Owl Hostel Reviews

🌲 Step into the legend of the Thao guardian spirit: Sun Moon Lake Owl Boutique Inn * **Unbeatable Location:** Just a **1-minute walk** to Ita Thao Pier and Old Street. Craving wild boar sausage or Assam tea? It's right downstairs! * **Connection to Thao Culture:** In Thao legends, the owl is considered a sacred bird and guardian spirit. The inn is adorned with various owl decorations, adding a playful yet tasteful touch throughout. * **High Value Boutique Feel:** Although it's categorized as an inn, the interior design is minimalist and stylish. The wood-toned spaces offer a truly relaxing haven after a long journey. Despite its location in the bustling old street area, the soundproofing is surprisingly good. The amenities provided are also very generous, giving you the impression of staying in a high-end hotel. **3. Rooftop Common Area** This is the inn's hidden gem! The rooftop features a lounge area with panoramic views of Sun Moon Lake's scenic beauty. Grab some delicious treats from the old street, bring them up, and enjoy them with a cool breeze and lake views – that's how you truly vacation. ### 💡 A Few Tips * **Parking Information:** As the inn is located in the old street area, parking directly in front is not possible. It's recommended to call the front desk beforehand, and the staff will kindly guide you to their affiliated parking lot. * **Breakfast Experience:** While the breakfast here is simple, the ingredients are fresh, and you can really feel the thoughtfulness of the owners. ### 📍 Inn Information * **Address:** No. 82, Wenhua Street, Riyue Village, Yuchi Township, Nantou County * **Nearby Attractions:** Ita Thao Pier, Sun Moon Lake Ropeway Station (approx. 10-15 minutes walk), Shueiwatou Trail.

The location and environment are great, and the locked door made me feel very secure. The front desk service was excellent and patient.

The room was clean and quiet, but it was a bit of a climb to get to. The bathroom was also clean, and the toiletries provided were decent, though there was no bath towel. You had to rent a bath towel for 50 baht.

Super clean, reception spoke great English and were really friendly. We left our bags just outside of the pod but no one touched it so it wasn’t a problem.

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.

It was cute and placed really well. Although it is a hostel there was a lot of privacy. The shower could have been a bit bigger it was difficult to shower and change in the same space. Very Nice and helpful staff

The room is clean and quiet. But the night life there is boring.

The room was tidy. Cool chill places in the hostel. And every night people making music. Nice staff

Very comfortable small private capsule, just enough to put luggage and still not feel too crammed. Everywhere are clean, including the bathroom. Customer service was great, very informative on the activities around the area (with diacounted prices). Location very close to the shopping area with food and the pier :)

Very good hostel for short stay, good for solo trip too.

The room is very nice and private although it's a hostel. Friendly staff.

Wonderful service – the lady on reception was so helpful and friendly throughout my whole stay! The individual cabins are a great size, bathrooms were lovely and clean. Kitchen and common area are great. Just a note that you have to pay a small fee to rent a towel. Recommend 👍🏼

Safety and secured. Also the rooms are clean. The bathrooms are very clean.

This is the cleanest and most modern hostel I have been to. Super high quality, very private beds and clean baths. The only downside is that if you travel by public transport you need to take an extra bus or boat to get there. The extra 30min travel is in most cases worth it I would say! Staff is also amazing, they gave me free food from their party🫶
