On My Way. JiuFen Hostel & Backpacker Reviews

Very friendly hostel owner. He is a superhero! I lost my wallet in the bus and he got it back for me! The communal space really feels like a living room. The atmosphere with everyone is very good.

Great place to stay. You can't fault it. Accessible and in a great location!

Has the basics that every backpacker need. would be nice if the hot water from the water dispenser was hotter than 70°c, but that's not a deal breaker :)

Very nice staff, they let me keep my bike inside because I was bike touring and they also informed and guided me because of the typhoon. My bed and shower were very clean, I recommend it.

Excellent stay with perfect location for Old st. Massive thanks to the friendly volunteers for the helpful information, as well as to the helpful owner who was accommodating. Good place to socialise with other travellers. Shower was the most perfect one I’ve used in Taiwan - minor thing to notice but was appreciated. Would definitely stay again!

The hostel owner and staff is very friendly and helpful. If I come back to Jiufen I will definitly stay there again. Thank u very much

Very nice hostel, the owner was really friendly. It's in the middle of the old street, so very convenient but if you have a big suitcase, not the best haha. The room is actually quite spacious and it's apparently not often full.

Great place to do your daytours from! Alan is very very helpful and just a great guy to talk to! Really nothing to complain about. Good social areas to get to know other backpackers!

The Owner is very kind and friendly, It’s very good choice if you come alone.

The bosses is very friendly and put in an effort to kept the place clean. I had a good time talking to the boss when I stayed indoors most of the time due to rainy season.

Easy check-in, good location behind 7-Eleven in Jiufen Market. The bathroom is spacious and has a dryer, but you have to bring your own towels. The bed is soft. There are many places to take pictures in the market. It is near the mountain climbing point.

Since it was a dormitory, I didn't have any particular expectations, but it was just as clean and comfortable as usual. The female staff was kind and helped me find out the return bus time and gave me lots of other information, which I was grateful for.

It's a reasonably priced hostel. I think the owner's personality is nice and the accommodation is clean. The downside is that there is only one bathroom, so you will often be sharing the bathroom with other people. The floor gets wet after use, so I think some people might not like it because it gets wet after someone else has used it. There are no towels, so towels are essential for your trip. Only shampoo and body soap are available.

They were very kind to me, even though I couldn't understand English. The hotpot they served was delicious! Thank you very much!
