“Solo travel stay in Chiayi”
Fantastic beds, and surprisingly really spacious for a hostel! Loved the decor as well. The location being right beside the bus transit center is prime for getting back to the HSR, even if at the rear station.

“Home away from home.”
Spacious common area and superb kitchen and location were it's highlights. Free toast, spreads ,cookies , coffee and tea was also provided any time of the day. Bathrooms and toilets were very well maintained. Staff were very polite and helpful. Location was unbeatable, just opposite the rear entrance of train station. Px mart was at walking distance from the hostel.

If you are solo traveler it is really worth it to stay here. Place is nice, sitting right in the heart of Chia Yi. Railway station is right next to it, need any bus for HSR just go down you will get it. Fine place to stay, easy to access and transit in Chia-Yi is very easy.

“Best hostel I have stayed at in Taiwan so highly recommend!”
I loved everything. The staff, location, the room, the comfy and cool bed and the common facilities with everything you need (+free coffee and toast all day?!) Had the most welcoming check-in also when I got this lollipop from the little girl there.

The restroom and showers were well maintained and clean. The dorm has 10 bunkbeds, only max half of them were in use during my stay. The dorm was clean and ther was sufficient space for luggage not fitting underneath the bed.

“A great place for all.”
This property is great. I've stayed in hostels in Australia that are plain crap...Too expensive and bollocks service. This place is the opposite.
