とても親切なゲストハウスでした

老街まで徒歩圏内の住宅街の中にあるゲストハウス。母屋にキッチンとフロント、ベッドルームははなれにあります。古い建物ではありましたが、清潔に保たれていました。ベッドにカーテンがついていないのが残念でしたが、それ以外は特に気になりませんでした。スタッフの方がとてもフレンドリーで街の情報等をたくさん教えてくださって勉強になりました。ガラスルームからの展望が素晴らしく、朝ごはんはガラスハウスで景色を眺めながらいただけます。早朝は飲食店があいていないので、朝食付きは助かりました。

The location is absolutely stunning, first of all. But the two running the hostel are some of the nicest and coolest people ive ever met. They speak English well and theyve been so helpful with whats around the area as well as all around Taiwan. They have international power sockets too, which makes it easy to charge right away. And the breakfast was amazing!! I couldve eaten so much!! It was taiwanese breakfast (taiwan pancake, hoon pancake, soup, coffee/tea) and was worth so much. I highly recommend staying here and exploring the area! Or just relax at the beautiful hostel!

Set in a beautiful mountainside location, with a view of the sea and surrounding forest. Ann and Amy are brilliant, practically planning all of my days in Jiufen and cooking diet-specific breakfasts. The local buses and trains are easy and cheap and there are hiking trails just a walk away.

九份を訪れる方には是非1泊してみることをお勧めします。

とにかくオーナー（多分）のおばちゃんが親切。英語が少ししか話せない僕にも、英語、片言の日本語、ジェスチャーを駆使して、宿の説明、九份の見どころや注意点、ガイドブックに載っていない穴場を教えてくれました。ベッドにカーテンがなかったり、1部屋に1つしかトイレ、シャワーがなかったりという点を差し引いても、人の少ない九份を経験してみたい方には是非お勧めします。この価格で簡単な朝食がついている点もポイントが高い理由です。チェックアウトの際には、僕が次に行く基隆の情報、観光スポットも教えてくれました。石段の登り降りがあるので、コロコロバッグはむいていません。
