This is my second time staying at Ahiruyah, and I’m even more impressed than before! The hostel is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The common area strikes the perfect balance—it’s a great place to socialize, yet there are also cozy spots to relax with a book or enjoy a movie in peace. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the train station, with plenty of transportation options to explore Kaohsiung easily. I’m already looking forward to returning one day!

Lovely & friendly landlady. She can speak english well. Good value of money if you're only staying for a night and going to a concert at Kaohsiung National Stadium. Close to a bus stop or just 30 mins walk away. Also close to Lotus Lake.

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.

Excellent location next to Formosa boulevard station and Luihe night market.The room was very large, clean, bright, comfy and nicely decorated, with a sofa, a fridge, a kettle, towels and aircon. I did not use the common area. There is free tea and coffee. Receptionists are present 24/7 and all spoke English better than most people. I would stay there again. Excellent value for money.

The hostel is very clean and has a great common room to hang out. The staff was very nice and helpful. I recommend you to take the Exit 9 (beware it has only stairs no escalator) when you arrive at Formosa Boulevard. The nightmarket is also around the corner.

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.
