Temple Side Hostel

Amazing beds ! Really nice and big mattress ! Very quiet ànd dark àt night, so perfect for good sleep ! The whole hostel is very clean and looks nicely renovated ! The owner is incredibly warm and friendly ànd speaks perfect English, ànd gives many good tips ànd information about Taiwan ànd Tainan ! I enjoyed staying here so much because of the proximity to major temples and sites ànd city center ! Best place to stay at in Tainan !!

過年去真的人多，但是不錯的住宿，應該是老宅改建整修需要的住宿的部份，剩下保留原本的容貌，在放置青年旅社的基本設備，比起大多的青年旅館來算不錯了。

床是木床會有聲音，沒動一下都會有聲音，這點我比較沒法覺得不錯。

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. おすすめです。

Nothing. It didn't bother me, but the room is right next to the road so it can be noisy.

The location was very convenient and within walking distance to the train station, which appreciated. Cozy and clean facilities, although the lockers were on the small side (to keep in mind if you bring a big backpack).

I would have given this stay a 10/10 if it was not for the last interaction we had with the owner. We were very thankful for him letting us keep our stuff for 2,5 more hours after check-out, until around 17.30 instead of 3pm. However when we arrived to pick them up we washed our hands in the bathroom (which apparently was not allowed after checkout) and got absolutely scolded by the owner. His sweetness and hospitality from the night before was completely gone. Even though the first thing we said was sorry he went on about us being rude and in the wrong and that we did not apologize(?). They had a little wall with notes from the people who stayed there and I was writing a note to give to the owner when the interaction happened, which he then told me I was not allowed to put up? I have never stayed at a hostel where you are not allowed to wash your hands or use the bathroom when you pick up your stuff. It was stated nowhere on the booking description, nor in the “lobby” and only stated in a text from the owner on WhatsApp like 45 minutes before we arrived (around 16.15) to pick up our stuff, so we missed that text. Apart from this weird interaction the hostel itself was great:)
