Island Hearth Chiayi

This time, I stayed in a bunk bed quad room on a Friday night. The room generally looked clean, but there was dust around the headboard. If you have allergies, this might not be suitable for you. This was my first time staying here, in a bunk bed quad room on the third floor. What was really bothersome was the terrible soundproofing. The noise from above, below, and next door was very noticeable, with a motor sound keeping me up all night. Guests on the same floor slammed their doors shut very loudly. I could also clearly hear people walking upstairs. I saw reviews saying it's backpacker-friendly, but if you're looking for comfort, this probably isn't a good choice. The next morning, around 7 AM, guests on the same floor started checking out. Housekeeping was also very quick to clean the rooms, but this disturbed us as we weren't ready to check out yet. Housekeeping didn't seem to care if there were still guests, opening and closing doors very loudly while cleaning. I think when closing the door, they could just gently guide it shut. Unfortunately, they didn't, and this noise continued until past 9 AM. I felt this whole experience made for a very unpleasant stay. The noise was genuinely incredibly loud. It's a backpacker-friendly hostel, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with poor sleep quality.
