The location is absolutely stunning, first of all. But the two running the hostel are some of the nicest and coolest people ive ever met. They speak English well and theyve been so helpful with whats around the area as well as all around Taiwan. They have international power sockets too, which makes it easy to charge right away. And the breakfast was amazing!! I couldve eaten so much!! It was taiwanese breakfast (taiwan pancake, hoon pancake, soup, coffee/tea) and was worth so much. I highly recommend staying here and exploring the area! Or just relax at the beautiful hostel!
Set in a beautiful mountainside location, with a view of the sea and surrounding forest. Ann and Amy are brilliant, practically planning all of my days in Jiufen and cooking diet-specific breakfasts. The local buses and trains are easy and cheap and there are hiking trails just a walk away.

위치가 가깝긴한데요 여자 혼자 여행하신다먄 지우펀에서 놀고와서 밤에 혼자 찾아갈때 조금 무서울도 있어요 산 속에 있거든요 ! 그래도 주인분이 여행팁이나 버스 노선까지 다 알려주고 매우 친절하시고요 대만식 아침도 나온다고 했는데 저는 늦잠잔다고 안먹었어요

Friendly staff, comfort bed, and silent at night, but need to line up for shower, especially at around 10pm. Around 10-15 minutes walk and stairs to the old street
