OWL Hostel 貓頭鷹旅店 — Hotel in Yuchi Township

Owl Hostel is foreigner-friendly!

Room: The room is in a little cubby split into top and bottom bunk with sliding doors. You tap your card to open the door, which is annoying if you're on the top bunk because you have to tap your card while standing on the ladder. Inside the cubby the bed was big enough for me (5'7.5") and fit both me and my friend.

Payment: You can use cash or card (visa or mastercard). It was about $69 USD for 2 people to a room. (Very reasonable given location and the facility.)

Location: Right near Ita Thao Shopping District so food is easily accessible! The pier is right there.

Bathrooms: BR is co-ed 2 stalls w/ bidets and 1 urinal Shower stalls located in BR (about 5-6 with a mini shelf inside along with a small basket to put items in) Area right outside with cotton swabs, cotton pads (for makeup), hair dryer and napkins. There's also a water dispenser and trash can in the common area.

The artists typically do street performances but they're extremely talented. ✨️Allowed us to leave our luggage there for the day to explore even after we...

Clean, quiet, and comfortable accommodation with easy check-in. The most secure hostel I've been to. The lockers, dorm rooms, and also the individual capsules all have electronic locks operated by key cards. Lockers, water coolers; and bathrooms are on each room floor. They have a rooftop common area, and a laundry.

The location is great, just a short stroll straight along the road from the dock and an even shorter stroll from the bus stop for the buses that shuttle around the lake.

The capsules have comfortable beds and great pillows, and they have ducted aircon that is a bit weak but still keeps the capsule reasonably well conditioned. They have a bed reading light and a main light, and 2x power sockets for charging devices. They also have the biggest doors of any capsule I've stayed in - really helpful for tall people.

The showers are good, with high pressure hot water and a shelf to put dry clothes.

If I return to SML then I will default to Owl Hostel, very happy with the facilities and...

The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Owl Hostel is newly built, and feels more like an upscale hotel than a cheap hostel. The pictures don’t lie; the facilities are state-of-the-art, with modern bathrooms, high-tech cubicles (although, if I had to have the tiniest of criticisms, they tend to get a little stuffy and hot), and amenities like cold water dispensers. Plus, the rooftop view is gorgeous.

The best part though? The staff. They helped us plan each day and make sure we had the best experience possible, letting us know about the best local restaurants, giving us discounted tickets for transportation, and even searching through public transport timetables to make sure we made the most of our time. Would I come again? Yes. Would I recommend my friends to come? Yes. Would I recommend anyone to come?...
