I stayed here for sightseeing in Jiufen. Even though it's a dormitory type, the entire facility is very clean and well-maintained. The common area is also spacious, allowing me to relax comfortably.
The access is great; it's right near the Jiufen bus stop. I came from Taipei on bus 965, which took about an hour. Having an EasyCard makes travel much smoother.
The bed space is a dormitory, but you can lock the door to create a private room. The privacy was much better than I expected, making it very comfortable.
Initially, I planned a day trip, but Jiufen gets quite crowded during the day, so staying overnight was definitely the right choice. I could explore during the less crowded evening and morning hours, allowing me to take photos and enjoy the town at a leisurely pace. If you're going to Jiufen, I highly recommend staying overnight.
As a heads-up, shops and restaurants in Jiufen start closing around 7-8 PM, so I'd advise having dinner a bit earlier. Also, the bed space felt a bit stuffy and warm at night due to its enclosed nature. If you want to enjoy the view, a private room might be a better option.
Searching by address on Google Maps can be confusing, so I recommend searching for "Jiufen Shan Su" instead.
This accommodation is highly recommended for those who want to fully experience Jiufen at a relaxed pace.
