A Kaohsiung Hostel Designed with Backpackers in Mind - Dwell Hostel
Whenever I stay at a hostel, my biggest headache is where to put belongings like glasses and watches. If I leave them by the bed, I’m afraid they’ll fall off in the night; if I put them in my backpack, I have to climb down from the top bunk when the alarm goes off, which is a hassle. The place I’m sharing today, Dwell Hostel, is in Kaohsiung’s Sanduo shopping district. Transportation is convenient, and it’s only four stops from Kaohsiung Station. If you get hungry at night, a night market is right downstairs, and the hostel even offers free instant noodles just in case. Most importantly, they’ve thought of all the little details: there’s a small bag by each bed so you can keep your valuables safe, and the front desk sells toothbrushes and other toiletries. This time, for the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, I didn’t prepare anything. I grabbed my luggage and rushed to the high-speed rail to Kaohsiung, and only after I got on the train did I realize I had forgotten my toothbrush and towel! Ahhh!!!!! It was so touching that the hostel had them for me!! ...
