Chiayi Island Yuju Hotel

Chiayi Island Heart

💰Double Backpacker Room $722 (Klook(Book now) Average price $361 per person❗️ Weekday rates are very affordable~ The decor is quite nice, the whole building provides towels but not toothbrushes or other toiletries (available for purchase on the first floor). 💡The backpacker rooms are mixed-gender, with single and double beds. As other reviews have mentioned, there are far too many beds. I would recommend staying on weekdays when it's less crowded, otherwise it will definitely be difficult to disturb each other. The capsules have foldable wooden panels that open to reveal a table and mirror, which is great. There is also a TV for watching Netflix, YouTube, etc., but you need to bring your own wired headphones (there is a jack). 🚽The men's and women's rooms are separate. There are two toilets and two showers for women. One toilet and shower are combined, which is relatively few. There is a nice hair drying area with hair dryers and cotton swabs. ❤️‍🔥The common areas on the rooftop are very nice. There is a shared refrigerator, and surprisingly, there are pots and pans available for cooking on the gas stove. There is also a microwave and an oven, which is really great! There are also board games/chess games available, with seating divided into indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor seating area has a good number of tables and chairs, as well as washing machines and clothes drying areas. A suggestion: it's a real shame that the TV can't be watched because there are no headphones. It would be helpful to sell cheap headphones on the first floor for emergency use.

My stay at Chiayi Light Travel Hostel was a great experience overall! The hostel's location is incredibly convenient, very close to the Cultural Road Night Market and within walking distance of Chiayi Railway Station, making it easy to return after exploring the night market in the evening. The rooms were clean and tidy, with stylish facilities, especially the backpacker room which even had a TV, perfect for relaxing and watching shows during the trip. The mixed-gender accommodation was quite quiet, with generally well-mannered guests, so I wasn't disturbed. I stayed in a backpacker/shared dormitory room, where each bed had a power outlet and a small table. The partitions were decent, and the mattresses were a good balance of firmness and softness, making for a comfortable sleep. The shared bathroom was cleaner than expected, but some guests mentioned that the hot water pressure was a bit weak and unstable when switching between hot and cold water. The bathroom was functional but not without its minor flaws. Overall, it offers great value for money. Considering the price, convenient location, cleanliness, and service, it's the kind of place I'd definitely want to return to. If you, like me, appreciate a clean environment in a good location without being too business-like, Chiayi Light Travel Hostel is definitely worth considering!

Kaohsiung Island Hotel

Kaohsiung Island Heart

It's a 3-minute walk from Exit 3 of Qianjin MRT Station. The Qianjin Public Market next door has lots of delicious snacks. The room itself is actually quite nice, but the cleaning wasn't very thorough. There was used toilet paper on the chair near the window, and the hand soap bottle on the sink was dusty. The bed was a bit hard. The front desk staff were quite friendly and greeted us when we came in and out. It's cheaper on weekdays, so you might want to check it out.

I booked the room a long time ago, but the hotel has changed hands and can't be cancelled for free. It's my first day here, and as I commented a month ago, there's no Wi-Fi and the TV isn't working. The front desk politely said they'd fix it tomorrow. It's really outrageous that a hotel lacks even basic facilities. I'll add a review after it's fixed.
