DID LIKE the services and immediate assistance provided from the staff and free bike rental and luggage storage. The male dorm room was spacious and quiet during my stay and you a sensor card to enter which us secure and nice. A passcode locker is available to each tenant. But please note that you need to prepare your own towel and tooth brush and toothpast. Dirty clothes? No woories coz you can pay for the laundry services if needed. Though the location it's a bit distant from the train and bus station, the nice walk along the Green River (Lu Chuan) is nice and soothing. Simple yet free continental breakfast with coffee is served so you may save more during the stay. But I was surprised to find that the face wash, shampoo, and shower gel were actually the SAME and the smell was not pleasant. If you do care about the scent, prepare your own travel kits. And the only young lady, Amy, of breakfast station, was quite friendly and hrlpful so it further added some points towards the accommodation experience. Thank you Amy for the nice breakfast talk. C ya next time ^^~

Overall comfortable stay. 8 bed dorm room has lockers for your backpack and belongings. Shoes are kept in shoe locker on 1st floor. Indoor hostel slipper must be worn. Lounge is spacious though access ends at midnight. Laundry access 24hrs. Breakfast is bread/toast with jam. Water, coffee, tea and juices are available all day. Carpets in stairway need vaccuming. Otherwise cleanliness is adequate. Location is close to bus lines, restaurant and train station.

Great location, very clean
This hotel has a great location near market streets and a 15 min walk to the train station. The place is very clean and has a nice area upstairs to hangout. Check-in is at 5 o'clock for some reason, so we waited upstairs. Don't be fooled by the "breakfast"... its just bread slices and corn soup. Overall, a nice place. We got a private room that even had a bath tub.

Best choice for backpacker
Newly opened express hotel with clean and tidy rooms and toilets. Best choice for backpacker for its cheap price, convenient location (just 5 minute walk from Tai Chung train station) and comfortable environment. Best dorm I have ever seen with adequate privacy, as screen is available to make a enclosed space for every bed. Simple breakfast is provided free of charge. Highly recommended for backpackers around the world.

great experience as a backpack hostel
If you arelooking for a backpack dormitory in a neat and comfortable environment, kiwi express is no doubt one of the best choice! location is close to the train station and quite easy to access. Only one thing to aware is that you will be sleeping with the others at each room in the demitory, so have to keep silence when you are in the room. However, privacy is still so high at your sleeping area. Great hostel!

Not my first choice, you have to wear their slippers up to your room. You can't bring your own shoes. The lighting was too dim inside the room. Washing machine wasn't working, only dryer and staff didn't even know.

位置便利的旅店
櫃台妹妹很有熱情，感覺很親切！ 有提供免費早餐，雖然是簡單的吐司和餐包，以及咖啡果汁，也很方便了。 這次入住男子宿舍，裏面有鐵櫃可以置物，床包要自己包，還蠻容易的。簾子拉起來就不易受到房間光線和冷氣的影響，蠻好睡的；半夜較容易被房門開關聲音影響。房卡可以控制床位電源，但記得下床一定要帶著，房門是用感應的。 房客素質要看運氣，幸好當晚沒有打呼聲:)

駅から徒歩10分程度と少し歩きますが、部屋が広く、設備も新しくて、コスパが良かったです。 チェックイン時間が遅めなので、部屋に入る時間は遅めですが、その分チェックアウトが遅めで便利です。また荷物を預かってもらいに行った際にチェックインが済ませられた為、後が楽だった他、その際に日本人だと伝えた為か、施設案内の資料を日本語で用意してくれて、親切でした。 また利用したいです。
