On the same street as Wyndham Sun Moon Lake, but cost 10x less. Good for 1-2nights stay. Clean place with private, lockable cabins, and very near the ITA Thao shopping street and pier. You can walk along the lake to the cable car station and the Nine Frogs Stack 九蛙疊像. Even though the opening hours of some food stores are quite unpredictable, there are plenty of options and two convenience stores around.

Potential bug bite

I think I had bug bites after this, because after check-out and returning home, I had itches and found several bite marks. Please take care in cleaning the bedsheets, blankets, pillow cases, and towels.

需要諮詢實際旅遊經驗

比較喜歡去年年初女老闆的旅遊景點介紹；因為若要一些業配類的圖文資訊，何須再向他們詢問呢？ 環境一樣乾淨&舒適&方便覓食，還是值得推薦。

公共設施與硬體設備佳，但房客素質不行

服務人員很親切，接待服務很好。房間安排在個人背包房，是在上層，樓梯其實不太好爬，需要手腳並用，爬進房間裡，若是手腳不是太靈活的人，上下樓梯其實有點怕怕的。因為是集中住宿，雖然有密閉空間，但是隔板較薄，敵不過半夜動靜還是很大的隔壁房客，要注意很多人出入公共門的電子警示音以及個人的聲響。

很好的住宿經驗

這是第一次住這種膠囊旅館，很幸運的是同一房的旅客素質都很好，進出都很安靜並盡可能的不影響到其他同房者。房內乾淨燈光適中，有實體門需有門號卡才能開門相對安全。是一次相當開心的經驗將推薦給朋友👍

不錯的住宿選擇

以青年旅館來說是個很不錯的選擇。因為睡眠區可以上鎖、並且上下鋪是水泥隔板，所以沒有上舖翻身下舖搖晃、鄰居打呼聲太大、晚睡燈光等問題。並且行李直接放在床邊，不需要爬上爬下取物。 一樓開放空間供旅客休息、用餐。有個家庭電影院級別的螢幕與音響，體驗感不錯👍

住宿心得

乾淨、整潔、員工都樂於服務協助客戶。 於客不便時...暫時看顧小孩，用餐時提供卡通讓小朋友觀看(音響粉讚喔!)，且細心考量小朋友體力，調整觀看螢火蟲路線，真的是...滿坑滿谷的多喔! 小朋友本來看到房間，還覺得很奇怪，怎麼只有一張床，其他都沒有，但適應了一下，就搭著電梯 整棟跑起來玩，對...整棟都是他們的遊戲場，少了飯店的人來人往，多了幾分清閒舒適，只要不出飯店大門，孩子即使不在我的視線內...都放心! 小孩很喜歡膠囊旅館，一點都不會覺得不方便，花少少的錢就能完成2天1夜的輕旅行，非常值得推薦喔!
