Find 3-Star Hotels in Hualien

The hotel's promotional material stated that ice cream was available 24/7. If there was an issue preventing this, they should have updated their advertising and politely informed guests, instead of having staff speak to guests like they were criminals, saying, '...it's not time for free ice cream yet...' This left a very bad impression.

This hostel is super easy to get to and very centrally located. The beds were really comfortable too. Even though our room had its own bathroom, there was also another shared bathroom available for everyone down the hall. The locker was big enough for my entire backpack. There was also a water dispenser on every floor. The interior design was lovely, and I particularly liked the paintings on each floor. There was also a kitchen available if you wanted to prepare something, but breakfast was provided anyway.

The room with a balcony and ocean view was absolutely stunning. I regret not arriving earlier to relax more. It's conveniently located within walking distance of Hualien's night market and the beach, making sightseeing easy. Bicycles are also available for rent. Breakfast consists of sandwiches and drinks, which were delicious. Although we checked in at the last minute, the staff were very helpful and kept us informed throughout the process. (I feel really bad for the staff...) For access, you can take a bus or taxi from the station, but depending on the route, buses can be unreliable, so a taxi is recommended. We arrived from another tourist spot, and the bus didn't come, and we couldn't get on the minibus, which was incredibly stressful! In Taiwan, you can call a taxi from a convenience store...how convenient! Definitely try it. Anyway, the rooms are so stylish, I highly recommend everyone visit!! This was the best hotel of our trip to Taiwan :) I want to go again...

My stay here last year was great, so I decided to come back for my round-the-island trip this year. When checking in, I asked the front desk about motorcycle parking. The staff member, whose name tag said 'Intern,' told me I could park anywhere on the white lines along the road next to the hotel. I then asked if the parking lot across the street, where I parked last year, was still an option. A man and a woman next to the counter said that was for cars and heavy motorcycles (even though I wasn't riding a heavy motorcycle last year either). I said 'okay' and went to look for white lines on the road next to the hotel (as shown in the photo). Turns out, the road had just been repaved and there were no markings at all. If you expect us to find our own parking, you should at least clarify that the road markings are gone. I'm not a local, so how would I know what markings used to be there? And the full-time staff member next to the intern also just replied, as if it wasn't their problem, 'You can park on the white lines nearby.' Where exactly are these 'nearby white lines'? Anyway, the breakfast was good. If you're on a budget, I highly recommend this place.

Overall a good experience (except one thing - see in the bottom). The location is somewhat central and on the walking promenade, but not very close to the railway station or the waterfront. About 25-35 min walk to the railway station but still okay. About 15 min to the waterfront. Food options: there are a couple of local restaurants right near across from the promenade, including a noodle shop, a tempura donburi and a fried seafood place - all along the promenade. There's also a PX Mart not too far away, about 5 min walk. The rooms are spacious and clean, very new renovation (as of 2025, seems like 2023-2024), no fridge in the room (on the first floor only), but there's a kettle. The bed was somewhat stiff but okay. Overall felt like great value for the location and the quality, and especially the room size. The only drawback - Easy to fix - was the towels. There was no proper size bathroom towels on my stay in May 2025. The small towels are rather insuficcient for showering.

Very good location, near night market. We got free upgrade to a larger family room with bath tub. Friendly staff. Breakfast was not bad either. Enough variety for both kids and adults. Window face east which can see sunrise with sea view.

The location is excellent, just opposite the train station. We stay there for three nights. Throughout our stay there is a strong smell of toilet which I suspected it’s from the drain AA was raining on my first day of visit. However thr smell remain on 2nd and 3rd night even though there is no more rain. On the 3rd day I decided to inform the hotel as I would like to eat in my room (I can even smell it even the toilet door is closed), the front desk given me a air freshener which helps to some extend. However, I found some small black dot on my bedsheet (the hotel just changed the bedsheet after 2day stay). I ignore that as it is not stain or obvious unclean bedsheet. But it was super itchy when I sleep at night. The next day morning my partner and wake up with bumps all over all body especially limbs. The front desk appeared annoyed when see me early in the morning AA if I am here to complain again, as he frown his eyebrow when we approached. I show him our bumps and he explain it could be due to the detergent. After check out we went to see the doctor in a clinic, the doctor said this is due to a kind of mosquitoes called forcipomyia Taiwana, which is popular in hualian especially during rainy season. Which means it might be due to hotel cleanliness but we were bitten outside. However I felt that the response could be better e.g. to show some concern or propose some solution rather than just tell us the possible cause. Overall it is not very pleasant stay.

Best value and reasonable price for budget travelers. -Location Easy access by bus 301 (every hour) from the station, otherwise Taxi would the best option ($140). Many restaurants, department store, supermarket, laundromat, convenience stores, cultural and creative industrial park and so on. -Room Spacious, old bathroom but partly updated room. Cleaning service was provided everyday if needed. NO bottled water provided, however, they have a goods section which you can purchase bottled water, lazar, toothbrushes etc for only NTD5. Bed was nice and firm, comfortable:) -Staff Very kind and friendly, both staff I spoke to could communicate in English and a bit of Japanese. Reception closes at night so you need to use your card key to get back into a hotel. Overall 4 star, would love to stay here again if I ever go back to Hualien.

The bed was a little dirty; my friend and I both had obvious insect bites on our bodies after sleeping on it. Customer service was very slow to respond, the internet connection was unusable, and the problem remained unresolved. The location is fairly good; it's about a ten-minute walk to the train station.

The hotel maintained a high standard of cleanliness, and to my pleasant surprise, I was upgraded to a more spacious room.
