Hostels in Taiwan, China

If you encounter guests with poor hygiene habits, it can lead to unsanitary common areas, for example, toilets not being flushed or unpleasant odors in the rooms. I hope the cleanliness can be improved. However, the location is convenient, and there's a Pxmart and convenience stores nearby.

This accommodation offers excellent value for money and is very conveniently located near the train station. The building is situated in the middle of the area, so it might take a little time to find the entrance sign at first. Once inside, the elevator is on the left—take it to the 12th floor, where you’ll find the check-in counter on the left-hand side. Slippers are provided, and you’ll need to store your shoes in the designated cabinet. There are also complimentary snacks and a water dispenser available. Inside the accommodation, there are multiple rooms with bunk beds, along with large lockers that can fit bigger luggage. Each guest is provided with a large basket for clothes, a smaller one for personal items, and a cup for toiletries, which is convenient for use in the bathroom. The bathroom area is slightly compact, with around seven units that include both shower and toilet sections in the same space. There are also four washing machines and four dryers available, with usage allowed until 10:00 PM. Additional facilities include a vanity room equipped with Dyson hair dryers, cotton pads, cotton buds, and even nail clippers available for borrowing. There is also a pantry area where guests can sit and have meals. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for solo travelers or girl groups. However, if the property is busy, you may need to plan your shower time in advance, as the bathroom facilities can get fully occupied.

The hotel entrance is inside a Family Mart, which made it a bit hard to find. The facilities are quite old, but the location is super convenient – right downstairs you have a train station, taxis, and convenience stores. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. I also participated in a brownie-making activity, and it was a fun, hands-on experience!

It's close to Hualien Station, about a 5-minute walk away, but the entrance is not very wide, so be careful. Lockers with keys are available. The staff were friendly and all facilities were clean. There is a common space next to the reception, but it is not face-to-face, so it may be a little difficult to talk to other guests. My bed was a double and spacious, but there was only one power outlet, so I couldn't use the bed lamp and adapter at the same time.

Great hostel right in the main streets of ita Thao. The bus stop is just up the road and there is shops and small restaurants right outside. The staff were lovely and very helpful- always smiling and greeting us as we passed. The capsule was spacious for a double bed capsule with space to leave some belongings beside the bed. It had good A/C, was very clean and even has a small window which was nice. The bed was comfortable and it was secure with the key card lock. The dorms were nice and quiet. The floor had a lovely bathroom with good shower facilities. Lockers were big and fit all our backpacks. Also has a nice lounging area on the floor as well. The rooftop area seemed lovely if the weather allowed. Washing machines and driers were old and didn’t dry our clothes properly so maybe use the launderette in the town instead. The kitchen area was clean and spacious and has a massive tv. Little extras such as umbrellas outside, slippers for the room and the music area are an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here for your trip to sun moon lake. It is modern and great value for money for a hostel.

Location: You will need to walk up to 15 mins with the last part of the trail to be uphill. If you have heavy luggage, you will need to do some workout. But overall, it is located in the quiet area of the town and very peaceful. Around the corner, there's a 7-e convenient store. Room: Big and spacious, and very clean. To note that, the fridge is sharing among all the rooms in the same floor. Service: Good and excellent customer service. Breakfast: Decent but not entirely amazing.

I stayed for several nights in a 4-person female dormitory room. There's no separation by floor for male and female guests; both are assigned to the same floor. Therefore, the sinks, toilets, and showers are all shared. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded, and the facilities were regularly cleaned, so it wasn't inconvenient. It seemed there was a shared washing machine located deeper inside. Although the air conditioning in the room was on, it wasn't cool enough to be comfortable. Inside the capsule, there's only one Type-C charging port and one USB port. The USB port in my capsule was broken. There's also a fairly deep personal locker in the room, probably about 50-60 cm deep. Additionally, there was a small table in the room with an outlet for charging. The basic amenities provided inside the capsule include one small towel, a pack of tissues, and earplugs. If you add them on Line Messenger, they respond to your inquiries. I was very satisfied! My roommates were great, so we had a quiet and pleasant stay.

great amazing place to stay very clean and the owner is always ready to attend to your requests!

Great stay at Yilan Inspiration hostel. Stayed in a 4 person dorm, and it had it's own attached bathroom, and the room was clean. People at the front were also very nice. They checked in with us before we arrived to check when we would arrive, and provided instructions for the car. They don't provide towels for use. They do have some coffee and lots of books available. Thank you!

Highly recommend this cozy hotel! It's just a 5-minute walk from Chiayi Train Station, and close to the Tile Museum and Chiayi Art Museum. The front desk staff were super friendly, the bed was comfy, and the outlets and bedside reading lamp were perfect 👍. Next time I'm in Chiayi, Light Travel Hotel will definitely be my first choice!
