An unlikely blue metal door and four flights of stairs lead to this flashpacker marvel where dorms have top-quality mattresses and linens, shared showers use organic herbal shampoo, hairdryers are in velvet bags and you can make yourself fine coffee on a De'Longhi machine.
Breakfast on fresh pineapple serenaded by French chanson or with Nat King Cole vinyls spinning on the turntable. It's directly north of Taitung Railway Art Village, entered from the side of an anonymous building right beside the old railway cycling path. There's a bell labelled 5F, but you'd be wise to phone on arrival to get yourself let in.
