Reviews of Navel Orange Hostel

It was ok.

Bed sheets were bad quality and created electrostatic electricity.

I appreciate the effort of keeping the space clean and functional without much management. Clean bed sheets.

The place is pretty outdated (tearing off walls, old bathrooms), there’s a weird smell entering the room - is kind of like a mold smell. The bed is small and you need to do all the beddings by yourself. For me as I had a long ride before and along ride next day, doing my own bedding, was just taxing my brain. The entrance pin pad was very hard to use. I couldn’t get in after at least 5 to 6 attempts. It would be nice if the place is renovated and newer, beds a little bit bigger.

Free washing machine use and free bikes to rent. Location close to the bus stop that takes you to the main station. Nice kitchen and common areas. Friendly staff. Very clean. Hair blow dryer available.

The beds are not very comfortable. If you have lower bunk bed you hear sounds every time the upper person moves. Mattress feels too old/soft. Bathrooms are a bit old but it was clean, I think that's more important. Not very social hostel but I think that's similar all around Taiwan.

Everything was great and calm, kind owner

No knife in the big kithen to cut my fruits

Cosy and clean place. Very helpful owner. Good value for money I paid

Slightly dated, you have to make bedding by yourself. Overall good place to stay in :)

A perfect place to stay

Clean, good location, free bicycle, and quiet hostel

The general cleanliness, the common areas including kitchen where you can cook, the comfortable (!) bed, the bikes and washing machine free for use, and free tea, coffee and snacks. It was pretty empty during my stay so a good place to be at the moment if you want to catch some deep sleep.

The walls and shower could enjoy a freshening-up, but that didn’t bother me much.

Owner was friendly, helped us move our luggages. The toilet was cleaned everyday. But maybe to be improved is the toilet’s dampness or smell. Other than that, very nice place to stay

Free use of bike made the 10 minute cycle to town centre easy... Free Laundry use. , Excellent wifi. Option to cook prepare own food in kitchen a big plus.. Free Coffee/tea and tasty small snacks .Drink dispenser.... Max very helpful host. It might be

The weather..lol

Large common areas that were comfortable. Great shared kitchen. Free bikes and laundry.

Location was a bit far from the city (but close to the park so at least that was nice). Beds weren't made, you have to do it yourself - this isn't such a problem but we only noticed when we came to sleep late at night and it was hard to do in the dark room and without making noise.

It is a beautiful hostel with everything you need and in case you need some support don't hesitate to ask the staff. They gave me some great tips and helped me with all my questions. You can borrow a bike to explore the city and its surroundings. It takes some minutes to get to the beach, especially if you walk but I really liked the location because it was quiet and easily reachable by bus.

The place is spacious, cozy, clean and fragrant. The owner was quickly available by phone. There are free cookies, coffee and tea in the kitchen. There are also colored pens and pencils for painting. Bicycles are also freely available. Due to an accident in which I lost my mobile phone, I had to stay longer. The owner accommodated me even without ordering and went with me to the store to buy a new mobile phone - this was so nice as without phone and language skills it was hard for me. The hospital for treatment is also very close :-) During my stay I felt as at home. It was quiet, clean and I had everything I needed. I fully recommend.

Super clean!

Shampoo and body wash 🤣

Very nice host. He provided me with good transportation arrangements and recommendations despite unexpected situations due to typhoon. Good facilities, especially free bicycles for ride, which is essential in Taitung.
