Reviews of Kenting Heng-Chung Art Hostel

It's the very friendly and welcoming English speaking staff that makes this place. I think how much you like it depends on what room you have. I had a single room with shared bathroom, and it was unbelievable tiny, with a mattress on the floor.. I just fitted myself and my backpack inside. No chance to unpack anything, which is okay for ONE night. The room was spotlessly clean though, and had a shelf for charging and a little flap down mini table over the bed. Excellent lightening in the room. The central Aircon didn't reach the room too well. The common bathrooms were spacious and immaculate. Soap, shampoo and toilet paper was supplied, but no towel. Superb location right across the square where the buses are dropping you off. It's right along the old street, and 7-eleven is also on the corner of that square. U bikes are right in front of the door. There are some indoor sitting areas and a fridge and also a cold and hot water dispenser in the lobby. They let me leave my luggage for a few hours after checking out.

WiFi didn't work, have network, connected okay, no internet it said. No English sign for hotel name! I was literally standing 2 m away without finding it. No outdoor sitting area.....but the square outside has many benches.

Possible to rent a motorcycle at the reception.

All perfect for me!I can say that it’s a top 1 hotel for me so far in Taiwan! The boss and stuff are great! Sleep well, washing machine can use , really super helpful! Wish to see you soon !

Nothing

I found the property to quite nice. There is a washing machine and a small space to have dinner, the oven was a good addition. The beds are comfortable as well.

Overall, I didn’t have any issues with the property.

Very cheap and good value for money. Even in the 10 bed dorm you get your own "cabin" so you have a lot more privacy than in other hostels. The owner speaks English very well, is kind and will help you with anything, e.g. you can rent a scooter in house which is very convenient. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are up to standard. You can use the washing machine for free!

Unfortunately, there is no common area/cooking area so there is no place to get together with other travellers.

Beds provided with plug and light. Filtered water to refill your bottle, washing machine that you can use, a place to hang and dry your wet clothes, very nice location.

I arrived early in the morning, around 10:00h, by hitchhike from Taitung, after two days no having a hostel, just sleeping in my hammock. I explained this to the boss, asking him if, as a favour, in case he had any bed available, I could do an early check in. He said first that the beds were busy, and after that that I could do an early check in paying 100$ extra. So hi made me wait until 15:00h to do the check in. Overrated, the place and facilities are nice, but for this amount they shout include breakfast.

Location. Hard mattress and pillow. Staff.

Unstable and slow internet. Dust in the capsule.

Friendly staff, close to the bus stop.

1 The building was not kept clean: trash bins and bathrooms weren’t cleaned during my stay. They did not add new toilet paper when they ran out of it. 2 With the private rooms on the first floor, you shower in the same room as where the toilet is. They connected a shower head plug to the faucet, so the toilet will be completely wet after your shower. 3 The private rooms are a bit odd: you have to walk halfway through the building to get to the first floor where you find some cabins in which they put separate mattresses.

- Centrally located, a few steps from the bus terminal; many options of eateries around. - The owner is very friendly - The bunk bed is clean and comfy - Allowed to do the laundry for free

- Unsure if it is a consistent issue. The drainage of the air con made some frequent noise during my stay, and the temperature could not be adjusted and was too cold. I was aware of the issue in the middle of the night, and didn't disturb the owner. You may inspect it upon checking in.
