Spent six nights in the hostel and had a great time, for three nights I had the room to myself, lockers are huge, no windows but a/c.
Cleanliness on point.
Common are is comfortable and nicely decorated, the owner is such a nice man and always has a smile on his face.
Close to the train and bus station, it doesn't have a laundry room but is super close to a cheap coin laundry.
Free istant coffee, ginseng and tea.
Would recommend.

I arrived earlier than the check-in time but the owner still let me in. He was very friendly and you definitely feel comfortable to have conversation with him. This hostel is very clean eventhough you walk barefoot. During the Chinese New Year eve, he cooked me chicken soup and wish me have 100 years healthy life! We even watch badminton match on the tv together with other guests. I really recommend this hostel to other solo travellers. 1000/100 😆👍🏻

Good. I’m not short or light. Mattress is good for most people I’m sure. Nice owner. Shower has lotsa pressure but it’s handheld or for very very short people. Oh ya, personal locker are cavernous and could fit your car. Huge. Like biggest ever seen.

This time during our trip to Hualien, we stayed at the Hualien Captain’s Absence B&B, which is not far from Hualien Station and Hualien Transfer Station. Because we have to take the Taiwan Express, we chose this place. Although it is not a very new facility, the environment is clean and tidy. The only drawback is that there is no sound insulation. It's so good that you can hear everything in the room next door, but for a one-night stay, it's a good place to rest. There are a lot of food and snacks nearby. It's a bit far from Dongdaemun Night Market. You can rent a car to go there.

"The Captain is not at home" is very attractive as soon as you see this name. When you enter the door, you feel warm and warm, and the boss's friendly reception and introduction immediately make you feel more relaxed. The room type is simple but does not lose its characteristics.
