from TainanFormosa YachtingAfter checking out, I immediately stayed at the UIJ Hotel & Hostel. What I enjoyed at this time was not the leisurely and vast water view, but the humanistic style full of life. Unexpectedly, Little Hamburg also likes the style of this kind of light luxury hotel. It seems that in the future, I will take it everywhere to experience it, and cultivate some backpacker temperament from an early age. (🔎Reservation price and guest evaluation:agoda|booking.com)

There is a small butler in the shared space on the third floor to provide various consultations and services. It seems that it is always very lively anytime, anywhere. We come here with small hamburgers in the evening and in the morning. Take him to experience backpacker accommodation.In addition, the arbitrary terrace set in the outdoor space is not only a place for drinking, chatting and blowing air at night, but also a cool rest space in the morning under the shade of the building.
The large row of film records behind the hotel counter is for music lovers. As long as you book the "Youle Room" room type, the room will be equipped with a film record player, which can be rented from the counter staff and brought back to the room to listen to it slowly. "The sound of a fever", but in order to have a good night's sleep, I replaced it with two single beds and missed it. I want to record this point and provide reference for those who plan to come to the accommodation. Don't learn to "make up your own mind". (cry)

▲ Public kitchen and work area.
