Light Hostel Chiayi

There was no hot water for a shower, and my mom caught a cold because of it! The room itself was very clean and they provided slippers, which was nice. It's also quite close to the night market, which is a big plus! Young people might want to consider staying here.

This hostel is super close to Chiayi train station, which is incredibly convenient. It's located down an alleyway, so it's not noisy at all. Light Hostel is by far the most satisfying hostel I've ever stayed in, both in terms of cleanliness and facilities. It offers great value for money: 1. The lobby has individual shoe lockers, and you change into indoor slippers before entering the rooms, which is very hygienic. 2. The dorm beds have blackout curtains, providing privacy and preventing disturbances from roommates. There's a small reading light at the head of the bed, so you don't have to worry about dim lighting when reading or using your phone at night. There are hooks at the foot of the bed for hanging clothes or towels. 3. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean and tidy. If you're an early riser or come back late, there are hairdryers in the common area, so you don't disturb your roommates. Each room has its own water heater, so you don't have to wait long for hot water when showering. 4. The lobby has a water dispenser with 24-hour hot water, and both the kitchen and common areas are very clean. If you're visiting Chiayi, Light Hostel is an excellent choice!

It's a bit of a walk from Chiayi train station, but for the price, the value for money is excellent. The bed was also very clean. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. If you get the chance, you should definitely give it a try!

Stayed in a double room for 2 nights. Pros: Close to the station, and the price was quite reasonable (breakfast not included). Cons: The room I stayed in this time was very damp and had a strange odor. Also, if you're next to the main staircase, any footsteps are really disruptive (likely due to both human factors and poor soundproofing).
