Located only a 1-minute walk from Jiufen Old Street, On My Way Jiufen Youth Hostel offers beds in dormitory rooms with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.

It takes 3 minutes on foot from Jiufen On My Way Youth Hostel to Jiufen Old Street Bus Station, where guests can take a 10-minute bus ride to Gold Museum, or a 15-minute bus ride to Ruifang Railway Station.

I'm glad I didn't have to climb stairs / uphill to reach this property. The location is just perfect! It's in the old street area and you don't need to walk that for to the main crowd, but it's in the quietter side of it. The staff was also helpful and kind, they allow me to keep my luggage before and after my check in time.

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.

    Room was very large, as was the bathroom. Parking was on-site (although there weren't many spots). Host was very helpful and friendly using Google translate to explain facilities and how to get to the town. It's reached via a 5 minute walk so great location (very quiet).

    - 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

    Very welcoming owner, great location of the hostel, reasonable price and good little capsule to lay in. Rooftop views are awesome. Would be great to have a roof over the rooftop, so also in hot conditions it could be used as a common area.
