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.

    Really great location just off of Formosa Boulevard. The hostel is relatively modern and the staff were friendly. The separated shower in the private room was something I appreciated

    - amazing view of the city from the double bed! 10th floor - double bed in 10 bed dorm was so comfy with such comfy bedding - great location centrally, near train station, right by metro on red line, really central and easy to get around - free juice in the hostel! - nice touches in the bathroom including toiletries and hair bands and cotton pads - best hostel that we have stayed in in Taiwan! - lockers in the dorm for valuables - enough space in the dorm (we only had 1 other person in there in the 10 bed dorm in March)

    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.
