Room is very inconvenient, the only furniture is the bunk bed and locker. There’s no elevated surface to put items on. There is only luggage elevator which you’d still need to lift your baggages to put them in. Staff were great, they recommended us a lot of places to visit. The shared kitchen and hang out spaces are nice too. I’d only recommend this for solo travelers.

I guess it’s just the timing but, I stayed two nights and never saw the free coffee or tea that supposed to be in the kitchen (there was free water dispenser though), then when we come back around 10 am on the 1/21 they saw as at entrance but didn’t say anything about it and we found that there was no electricity in the room and had to go downstairs to ask what happened to the electricity and they said: oh there is no light till 3pm. I don’t know if that was only for that day or if it’s a regular thing but... couldn’t you just notice us before we go up at the moment we greet each other 😓

Ventilation?
I stayed here for one night, so I don't know if my experience can serve as a true representation of the place, but here we go. Overall, the place is rather big, and you get a lot of place to just sit around and chill. They also have a kitchen, so you can cook for yourself if you want. The biggest problem I had was the room. It was a dormitory-style ensuite room. I know dormitory ensuite can go both ways where it can be convenient to have a bathroom in the room, but your neighbors might be crazy and want to take a shower at 2 in the morning. Luckily, all my roommates had common sense. The problem was that the bathroom smelled bad. The whole room smelled like the bathroom. We had a window, but the window screen was broken. I didn't want any bugs in my room, so I decided to just cope with the smell. The bathroom could use some updates, but it wasn't exactly gross. It just smelled like a public bathroom. The location is quite nice. It's very close to the station and supermarkets. Wifi in the room was also very usable.

The room was clean and very nice but there was a lack in the community feel that hostels usually have. It wouldn't be easy to make any new friends. Still a good location and comfortable place to stay.

Value for money
The place was clean as you’ll have to change to indoor slippers before entering, however the walls were really thin and I could hear the rain at night. The mattress was thin too but okay for one nights sleep. The attached bathroom was clean and there was soap provided. Location wise it was a 5-10mins walk from Chiayi Train Station and very convenient with many food choices around. Wenhua Road night market was also walkable around 15 mins away. The staff were really helpful and there’s a basement open area you could use, sofas and even a Mac desktop! Do note there are no elevators so best to travel light, or you could ask for a helping hand!

Good location
Good location, comfortable and clean room. The communal area is on the top floor and includes the roof terrace. It's a shame that there isn't much seating on the terrace and that the area looked forgotten. I had to check out before breakfast started but the staff helpfully told me where the suppliers were and that I should help myself.

A modern BnB
It's my 2nd stay at Light Hostel, everything was rather hassle-free. Very friendly people at the reception. Love the kitchen at L5 for packed supper (if you also prefer not to dine in the room), a breather at balcony and you can also do your laundry here. Short walk to the night market. Cute luggage lift by the way.

Clean hostel with young vibes
We stay in the double room for a night, the price and location are super, I like their atomsphere and they have a really large common area, but the air-con in the room are bit old, quite noisy, also, you can easily hear other guests talking while in the room.

Beyond my expectation
I wasn't expecting so much of a backpacker hostel but this turned out to be really great. The hostel area is safe and near to popular places. The hostel room is really clean and edgy with own bathroom in each 4-bunk-bed room which is definitely a bonus for them. However, the hostel stuff seems slightly unfriendly consider that she did not bother to explain about their hostel or places around.

Fabulous hostel
Loved my stay here - convenient location once you find it, and the rooms are compact but super clean with great bathrooms. Friendly staff. They ask you to place your shoes at a footlocker near the reception, which was odd, but ok. Breakfast is via vouchers with a choice of two locations (Taiwanese or Continental), so no complaints there. The Taiwanese breakfast resto folks didn't speak English, so in case you want to play safe with your food, I recommend the continental option.

Loud children everywhere
The walls and floor are so thin that I can hear people talking in other rooms. With this in mind, imagine children thumping and screaming up and down the stairs for hours. This is what we endured and we're woken up by at 7:00am. We couldn't even hear the tv at full volume they were so loud. Asking the staff made no difference. They didn't seem to care.

雙人房
我們住的是雙人房，一開始拿到的房間充滿煙味，向櫃檯反應後立刻換了一間，但第二間依然有一股霉味，冷氣開一陣子之後才消散。 房間非常小，牆面有點髒，浴室地板有殘留頭髮，整體的清潔度不甚滿意，房內有一台電視一副桌椅，沒有其他裝飾，沒有度假感，但便宜，地點不錯。

在上格床大力移動會影響下隔床。但以那麼平價錢， 有私人房， 有私人厠所， 太棒。5樓有地方可以和其他室友聚， 或有室外地方吸煙。還有洗衣機， 冷熱水及器皿用具借用。唯無樓梯。地點由火車站要行近10分鐘， 唔難找， 也近夜市。

在Hotels的飯店名稱跟實際飯店名稱不一樣尋找時還疑惑一下，窗台有一位飯店人員完全沒指引眼神露出看嫌犯之意，反倒是路人甲指引入口處的位置，接待人員親和，解說環境一口氣完成，說實在短時間無法消化，飯店的結構就是透天厝，房間約3坪左右衛浴在房間裏，睡眠方面上舖床一有動作便發出影響力聲響，隔壁上舖刺眼燈光打整晚直接透入下舖超級影響到睡眠品質，退房時必須把床套枕頭套棉被套自行拆解送至洗衣間~是有些令人…無言。上鋪半夜2點準備出發，上鋪動作是小心翼翼床板還是有乒乓聲，被吵醒機率是80%⬆️，假設她再拆解床單等…
