I had a great time in Tamsui at the hostel Hotel. The work is really not complicated and only takes two to three hours a day. Tamsui is also a beautiful, quieter place than the hostel to relax and watch magnificent sunsets with several local restaurants nearby, but the hostel remains very accessible by bus or MRT. I would also like to thank all the people working in the hotel year-round who welcomed me, helped me, listened to me... they are wonderful people, I laughed a lot, learned a lot at their side. Thank you very much Peggy, Ashley, Yun and Carrie, don't change a thing ❤️

The past one month has been a fulfilling and joyful time. It feels like I just arrived yesterday, but the wonderful days have flown by so quickly. I'm truly grateful to the staff who made this time so comfortable and meaningful. Carrie, Peggy, Ping, and Ashley — thanks to you, I had a relaxing and unforgettable experience. This was my seventh visit to Taiwan, but the hostel is the first place where I've stayed for over a month. Thanks to your warm hospitality — sometimes like family, sometimes like close friends — I felt happy and deeply thankful throughout my stay.

A clean and tidy environment, the work is not difficult, and is usually completed in 2 hours. When you are not visiting somewhere in the hostel, you can enjoy the coastal road, where there are plenty of food places around. You can make your holidays coincide and go on long distances. It takes about 1 hour to go to the center of the hostel by subway.

I've spent a wonderful month with the team. The place is really chill, and everyone take care you, you won't be alone in your journey ! They really helped me to feel comfortable and enjoying Taiwan even more! The job is classic housekeeping, and let you on the weekdays a lot of time to explore the area. Thank you again for everything!
