OC Hostel

LikedThe place is perfect for your travel to Tainan. Room was very clean. There is drinking water, a washing machine and a very nice host who speaks english and can help you around. Check in is very easy, and the host is just a happy and fun guy who can also tell you more about Tainan!

LikedGreat location. The solo room was perfectly functional. King was very helpful in providing restaurant recommendations when I arrived in the early afternoon, after most places had closed until the evening. His dog is adorable.

LikedVery friendly check in with cash or CC options. Host speaks excellent English. Simple 20 minute walk from TRA station. Very close to attractions, market and eateries. Nice laneway street front. Common area is cool.

DislikedEmbarrassing myself not realising the front door is a slider! My bathroom was pretty small, but this is a hostel and it was perfectly fine for a couple of nights.

LikedThe hostel is 20minutes walk away from Tainan Railway station. Walking from the railway station to the hostel is easy. It is just straight direction on one of the Main Street that starts out from the railway station. The host was great, he was waiting for me. I actually walked past the place, he saw me passing, ran out and guided me back. I booked a private room that includes bathroom and toilet. The common area is at the ground floor, and there is a pantry that provides variety of tea. One can make tea with the hot water provided at the drinking counter and either drink at the common area or at the privacy of one's room. There is also a water machine on the one of the floor(can't remember which floor). The hostel is not too far from the Red tower and Yong Le market where both places have many eateries for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Around the hostel are many cafes and bars. Although the hostel is in an alley, the place is safe and quiet. One can feel safe to stay out late and not have to worry. The hostel is also along the major bus route, so it is quite easy to ride bus either to places of interest or to the railway station. One can use the bus card obtained in Taipei for the MRT/LRT. The card can also be used to ride commuter trains or local trains.

LikedThe staff was very helpful. The location was excellent, very close to a few attractions. Met my expectation.

DislikedThe value was good, my expectation was met. However, I am more used to having a shower stall. The whole bathroom floor is wet after the shower.
