Tainan Hostels

The lobby is beautiful and the service is excellent. If you arrive before check-in time, you can relax in the public area on the 8th floor. The ambiance is fantastic. The buffet breakfast is definitely a highlight! The Tainan specialties like Oden, Braised Pork Rice, and Beef Soup are all incredibly tempting. Other dishes are also plentiful. All the hotel facilities are very new and aesthetically pleasing. This was the best place I stayed in Taiwan.

Stayed for two nights. Had some issue with our hotel room key. The staff were very proactive trying to resolve the issue, but it was only till the 2nd day of our stay that was resolved. There was no compensation for the incovenience caused as we only had 1 phisical key for 4 ppl. Having said that, the rest of the service was very nice, would be happy to go back again.

Ready to dive into Tainan’s captivating old streets and creative energy? The Kindness Day Hotel exceeded my expectations from the get-go—think comfy amenities, a breakfast buffet you’ll dream about, and a location that puts you just steps from historic hot spots like Guohua Street, You'ai Night Market, and Anping Old Street. 🏮 Staying here means you’re in the heart of it all! Arrive by taxi or hop on the train—either way, you’re within easy reach of Tainan’s iconic foodie walks, temples, and that ruggedly photogenic Anping coastline. The wooden tableware at breakfast is a lovely touch; it matches the bright, modern interiors and gives serious “insta-worthy” vibes, especially on sunny mornings. What sets Kindness Day apart? Free bikes for breezy city exploring, a 24-hour supply of coffee and ice cream (essential fuel for full travel days!), and a guest laundry so you can pack light. Got a craving late at night? From 7 to 10 pm, there are free snacks and beverages to keep those midnight munchies at bay. The staff really make the stay—everyone is genuinely helpful and always ready to guide you or share local tips for the best photo angles and hidden gems. If you love snapping pics, check out the modern light-filled lobby and take your camera out to the nearby vibrant outdoor art scenes. Book early on trip.com for the best rates, and try to time your snack breaks for that magical 7-10 pm window. Tainan tip: plan a walking route from the hotel—hit the night markets, then unwind at Anping’s outdoor spots before heading back for dessert and downtime. #Tainan #KindnessDayHotel #FoodieTravel #HistoricTaiwan #HotelReview

Overall, I had a very good stay and think this hotel deserves a higher rating, especially compared with some higher-star hotels I stayed at in Taiwan. The room was very clean and housekeeping was thorough. I also really appreciated the free coffee (black coffee) and water dispenser. The shared kitchen and dining area are very useful, as you do not have to eat inside your room. Having the garbage disposal downstairs is also great, especially as you do not have to keep food waste in the room. The air conditioning was strong, the fridge worked well, and there was also a large shared fridge/freezer and dishes available on the ground floor. The washing machine was excellent: 40 TWD for a roughly 50-minute wash and 10 TWD for detergent. Unlike many other hotels, it also had warm-water programs, and my clothes actually smelled fresh afterwards. The receptionist was very helpful, and being able to contact reception through LINE while outside the hotel was extremely convenient. They responded quickly and were always helpful. The elevator and stairs were also good. I especially appreciated that there is a guest toilet available even after check-out. Also, a hairdryer and slippers were also provided, which was convenient. A few negatives: the walls are very thin, the bed was too short for me (1.73m), hand soap was missing, and I found it unusual that toilet paper cannot be flushed. Check-in only starts at 4 p.m., which is quite late. One additional thing to note for taller guests: the bathroom ceiling is quite low. The biggest issue was noise from other guests. There was a lot of loud noise after 11 p.m. and late into the night. It would be very helpful if the hotel introduced clear quiet-hour rules and reminded guests at check-in to keep noise down after around 10 p.m. Regardless of where people come from, being considerate of other hotel guests should be basic courtesy, especially late at night. Apart from the noise, this was a very good hotel with excellent facilities (see pictures) and helpful staff.

The space was comfortable, and I loved the bidet toilet and powerful hairdryer. They even provided instant noodles, drinks, and snacks. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel that goes to the Garden Night Market, and you can also rent bicycles. Parking is available. The breakfast was really rich and delicious – I accidentally ate too many pastries! The restaurant space is large, and there's also water available for refills.

The location of this hotel is perfect. All the major cultural sites and shopping malls are within walking distance. I highly recommend the guests to buy the locally brewed Tainan beers (in bottles) from the reception. It is going to be an unforgettable experience. These local Tainan beers have a wide range of tastes, and the texture of each one is bolder and better than the conventional Taiwan beer and the imported ones. The hotel also has a neat and cozy common area on the 8/F., and it is comfortable to relax there. I wish the hotel had its own restaurant, but one can always find cafes for breakfast nearby.

The staff were really friendly, and the facilities were great too. We had a mud hot spring on the balcony, so we didn't even have to go downstairs to soak. It made for a very relaxing and enjoyable day.

The hotel's location is super convenient, it's a great 10-minute walk to the station, and nearby attractions are all within walking distance. The room was new and very clean, but the toilet flush wasn't great; you couldn't throw toilet paper in, and it often took 3 or more flushes to clear everything, which was a bit awkward when staying with friends. The shower head also wasn't very powerful; if you adjusted the temperature to be slightly hotter, the water pressure would become very weak. The hairdryer wasn't strong enough either; even on the highest setting, it took ages to dry my hair.

Location: Super convenient! Guohua Street, Hai'an Road, and Minsheng Road are all just a block away. You can turn a corner and be on You'ai Street or Zhongzheng Road. It’s a comfortable 10-minute walk to Koxinga Ancestral Shrine, Hayashi Department Store, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Ximen Store, National Museum of Taiwan Literature, Tainan Art Museum, Judicial Museum, and Confucius Temple Commercial District. Shops: On Zhongzheng Road, there's Poya, and across from it is Wusong Temple, a great spot for souvenirs. Cosmed and Watsons are just a block away. There are so many eateries nearby! Turn left onto You'ai Street and you'll find You'ai Market, which has several food stalls open late, though it can get hot in summer as there's no air conditioning. Hotel: The hotel itself is fine. The Wi-Fi, facilities, and cleanliness are all what you'd expect from a typical hotel. I particularly liked the bathroom – spacious, bright, and clean. However, the room and bed felt a bit damp, and even with the fan on, that feeling wouldn't go away. Here's the main issue: something was biting me. First night: Two bites. Second night: One bite. Third night: Two bites. Fourth night: None, because I checked out early that morning. The room was only cleaned once during my four-night stay, and they didn't change the sheets. I wonder if that's why bugs might be hiding in the bed and carpet. I thought about asking the hotel to change the bedding, but then I figured it wouldn't make a difference. The hotel is actually well-maintained. I just hope they can step up their cleaning and disinfection efforts, especially for the bedding and carpets. Upon check-in, I received a small gift: a coin purse or a drink holder. I chose the coin purse, which is very practical! 👍

Our first impression was the fungus-like smell, which may be due to poor ventilation. However, we were able to change another room with feedback to the counter. Yet, the service was slow, especially at the counter. Recommended if you could only afford a very tight budget.
