15 min walk from Taitung Station, although hosts will likely offer to pickup/drop off if arranged in advance. Homestay was basic but clean/tidy. Room includes fridge, fan/AC, towels, slippers, coffee/tea. We stayed in the quadruple room, which had an ensuite bathroom and window with nice airflow. Water and laundry facilities downstairs. Reliable wi-fi. They also have parking available for anybody arriving by car. Without a doubt, the hosts created a memorable stay. From the welcome tea/snack on the night of our arrival, to dinner invitations, to offering transportation onward; Auntie and Uncle Chen created a wonderful and welcoming experience for our stay in Taitung. In our experience, they were very respectful of our privacy as guests but were available for assistance when needed; also eager to have conversations with us, which was a rewarding part of the stay. If you are interested in bike rental, I recommend 阿勝單車台東店, which is located right across from the Taitung Station.

Location is good due to proximity to Taitung Station but is far from downtown Taitung.

The owner is a very nice guy who likes to bring you with his 25 to 30 years old car to taitung city center, to taitung fugang fish harbor or ickk you up at the railway station . Very good service. He also brought cakes to our room. You can also make your own coffee in the room

Most disappointing was the fact that on booking.com the availability of free bicycles was mentioned. This information was not valid anymore

The place is run by a really friendly elderly couple, everyday they greet you with a smile and makes you feel very welcome, it felt heartwarming. We felt the most comfortable and personal we felt staying in a place during this trip. The host also offers transportation from and to the trainstation and he even brought us to a scooter rental place. We also got a free upgrade to a bigger room cause he felt like it, just in general so many nice gestures and they’re all unconditional, and thats a nice feeling. We will definitely stay here again if we ever have the chance!

Chi Min, the host, is really kind and helpful; he came to pick me up at the station waiting for my train delay, and also offered many times to drive me around and at the end he dropped me at the station very early in the morning. the room was super clean and tidy, with every comfort. the location is a little far from the city but as I said Chi Min is very helpful and there are buses to move around.

I second what a previous reviewer said, the host is probably the nicest man in Taiwan. Sure, the accommodation is a little far from town, but he offers to drive you everywhere. I stayed one night a day he drove me around 4 times, he seems to love doing it, he even offered me a beer. Added bonus is the rooms are huge, it's quiet and very clean.

Nothing.

I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Taitung. The hostel is a cozy, clean, and family-run business near the train station. It is probably the best value-for-money option you can find out there. The hospitality offered by the hosts during my stay was simply amazing. They offered me free pick-up and drop off between the hostel and the train station. On the last day of my stay, Miss Li, the host even offered to drive me around for the whole day just so I could catch a glimpse of the city one more time before I left. I am so grateful for this surprise day-trip. The room and other facilities are also well-maintained and clean. As a family-run hostel, I certainly feel like much work has been put in. I have to also thank the host who came looking for the in the middle of the night on his bike when I was returning late from a nearby laundry store just to make sure I was safe. That was such a heart-warming gesture from him and even recalling it now makes me very grateful. I wish Miss Li and her family successes in running the place and thank you for such a great experience.

The owner was really kind and welcoming. The property is a bit outside the town but conveniently next to the station - the owner offered us a lift into town for dinner but there was a lovely vegetarian restaurant a short walk away which we went too instead. He also gave us a lift to the station the next morning.

It’s a cozy hotel, not a modern brand new one but to be fair they’re pretty much decent and clean.

Nothing

The owners were really really helpful. He was even driving me to Dulan as he wanted to go in that direction anyway.
