Knock Knock Hostel

location is great. clean.

they do not have a front desk, the staff will only be there when you call them. they will charge you extra 180ntd if you checked in after 11pm. one thing that made me very uncomfortable was, on the second day afternoon, I went back to the hostel, the door of the room was wide opened. I knew they came in to clean the room but still is a manner to close the door if someone still living in that room.

Probably the best things about the hostel were it's cleanliness and location. It's close enough to an MRT station (less than 5 minutes) but tucked away in a small side street so it wasn't noisy from traffic. Has a ground floor entrance, common room and kitchen which is much nicer than most other hostel in Kaohsiung where you have to take an elevator. The owner speaks perfect English because she lived in the USA for a while so there shouldn't be any communication problems. She was extremely helpful in giving me information because I was injured and couldn't do much but rest at the hostel most of the time. The beds are also very nice. Not typical bunk beds, more like cupboard holes that have good sound proofing so you don't have to worry so much about room mates snoring or rolling around in their sleep.

The hostel is a bit pricey, even when (like me) you get a deal on it. Having to walk up two flights of stairs to get to my room was a bit inconvenient considering I was injured. Maybe the female dorms were on the 2nd floor? I don't know. There is currently construction going on in the building just opposite the hostel. One morning I was woken up at about 7:30am by a guy operating a crane shouting into a megaphone! This isn't the hostels fault I know but I guess I have to mention it.

Good location, it is situated nearby mrt station and easy to reach.

The room is a bit cramped.
