Just. Amazing. ”
Wow! That was the first word we had when we arrived in this hotel. In the first place, Nanwan is much quieter than Kenting and somewhat much nicer. The staff was extremely nice and we really felt as we were at home. The hotel is 2 minutes away from the beach which makes it ideally placed if you want to spend time on the beach. A 7-Eleven is just next to it which is perfect if you crave for anything. The showers and the toilets were really clean and really spacious. On the third floor of the hotel there is a space with a fridge with free juices and water as well as coffee and tea. There is also a big terrace with a hammock and some seats and table with the view on the beach! On the first floor, there is a really romantic swinging chair as well as lying chairs. We had home made breakfast which were different on the two days we stayed that were just amazing and fresh. The room we got was a capsule for two with view on the sea. The room is really big enough and we enjoyed so much out stay

Exceptional”
The First is an incredible new addition to the hotel scene in Kenting. The capsules and public areas are brand new, immaculately clean and trendy. It is obvious that they put A LOT of thought into the (very cool) design of this hotel. The public areas have lots of fun features like a private mini-theatre (which can seat one couple) and two balconies with great views over Nanwan (South Bay). The location could NOT be better. It is located directly across the street from the main entrance to Nanwan and is immediately next to both a 7-11 and the bus stop to both Kaohsiung and Kenting main street. I read one guest mention that the price is a little high for a capsule hotel but really, US$20 is a steal for the superior facilities and experience you will have during your stay. In conclusion, I love The First. This place is just awesome. Thank you to the cheerful and charming staff for creating such a special and wonderful place. You are the best!

Great hostel - staff are the best!”
This hostel is in a great location and the capsules are really well designed. The staff can't do enough to help you and are on hand at any time of the day / night. There's a 7-11 right beside it. Facilities within the hostel are really good - free tea, coffee, juice, water and the breakfast is really good value for NT 100. The hostel are also making an effort to be sustainable, with juice and cocktails provided in reusable glass - good to see. Bus stop is right beside the hostel so very easy to get there too. Easy walk to Kenting to explore the beach, though you can rent a bike / scooter if you'd rather not walk. Staff can help with everything and speak good English.

Great staff with a big heart”
Our stay at the First Nanwan exceeded our expectations! The capsule with sea view was beautiful, the shared bathrooms were always squeaky clean and we received homemade breakfast every morning! My girlfriend and I had a scooter accident while in Hengchun and she couldn't walk up the stairs so the hotel management were kind enough to accommodate us to a room on the first floor. Thanks again for your hospitality!!!

Incredible stay”
I loved this hostel! It has everything you need! Beds are so comfortable it's a double edged sword cuz in the pods it's just dark if you don't turn the lights on so it's always day time haha. But absolutely worth it. Rooftop and balcony views are amazing. The only thing I don't like is that check out is at 11 when check in is quite late at 3pm.

Great stay at The First Nanwan”
It was a very pleasant stay in this hostel. I stayed for 2 nights in March. Hostel was only 1 month old. Everything was very new and clean. Very hospitable owner who offered coffee when I was resting in the common area. Employee was very helpful with bike/transport bookings and suggestions around the area. Their helper even helped me with my laundry. It might seem expensive compared to other hostels but it’s actually very value for money. Fresh, tasty breakfast was provided every morning. I was served Japanese food on both mornings. Laundry was available free but there was no dryer which was fine as the weather is generally warm in Kenting. The views in the common area was spectacular and u can catch the sunset directly facing the sea. It’s just few mins walk away from afei surfing. There is a 7-11 just beside the hostel. Had a very great stay and will definitely recommend people to stay in this hostel. Thumbs up to the owner and staff in this hostel.

Never Fails to be Perfect”
I have stayed here many times, and (as always) I lounge in total relaxation. I don't feel guilty about spending money and I spend my day wandering to the beach, hanging out on the roof, or curling up in the Netflix corner. In the evenings it is a quick and easy bus ride down to the Kenting Night Market.

Awesome stay”
The hostel is located opposite site of the beach in the town center. It has an awesome design, a small cinema, two rooftop terraces and the best breakfast, that I had in a hostel in Taiwan. You should definitely stay there. Only small downside were the mattresses, which were too thin, if two people sleep on them.

The Best Place to Stay!”
I love this place! I have stayed here 8 different times now, and every time I come I am greeted with friendliness and I know that I will have a fantastic weekend. The rooms are clean, the Netflix corner is fantastic, and the proximity to the beach CANNOT be matched! Not to mention that because it's a capsule hotel, the stay is cheap. :)
