Backpacking in Taiwan? Find Kinmen Islands Hostels

"Near to Kinmen old street. Lots of eateries and shops around. Offers airport transfer though the driver was late when we reach the airport. Hotel was generally clean except that there's some insects, including toilet flies. Most staff are warm and hospitable except for one. "

"The best thing about this place is the very helpful owner as if you don’t speak Chinese, ask Agoda for his Wechat account to message him a few days before you arrive and he can sort out (with his staff or guests) an airport pickup and have someone take you around on a scooter. He told me he has very few Western guests (then again, very few westerners know to visit Kinmen and even fewer stay for a few days to see everything there); but he did everything possible to be helpful – even driving me and other guests into town and helping me to book some tours. Note: If you don’t have an international license to rent a scooter, Kinmen does have half day public bus tours for each part of the island (tickets need to be booked in advance); but it’s not easy to figure out how this works on your own if you don’t speak Chinese (you need to go to the main bus stations where they have the tours posted on walls + have tourist offices to book tickets for NTD250 in advance). The only drawback is location as there would be nothing to eat in Beishan – at least at night. So you would need to eat elsewhere or have a scooter to go several KMs into town (the public buses stop after 7pm). The other drawback is the bunk rooms don’t have mattresses – just thin mats on the beds; but IF this is a problem, you should be staying in a regular hotel and NOT in a hostel/guesthouse. There is soap/shower gel + a bunch of face creams in the bathrooms + laundry facilities + free tea/coffee/snacks/water machine. Internet in the main lounge area was usually fast and worked most of the time, but the walls are thick - meaning there is not good reception in the bunk rooms. The building itself can’t be missed as it’s the most famous house in Beishan - Its partially in ruins as it was used as a commander’s house when the Communists invaded. The owner also said his grandmother was from Beishan."

"Only stay one night, next day leaving for local tour than leaving Kinmen. The lady very helpfull willing to drop me to the station that morning. Room is very clean & bed very confortable. Highly recommend. "

"Perfect location + nice staff Just 3 minutes walk from JinCheng bus station. Walking distance to most interesting area. Nice staff always willing to help. Clean & comfortable stay I ever have. "
