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.

    Amazing and lovely place in Japanese style! Be kind and wait for 15:30 to check in since they really need the time to prepare all rooms. Very calm, safe and simply impressive place with terrace and beautiful view at Jiufen and the ocean side. spacious room, very clean and breakfast is a big surprise for foreigners since with Japanese touch. enjoyed our stay from beginning to the end. they even offered afternoon tea 🍵 which we enjoyed with this beautiful view.

    - Great location- short walk to the main attraction street. However if you are travel from Rui Fang train station with luggage, it is best to take taxi as the hostel is located at the back of the mountain of Jiu Fen. The taxi will takes you straight to the main entrance. - Helpful and friendly host - Plentiful breakfast, tasty steam egg
