    The employee of acceptance has no smiles.

    Breakfast is good. Seats are not that comfortable thou the environment is not complainable.

    Black spots on comforter under duvet a little questionable

    Beautiful and convenient layout. Laundry included and away from rooms. Lounge area to encourage discourse. Clean room in general. Went to this place after a horror story at a hostel nearby and it was great!

    Lovely accommodation. Great value for money. Free filtered water refill stations are handy. The cafe on the ground floor is great.

    Not a real hostel vibe, more a hotel, rather hard beds

    Nicest place we've stayed in Taiwan. It's so nicely decorated, comfy, the communal kitchen is out of this world, we loved it. Relaxing atmosphere, we decided to spend a few hours of the day reading in the library next to the kitchen.

    The hostel was PERFECT — the most beautiful eco-futuristic place I’ve ever seen. The shared kitchen was spacious and always tidy, same for the cozy lounge area, were we put a little drawing of ourselves on the wall. Our room was super comfortable with an amazing private shower. I loved the daily voucher (100 NTD/person) to try local specialties ! In short, nothing to complain about — I can only recommend it

    It has a minimalist feel. There aren’t any unnecessary accessories in the room. That may not meet everyone’s needs.

    The location is great, and the hotel is new and clean. The neighbourhood stores to use the breakfast vouchers are just as wonderful.

    I would have liked a few more comfortable chairs.

    This facility has lots of Publix space. The basement has a large modern kitchen, eating area, Japanese style reading room and a laundry. The first floor has a check-in area and lovely coffee shop. My room upstairs was small but nicely laid out and the bathroom was clean if somewhat small. Honestly the hostel far exceeded my expectations. He location was excellent; near lots of restaurants and a gather space for a small market-like open area with a fre musicians. I would stay there again and recommend it to family and friends. The staff was very friendly and helped me call a taxi among other things. The cafe had an excellent selection of coffees and teas but a very limited breakfast menu. However the food I had for breakfast was delicious and I ate at other places for other meals.

    We were soaking wet from our ride and even the room was readied, we could only check in at 3pm. Luckily we were able to use the shower on the ground floor and paid NT60 for 2 towels. Extra pillow costs NT50.

    The location is fantastic. The room is small, but it’s very functional. We were always warm and toasty in the room. Laundromat for NT40, free detergent and dryer for NT50 are available in the basement. They were nice to put up a tack outside our room so that we could keep our bicycles.

    Boutique hotel with a beautiful zen library and cafe
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Budget Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Lower floor, street facing rooms can be noisy, but it was okay using earplugs. When you checkout and leave by car from the closed parking space, they cannot open the parking gate for you from the reception, nor comes someone to help you, you need to take the card/key, exit the parking space, park your car at an illegal space or middle of the street and quickly return the parking card to the reception. This is was not a big deal but this process could be organized easily much better.

    Hotel looked very new. Beautifull social places on the first two floors: cafe, kitchen, laundry room, but the best is the zen style library. Rooms are small, but new, clean and well designed. Safe and closed parking offered for 100 twd per night, which is great as I arrived by car. Also new washing and drying machines in the basement, you can quickly wash your stuff with a few coins.

    The description said breakfast was included, which isn’t totally true. I received vouchers to use at multiple food places and shops. The voucher paid only for a portion of the breakfast. But overall it was acceptable
