Fuqi Hostel - Heping

Wonderful staff, very sweet and very knowledgeable about Tainan - what to do, what to eat etc. . Ethan especially was so helpful organising the next day, thank you! . Big common room, always feels social. . I absolutely adored their ‘international mail’ section, it was a calendar with a pocket for each month - you write a postcard to yourself or someone and date which year you want it to be sent. Then pop it into the pocket of the month of your choosing and when the time comes, staff will post it! . Free drinking water/ tea/ coffee . Great A/C which can be used during the night only. This is to save electricity and environment so that’s great! . Recycling! . I would absolutely stay again because of the people and good vibes.

Only lower bunk beds have curtains all around, so if you’re on a top bunk it’s more light and less privacy. No private/small lights in the beds. . Tiny dorm rooms, very hard to move around especially if it’s more than 1 person standing. No space to put your backpack, it will have to stand in someone’s way or go in your bed. Lockers too small for the backpack but is big enough for valuables. . Not enough toilets/showers. Lots of rooms/dorms in each floor and 1 toilet with 2 showers isn’t enough, especially if hostel would be full. Shower heads are broken too, some shower heads you have to hold when showering. . Our top floor bathroom/showers are outdoors... there’s so many mosquitoes inside.
