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 liked how clean the rooms were, that there were towels, the bathroom was clean and the shower was separate from the bathroom which is easier for us as Americans. The location was perfect, right next to the Liuhe Night Market and the subways. The view of the street from the balcony was also breathtaking in the morning. The staff were very helpful and they spoke very good English which makes everything easier.

The place is conveniently located near Kaohsiung station (Red line) and Formosa boulevard (Orange line). There's also a night market nearby where you could buy food from and take back to the hostel lounge to eat. Hassle-free checkin.

Really clean, felt like it was very private with the layout of the room. We stayed in a female dorm and the security was great (need a key card to access everything) and there is a lounge near the room which we used and we’re grateful for. Able to leave luggage after check out and they have a washing machine and dryer which was very useful (they can provide washing detergent at the desk for small fee and we bought fabric softener sachet from 7/11. Would stay again.

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.
