HOSTEL WHO KNOWS 遊民公社·背包客棧·青年旅館 - Taitung City

This man who managed this place was super kind and helpful getting us checked in stuff. The facilities are clean and nice. The man helped me with my phone and gave us a great dinner recommendation!

Fantastic host, good location. Facilities not the best. One room for all beds in hostel, no AC, no towels. But shower was unique and very chill vibes.

Went there with a large group of Canadian students. The gentleman working at the hostel was very patient and helpful. He helped us get to Doulan and recommended some cool places. Hostel is clean and well located. Showers have shower gel and shampoo.

I booked this hostel last minute for the March Taitung Marathon. It's about a 23 min walk to the park, but 5 min scooter ride. The hostel owner is super nice, and the hostel is cute, well-organized, in a great part of town, and comfy. I was in the all-female dorm which was great (outlets aren't the most convenient in the room, though). Bed was great and comfortable, although no privacy curtains like some other hostels in Taiwan. Very glad that the toilet is separate from the shower (no problems of people hogging the shower and then not being able to use the toilet). The showers look nice, but look like they would be difficult to clean thoroughly, especially with how humid Taitung gets. I didn't stay in the mixed dorm, but it's basically an open room so that might bother some people. No lockers and no towels, but this didn't bother me. Overall good price for what you get. Comfy and clean from what I can tell.

The owner is a really nice person, he build most of the things inside by himself and hi did great job. It's really comfortable place with a good location near by local markets and at the same time not that close you will be disturbed by the people or the traffic from the main road. I felt there is not enough common area for all the people and because the night I stayed the place was fully packed I could not relax fully.

What a great hostel! The amenities - the bedrooms and showers - are stylish and cozy. There are free drinks - tea bags and coffee and a water dispenser (there is also a fridge in the lobby). But the highlight for us was the attitude of the owner and the receptionist - both spoke very good English and sat down with us to give us hints on what to see in and around the city, where to rent a scooter etc. which saved us a lot of time! I think it's the best hostel I've been to so far! Thank you so much guys!

The owner was very polite. The beds were clean and had a plug in for your phone. As an enormously strong stout fellow I’ve never had angst on being accidentally exposed in a hostel shower as some ladies might- however all you shy and hesitant hostel shower users will feel very comfortable in the clean showers as this hostel has very secure double locking doors. The kitchen area is very clean and has a refrigerator however the sink for your food preparation must be the nearby bathroom sink since the kitchen area doesn’t have one. It is nicely located in the downtown with nearby restaurants. It has a useful living room lounge area with a computer and multiple usb/charging spots.

The attention to absolutely every single detail is unreal. The owners of this hostel are not only 100% bilingual Chinese/English and so kind! but you can tell they have traveled and stayed in many hostels themselves because every single thing has a helpful purpose. The bed had a fold down table, a small lip under the outlet to hold what you were charging, a bar to dry your towel/beach stuff that wasn't over anyone's bed, the shower even had male/female smelling body soap. Haha and you can not beat the location. If you are looking for a hostel in Taitung this should be an easy yes.
