It’s not very often that I come across a hostel that checks all the boxes. This one is one of them. The hostel is centrally located, within a side street of the old street in Jiufen. Facilities are really good (showers, common room, terrace). The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, I felt like I was walking into a friends house from the first moment. The host helped me with the itinerary and gave me advice based on the latest weather forecasts. He also introduced me to other guests staying there to help us all get along. I would stay here again if I’m in the area.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great location, very quiet and far away from the hustle and bustle of Jiufen. Its in the nature, far from any big restaurant or 7/11. You wake up with the sunshine, green forests and birds singing. The host family is very nice. Highly recommended.

    - Great location- short walk to the main attraction street. However if you are travel from Rui Fang train station with luggage, it is best to take taxi as the hostel is located at the back of the mountain of Jiu Fen. The taxi will takes you straight to the main entrance. - Helpful and friendly host - Plentiful breakfast, tasty steam egg

    Very welcoming owner, great location of the hostel, reasonable price and good little capsule to lay in. Rooftop views are awesome. Would be great to have a roof over the rooftop, so also in hot conditions it could be used as a common area.
