Disgusting!
room is not very clean but the worst of all is their cleaner didn't even change sheets on the bed. very very gross. without even getting on the bed I can see many hairs on top of the pillow case and blanket sheets. surely enough after I flip the blanket and turn over the sheets there are more hairs under the blanket on the sheets and under the pillow. hairs of all length and even body hair.....I really want to throw up when I saw it. however, it was really late and the office had closed already so I had to use Kleenex to pick up all the gross hair and throw away the hairs myself and use the towels ( thank god at least the towels are clean) one on top and on one on the bottom and one on my pillow to sleep. I don't care how cheap the price is but the sheets and pillow/blanket case need to be change after every guest. Stay here if you like sleeping with stranger's hair and germs. otherwise Do not stay here!!!

Convenient location near Fengjia Market
The hostel was not as difficult to find, if you had read the reviews by other travellers before. The check-in was at a cafe in the alley and the rooms were just down the road. Location is great and near Fengjia Night Market, just a 5 minutes walk away. If you plan to visit other attractions in Taichung itself, you'd have to get around by bus, which is comfortable, but takes quite a long time to arrive and travel to where you'd want to go. Room was comfortable, but had a slight smoke smell when we first got in. Not too bad after you leave the fan and AC on for a while. There are no lifts for the hostel too, so you'd have to carry your luggage up the flight of stairs. Toilet and room were clean. Breakfast is not provided, but you can order something from the cafe every morning. It is nothing to shout about, but fills your stomach. Not a bad place to stay if you just need a place to rest that is near Fengjia Night Market.

Friendly service with great location
Stayed at 2 different rooms during my 4 nights stay. When my friend and I first check in, the room was only available at 7pm and the themed room I have booked for is unavailable for the first night. So we had to settle in a 4-pax non-themed room which is really too small (no walking space if you open up 2 luggage on the floor) if there were really 4 pax. I can't say if it is as squeezy for the themed 4-pax room. The 2-pax themed room for my remaining 3 nights was pretty decent - clean beds and neat tidy room. Aircon was a little unstable, and they did not change my towels and did not refill the water in the room but I did not raise this with the hostel as they were not issues with me. Overall, this hostel is recommended for the superb location (imagine fengjia night market just 2 blocks away) and the very pocket-friendly price. And also the friendly service (drinks on the house when we were waiting for late room), if you need any directions you could ask the hostel service anytime. They are available at the check in (which is in a café next building) from 9am to 10pm.

Overall alright for the price you pay
Location is considered good as it is quite near to Feng Jia Night Market. Though place is quite deep in the alley, I think it is quite safe as there is sufficient lights. As mentioned by other traveller, room further from the stair has very poor wifi reception. Overall, the room is not bad given the price paid.

Pleasant Stay at Feng Jia
Few steps away from Feng Jia main road. Call the hotel owner in advance and he will lead you to the hotel. The hotel also owned a nice cafe which only around the corner. Room itself was cleaned and well kept. We choose two king sized bed room that suited two adult and two children.

First of all, this hotel is located near to Feng Jia Night market, just crossing a road will reach there. Clean and comfortable room. You might need to call and find out this hotel as there are no reception counter. Need to go to next door to register and check-in. Also, there are no Sign or name of this hotel. I will recommend this hotel to stay in.

Location of minsu
This minsu is located in the inner lane and is not easy to find/spot along the main road. Just take the bus and alight at Feng Jia University stop. This stop is on the same side as Mcdonalds. Cross the road (directly opp the bus stop at McDonalds) and walk straight. Turn to your first right lane and follow the road. You would see a cosy cafe. This cafe is actually part of the minsu. Go in and ask to check in. The folks at the cafe are friendly and they will do their best to help and make your stay comfortable. Overall, it's really a decent minsu at excellent location. I would stay here again if I go to Taichung.

This is at the heart of Fengjia night market, walking distance to fengjia night market. no frills, for a small room 1 night stay. affordable pricing and acceptable cleanliness. although room is pathetic small, but what can one ask for ?

太扯了這個店家！
一分都不願意給！你們的處理態度是我出生活到今年最不敢恭維的！！ 因為當下馬上打給購票窗口Hotel.com請他們來處理，畢竟這是因為他們的頁面我們才刷卡消費，至今他們說法是尚未與你們達成共識⋯⋯ 上個月的9/23號，我們因為交通阻塞無法趕在晚上10點到，而你們說需多跟我們收費，而我們遲到10幾分，你們說要多收費！那你們讓我們在巷子口等了20分，請問你們要付我們多少錢？ 由於你們員工態度甚好一直道歉，我們才願意多給一次入住機會，但入住沒有10分鐘，裡頭連基本毛巾一條都沒有，盥洗用具也沒有... 問了連讓我們付費購買的機會都沒有.... 接著我們說要退房，並請退我們費用！而你們員工與你們聯繫後，說什麼店家方面只願意付我們一半的錢，請問我刷卡刷了2900多在這個深夜的市區是耍自己嗎？ 你們的員工真的很可取～態度非常好還一直道歉，並自掏腰包替你們這個店家要付全額給我們！但我們不會去收她這個錢，是你們自己店家要檢討，請還我們公道！

千萬不要去住 不安全又糟糕
這裡消防安全絕對有問題，完全沒有逃生設施 大門還是人家店面的地下室，逃生門幾乎都是封起來的，通到哪裡去也不知道，而且從馬路到房間只有一道門，附近停車場假日最便宜是每小時100，住兩天我停車費就快一千五了

您好： 謝謝您的回覆，對於安全性及通道是我們不足需改進的部分我們會再加強，並加強傳遞出入口及使用說明，讓旅客能更了解及安心。 您預定本來就無提供停車位，如您有此需求，建議您最初有先致電給我們詢問我們週六週日房價時，我們告知無停車位就可不選擇！如您是因為看到我們房價的優惠，期望您能自己吸收停車需自付的費用。 另外外面目前有汰換管線工程，確認施工時間為中午12點過後，如果是會有一早施工之情況，可與我們反映。 因當天已超過退房時間，全部旅客只剩您無退房，我們進到房間才發現您們還在熟睡，時間已是下午1點半，離退房已隔一段時間，未接獲您任何告知，我們會對延遲旅客收取費用，還請您見諒！ 最後感謝您的批評與指教，為此我們很需多不足的部分，但期望能看到我們努力在接待及整潔服務上努力著，有些是迫不得已的，例如建築物的構造、鄰近夜市不便的交通、政府施工單位造成的捆擾…等，會再加以改進，謝謝！

不太好的體驗
入住當天才通知住別館，到了山上的卡夫卡地址卻沒有任何招牌指引，這時回電給服務人員才知道是住別館，且並不是叫山上的卡夫卡，而是叫茵革，入住當天才有寄mail到信箱，地址在夜市裡服飾店裡沒有任何招牌指引的地下道，走入地下道天花板非常低，出地下道是一個看似倉庫的空間，沒有像網站上的招待空間，右後方有電梯及樓梯，服務人員簡單介紹就倉促離開，請我們退房直接把感應卡放置鑰匙箱內即可，入住流程倉促，進到房內覺得設備陽春，標示斑駁、床墊的彈簧感受明顯躺起來不太舒服，清潔度不太好，床板會發出聲響，桌子受潮凸起，桌腳搖晃，房內還有凸起的板子遮住設備，唯一好處是離夜市很近，但住宿體驗不適很好，不推薦。

タオルがついていません。毎日のクリーニングと言ってもゴミ袋を替えるだけで床の掃除はしてくれないので、白いフローリングがどんどん汚れて行きます。安いだけが取り柄です。 写真ではタオルが写っていたので、騙されて予約してしまいましたが、他にももっと安くてタオル付のホステルがあったので、そっちにすればよかったと後悔しています。 また、扉を閉めていても隣の部屋の声が聞こえます。
