also a very cheap stay.

Clean and well located

Super clean bathroom, big enough single mattress, lovely rooftop and kitchen area, free water dispenser and tea bags. To reduce plastic waste, Taiwanese law prohibits hotels from giving single-use toiletries for free; these items are available for a small fee near the reception (and towels also).

Overpriced for what you get

We stayed at several guest houses/hotels in Taiwan and this was exceptionally clean and so immaculate. Maybe the place had been recently renovated. Good security, complimentary tea and water.

Nice hostel in Chiayi

Good hostel for budget travellers with common amenities like towel, hair dryer, soap, shampoo and conditioner provided. There are washing machines & dryers (for a fee) on the top floor. The location is convenient, walkable distance to train station and night market. I like that there are cabinets for individual shoe storage so the common area doesn’t stink haha and the slippers are sanitised every day

Great Location and good value for money

Perfect location, in walking distance to the train station, bus station, and night market, friendly and welcoming hosts. Nice roof top terrace and kitchen. The mattress/bed was pretty hard though.
