All Things. Great location first, very close to shops, MRT station and Ai river park(good for morning run). The kitchen was spacious and had enough cutlery and utensils. Offering free juice, coffee and tea was a pleasant bonus. Staff were all kind and friendly of course. My room and all common areas were generally clean. My bed was comfy enough and having its own outlets, lights and curtains was also tremendous. Having a locker for each guest was also a big plus. Would recommend a lot if you visit Kaohsioung.

Not much. Bathrooms were a bit messy but didn’t bother much. The room was small to accommodate 8 pax but still doable.

Good location, close to main station, metro & tram. Clean, comfortable bed, many amenities provided.

It doesn’t feel warm at all, more like a „sleeping factory“. Staff is friendly but not exactly welcoming, no one of the guests was social at all. Room was packed with people and as you can’t open a window it was very bad air in there. There are rules for literally anything, you won’t be able to push a single button without having to read special regulations for it.

- amazing view of the city from the double bed! 10th floor - double bed in 10 bed dorm was so comfy with such comfy bedding - great location centrally, near train station, right by metro on red line, really central and easy to get around - free juice in the hostel! - nice touches in the bathroom including toiletries and hair bands and cotton pads - best hostel that we have stayed in in Taiwan! - lockers in the dorm for valuables - enough space in the dorm (we only had 1 other person in there in the 10 bed dorm in March)

- only allow you to store bags for a certain time and don’t let you use the facilities (toilet etc) after 4pm after checkout - they asked us to leave when going to get our bags that were in storage. (They tell you this is their policy upon checkin so was not a surprise to us but just to be aware)

Very clean hostel in a great location in Kaohsiung. Close to the metro (exit 4) and close to a lot of cute bars and coffee shops. The rooms are big and have a fantastic view of the city. Price is fair!

The hostel isn't huge, but still quite a lot of beds. Like with other bigger hostels there is little to no social interaction with other travellers. Asian/local tourists tend to stick together, so you have to be lucky to meet other like minded travellers to hang out with. I didn't like the facts that the toilet and showers are on the other side of the hostel. You have to walk through the conmon room to get there, which is kinda annoying in the middle of the night. Also, it was a bit hard to find the hostel. I did get a message through Booking with a link to get some directions, but the link didn't work so I had to find the entrance myself. Tip: it's on the side of the building, floor number 10.

Good location, less than a minute walk to the metro station. Hostel is on the 10th floor of the building (there is an elevator) and both the room and common area had pretty city views through the windows. Comfortable bed with privacy curtains. Staff was very warm, helpful and professional. Everything really clean, including the bathrooms/showers. Fun common area with a kitchen and free drinks.

The location was fabulous! It was located right next to the Metro station, and made for easy transfer. Lots of surrounding breakfast/lunch places too! The room was great! Big bed, comfortable sheets, great view from the bed. Love the locker safes, and the slippers they made everyone wear - I love the idea, instead of having everybody trudging around in a mixed shared bedroom with questionable shoes! Clean and spacious shared toilets/bathrooms too! Free juice dispenser at the lobby too, so we saved a little on sweet drinks when we were craving something juicy and sweet and had already gotten tired with boba (gasp the blasphemy). There were guava tea (my favourite!), apple cider (my partner couldn't get enough of that) and mixed fruit tea. The machine only operates from 7.30am till 10.30pm, but that's plenty of time. :D Huge shared fridge too, with provided sticky labels and pens :D

We had the double-bed in a mixed room - was slightly stuffy, but that was probably because someone adjusted the air-conditioner settings in the night. The couple in the next bed also had their phones on loud vibrations - the entire night; it was bearable, but slightly annoying.

We liked our stay in PaperPlane. The building is right next to the subway station and the hostel is located on the 10th floor and has an amazing view over the city. There is a free drinks machine with very nice choice of drinks (very refreshing). The dorm was spacious and clean. Our bed was also right next to the window and we had an amazing morning/night city view.

Toilets/showers are located in the common area, so you need to walk through the whole area while people are working or eating there. The female shower/toilet area was not very clean.

The location is just beside Houyi MRT station.The staff were extremely helpful and well behaved. They are always welcoming to your doubts and guidance. They offer free juices and beverages.the rooms and the washroom were clean and hygiene was maintained. The wifi was cherry on the top of the desert.

Comfy bed (I had the double one), with a nice view over the city. The place is clean, quiet enough, lovely staff, and WiFi was strong (and with good signal in both rooms and lobby). Good value for money and good location (literally a minute away from MRT exit, with PX mart and 7-Eleven less than 5 min away)

Nothing much

The space was well taken care of and nice. Right next to the subway, which made it easy to get anywhere in the city, plus super affordable! Of the nearly 60+ hostels I've stayed in, this was one of the top ones.

Nothing.
