I stayed here for one night to attend a concert at the Kaohsiung Arena and it was perfect! The staff were super lovely and spoke great English, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great the breakfast was. Would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Kaohsiung.

Excellent location next to Formosa boulevard station and Luihe night market.The room was very large, clean, bright, comfy and nicely decorated, with a sofa, a fridge, a kettle, towels and aircon. I did not use the common area. There is free tea and coffee. Receptionists are present 24/7 and all spoke English better than most people. I would stay there again. Excellent value for money.

I love this hostel so much! It has the best view of Kaohsiung city from the common area. One of the best hostels in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, it is conveniently located in the heart of the city with easy access to public transportation, night markets, bars, shops, 7/11 and restaurants in walking distance. The MRT Formosa Boulevard Station (Exit 1) is just opposite to the hostel. The dorm room I had was very clean and the curtains around the beds provided privacy. You also had lockers to keep your stuff, though it could have been a bit bigger. But it hardly mattered to me. The AC inside the room was super cold. However, the beds were soft and comfy (love that the comforters are thick since the AC can cool the room real fast). There's a kitchen, laundry machine, comfortable lavatory area, slippers, drinking water, and continuous supply of Tea / coffee. Unlike most hostels where you have to go up and down the stairs, this hostel also has elevators. But the best part is, this hostel had a huge common area with the best view of Kaohsiung city. I could just sit there for hours and watch the world go by. Well, it might make you wonder why I wanted to just sit there instead of exploring the city. Well, the reason was the typhoon which brought the city to a standstill. But it was an amazing 3-night stays and I would definitely stay here if I have the opportunity to come back to Kaohsiung again.

All hostels in Kaohsiung

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.

    Great location and relatively cheap, less than 5 mins walk from the Sanduo Shopping District train station and pretty central to most places in Kaohsiung. The common area is pretty good, there’s tea and coffee provided and places for people to sit and eat or relax. There’s also a good sheltered laundry area on the top floor where you can hand wash and dry your clothes.
