又一天 Koh Tsit Kang

It’s ideal for solo travelers, especially when the Japanese artist exhibition was on display; the space and vibe were great, and the location made it easy to eat, see the sea, or explore trails; there’s no breakfast, but the nearby morning market and seafood stalls satisfy any appetite.

The location is excellent—many dining options nearby, and both Jin’an Temple and Jiangxia Road bus stops are close; walking across the bridge to Doufu Cape isn’t far. The building is a renovated old house with exposed concrete walls, giving it an industrial feel. The rooms are small but the bed is comfortable, the bathroom has separate wet and dry areas, and the space is just right for a solo traveler. Because the rooms are tight, there’s a small table for items and a metal platform by the window, no chair, but the common area on the second floor has stacked stools for those who need them. They also provide indoor slippers and a thermos, which are self‑service. The second‑floor common area has a door that opens onto a central atrium, which is beautiful and reminds me of the Taitung Lu Xing Travel Center’s atrium. There’s a water dispenser and a fridge on the second floor; each floor’s common area has a sink, and each sink has a scented incense holder—unclear if it’s for purification or mosquito repellent. The second and third floors have sofas; the second floor has two tables, and the chairs can rotate, which is fun. I also noticed four resident cats that roam the upstairs and downstairs, very friendly and not shy. When I checked in, they gave me a nice small bag with a book by Professor Qiu Kunliang, *The Rise and Fall of the Nanfang Ao Theatre*, because the lodging itself is a converted Nanfang Ao Theatre. I didn’t finish the book; I got lost in it. I had requested a quiet room when booking, and the staff replied seriously that they’d try to accommodate, but my room is on the street side and the check‑in fell during a holiday, so there was likely some noise. I was more worried about other guests being noisy at night. During the first night, I was on the third floor (actually the fourth, since their first floor starts at the second‑floor reception), and there seemed to be only a few guests in the same area, with others in the atrium or on the second floor, so I wasn’t disturbed. Street noise was present from about 5–6 am, but I slept well and woke up before it became a problem, even hearing bus traffic. It’s a small fishing village, and the reception advised me to leave early for breakfast because the local shops don’t stay open late. The street noise usually dies down during normal hours. The first negative point is about the common area: I stayed two nights and ate in the common area because I didn’t like the room’s smell, but I couldn’t find toilet paper or napkins. On the second night, another guest saw me eating and asked if I had napkins, implying they could be left there. The second negative point is about noise: on the first night, turning off the AC made the room eerily quiet, but I was worried about other noises at midnight, so I kept it on at a low setting. By the second night, the AC made noise, so I turned it off. The second night, many guests were in the room, and I was woken by snoring from another room (if there’s someone next to me, soundproofing isn’t perfect), so I got up and turned the AC back on. The third negative point is the nearby famous “Golden Mazu” temple, which has a booming incense fire; occasionally I hear firecrackers (I asked the shop owner, who said it’s from a pilgrimage group that sets off firecrackers; they usually do this when people come to pray), and I heard them in the morning, noon, and evening, so children should be careful. (The family room seems to be in the inner atrium area). This isn’t related to the hotel, but I got used to it.

The location on Nanfang Ao Street made dining easy, the rooms were clean, and the four‑person room was spacious; however, the sound insulation was poor, and I could hear people talking and moving around.

I found the place super comfy, nothing to complain about.

“Truly amazing place, highly recommend!”

This was absolutely perfect! I wish all the accommodations were like this one. From a friendly personnel, cleanliness of the whole building, warm design and perfectly sized rooms. The vibe was very friendly with common areas including a fridge, water dispensers, recycling bins, sinks, toilets and a small gift shop with stuff from local designers
