Location was really near the Taichung main train station. Area is city compared to other parts of Taichung. But it is far from the places I wanted to visit (ie Gaomei Wetlands) But is on the same street as Miyahara so that was good. It was near Yizhong night market but Fengxia night market was super far. Room was industrial japanese feel, clean and comfortable. There is a safe for keeping stuff. I like the fact there are 'windows' into the common corridors, made it less claustrophobic. I love the room journal by each bed. So lovely to read and connect through each visitors' entry in the journal. Common areas are cute and comfy. Shared toilet was clean and sufficient. Wished for more hooks and hangers though. I love the roof terrace. It is like a dream separate from other places. I love the swings on the top tier. Kitchen on 12th floor only, it was clean and beautiful. Breakfast of toast & jam is free and sufficient. I really didnt fancy the breakfast $50 coupons to be used in surrounding shops (10-15mins away). I used the coupons to exchange for the popsicles the front desk was selling. It was healthy tasting popsicles.

The interior decor and style of this hostel was immediately pleasing and soothing to the mind. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were many viewing spots where one could relax and enjoy the views of the city. The kitchen diner was very well laid out with plenty of plates bowls and mugs. There was a good selection of free coffee and teas. Breakfast was white bread with the crusts removed with butter and jam. There is a cold water dispenser outside the bedrooms and umbrellas are available at the elevator. There is a small safe in the bedroom for your passport and everything else sits on the floor. There is air conditioning and the sound proofing was excellent. Although I shared the bathroom with a guest in the adjoing bedroom I never saw her.

3rd time there in 2-3 years. Love the big open kitchen, bed rooms, large common areas, ambiance. Felt like retreat every time for me. The shared rooms has great privacy, safety and comfort compare to other hostels with 4-8 people sharing a room. Nice that I am sharing a bathroom with only one room mate. I have also tried the 3-person room, has a couch, clean and comfortable, great for family. Very conveniently located either by train or long distance bus with only 4 min walk. I love the common areas in both 11th and 12th floor, great to relax, hang out and work with laptops. Large windows and great view.

I didn't expect that the backpacker`s room is equipped with only two beds with a long proper curtain for each one to keep the privacy. The lobby is clean and bright where visitors can enjoy the free brakie or use the kitchenware freely(users are required to clean up afterwards). The floor-to-ceiling windows at the lobby provide a broad view of the Taichung station square. It's a great start of the day to sit by the window and enjoy the free brakie in the warm sunshine. I really love this hostel. Hence, the lovely staff are very friendly and helpful. 😄

Absolutely the location, right opposite the train station, close to Taroko Mall located behind the railway station with Carrefour supermarket open 24 hours, Starbuck coffee shop and loads of eateries and the new and modern shopping mall called Lalaport can also reach within 15 minutes walk. The pantry is neat and orderly with table and chairs with a nice view over the railway station, clean and functional, the roof top is nice to chill, all in all very satisfied with this hostel.
