I was staying with Tavern L for 3 nights while I was in Tainan. It is pretty close to the train station and easy to find. I was staying with bunk-bed in a big room. The room was very clean and comfortable. The front desk were very helpful and informative whenever I have questions. The hostel does not provide towel hence it is important to bring own towel or you may get it at the supermarket nearby. The rooftop has pretty good view though! I would stay here again if visiting Tainan.

It is a Hostel so why complain? It is pretty basic so you just take what you get and it has the things you require for a short stay. Five minutes walk from the main transport hub, wifi accessible and convenience stores and 24 hour fast food available nearby. The very strange thing about this place is the beer. The owner/manager Haley, who is a local but studied in Rhode Island USA, has local beer on tap but then he has a range of world class beers in the bottle. Some of the beers cost much more than your stay! He is very knowledgable about world beer, and if you are lucky, and it is quiet he will talk you through every single beer. Like I say, basic Hostel accommodation, but worth a visit for the beer lover.

The Agoda listing was not accurate for two main reasons: 1) Lockers are available BUT they are NOT free. You must pay NTD 100 a day to rent one which is why a bed is a bit cheaper here than in other places. 2) When you check in, they demand a NTD 500 key/card deposit. I can understand NTD 100 or even 200 but NTD 500 is a bit ridiculous. So make sure you come with EXTRA cash. In addition: 1) There is a lift BUT you have to climb a flight of stairs to get to it which is not convenient if you have a large wheeled suitcase. 2) They cram as many beds as possible into the dorm rooms and the place will be full on weekends, but largely empty on week days. 3) There's no privacy or curtains with the bunk beds as with some other hostels. At least there was a plug by my bed (I don't recall any light). 4) Breakfast is coffee or tea with just 2 slices of bread and your choice of something in between them. 5) There is a toilet in the room & on a weekend when the dorm is full, you will hear the toilet flushing all night long as people get up to use it... Its reasonably clean though and the showers on the roof actually aren't a problem - its just that you will need to take an elevator to get there. The location is also fine as its a reasonably short walk from the train station and I was able to roll a suitcase there BUT you will need to go slightly out of your way to cross the busy road in front of the train station if you don't want to bounce/drag a wheeled suitcase up and down stairs for tunnels. Staff's English would be limited, but you can ask them basic questions and they will be able to answer you. I was able to get wi-fi in the dorm room above the main lounge as well but you probably won't get a signal on the higher floors. There is a much better hostel to stay right at the train station BUT you will need to book at least a few weeks in advance if coming on a weekend when young Taiwanese travel. Next time I visit Taiwan or Tainan, I will definitely book earlier for weekend accom bookings as that place was already booked solid a few weeks before my visit when I began making bookings (actually, I was literally a day too late when I got around to making a final decision about booking and the place was already full on Agoda and even a Facebook message to them confirmed there were no beds available).…

The first moment when you look at the facadw of the place it looks nice. Upon check in, the rules and regulations where you sign on it kind of makes you feel uneasy. The toilets are alright but you might not want to take a shower when the sun is up. The vibe they give off seems to be very strict, not much personal touch to customer service, not much conversation with guest. Knowledge is there and smile. I guess it is the policy and culture of company. One thing that spoils my impression is when i checked out in the morning and was planning on where to go in their living room or communal area, they called at 11am checkout time. Telling me that the area is for guest staying there and I cannot be in the area. A checked out guest is still your guest bear that in mind and do something about the wifi.…

Pros: clean rooms and floor, comfortable bed, 2nd floor is very nice, cozy, Cons: no wifi in the room (only on the 1st and 2nd floor), the showers water flow is very little, shower water sometimes went from hot to cold, it took them around 30-40 minutes to make a simple breakfast (strawberry jam toast and coffee)....and no family room. The person at the reception gave you a feeling the they don't want you to stay there. 大概就是如此的評,有好有壞 How come shown words not enough 有必要一次性要寫這麼多?否則不給貼 這是甚麼系統設計? 而且是以中文字計?有沒搞錯阿第一次遇到這樣的設計呢

Clean environment, nice staffs, so many choice of beer. What else I can say? Oh, it's near by train station. Convenient location with cheap price. Wi-fi is good, but I only can connect it at living room..... I have great experience and good sleep there, see u guys next time!!:) 超級乾淨超越青年旅館的等級! 床超好睡~樓下又有啤酒喝~離火車站近~價格便宜~ 只是我手機沒網路...只能在交誼廳連網路有一點不方便~ 期待下次再跟你們見面喔!謝謝!!

i was so disappointed. Just cannot count on the “perfect” photos that you saw on their websites. If you do want to stay there, try not to break any “Rules” they listed on the contract, or you’ll be fined, even take away the security deposit that you need to paid before check-in. 56 beds but only 4 bathrooms available that night, so I waited for 1.5 hours for my shower on their roof, don’t mention it was just only 50 ∘F during midnight. Later, the owner talked to us for almost 30 minutes in the midnight, complaining, hoping we could pack & move out there in the midnight just becos we moved the beds away from the windows (for the noise from cold wind wipping thru windows) and he was just not happy about it. For a price like that, I found out later that Tainan has many other cheaper & cozier places to stay.…
