The place is cheap and well located near the train station (8 min walk) and the night market (5 min).  The staff were very friendly and helpful. When you book a place like that you know what you're getting into. But if a roof over your head with a well working AC and a shower with enough water pressure and warm water is what you need, this one fits the bill.
On the down side, Everything, except the staff, could have been better. The rooms are run-down, old, windowless (technically there was a window but it was in the bathroom and opened into a hallway), etc.

A roof over your head for a night on the cheap

Only 5 min walk from chiayi train station. Tiny room but clean and enough for a nigh or two. The owner is really lovely. Lots of restaurants around. Budget accommodation. I recommend this place for a short trip in the city.

Perfect 

Cheap, great location, friendly people, perfect for avoiding the over priced accommodation in the area and for visiting Alishan and Fenqihu. Hot and cold water refils. Not sure why people are complaining about the decor, it's cheap and yes an old building but for us it adds to the charm. Happy to save money for more money for food :) AC, TV and Fan all working. Would recommend

Great location, lovely Taiwanese couple

TLDR: Nice hosts at first glance but after trying to leave an ant-infested room, we quickly discovered that the niceties stopped quickly and turned into harsh, and rather shocking, dishonesty.

We booked earlier in the day and arrived to the hotel in the late evening. The hosts greeted us politely and we were provided a room. The room itself was very basic but we were fine with that. We dropped off our bags, got freshened up, and went out for dinner. After returning to the room, we discovered a massive swarm of ants had its base of operations within the toilet flush tank. Though an unwelcome sight, we were fine with it, if the ants remained in the toilet. This quickly proved to not be the case and we ended up having a line of ants crawl along and on the bed as the bed abutted the wall on 3 sides. We got the owner (husband) to take a look. He brought along a cloth and poisonous spray, both of which we already knew from prior experience would very minimally deter the ants and rather make us feel worse off in the end. But we gave it a shot, even though the owner (husband) insisted that there were no ants while standing less than a foot away from the line. We had to clearly show him multiple times, with him responding multiple times that he saw no ants. This worried us slightly but we thought little of it at the time. When he finally decided he could see the long line of numerous ants, he wiped them off with a cloth (to what purpose, we have no idea) and sprayed the poison. We stood outside the room for about 10-15 minutes, went back in and found to no surprise that the line was still going strong. Due to recent experiences at other hotels in Taiwan, of trying to live with ants crawling along the bed only to wake up bitten and itching in awful ways, we immediately knew we had to change rooms. We went to talk to the hosts and quickly discovered that there were no additional rooms available. This was now closer to midnight and we had already been travelling on our bikes for around 14 hours that day so weren’t too happy to hear this. But, as travellers, we understood that that can happen so asked for a refund of the room costs so that we could hopefully find another place to sleep, though our hopes were slim being so late in the night. The hosts immediately responded that we could only get 50% of the room rent back as it was our decision to leave and that we had, in their determination, already slept in the room. This shocked us as we knew they were aware that we barely used the room, as they knew when we went to dinner and were obviously aware when we called the husband up to look at the ants. This then started a two hour plus long experience of elevated frustration on our end at the stubborn and wholly rude comments from the hosts, when all we were trying to do was get a night’s rest. We called Booking.com who attempted to arbitrate to the company’s credit, but to little avail. At long last, other guests came to the entryway where all of this was happening and attempted to translate and arbitrate as well. When all of this came to a head, the host (wife) finally relented, to clear verbal and physical attempts to stop her doing so by her husband. The other guests acted in escrow and held the room rent as we quickly packed and got out of there, shocked at the awful experience and clear that this should be made perfectly clear to any future guests.

Nice hosts at first glance but after trying to leave an ant-infested room....

If you're on budge, then its fine, but if you are looking something a little bit more, then forget about this one. The location is fine, but still a bit of the distance to the markets, share toilet and shower, and small room with very small waking space even for backpackers. However, base on the price, it's reasonable only if you're on your budge. Plus the receptionist is nice and place is clean.

Its..Alright

Located near railway station and short walk to night market. Budget stay with old but functional facilities. Old lady at front desk is friendly and helpful. There is indoor parking for scooters so it is an ideal rest place for round the island travellers.

The main downsides are the old dated facilities and ant infestation. Really needs a makeover. Not all rooms have outside facing window

Cheap convenient place to stay

Stayed here one night before went to Ali mountain. The room was very basic, toilet has no door but a plastic curtain, so you cannot really close it when you taking a shower or using toilet. Good point is its near a mini night market and also some breakfast place so its no problem to find something to eat if you arrive in Jiayi very late or going out in very early morning to Ali mountain. A budget choice if you just need a place to sleep for few hours.
