The location is absolutely stunning, first of all. But the two running the hostel are some of the nicest and coolest people ive ever met. They speak English well and theyve been so helpful with whats around the area as well as all around Taiwan. They have international power sockets too, which makes it easy to charge right away. And the breakfast was amazing!! I couldve eaten so much!! It was taiwanese breakfast (taiwan pancake, hoon pancake, soup, coffee/tea) and was worth so much. I highly recommend staying here and exploring the area! Or just relax at the beautiful hostel!

Set in a beautiful mountainside location, with a view of the sea and surrounding forest. Ann and Amy are brilliant, practically planning all of my days in Jiufen and cooking diet-specific breakfasts. The local buses and trains are easy and cheap and there are hiking trails just a walk away.

Just do it!!
Great spot, very welcoming hosts and full of lots of useful information. Breakfast was great and fantastic view!!! It’s down steps into it (150 or so) and the walk back up is fine as the step are in sections with flatter part between. Enjoy it!

とても親切なゲストハウスでした
老街まで徒歩圏内の住宅街の中にあるゲストハウス。母屋にキッチンとフロント、ベッドルームははなれにあります。古い建物ではありましたが、清潔に保たれていました。ベッドにカーテンがついていないのが残念でしたが、それ以外は特に気になりませんでした。スタッフの方がとてもフレンドリーで街の情報等をたくさん教えてくださって勉強になりました。ガラスルームからの展望が素晴らしく、朝ごはんはガラスハウスで景色を眺めながらいただけます。早朝は飲食店があいていないので、朝食付きは助かりました。
