Hostel Jiizu

Hostel Jiizu is located in Songshan District. This area has won the 模範社區獎 ('Role Model District') for its clean streets, safety, and good public facilities. You will see there are hardly any hotels in this area due to the government restricting the 八大行業 ('8 big industry like pubs, nightclubs, sauna/spa etc.') in Songshan District. We stayed in air conditioned 2-single bed standard room on Level 3. There are windows in the bathroom. The bed is firm which we liked. Beddings are soft and comfy. Amenities provided include bottled water, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, razor and a comb. There are fridge, kettle and TV in the room. On the same level there is a coin-operated washing machine and dryer. We didn't use the Wifi as we got a Sim Card with unlimited data (all mobile providers charge the same and can be easily purchased on arrival in Taoyuan International Airport). We especially like the daily housekeeping (including replacing towels and sheets) which you might not get in a typical hostel. There are also umbrellas at the level 1 counter for guests to borrow. Nearby shops: ChiaTe 佳德 (our favourite are Pineapple Pastry & Red Bean Glutinous Rice Cake (contains pork floss) - Start queuing early!! IJySheng 一之軒(our favourite are mochi) If you can, although its not nearby, please try Sugar & Spice 糖村 nougats!! The taste and texture are out of this world!!

Once you get there, you will find everything you need on the same street. Including international banks for foreign currency exchange. Plus only 5 minutes walking distance; you will find the most famous bakery shops to buy pineapple shortbread cakes.

The location of the hostel is great near the mrt and a big bus station. Easy, cheap and uncomplicated.

Great location, right on the street with many places to eat. Three blocks from the MRT. I always appreciate having a water machine. Nice to have a kitchen available in hostels.

The toilets and shower are clean. The mattress and pillow are okay. I saw the pillow has yellow stains and you will not see when you use the pillow case on top of the pillow.
