Friendly helpful staff. Excellent quiet location with easy access to trains and subway. Clean bath room. Only problem is the water temperature is not constant when taking a shower.

Easy access through BTS. This hostel is in a residential neighborhood far from the tourist enclave of Khaosan Rd. Quiet with great ambience in common area for relaxation. It is good value.

It would be even better if they provide towels to dry hands after visit to the toilet and also in the kitchen since there is no facility to dry one's hands. Left a note to the hostel staff on this.

Very good facilities with buffet breakfast included. The dinner provided for NT$200 is excellent value with 8 dishes and a soup. Unfortunately, the hostel is located 6.5 km from the Alishan Park. The hotel provides free shuttle at 9 a.m. to the Park and pick up back to the hotel at 4 p.m.

Hotel Nautico Inn Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico
7.1
30th Dec 2012

this is a very economic hostel- especially during the high holiday season in Veracruz. The facility is very clean and the hostel staff is nice and helpful - except they speak almost NO English and most of our group members don't speak Spanish. SO language communication could be a problem. the only thing I have complaint is the strong mildew odor in the rooms - even with the air conditioner on in December - we can still smell it. The room on the group level is almost unbearable. So be ware!

Owner has a passion for the hosteling business, genuinely interested in talking to guests and ensuring that they have a good time while visiting Kaohsiung. I hope that Paul, the owner, implements my suggestion on converting a wet bathroom to separate wet and dry areas so that not the whole bathroom is wet after one takes a shower.

would be even better if the shower is converted from a wet shower by adding a barrier to prevent the water from wetting the whole bathroom. This can be accomplished easily by adding a barrier of several inches high so that water does not flow to the rest of the bath room when one showers.

Excellent hostel with a partial view of the sea on the roof top terrace. It would be even better if there is some light on the roof terrace since I could not see what I was eating at night. A simple way may be provide some candles.

Owner was very kind. He drove me to the national park Plitvice lakes and picked me up. The apartment is located 8 km away in the village of Grabovac. The wifi in the apartment only works with owner's laptop and not mine. He kindly let me use his laptop and the kitchen In hindsight, the park can be visited in less than 4 hours without staying over night especially on the way from Zagreb to the Adriatic coast. The best sights such as the main waterfall is close to entrance 1 of the park.
