Anonymous UserThis 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!

Guest UserThe room was incredibly spacious, making it super easy to open up my luggage – even multiple suitcases weren't an issue. It's right opposite the train station, and you can even rent a uBike, which is really convenient. The air conditioning in the room was excellent, though there was no AC in the lobby.

The room was spacious and the front desk service was excellent. However, complimentary bottled water isn't provided, and disposable toiletries are only given upon request, which is a bit different from what's common in mainland China.
The 3rd floor has a communal lounge and a laundry room, and it seemed quite lively with many people chatting. However, after a long day of sightseeing, I was too tired to socialize.
The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, being extremely close to the high-speed rail station, bus station, and night market!
The ********* people are incredibly friendly! My boyfriend almost lost his phone at the night market, but a snack stall owner helped keep it safe for him. We're truly grateful for their kindness!

It was my first time staying here. The room and toilet were big and clean. But the soundproofing seems to be poor. If someone is talking in the corridor (maybe a nearby neighbor), they can hear it in the room. 😂

Very near to train station and walking distance to night market. They also provide bicycle for rent. I requested for 1hr extension as I had gout attack and till medication in the morning. I needed extra time for the medicine to take effect before I can walk properly. Thank you for the exception offered. Really appreciate it. Breakfast is good too just that I had no appetite that morning due to gout.

On a last-minute business trip to Chiayi, An Lan Chu's self check-in was incredibly convenient. There's an Akun breakfast spot right across the street; I just had to queue for a bit to grab some breakfast. Enjoying it back at An Lan Chu and chatting with my roommates was really pleasant!

The location is excellent, easy to find. There are welcome drinks and snacks available at the reception area. Rooms are clean though it's an old hotel. Accessible to night market, train and bus station. We have had a wonderful stay at Chiayi. If you go to the night market, do try their guava juice and their 'hamburger 肉夹馍'. It's awesome.

The hotel offers a convenient parking lot with unlimited in-and-out access, which I found fantastic. It's really handy for travelers driving to Chiayi, as you don't have to constantly search for parking. The accommodation price is also very reasonable. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

MattHalsall89Great location near the Chiayi train station. Very convenient if you plan a day trip to Alishan. However we found ants and cockroaches in our room. It was manageable on a budget but if insects make you uncomfortable I would not recommend.
