I stayed in the hostel for 3 nights and really liked the general vibes. Everything was clean and modern, spacious bed, AC in the room, clean and "comfortable" showers, great common area with eating space + chilling area + meditation area. Also huge plus for the cute smiling cute and the kind staff! Also good location, in the middle of the main attractions points and just next to bus stops (also lots of shops around, with a 7/11 in front).

The curtain on my bed didn't close all the way (did put my towel on the left). Nothing major though, and I didn't get bothered at all (was on the far left of the dormitory).

The hostel is taken care of really well. Everything is clean and well organized. The communal space is big and has a lot of seating available. The shower had a lot of pressure. The bed was comfortable but because I am quite tall I did feel somewhat cramped. Free breakfast was very basic but it did the job. Location of the hostel is good.

My dorm had no window so I really disliked being in a box with an A/C blasting. Water from the potable water faucet was quite lukewarm. Hostel did not have a travel vibe at all. Only people working on their laptops at night. Not anyone trying to socialize. Did not like the fact that there were fish near the reception in very small fish containers. They do not belong there.

The room is clean, spacious and full of amenities. It located in a modern building with 8 floors. My friend and I stayed on 7th floor. We booked a mix of dorm rooms 1 week prior to coming to Taichung. The bathroom is spacious and convenient as well. My friend really liked the space of bathroom. What I liked most is the lobby with cafe pantry. We can have breakfast, cafe and work there. The view of the city is nice as well. The location is nearby many restaurants and places. We just walked around 400-500 meters (around 10-15mins )

Very comfortable beds, big enough with a curtain that gives you privacy. A/C working nice and well. Breakfast included, it's not that much (toast & butter) but they could give you nothing. Very big, comfortable and spacious common room/dinner area. Best showers.

A little far from the main points of interest of the city. Not a big problem as Taichung is not that big. The toilets need an urgent renovation, they might be clean but have seen better days. Some parts are broken.

Affordable price and it's great place for digital nomads, because the common area is huge and you can even buy coffee or some other drinks there. They also have pretty cool rooftop and free breakfast.

It lacks atmosphere a bit. The staff didn't seem much friendly, but maybe there was some language barrier. Anyways, if you are looking for a place where you can work during your travels or just a base for your exploration of Taichung city, it's great place.

Flexible check in times - arrived early and was allowed to collect the keys to the room in advance Spacious and comfy common area - managed to catch up with some work at the common area Overall cleanliness - slippers were provided to all guests, no outside shoes were allowed in the rooms

There was a stench in the bathroom on the first day of my stay - fortunately this was cleared up on the following day

Quiet hostel. Exceptional cleanliness and facilities throughout. Certainly the best hostel I have stayed in the last 10 years. Soap, shampoo, hair dryer in the shower. Towel drying rack in the balcony and shoe rack on the outside, free indoor slippers provided, good air conditioning, bedding done by staff, self service laundry, simple breakfast! Exceptional value for money! Can’t get better

All good

Clean, near to many food places, staff were very helpful, huge open space to rest and do work, laundry services available, high levels of security (key access to specific floors and rooms, male/female floor separation)

While the female bathroom was verbally clean, there was a persistent unpleasant smell in the bathroom.

a lot of food options nearby. Staff are friendly. Bed is comfy and a locker was given which is useful. Large adequate communal area and the area is cozy enough.

The breakfast option can be improved. Facilities are quite outdated. We need to remove the bedding sheet , duvet cover and pillowcase ourselves upon check out
