Kaohsiung Hostellit

Plussat: Central, cosy, nice couch and kitchen area, clean and big shower/washing spaces.

Miinukset: Not much of an atmosphere. Pretty much everyone stays with their phones. Very hard mattress compared to other taiwanese hostels.

Plussat: Very clean, peaceful, and very relaxing. I love the cozy sofa region and the well organized dining/cafe region, let alone the super clean bathroom. The bedroom is also sweet, and it provides everything you need, like hangers and a locker.

Miinukset: No such thing

Plussat: Nice quiet environment - I only spent 2 nights here but yeah, great value for money, staff were really friendly and it was really clean. Not too far from formosa boulevard station and there's a 7/11 like not even a minute away.

Miinukset: Beds aren't too comfortable but they're the standard hostel ones. Also if you're a huge prude, you might not appreciate the shower curtains in the bathroom as they don't cover up the entire entry way (women's bathroom) - they curl up a bit. Other than that, great place to stay!

Plussat: Very clean tidy and comfortable! Perfect place !

Miinukset: Nthl

Plussat: Super clean, spacious common area with good kitchen, living room setup and overall very comfortable beds, close to metro stop and convenience stores

Plussat: I was arrived from Taipei so the bullet train station is a little far but the location of Ahiruyah Guesthouse is quite accessible. Its only a few minutes walk from 美麗島 station. Tte staff are very kind and friendly (Extra point as they can speak Japanese!) and when I had a trouble for renting a cycle, the staff helped me to call the rent a cycle office and explained my situation in Chinese and explained me how to deal with the problem. Kitchen space is clean and comfortable and refrigerator was also available. Shower room is a place that not easy to keep clean but I think the staff did the best they can do and I appreciated it. In a nutshell, I had a great time in 高雄 and the main reason was Ahiruyah Guesthouse. I recommend the venue to all.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The only real nice thing I have to say about this place is the balcony to smoke on.

Miinukset: I've been apprehensive about writing this review because I had a really traumatic experience at a bar just outside the hostel the night before. I was assaulted and robbed by an American soldier that I was drinking with. I have video evidence to prove it. I woke up in the street the following day with a black eye. Couldn't remember anything. All my cash and the room key for the hostel was gone. When I got back to my hostel I promptly packed up my things and tried to leave. Because I didn't have the key the staff locked me in the hostel, like an animal. Did they offer to phone the police? An ambulance? No, just give us $500TWD for the key. But I had no money. At least I still had my wallet. I was forced to leave my bags at the hostel and I went to an ATM to get more money out to pay for the key. The staff showed no sympathy, kindness and provided no assistance for my situation. I had a bad feeling about this hostel the moment I showed up as I arrived early in the morning at 8am when reception was supposed to open but it didn't. I had to go to a coffee shop to wait for an hour. When I arrived at the hostel I asked them where they were and they said they were at reception but I knew that was a lie. Please, if you read this don't stay at this hostel. There are plenty of others in Kaohsiung that I'm sure have much nicer staff.

Plussat: Amazing big common room to eat and or chill with many rules so it's always clean and quiet. Free towel and slippers. Comfortable bed with privacy curtains and I was never disturbed in the morning. Clean showers/WC. A lot of space. Easy access to night market and subway.

Miinukset: I came early and couldn't check in and I left my bag which was left in the common area with little safety. I trust them but it seemed a bit unsafe.

Plussat: Spacious kitchen and common area. New and clean.

Miinukset: The hostel can provide a basket for guests to let us carry their stuffs when going to shower.

Plussat: The environment is very comfortable and very nice place to chill and relaz, and it's why I came for 2nd time whichever I visit Kaoshiung, the location is very super user friendly.

Miinukset: I think the bed and mattress can be enhance with more cleaniess as my hand had multiple segment allergies , the rest is fine. Not sure air does that neither this but I think this would be great to take into consideration

Plussat: Everything!! And the view in the living/dining area.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Great location, really clean, friendly staff. Overall great value for money

Plussat: What's best about this hostel is its very convenient location just outside one of the main MRT stations in Kaohsiung, the Formosa Boulevard Station, where you could take a good photo with the colorful dome. The sleeping area is comfy and clean. Each bed has a curtain for privacy and each one has a locker just in front of the bed for easier access. There is free breakfast (bread and coffee) if you are lazy to go out to find some food. The showers and toilets are clean. There is also an area to dry your clothes under the sunny heat if needed.

Plussat: Just opposite entrance to metro station and close to night market. Simple breakfast. Free tea and coffee. Helpful staff. Possibility to store the luggage.

Miinukset: Thanks to reviews of previous Travellers I was prepared for negatives and hoped it will not happen to me. Unfortunately I was in the same situation. Small shower, difficult not to make clothes wet. I had bad luck with roommates. Sleeping on the top bunk bed without complete coverage was impossible. Though I switched off room wall light when going to bed, other girls switched it on again. Some even let their own bed light on and left room to study in common space. You have to take linen of yourself.

Plussat: good location, near to the subway station and night market

Miinukset: Weak wall, door and floor. I can feel the bed is shaking when someone passing by and hear everything clearly out of my room.

Plussat: The hostel is in very convenient position The lounge area has a charming view on Formosa Blvd station and surrounding streets

Miinukset: This place looks old and it is DIRTY!!! I found hair at every hour / everywhere: floor, bed, dorm, shower. I'm very surprised of positive reviews about cleanliness. The toilet was disgusting. No one of the staff checks its condition frequently. In my opinion this is the worst hostel I've been in all Taiwan

Plussat: The hostel just next to mrt. it's very convenient .

Plussat: Amazing ! The staffs r friendly and kind. The hotel is so near to the mrt station exit 9 and also exit 1( which has elevator ). And liuhe night market is just right at the corner . The design of the room is very modern .I would definitely come again !

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: location wise ! right next to exit 7

Plussat: This is one of the best hotel I have ever been. When I checked in, the staff upgraded my room from dorm to single for free. The entrance to Formosa Boulevard is just at the door step. Facilities were well maintained and clean. Receptionist were nice and helpful. These made my pleasant trip

Miinukset: Nothing to criticize

Plussat: The location is fantastic! It is just off the exit of the metro and the station is good for 2 metro lines. They provided meal vouchers. The hostel was all booked up on the days we stayed but I only saw a couple of people at the hostel and it was very quiet. Tea and coffee was free and fridge and freezer to use fo4 free, which was good to have cold drinks in hot weather. The night market is just round the corner. The staff of the hostel arranged a taxi for us for the next morning, which was very helpful, as we can’t speak Taiwanese.
