So far the best hostel in my four weeks in Taiwan! - Very nice staff -very clean and comfortable beds and bathrooms -good common areas inside and outside -fridge and drinking water -Supermarket, several convenience stores and many restaurants very close by. -Bus stop very close Two sweet dogs! The black one is very trusting and the light one is a bit shy at the beginning and should be treated with caution :) but you will be informed about that at the beginning! Even my very spontaneous decision to stay an extra night was no problem. Highly recommended!

Perfect location & friendly staffs. Really like the concept that it is combined with a bar where you could just chill there in the evening. No breakfast provided yet in the hostel, however there's plenty of food you can choose nearby.

The property is situated 10 km from Maobitou Park, 12 km from Chuanfan Rock and 16 km from Sichongxi Hot Spring. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests.

The hosts were super flexible in my dates because I kept changing them. They were friendly and helpful but they are not around that much which makes sense because they have a baby. The hostel is super comfortable!!! If you have a bike it’s easier to move around. It is not in front of the sea so you have to ride the bike for 15 min to get to the closest beach. It was clean. It has a kitchen and a common area very comfy. They will help with whatever you ask.

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.

    Dorm room made out of separate bedroom cubes. Simple and clever design, felt a bit Japanese. Quite some privacy created. Air-conditioning in the dorm and desperate fan for each cube. The toilet and shower are decent and clean enough towards hostel standards.

    Top bunk capsule is spacious and has a high ceiling (unlike bottom bunk capsule which seemed like a coffin!). Light and plugs and even shelves. Decent shower. Quirky and rustic. Definitely not modern but this hostel has character. Great location on the Main Street. Owner is friendly.

    Very cheap and good value for money. Even in the 10 bed dorm you get your own "cabin" so you have a lot more privacy than in other hostels. The owner speaks English very well, is kind and will help you with anything, e.g. you can rent a scooter in house which is very convenient. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are up to standard. You can use the washing machine for free!

    The hostel has a great location, right next to the bus station, the bed was separated from others by walls and a curtain so there was privacy..I like the second floor with the cute paintings on the wall. I also liked the friendly cats on the property. The manager was kind and helpful. There was shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom for shared use and a hairdryer, There was an anti-mosquito electric diffuser. If you have your own sleeping bag and a towel, it's a good value for money.

    It was one of the best hostels/hotels I staid in for a long time. The owners are extremly nice and caring, eventhough i dont speak a lot of chinese, i felt like coming home. All rooms are very clean, breakfast is very yummy (and included) and there was an amazing quality for money. I would recommend it to everyone going down to Kenting. Will defintly be back!

    Really good hostel run by a family. It’s modern, spotless and comfortable. The couple is adorable and were so kind to me even if they were not speaking English. Amazing breakfast, free laundry, an intercity bus stop is 1 minute away, the bus station of Hengchun is 10 minutes away. The bed was confortable and there was enough space in the dorm.

    Family owned/managed hostel in the quiet village of Hobihu in Kenting. The owner was friendly and accommodating. Daily breakfast was provided and it’s delicious. This hostel is suitable for those doing scuba diving in the area as most dive operators are close by.
