All in all a good stay. The room was clean and had a spacious bathroom. The hostel is 3 min from the main train station and there is a lot of scooter rentals and restaurants in the area.

For no hassles, simple stay, this is probably one of the best you can get at Hualien. It is less than 5 minutes walk from the Hualien train station. I opt for a private double bed room with a private toilet shower. It serves simple bread toast breakfast in the morning and has a complete kitchen if you need to cook or heat up your food. I was supposed to be given a set of vouchers, which is definitely a pleasant gift. Strongly recommend for those who wants to explore Hialien.

All round great hostel. Check in is seamless, facilities are good. The open kitchen and hangout area is spacious. Rooms are great sizes - I stayed in one with just two bunks, with loads of room for luggage.
Really convenient from the station but further out from some of the main sites. Recommend hiring a bike from a few doors down.

The location was superb, and even for a somewhat rare breed for a hostel like myself--the one that arrives by driving oneself, the location couldn't be better since it was right in front of a parking lot for a train station.
My only wish would be that they might look into the efficiency of their HVAC system or spend some dimes on deodorizers. I'm pretty sure it wasn't their negligence or anything like that, but due to odors emanating from some of their guests, it stank from time to time.

A great hostel with great vibes! I stayed in the 4-person girls room with a shared bathroom. Beds were spacious and felt private, with an individual compartment for your belongings. The common space in the lobby was also nice to hang out in with various seating options. Plus free tea and breakfast. Would recommend!

Very close to train station Less than 5 minutes walk. The 4 Bedroom dorm size is smaller than average 4 room dorm. Breakfast needs improvement. Instant coffee is simply awful.
The dining area is spacious and have electrical outlet to surf the web.

Good location, near Hualien station and bus station, 7 eleven, free breakfast and have lift.
The only problem if you take single bunk bed, the room was small so there isn't place enough to put your luggages. We can't put luggage (cabin size) in the locker (not enough) and under bed already full with other guest luggages (lower bed).
So if you take single bunk bed and have big size luggages better ask luggage storage for guest.

Clean hostel near the train station (2 min walk). The staff are really friendly and helpful and there is a free breakfast in the morning. The hostel is a little far from the town centre, but there are local bus services that depart from the bus station across the road.

Very convenient location very near Hualien train station. Nice public area with lots of outlets and with water dispenser. Free coffee and tea packs. Simple breakfast is included but it starts late. Friendly and accommodating staff. Very awkward ladder going up the topdeck of the bed in the dorm room, as shown in the picture.

The hostel was really great, same quality as a hotel. We stayed here for 1 night in a bunker bedroom with our 4 year old daughter. Bed was comfortable, shower was good and they had good breakfast. Personel was really kind and super helpful. The location wasn't too far from the night market. They have paid parking spots for a reasonable rate. We highly recommend this hostel.

Well located near the train station. Good hire bike offers and a decent breakfast. Good area to dry clothes after doing laundry. A little quiet/not massively sociable during the time we were there in the off season, especially since Taroko Gorge was shut. But would stay here again for sure.
