The hostel is lovely, and we particularly love the common area of it. However, there are sooooo many mosquitoes, and the room is not completely dark at night (especially when other guests turn on the light in the corridor). And the noise of the planes woke us up quite early in the morning. But still, it is an enjoyable stay.

Even though I didn't give HHK top scores in everything, it's definitely my favourite out of all the hostels I've stayed at in Taiwan. The owner is friendly, good-natured, and really helpful; the hostel is within a short walk of an area of town with (small-town-Taiwanese) shopping and eating; the shower water is warm; the beds are comfortable; and there's an open communal area to hang out in. It's damp and there are some bugs, but that's unavoidable in Taiwan. I love this place.

The hostel is a few minutes from the main bus station, which makes is very easy to get on a bus in the morning and head wherever you want. Don't be deceived by the neighbours when you first see the hostel. It's been a great stay.

This hostel use to be the dorm for railway workers several years ago accroding to their staff, it will chill you out if you want to take a shower there in winter TW at night as me, beacuse the shower room and toilet is sort of outside style.
