Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Expedia's marketing message for this facility should be corrected at once. First, there is NO Cook-to-Order breakfast, not even one piece of free toast. No free breakfast is included, period. 2nd, there is no Nightly Social Activity as the facility claims to host every night free for guests. 3rd, there is no computer station to use as included in Expedia Amenity list. 4th, there is no Tour/Ticket Desk assistance as claimed. The lady was not even interested in helping us with the local transportation information. I made a decision to pay a higher rate and to accept the shared bathroom options instead of a few lesser expensive business hotels in the area, as I was truly looking forward to the Cook-to-Order Breakfast and the nightly social activities with fellow guests. I am expecting Expedia to compensate me for your false marketing information that led me to overpay my stay.

Great location near the TRA and bus station
Location of hostel was very good, closeby the front entrance/ exit of Tainan Train Station. It's entrance was WITHIN the family mart, with an orange door. Toilet was clean. You get clean sheets/ pillow case, for your stay. Under 3 minutes, there is a bus station very nearby.

When you exit the train station, the hostel is immediately on your left - there is a sign but you may miss it, but it is next to a motorbike rental place. To get to the toilet / shower on each floor, you have to leave the room and go down the open air hallway - this was a first for me. Just change inside the shower and you won't have to worry about other people peeping. Rooms are super large, with lots of natural lighting if you don't close the curtains. This can be a positive or a minus depending on the person.

amiable stay
amiable stay, first time in a hostel. friendly staff, friendly fellow hostel guests. the space is super convenient (next to main train station) and most places that a tourist will go are accessible by walking. had an interesting experience here, would stay again. oh yeah, it had a good (but small) communal space that had a small but well stocked library of local travel books (which i looked at for a few hours because i had jet lag) and a kitchen (which i did not use, but was there if you needed it)

地點是非常便利,如果不熟臺南的交通是不錯的選擇。但有幾點給想定這家的人參考看看: 一)床單和枕頭套需要自己鋪,這個條件在我訂房時是不會寫出來的,個人來説很不喜歡分到上鋪還要自己鋪床,因一來空間很小,二來動作很大很容易吵到同房的人,如果早知道需要自己鋪床我會選別的地方住。 二)公共地方(浴室厠所)感覺有點舊舊的,且不是乾濕分離,我用厠所的時候紙巾濕掉了。 三)對我個人來説冷氣不夠,因床的設計非常不通風,冷氣吹不到很悶熱,結果我半夜4點就被熱醒了。 四)公共領域的座位並不多,除了中間桌子那幾個座位會被冷氣吹到外別的位子很熱,想開風扇結果風扇是壞的…… 五)員工晚上9點左右就會下班 六)晚上會有辦活動,我個人是沒差 七)早餐是免費吐司

沒有比這間離車站更近的青年旅社了
台南車站一出來,你會找不到旅館,因為入口在全家便利商店裡面(笑)。 算認真經營的青年旅社,早上有早餐吐司果醬自取、晚上還有一壺雞尾酒。 功能基本,住起來很像學生時期夏令營的宿舍,懷舊的走廊,共用的浴廁等。 實在夠便宜,所以對各方面也沒啥挑惕的。 看到有幾戶是長住的客人,桌上放滿個人物品,實在更像宿舍了,沒有負面的感覺,就覺得奇妙。

性價比高,值得推薦
地點就在火車站旁邊,非常便利,附近各種店家都有,價格也是當時搜到最便宜的,還有免費體驗活動及免費早餐,性價比非常高。可惜擋不了蚊子,影響睡眠,希望走廊上可以擺蚊香、房裡可以擺捕蚊燈之類的。
