Hostels in Taiwan, China

Overall, it was decent. The location is very convenient. My first impression was a little off because the mattress looked a bit old, but after checking, I found it was clean, so it wasn't a huge issue. The mirror above the sink was also a bit too small. For breakfast, I went down a bit late and there was hardly anything left. I hope these points can be improved.

This place actually exceeded my expectations significantly. I was just looking for a safe, cheap, and conveniently located spot to crash for a night, but it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable. First, let's talk about the location. It's super close to the station, so you don't have to drag your luggage around feeling like you're on an endless trek. There are convenience stores, coffee shops, and drugstores nearby, which is great if you need to grab something late at night or feel hungry. For someone who's tired of navigating maps by the end of their trip, the location is a huge plus. The area is bright and lively at night when you're heading back, which makes a big difference in feeling safe. Next, the ”female-only” aspect. I initially thought it was just a gimmick, but it really does make a difference once you've stayed here. The overall environment is quieter, and you don't have people talking loudly in the middle of the night or feel any strange staring. There's keycard access for entry and exit, and floor management seems quite thorough. The showering and makeup areas feel very comfortable to use, which I think is really important. The room was much cleaner than I expected. The mattress wasn't saggy, and the blanket didn't have any weird smells. While the space obviously can't compare to a hotel room, it has everything you need: sufficient lighting, power outlets, USB charging, and storage space. I was worried the room might feel stuffy, but the ventilation here is quite good, so you don't feel like you're ”packed up and ready for shipping” when you sleep. The public facilities are also well thought out. The showers are clean, the hot water is consistent, and the hairdryer isn't one of those weak models that leaves your hair wet after three minutes. The lighting in the makeup area is excellent, and many women use it to do their skincare and hair without bothering each other. Some amenities are also provided, which is very helpful if you forget something. The common lounge area feels like a small co-working space. Some people are quietly on their phones, others are planning their itineraries, and it's not too noisy. The Wi-Fi speed is stable; at least, I wasn't frustrated while watching shows. Of course, it has its limitations. The soundproofing isn't perfect like a hotel; you'll still hear luggage being moved and doors opening/closing. If you're a very light sleeper, I'd recommend bringing earplugs. However, for this price point and overall quality, I think it's excellent. Overall, this place is great for solo travelers, short trips, or anyone just looking for a safe and clean place to stay overnight. It's not a luxurious accommodation, but the details that matter are well taken care of. In a way, after staying here, you'll think, ”Capsule hotels have really evolved into this!”

The hotel entrance is inside a Family Mart, which made it a bit hard to find. The facilities are quite old, but the location is super convenient – right downstairs you have a train station, taxis, and convenience stores. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. I also participated in a brownie-making activity, and it was a fun, hands-on experience!

It's close to Hualien Station, about a 5-minute walk away, but the entrance is not very wide, so be careful. Lockers with keys are available. The staff were friendly and all facilities were clean. There is a common space next to the reception, but it is not face-to-face, so it may be a little difficult to talk to other guests. My bed was a double and spacious, but there was only one power outlet, so I couldn't use the bed lamp and adapter at the same time.

Great location, super close to everything in Ita Thai. Rooms are SO SPACIOUS! I’m 5’4 and I could almost stand up in the pod. There’s even room for your bags next to the bed and the whole pod locks so you don’t have to spay for a separate locker. Staff are friendly. Everything is clean, especially the bathroom/shower room. There’s a kitchen area on ground floor and a rooftop. It wasn’t a sociable hostel really, but I wasn’t there for that so it was perfect.

Location: You will need to walk up to 15 mins with the last part of the trail to be uphill. If you have heavy luggage, you will need to do some workout. But overall, it is located in the quiet area of the town and very peaceful. Around the corner, there's a 7-e convenient store. Room: Big and spacious, and very clean. To note that, the fridge is sharing among all the rooms in the same floor. Service: Good and excellent customer service. Breakfast: Decent but not entirely amazing.

The check-in counter is separate from the actual accommodation, and it's a self-service check-in process. The room itself is quite spacious, and the 'space capsule' bed has a basic cable TV. Due to the material of the capsules, there's quite a bit of noise when guests enter and exit, but luckily, my fellow guests were very considerate and kept quiet all night. The bathroom and toilet are separate, which is good, but the shower water temperature was very difficult to control and the water pressure was quite low, making showering a bit of a challenge. Overall, it's a hostel with no major highlights, but no significant drawbacks either.

great amazing place to stay very clean and the owner is always ready to attend to your requests!

Great stay at Yilan Inspiration hostel. Stayed in a 4 person dorm, and it had it's own attached bathroom, and the room was clean. People at the front were also very nice. They checked in with us before we arrived to check when we would arrive, and provided instructions for the car. They don't provide towels for use. They do have some coffee and lots of books available. Thank you!

I love that this place is near from the transportation and tourist spot, everything is walkable. Aside from that the staff is accommodating. If you're more concerned with its safety this hostel is a best choice. Definitely a best hostel when visiting in Chiayi
