    Free cooked-to-order breakfast meant I didn't have to lift a finger in the morning. The WiFi in public areas was a lifesaver for all my important social media updates. So fancy!

    Who needs actual hospitality when you can have robotic service and a lack of atmosphere? Just what I wanted in a hostel.

    The room I stayed in at Old Man Captain was cozy and comfortable, with a kitchenette that had a fridge. I loved having the option to cook my own meals during my stay. The bed was super comfy and the shared bathrooms were always clean.

    The only thing I didn't really like was that the bathroom was shared. Just a personal preference, but I know some people don't mind it.

    The tour desk at Old Man Captain was incredibly helpful in planning our family's itinerary in Tainan. They provided us with great recommendations and made sure we didn't miss any of the must-visit attractions. The luggage storage space was also very convenient for us as we had a lot of bags. We were able to securely store our belongings and explore the city without any worries. Plus, the free WiFi throughout the property was a huge bonus for keeping our children entertained during our stay.

    In my wife's opinion, the accommodation lacked a children's play area or any specific activities for kids.

    Convenient location next to train station and shuttle buses. Breakfast provided. Interesting design with "cabins" for rooms. Early check-out option available. Helpful staff explaining city and recommending places to eat and visit. Beds equipped with curtains, lamps, outlets, and storage. Shower gel and shampoo provided.

    The location of the hotel was very convenient, as it was right next to the train station. It made it easy to explore the city and there were plenty of buses available for transportation. Additionally, the staff at the hotel were friendly and accommodating, making the overall experience pleasant.

    There were a couple of aspects that I didn't particularly enjoy. the air conditioning in the room was fixed and couldn't be adjusted.

    The location of the hotel is very convenient, as it is right next to the train station. This makes it easy to get around and explore the city. The staff at the hotel are friendly and the rooms are clean. Additionally, I found some interesting books at the bookshelf that I enjoyed reading.

    The bathrooms on each floor are limited, causing a wait at times.

    loved the convenient location near the train station and bus stop. Friendly staff with fun activities at night. Boss even invited us to a pot luck gathering. The hostel had a cozy lounge to meet other travelers and clean beds and facilities.

    Impolite staff.

    The location is mind-blowing, literally right next to the train station and a minute walk from all the shuttle/city buses. The quirky design of the rooms, which they call "cabins," is super cool. Even though they don't have a 24-hour reception, they offer a way to check out early if needed. The staff at the front desk is incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the city and recommend places to eat and visit. The beds are equipped with curtains, lamps, and outlets, making them super convenient. I also loved the fact that they offer breakfast, even if it's just toast and spread. The cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms was impressive, and the friendly staff made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect for getting around, with easy access to public transportation and shops. They even have free events at night, which was a pleasant surprise. our experience at this hotel was absolutely amazing!

    The room I stayed in was amazing! It had a kitchenette with a fridge, which was super convenient. I loved that the room had a comfy seating area where I could relax and unwind. The shared bathroom had slippers and bed linen provided, making my stay even more comfortable. I appreciated having access to the shared bathrooms, it was clean and well-maintained. The double room even had a washing machine, which was a nice surprise!

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the shared bathroom. But I understand some guests might still find it acceptable.

    We had a great stay at the hostel located near the train station. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location was very convenient with bus stops and a 7-eleven nearby. It was perfect for our one-night stopover before catching an early train. The hostel had a nice, modern vibe and the rooms were comfortable. The breakfast may be basic, but it was sufficient. we recommend this hostel for a short stay in the area.
