  Pleasant and convenient one night stay!

  Liked : The location is extremely close to the train station as well as to a lot of shops/restaurants and the night market which was very convenient! I also liked the value of the private room. It had everything I needed for a one night stay. Another plus was that they have coin-operated washer and dryer machines (you have to pay but I'm happy it was available for use and includes laundry detergent you can use). Even though the staff only spoke a little bit of English, they were very friendly to me and tried their best to help me! :)

  Disliked : No complaints, this stay met my expectations.

  I recommend this hostel is quite near to the chiayi station where you can take train or buses. The female room was a bit

  Liked : Location was quite near to the chiayi station. The room was clean and pillow and mattress were so comfy.

  Perfect for a layover before going to Alishan

  Liked : Very close to the train station and walking distance to Wenhua Night Market. Modern facilities.

  Disliked : They didn’t let me check in before the time even though the room was ready. The mattress was on the floor and was quite hard. I like a hard mattress but this one was a but extreme.

  Convenient place

  Liked : Easy self check in and very convenient location to stop off en route to Alishan.
  
  Room was comfy and there was lots of social space.

  Disliked : Everything was fine given the price of the room. With the futon bed the furniture could be better thought through to being ground level.

  Liked : I stayed here so that I could visit Alishan. It is in a great location. Very close to the train and buses as well as one of the night markets and some of the other sights in Chiayi. The room is quite small, but as a solo traveler I did not mind. It is a fair price for a private room and bathroom. There is no natural light in the room and the lights arent very bright, so it might not be a place you want to hang out, but this didn't bother me because I was out most of the day and only returned to go to sleep.
