Had a great stay at this lovely place! The room was clean, cozy, and the bathroom had a separate shower area, which made things extra comfortable. The location is super convenient for exploring Sun Moon Lake, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A big plus: you can get discounted attraction tickets directly from the host, but make sure to buy them between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Don’t miss the deal—it’s really worth it!

A bit tricky to check in but manageable. Bunk beds making some noises while moving from one side to another.

Great location. Private bathroom for the room. Affordable as for the lake area.

WhatsApp, LINE or a phone is needed to get into the hotel for the first time so make sure your phone's charged.

Fantastic location 100m from Sun Moon lake in one of the main tourist areas where there is a direct bus connection to Taichung. Well-sized room. Hotel provided tourist information and preferential deals on tourist activities such as bike hire and boat rides. It was possible to leave luggage there on the day of check-in.

The check-in time can be a bit tight if you’re arriving before or after the designated time, there won’t be anyone to process it.

Affordable for the tourism location. It’s conveniently located near the main bus station to and leaving Sun Moon Lake. There’s a 7-11 and Family Mart around and lots of places to rent a bike. The beds and shower is clean and the living room is a good place to socialize. Will definitely visit again!

Our room was on the 4th floor, no elevator, for us it was okey but maybe for someone it can be challenging. The town is really small.

Really nice hostel especially if there is nice people at the same time as we had. First I thought it is not that social hostel but I was wrong. Free coffee, tea, ear plugs & eye cover etc. We had a private room with two queen beds, so it was spacious. The was also a filtered water available. The town is quite small but everything you need is really close, restaurants, 7 Eleven and the bus station. You can rent a bicycle from next door a cycle around the lake. Note that’s almost 30km, so take water and snacks and enough time :)

I stayed in a female dorm at this hostel and had a fantastic experience. The place is clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. It's the best choice for visiting Sun Moon Lake, with the bus station and pier just a 2-minute walk away, making it very convenient for sightseeing. When you arrive ,just scan a QR code on the door and receive the gate password. The location is perfect, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting the area!
