Well...because Taichung is so big and it has no metro stations, it's not easy to find a hostel with really good location. The location of iTC is so so...it's easy to get a bus to the train station but kinda far away from the scenic spots such as Fengjia Night Market, and Donghai University. The staff is nice. And I met a lovely Japanese girl in my dorm. But I think more could be done to improve the bathing facilities.

It was a great experience staying here. Angela offers all you would need. Having a movie night and going night market with her friends were also fun.

It's excellent - everything about it. The showers are good (and shower-gel/shampoo is supplied free), every room is spacious, and bright, security lockers are large (and no deposit was asked for), everywhere is exceptionally clean, the owner is warm and extremely helpful, the social area is lively and full of interesting people, and I think breakfast is included - alas I kept strange hours so never did take breakfast there. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic hostel! Tim, 32 (from England)

Angela was quite friendly but the bed was really uncomfortable and the quilts were hard as well. Besides, there was no hot water during this cold winter, and we could not take showers for two days. Also, it's hard to fall asleep given that the window to the corridor can't prevent the light from shining in. The location was ok, but still needs to take buses wherever you wanna go.

Thank you for your review! I'm so sorry I didn't give you a nice experience! I know the shower is very important of a hostel, it effects the feeling of the review! so I will explain how to use totally to my customers next time. About the hot water, I ask a plumber to make the maintenance already, and the shining light (actually it's another customer's requirement before), but I put on a small curtain too! Your advice will make iTC Hostel better! So... Thank you again!! Wish you could give us another chance to service you!

Very nice place to meet the new friends there. If there is a night light in the room, that's better for the person who needs to leave in the early morning.
