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.

Location, location and location. It’s about 3 mins walk from a subway station. And there is a huge park and a night market in the area, and I enjoyed the vibe as it’s very Taiwanese.

Looking for a hostel?

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.

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.
