Backpacker 41 Hostel-Taichung

Normal hostel, clean, had everything needed. There were BEDBUGS in our room. We didn't feel like staying and potentially bringing the bedbugs home. We texted the owner on whatsapp, he offered room change, but only for one person. Afterwards we got offered a refund of the money, and that we can stay at the hostel anyway. We chose to change to a different hotel

This facility had bedbugs.

Bed bugs! I didn't get a good sleep because of the bed bugs.

The location is unbeatable for visiting central spots in Taichung. Fourth Credit Union (same store as Miyahara) is just around the corner, and there are lots of eating places in walking distance. The beds were okay, and there's a kitchen and shared eating area where you can make tea/coffee and eat food. Each bed has privacy curtains and an outlet for charging phones. The hostel will store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. There were plenty of toilets and showers, and areas were kept clean. The mattresses were quite thin, and the bunk beds shake with each movement, which isn't great for sleeping. There are small lockers available for a deposit; otherwise, you have to leave your luggage in the room and trust your roommates. My lower legs were bitten badly by something, either mosquitoes or bedbugs (I suspect bedbugs), during my stay. Follow the usual advice of keeping your bag and things off the beds here if you decide to stay.
