位置不錯 沒有電梯 大型行李會比較不方便 但有小型行李運送電梯 房間舒適 飯店人員貼心 會一直與你聯繫住宿相關事宜

房間廁所垃圾桶需每天清潔

The location of the hostel was excellent—just a short walk from the train station and the cultural night market. There were also convenience stores nearby, making shopping and dining very convenient. The common area was well-equipped with a kitchen, fridge, and various utensils, so cooking your own meals was easy. Since guests are required to wear slippers inside, the entire space was kept very clean. They provided body wash and shampoo, but do remember to bring your own towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush. However, there were a few drawbacks. While they did have a luggage lift, I was expecting a passenger elevator because the booking site mentioned an elevator in the facilities, which felt a bit misleading. Additionally, the bathroom lighting was oddly designed—bright in the middle but quite dim at the sink and mirror area. Another minor inconvenience was that, although they provided hangers, there wasn’t anywhere to hang clothes. If you're planning to stay for several days, this could be a bit troublesome. Overall, a great option for short stays, especially with its convenient location and clean facilities.

comfy, near the train station and close to night market. highly recommend

There were little options in Chiayi and we found Light Hostel as it was convenient for our late arrival into the city. Facilities were quite standard for a hostel and we appreciated the luggage lift to bring our luggage up. Our room on the 4th floor has a musty smell throughout and there was visible dust and dirt on the thin mattress and on the floor. The staff we encountered were mostly unfriendly and did not initiate any conversations. We also had a hard time figuring out how to check-in as there was no information sent by the hostel up till the day before our arrival and we were arriving out of their staffed hours of 10am - 6pm. There were limited contact options apart from a landline and email, which can be inconvenient for a foreigner on an e-sim! But thankfully they responded quickly to my email, on the morning of arrival. Overall, the experience was quite mediocre and I would choose another place to stay in if I'm back in Chiayi.

Stayed here for night before our trip to Alishan. It was walkinh distance to the train station and there’s lots of restaurants in the area.
