It's very close by the main street and surrounded by lots of food which is amazing but the room's sound insulation effect could be better, we keep hearing staff are laughing and yelling, we can understand it's a good work environment, but it's hard to fall asleep.

Comfortable, value for money.
The staff were really nice and friendly. My room had 3 double deckers for 6 people and had a bathroom. It was nice. Value for money. The free breakfast is at a stall which serves Tainan local food but just be aware that not everyone will like the taste of the food. I particularly liked the common area/kitchen. It was huge and nice.

睡不好
房門很重需要很大力地推開，進房有個人B卡感應置物櫃，簡單的分離式衛浴，我是睡上下舖，下鋪離地板很靠近只有幾公分，還有枕頭太軟、床墊太單薄，最重要的睡眠品質不優。

Its a nice hostel, very new and clean and comes with a toilet and bath area for every room of 6. However sometimes the room can be quite noisy if you are unlucky and meet travelers who snores loudly when sleeping.

Value for money!!!
Very good location. A little misleading on road name, but look for number 309 on You Ai road. Nice living area and well thought out for tourists. Breakfast is filling but don't expect too many variety - bread and toast is good

キレイで快適なホステルです！
台南に行くといつも利用させていただいています。日本語を話せるスタッフの方が対応してくださることもあります。今回は英語での対応でしたが、とても丁寧で聴き取りやすかったです。 1Fの共有スペースが広くてとても素敵です！　　 ドミトリー利用ですが、それとは別に地下1Fにシャワールームとランドリールームがあり、そこを使えば他の方に気を遣うこともないです。 また台南に行く際には、是非利用させていただきたく思います。
