Soft Travel Hostel, and it is exactly that, the host Mr Chen makes your trip to Taitung easy and you'll find it very enjoyable during your time there. The main method of travel to Taitung, if you are not driving, is by the railway, it is less than 4 hours from Taipei if you get on the fastest non-HSR train going down the east coast, or an hour and half train ride from Gaoxiong (Kaohsiung) if you get off the HSR on the west coast, and this hostel is a short 10 minute walk from the train station, and we were offered a free pick up by the host. What we really loved about this hostel is the host, Mr Chen, he'll do his best to take care of you while you are there, and we couldn't ask for a better stay. He personally prepares the breakfast for his guests, and loves to tell you about Taitung and the area. The hostel itself is custom built by Mr Chen in 2014. It is very elegantly built, and as a designer place, it is very spacious and comfy, with bright bathrooms, modern decor, and we loved everything in the hostel. Other than the train station, the hostel is some distance away from the downtown area, and if you are taking a taxi to/from downtown, it'll be about 200 NT one way (they don't do meters in Taitung, as of 2015 anyways), which is still very reasonable. Again, we love everything about this place, and is highly recommended because of the host, will certainly come stay again!

We absolutely loved this place. The owner was nice and offered to pick us up at the train station knowing that we had a huge luggage, and even personally cooked breakfast every morning! He went the extra mile by offering to drive us to the nearby park to cycle on our last day and would bring our luggage to the train station after we are done. Sadly it rained on the last day so our plans were cancelled :( There was also a night where we took a cab back from the outskirts of Taitung and the driver could not find the hostel so the driver called him on the phone. The owner answered almost immediately and rushed over from his home to the hostel to check if we have reached safely. The hostel is also very new & was built by himself less than a year ago. We had everything we needed and the place was clean. This is a really wonderful place to stay at, with a minute's walk to Taitung Train Station, and definitely a value for money. We are more than pleased with this place! Many thumbs here for the owner & the hostel!!!! :)

住宿品質很好，民宿規劃與設計上許多生活上的細節都考慮到了，是個不錯的住宿體驗。唯一需要稍微注意的是我的導航沒有正確定位到民宿的位置，找尋時要注意門牌號碼。
