Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Expedia's marketing message for this facility should be corrected at once. First, there is NO Cook-to-Order breakfast, not even one piece of free toast. No free breakfast is included, period. 2nd, there is no Nightly Social Activity as the facility claims to host every night free for guests. 3rd, there is no computer station to use as included in Expedia Amenity list. 4th, there is no Tour/Ticket Desk assistance as claimed. The lady was not even interested in helping us with the local transportation information. I made a decision to pay a higher rate and to accept the shared bathroom options instead of a few lesser expensive business hotels in the area, as I was truly looking forward to the Cook-to-Order Breakfast and the nightly social activities with fellow guests. I am expecting Expedia to compensate me for your false marketing information that led me to overpay my stay.

Great location near the TRA and bus station

Location of hostel was very good, closeby the front entrance/ exit of Tainan Train Station. It's entrance was WITHIN the family mart, with an orange door. Toilet was clean. You get clean sheets/ pillow case, for your stay. Under 3 minutes, there is a bus station very nearby.

When you exit the train station, the hostel is immediately on your left - there is a sign but you may miss it, but it is next to a motorbike rental place. To get to the toilet / shower on each floor, you have to leave the room and go down the open air hallway - this was a first for me. Just change inside the shower and you won't have to worry about other people peeping. Rooms are super large, with lots of natural lighting if you don't close the curtains. This can be a positive or a minus depending on the person.

amiable stay

amiable stay, first time in a hostel. friendly staff, friendly fellow hostel guests. the space is super convenient (next to main train station) and most places that a tourist will go are accessible by walking. had an interesting experience here, would stay again. oh yeah, it had a good (but small) communal space that had a small but well stocked library of local travel books (which i looked at for a few hours because i had jet lag) and a kitchen (which i did not use, but was there if you needed it)

駅からすぐ近いのがよい。

駅からすぐ近くて便利。シャワールームとトイレが一緒にあるため、誰かがシャワーを使用した後、床は水浸しで、トイレの便座は濡れているし、シャワーを使っている間はトイレに入れない。もう一つあるけど、二つふさがると大変かも？　でも、値段が安いのでGOOD
