  premium hospitality creates the best memory!

  we borrowed bikes for a quick ride around the city. however, we experienced unexpected heavy rain just an hour after we rode the bikes. Hotel called and insisted to pick us up for safe. their great service really lighted up our trip in Hwalien.

  Average small town hotel - far from the town centre!

  This hotel looks great from the photo of the front view. The rooms are less impressive as furniture and bathrooms are a bit tired and needs some maintenance. As a small town hotel, it would rate a 2.5 star. Bathroom needs some grouting and cleaning. The location is not great. You need to walk more than 1.5KM to the town centre or call to book a taxi. The walk to the night market is about 1.7KM. The in room amenities include a kettle but only 2 sachets of chinese tea - no coffee! Breakfast is average and basic but avoid the peak when the Chinese tour bus groups are eating. The food gets depleted faster than the service stuff can cope! This hotel apparently is popular with the Chinese tours and mainly because the cheap rate, inclusive of breakfast is a huge draw. The hotel is not so great for overseas, English speaking visitors as the reception cannot manage simple conversation in English. The view from the breakfast restaurant is a bonus. It has great views of the beach and sea! For a small town hotel and the so cheap rate, it is value for money.

  Older hotel, but good location

  This was an older hotel that showed its age as it probably hasn't been renovated for the last 15-20 years. We stayed here as my parents stayed here in the 1980's and it's close to the ocean. The rooms had a bit of musty smell and the elevators smelled like gas from a motor engine. However everything was clean and the breakfast was good. They also allowed you to rent out bicycles for free (for the first 2 hours) so you can bike along the coastal path. There's also a great tofu pudding place just up the street. In summary, this hotel is fine for a 1 night stay, but I probably wouldn't stay here if you want something more luxurious or modern.

  NOT A PLEASANT HOTEL EXPERIENCE

  My husband and I decided to go to Hualien for 2 nights. We did not book in advance and while he was driving I looked at different B & B and Hotels. When we got to the B & B we liked everything was locked. We drove around and later stopped at the Astar Hotel. Unfortunately it was a huge mistake. 1. The receptionists could not speak English. 2. We wanted to swim because it was very hot but after seeing the pool we decided to rather take a cold shower to cool down. 3. They did not serve any food and we had no choice but to go out for dinner. 4. The hotel was not clean, especially the foyer. 5. And the cherry on the cake was the BREAKFAST the next morning. The only thing they had for foreigners was cereal, but no bowls! When I asked the waitress in what we were suppose to put the cereal she gave me a CUP! A CUP? The only positive thing I can say about this Hotel is that the old gentleman at the door was very friendly.

  In It's Hey Day It Must Have Been Great

  We enjoyed looking at all the wooden statues of Pacific island and aboriginal figures. We called then "uuga-buuga". It reminded us of stays in Hawaii. Room had a superior view of the Pacific Ocean although it looked over the new bulk port, which is ugly. Oh well. Rooms are dated but still comfortable and sp are the beds. Having a bathtub in a shower is wierd, but we were able to manage. I wish the owners would make a nice garden and full-sized pool in the wonderful space they have. Breakfast is in a very nice glass dining room overlooking the ocean. It is very nice.
