I love the books, only if I have planned more time staying in the hostel with the books. The space was well designed and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful to find solution for our needs. I was worried that my cough woke my roommates up, and the staff kindly offered me another room with less occupants to stay in. The location is perfect if you come from high speed rail, with free shuttle bus. There’s direct bus from Tainan train station as well.

Local Backpacker Hostel, hotel in Tainan

Set in Tainan, Local Backpacker Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Was just amazing. Location is superb first, very close to city’s Shennong street so as other shops and temples. Most staff are also living there and even though they speak little English, try to treat you warmly w/ heart. Both my room and common places were all clean and well organised. Offering free snack, tea and coffee was just fantastic. Shower and toilet all worked well. The bed was pretty comfy, AC was powerful and having its own outlets, lights and curtains was great. But the best thing was 3 cute cats living in the hostel I’d say. My personal favorite was a white Persian cat. She was incredibly cute and adorable haha.

The patio is the best thing to do in autumn afternoon!!! Also love the great design details like the clothes rail & the full-length mirror inside the room. Shower and toilet is also very well organized, especially impressed by the changeable floor mat. All in all, a very thoughtful and well designed hostel, will definitely stay again when visiting Tainan 💕💕💕 oh and the location is convenient with THSRC free transfer as well!

    Best hostel during my 16-day trip Taiwan. The owner snd the staff were kind and friendly, accepted me with great hospitality. They were flexible regarding leaving the luggage before check-in and after check-out. It’s a super clean place, everything looks brand new. Good location, close to the stations and easy to reach An Ping. It was a perfect choice.

    This hotel was my favorite of all my trip to Taiwan. It was the first time I visited a hostel, and for a first time, it was really great. The staff, decor, cleanliness, service and supplies were impeccable. A great location. Right outside the hotel bike stations for explore the town. I am 1m90 and my biggest concern was space. Often, in hostels, space is limited. The fear of not being comfortable, but the surprise of finding that the space is large and comfortable. A 10/10 !!!!

    The location was conveniently within reasonable walking distance to many of the main attractions in Tainan. The host was also very courteous and took extra time to provide information to alot of the local tourist locations. The hostel was indeed very quiet, the rooms are well sound proofed. The washrooms are very clean and well maintained and the host also was kind enough to provide a bowl of local fruits upon my arrival. For the price I booked it for, this really can't be beat.
