Very Cool Hostel

Check in was relatively simple and the staff went through the procedure of describing the hostel and all the facilities. This hostel is converted from a second hand bookstore and the bookshelves have been remodelled and integrated with bunks. The interiors are amazing. Parts of the building look like a library.I stayed in one of the smaller dorms where the beds are arranged capsule style. I wish I stayed in open space because it looked so much more awesome. My bed had a private light, an electrical point and a USB port. The mattress was firm asian style, but comfortable. Each floor had separate boys and girls bathrooms. The second floor bathroom had three toilets and three shower cubicles. The toilets had Japanese style automated geysers. The bathrooms were super clean throughout my stay as were the grounds of the hostel. Overall, I had a super stay. The staff are nice and friendly who are ready to help with anything. The location is close to all the main attractions in the city and about a 20 minutes walk to Tainan Station.

適合一個人的輕旅行

是我住青年旅舍前幾名良好的經驗，人員都很親切，幾乎旅行中需要的東西都幫你準備好了，通常旅館的洗臉沐浴用品品質都普普，但這間使用的東西品質都很不錯，早知道就不用背著麼多瓶罐增加重量了。我住的是女生多人共用的膠囊房，清潔度和隱私度都很好，不過隔間很薄，隔壁如果是會打呼的人就比較不幸，不過有附耳塞。很適合女生一個人的輕旅行。

La propretée de l'auberge est impeccable. Les pièces communes sont hyper jolies et les livres sont bien réels! Lorsque j'y étais l'auberge était très tranquile, alors dormir dans ub dortoir n'a pas été un inconvénient.

6人女性部屋を予約したが、チェックイン時に今夜は私1人の利用のみだと言われ、「もし1人が怖ければ部屋を変更出来るよ！」と尋ねてくれた。そのスタッフさんの優しさがとても嬉しかった。自分の出す音（ナイロン袋や、バックパックを開けるジッパーの音など）で他の方を起こすかもしれないため、1人のままでお願いした。 フロントの雰囲気、部屋に行くまでの本のある景色、全てが素敵だった。タイル作りの浅めのバスタブもインテリアの一部で可愛かった！水回りもとても清潔で開放感があり、写真の通りだった。化粧水・保湿剤・綿棒も完備。台湾旅行でここまでアメニティが揃っている宿は初めてだった。共有スペース（ラウンジ）は常備してあるスリッパで利用OKだそう。靴に履き替える手間いらずでラクに滞在できる。 ベッド脇にはコンセント2口、ライト付き。鍵付きロッカー、漁師バッグ（洗面用）、タオルが準備してあった。 ベッドにはカーテンの間仕切りはなかったので、開け放して寝るのが気になる方はいるかもしれない。 ランドリーは時間制限があり、夜9時30分〜翌朝9時30分までは利用不可。シェアが基本の施設ゆえ、時間や騒音に関しては徹底してある印象だった。 翌朝スタッフさんに近くのオススメの朝ごはん屋さんを聞くと、お店の正式な名前をGoogleで調べ2件ほど教えてくださった。一生懸命にコミュニケーションをとろうとされる人柄の良さ、誠意を感じた。漢字での筆談もまた、楽しかった！ 別のフロントスタッフさんは預け荷物を取りに行った後、手を振って笑顔で見送ってくれた。レビューの良さは、インテリアや内装だけではない、スタッフの心配り・心遣いの賜物だと感じた。フロントスタッフさんの応対は英語OK。私は中国語が全くダメなので、その点も安心できた。

とてもきれいでおしゃれなホステルです。スタッフさんもフレンドリー。ベッドもシャワートイレも清潔でした。 一つ残念なのはドミトリーが3階で、エレベーターが無いこと。スーツケースを持って3階に登るのは結構大変でした。旅前半で荷物が少なかったのでまだ良かったですが。 それと、深夜にトイレに行くとシャワーから上がったカップル？？がいて男性っぽい人が女性っぽい人の髪を乾かしてあげてました。ビックリしました。LGBT…？(どちらも女性用ドミトリー)

身為台南人的我，偶爾出差 旅行，住過青年旅店，這家我很推薦來一次會愛上。 安全性高 舒適 環境清潔優，尤其個衛浴設備乾濕分離，交誼廳大，書籍種類也不少，服務人員服務好，也會講解很清楚，加上附近景點多。讚！ 台南什麼最多？就是廟宇多相對慶典多，雖然一早吵了點，但晚上睡眠時間是安靜可接受範圍 。
