This hostel is a magnificent choice comparable to midrange digs. In addition to a variety of cosy dorms (both mixed and female-only) and rooms, it has nice furnishings, strong rain showers, a fully equipped kitchen and a relaxed communal area with blue-and-white checked floor tiles. The owner, Jasmine, has unlimited tips on outdoor activities.
To get to the hostel, go to the rear exit of Tainan Train Station, follow Dasyue Rd and turn right when you see a Hang Ten boutique shop. The hostel is at the end of the lane. The walk is about 1.5km.
