Very Cool Hostel
Check in was relatively simple and the staff went through the procedure of describing the hostel and all the facilities. This hostel is converted from a second hand bookstore and the bookshelves have been remodelled and integrated with bunks. The interiors are amazing. Parts of the building look like a library.I stayed in one of the smaller dorms where the beds are arranged capsule style. I wish I stayed in open space because it looked so much more awesome. My bed had a private light, an electrical point and a USB port. The mattress was firm asian style, but comfortable. Each floor had separate boys and girls bathrooms. The second floor bathroom had three toilets and three shower cubicles. The toilets had Japanese style automated geysers. The bathrooms were super clean throughout my stay as were the grounds of the hostel. Overall, I had a super stay. The staff are nice and friendly who are ready to help with anything. The location is close to all the main attractions in the city and about a 20 minutes walk to Tainan Station.

La propretée de l'auberge est impeccable. Les pièces communes sont hyper jolies et les livres sont bien réels! Lorsque j'y étais l'auberge était très tranquile, alors dormir dans ub dortoir n'a pas été un inconvénient.
