Awesome place - the host was super friendly and a great social vibe at the hostel (which obviously depends on who was there at the time). Free laundry, super clean, great location and a well stocked kitchen! Lockers are outside the rooms which was actually really nice for keeping things quiet in the morning and at night!

Set in an over 50 year’s old 4-storey building, 10 minutes’ walk from Chiayi Railway Station and Art Site of Chiayi Railway Warehouse, Chia Kon Hotel is located in Chiayi City. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The room was clean, tidy and relatively spacious! The decor around the entire property was so cute and felt very homey/family friendly. The room decor is very stylish and modern. The shared kitchen and dining area is really useful and was a nice touch! I wish more hotels had it. Breakfast is apparently included on weekends, but even though we stayed on weekdays, the staff let us use their jams and butter <3 The staff were lovely and provided us with ample supplies for our stay- water, little snacks, ammenities and were very responsive to our needs throughout the stay (including adding an extra nights stay on the day of the original check out when our plans changed). We are so so grateful. We had a very comfortable stay! The location is ~15 minute walk from Chiayi Station, and close by to many restaurants. It’s a good area.

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, close to station and night market. Very clean and comfortable. Coffee and (milk) tea free of charge. Breakfast is just toast with jam/peanut butter, but it is a nice extra. The hostel is especially spacious: the common area and showers are huge!

    It's very close to night market and there is a park across the street, people working there speak a little english. If you are traveling on a budget, it's very practical for the bus station as well. Good for one night stay if you are ok with more needing a cheaper, more practical and well situated place to stay and can live with less comfort and hygiene standards.

    Love what the owner has accomplished here. I've stayed in this type of capsule before and it's quite roomy. They're not very sound proof though so if you have inconsiderate neighbours who bang doors etc, can be noisy, Joint hostel areas are great, kitchen and bathrooms. They have towels and other things for rent if you don't have your own.

    The bunk beds are wide and have quiet head space to sit up comfortably. The women-only dorm and washrooms are protected with digital locks, which was extra helpful from the safety pov. The open kitchen and breakfast bar were really great esp if you are trying to catch an early bus to Alishan. The location is quite good by being within walking distance from Chiayi TRA station (TRA and not HSR... I made this mistake)
