Deepsoul hostel Liuqiu

Seeing the sunrise from our room was the highlight. We had a great stay, and the gentleman who met us at the port was really nice and shared local tips. Renting a scooter right there was very convenient. Can’t wait to come back, thanks for such a great experience :)

The kids loved the play area in the lobby, which also had coffee, water, ice, and snacks. The pool worked really well for younger children, and our room was spacious, clean, and quiet. Staff helped with rentals and gave us ideas for activities, sights, and places to eat. Breakfast was served off-site, but we often brought it back to eat in the lobby.

Family rooms have a balcony and some view of the sea, and the room size is reasonable. The location is alright, though getting here takes transport. It’s a 20 min walk from the harbour, which is no fun with luggage. Service is pretty hands-off, so you’ll need to go to the lobby counter if you have a question.

The reception staff felt transactional and weren’t very approachable. At checkout, one of them transferred our luggage to the harbour but broke its pull handle and didn’t apologize. I won’t be coming back. Getting there was fairly hassle free for us: without a pickup arranged in advance, you need to rent bikes at the harbour and have the shop move your bags. The rooms were spacious and clean, with decent amenities. From the balcony you’ll probably see the aquarium’s green roof next door. Along with the blue and white paint and piped music, it gave the place an ironic Wes Anderson look. There’s only a little at reception to drink, water, ice, and coffee, though the coffee is pretty good. Breakfast is NT50 vouchers per person for a Taiwanese takeaway about 1.5km away. There’s no seating, so you need a bike to pick it up. Rain made the trip an ordeal for us on both days. You can book things like snorkeling, SUP, and night walks at the counter. Bring enough cash, since everything needs to be paid for in cash.
