  Amazing place with perfect location

  This hostel is great. You're really close to the beautiful Taroko National Park and to the Hualien City Center. Plus, you're 200 meters away from the train station. The hostel staff will provide you a brocheure with information about transportation, recommended treks, and hotspots. They can also guide you to good restaurants and any other thing you can ask them. They have a perfect english and are super warm and attentive. They also rent bicycles. There are a lot of scooters rentals nearby (great option to explore the beautiful area). We had a private room which was great. Big, with lots of natural light and an amazing view to the mountains. The bathroom has a super nice hot tub that comes handy after a long day of walking around at Taroko. The hostel also provides a complimentary breakfast, consisting of tea or coffee, eggs, toasts, ham, cheese, butter, jam, peanut butter, nutella. You can also do laundry for real cheap. And there is a big and comfortable common area, perfect for working or just realaxing. You can also refill your bottle water for free. My recommendation is to stay here for 3-4 nights. There is a lot to see nearby (especially if you rent scooter). Perfect stay.

  Feels like home: new and clean, tasty breakfast, lovely staff, perfect location.

  We stayed here for 3 nights and we totally recommend it. Theres so much nature in Hualien, we recommend to stay extra nights to explore beyond Taroko Gorge (which is totally beautiful and worth exploring!) The location is just perfect: right in front of the train station, walking distance from shops, restaurants, convenience stores, and super comfortable location for exploring Hualien either by train, scooter, or bus. If you are planning to rent a bike or scooter, you can do it at the hostel and start exploring right away! They also provide tours and a lot of information to help you plan your activities. The staff is super kind and well informed. They speak perfect English and will help you make the most out of your stay. The hostel is very clean and modern. It has different types of rooms: we stayed in a private room with toilet. It was on the 9th floor so we had a lovely view of the mountains and the city and a lot of natural light. It was also very silent over there :) The room is big and comfortable, with a small fridge, kettle, complimentary coffee and tea, a desk, and the best surprise of all was that the bathroom has a bathtub which was perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking! We loved the breakfast which was very complete: eggs, cheese, ham, jam, butter, nutella, peanut butter, bread, fruit, coffee and different types of teas. They also have a very big kitchen in case you want to prepare some food. The common area is very big, bright, and comfy. Its ideal for relaxing, eating, or working. The wifi is very fast and reliable. They also have coin washing machines and hanging space which is super handy. Do not hesitate to stay here, well definitely come back!

  Really great place

  We stayed here one night in a double room. Its very clean. Beds are good and the bathroom had also been very clean, too. The staff is super friendly, they speak good English and the entire atmosphere in this hostel and in the kitchen area/ leisure room is really nice. They even have a corner to buy some stuff/snacks e.g. chilled soft drinks and beer. I would definitely go back!!! Also I highly recommend to go to bar 1709 around the corner. It offers live music every night and some small fingerfood, snacks. At daytime its a coffee shop with waffles etc.

  Great hostel, good location

  The hostel is located across the street from the train station and bus station which is where you will find buses to Taroko Gorge and Giant bike hire shop. The hostel itself can organise you trips in the local area. We booked onto the sunrise kayaking trip despite the 3.15am start time! It was brilliant, stunning coast line and an incredible start to the day. The hostel is a very short walk to one of the main streets - Zhongshan Road - of shops, cafes and restaurants. If you walk towards the coast for about half an hour you reach the night food market. The hostel itself was very clean, spacious, great laundry facilities, nice area to hang out, board games etc. The only one fault is that the breakfast is minimal at toast and coffee but then it is a hostel! Overall brilliant value for money and a great place to stay. We stayed here on two seperate occasions.

  It alright :)

  Perhaps it was just me, but when I stayed for 2 nights, there were many groups of school children also staying, so at times I found it to be quite noisy. For one of the days, they totally occupied the breakfast dining place. I actually also found a dead tiny cockroach in my dormitory, however the cleaner promptly cleaned it up the next day. Apart from this, the beds were very spacious and comfortable, big bathrooms, and very convenient location. Taroko Gorge is amazing and should not be missed!
