Potential bug bite

I think I had bug bites after this, because after check-out and returning home, I had itches and found several bite marks. Please take care in cleaning the bedsheets, blankets, pillow cases, and towels.

On the same street as Wyndham Sun Moon Lake, but cost 10x less. Good for 1-2nights stay. Clean place with private, lockable cabins, and very near the ITA Thao shopping street and pier. You can walk along the lake to the cable car station and the Nine Frogs Stack 九蛙疊像. Even though the opening hours of some food stores are quite unpredictable, there are plenty of options and two convenience stores around.

Owl Hostel

I liked the idea of sleeping in a cube, it affords privacy in a dormitory situation. I found the staff to very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation about going back, I had a peaceful nights sleep. I would highly recommend it.

First time at a hostel.

This was my first stay at a hostel and it was alright. The place was very clean and well maintained. Staff were very helpful. Each night I had a good sleep, and they even provided breakfast if you ordered ahead. I would stay there again.

Warm welcome at a fabulous hostel!

Fantastic hostel. Great location. Very comfortable “capsule” accommodation. The mattress was extremely comfortable and the lighting and electricity supply were very convenient. Really enjoyed my stay here and the staff were wonderfully friendly. Would definitely highly recommend.
