Hotel Information & Reviews
1. Personal Experience
You know, I stumbled upon Old Place Hostel during one of my spontaneous weekend trips in Kaohsiung, and wow, what a delightful surprise!
The moment I walked in, the cozy vibe hit me right away. It felt like stepping into a friend’s living room rather than just another hostel. The staff greeted me with these warm smiles that made you feel instantly at home.
I remember sitting in their common area, sipping on some local tea while chatting with fellow travelers from all over the world. Sure, it was a bit noisy at times—people coming and going—but hey, that’s part of the charm, right?
The dorms were clean and well-kept; I even had a little balcony view overlooking the bustling street below. But then again, if you’re looking for absolute silence to sleep, maybe bring some earplugs!
2. Main Highlights
What really stood out for me were the communal spaces—they’ve got this awesome lounge where everyone just hangs out and shares stories.
And let’s not forget about their breakfast; it’s simple but delicious—fresh bread and local jams that make mornings feel special.
Plus, the location is spot-on! Just a short walk from public transport and plenty of eateries nearby. You can’t beat that kind of convenience when you’re exploring Kaohsiung!
3. Recommendation ★★★★☆
If you’re looking for an affordable yet charming place to stay with a friendly atmosphere, Old Place Hostel is your spot!
Perfect for solo travelers or anyone wanting to meet new friends while soaking up the local culture.
Honestly? I’d go back in a heartbeat!
