I guess they might want to increase the coverage of the WIFI they provided! But overall I am very happy with it! Excellent and highly recommended! Met a lot of new friends there !

强力推介!David, wish and fanny(not sure if i am correct) are all super nice towards us and really great atmosphere there ! The location may be hard to find, but i am very sure all of them are very very willing to help you find the direction there. The place is a little far from town centre, 15mins bus ride to fengjia. But i highly recommend to walk around their district. It has its own charms and donghai university is a great place to visit! Facilities are fantastic. I will go back definitely!

The hostel is very new and look very refreshing, there is a rooftop that we can overview the night scenes. location is not very bad, need to take ard 30 mins shuttle bus from railway station to nearby and walk back to hostel.

A little far from shopping mall and night market, but it's really near the Donghai University. Good hostel and good service. But there is a little problem with WIFI. It's hard to connect to the internet in 3F.

Our stay at WoW Backpackers was awesome. Can safely say that it was the best accommodation during the whole of our trip. Eateries and restaurants are readily available at street level. The only point that we were quite disappointed was that fengjia night market was about 10 mins bus journey away. Nevertheless, the Staffa were very friendly and welcoming. We really felt so comfortable that we did not close our room doors most if the time. We would definitely return should we visit taichung again.

The hostel was great and so was the staff. We went to a night market and it was really wonderful. The location is the only thing that I was not too happy about. The neighborough is good, but it is a long bus ride.from the train station.

Staff were all excellent and quite friendly. Location is average and buses running to the city center can be inconvenient as they only leave once every hour or so so transportation can be an issue.

Although this hostel hasn't got a great location, it has a direct conexion with HSR, which is good, and the bus to the city center stops just at the door of the hostel. Besides that it's just perfect: the owners are nice and helpful, and they put a lot of effort on making you fell at home. We went out for dinner together (together with some other guests) every night I stayed in, making the visit to the night markets remarkable. From my point of view, best choice in the city by far.

Everyone ought to have a home away from home. Based on this alone, Wish and gang has made it happen. If you're already planning to stay in a hostel/backpackers, that really is all you need. WOW goes the extra mile for you, can't ask for more. The bicycle I brought with me broke down and both David and Wish did all they could to have it repaired. Personally, this isn't a backpackers, this is a friend's place. Brilliant!

I had a wonderful stay here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped me get to where I wanted to go. They even ate dinner with the guests, which was a nice personal touch. Everything was clean and comfortable. The showers were warm. The beds were comfortable. I felt very safe there, since there was an electronic key entry. If I ever visit Taichung in the future, this is the place I will stay.
