Hualien City hotellia

Plussat: Great place. Great location. Very clean. Just remember that they give you a breakfast coupon in your hotel envelope!

Plussat: Helpful staff, clean and tidy

Miinukset: The towels are a bit old and worn

Plussat: Fabulous small hotel with very comfy japanese style bedding, close to many xiao chi and breakfast places, free use of washing machine and clothes line on the roof and DIY Chemex coffee maker in the lobby with single origin beans.

Plussat: Clean, nicely furbished room. Bikes to go around town for free.

Plussat: Very nice room decor

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staffs are friendly and caring

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Very cute rooms. The breakfast was good too! Host was very accommodating and provided excellent customer service.

Miinukset: Rooms were abit dusty and bedsheets have some yellowish stains. But overall, it was still a comfortable stay and nice rooms.

Plussat: Everything was excellent. One of the best b&b i ever stayed at.

Plussat: Interior design, cleanliness, staff hospitality.

Plussat: Cleanliness, hospitality of the receptionist and the owner. Kids were delighted with rabbit theme. We could not choose better for our last night in Taiwan.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good location, good breakfest

Plussat: The staff are very thoughtful, friendly and helpful. My wife lost her phone on the cab and the staff managed to help her get the phone back. Really appreciate their help. They offered lots of suggestions of what we can do or explore around Hualien.

Miinukset: Would be good to have more pillows in the room.

Plussat: Everything! The B&B is just a five-minute walk from Hualien Train Station, so ideal, especially for the bus to Taroko Gorge. Our room was quiet, tastefully decorated and spacious, with a little fridge, great WiFi, and a clean, well-equipped bathroom. Staff was lovely. Not everyone spoke English, but all were helpful and friendly. The communal space downstairs was adorably quirky (I chose this accommodation because I love bunnies). The breakfasts were a highlight, and without a doubt the best set, served breakfasts of our entire five weeks in Taiwan: freshly prepared, and beautifully presented. Totally recommended!

Miinukset: We loved everything. The location, which was perfectly convenient for us, was perhaps rather a long walk from downtown and the Night Market.

Plussat: We were so lucky to get this hotel since we booked it sort of last minute, but there are lots of things to love about this hotel: 1. The free shuttle pick up and drop off, to and from the train station is very appreciated. The driver was very nice and friendly, the car was clean and comfortable to ride in. 2. The staffs were very polite, helpful and friendly. They helped us to call taxis whenever we needed. The service is just great 3. The all day free bicycle is another very positive point. It is quite easy to get around Hualien on a bike, and the fact that we did not have to spend extra money to rent a bicycle has made the trip even much better. 4. The room was comfortable and complete (hair dryer, kettles, etc), the bed was comfy, the TV was big and lots of channels to choose from. The toilet was very big and clean. Overall a very pleasant stay. I would book this hotel again if I go to Hualien in the future.

Miinukset: After leaving the room for sometime, we could smell a hint of cigarette smoke. Not sure where it came from but it went away a few minutes after we turned on the air conditioner, so it's all ok in the end. Probably came from outside the building.

Plussat: Very comfortable beds. Very friendly receptionists, speaking English very well. Transport to train station was super welcome.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The staff at this hotel are really nice. They speak good english and interact with the guests very well. The hotel room was really clean with a big bathroom. The breakfast buffet was super delicious with excellent choices. If you are exploring Hualien with Klook, the hotel is right across the pick up point you literally just have to walk like 2 minutes. Also, Hualien Night Market is just a quick 10-minute walk passing along a lovely and peaceful street and with the weather so fine nothing else can be more relaxing than a wonderful evening stroll. Upon checkout, they provided free dropoff to the train station so that was really kind of them. :)

Miinukset: I liked everything! :)

Plussat: Great service, comfortable clean rooms, nice location and shuttle from and to the trainstation (reserve 1 day ahead!)

Plussat: Location is excellent to shopping, food, and night market. Hotel is located off a quiet side street from the main streets so very quiet. Very attentive and friendly staff, and communication had been prompt and courtenous prior to check-in. Simple but good breakfast with Western and Chinese selections. Excellent free shuttle services. As a nice bonus our room had a nice mountain view! Also used the free laundry service on 6th floor and hotel provided laundry detergent. This hotel is great value for you money! Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. If we are in Hualian again will stay at Fupin again. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Service good.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Great quiet location but few steps to the comercial area, near night market. Helpfull staf, (Thanks Wendy!) . Free bikes. Clean, nice room. Perfect bathroom. Juices, tea, coffee on the room.

Miinukset: Everything was great, no bad comments

Plussat: Free bike rental and Sea shore Park nearby, good breakfast, very kind staff. Clean & modern. Free shuttle from the station.Central position but quiet place

Miinukset: No wardrobe only clutches

Plussat: Clean, good breakfast

Miinukset: Terrible internet, very basic facilities, staff cant speak english

Plussat: The personnel I met at the desk downstairs are really enthusiastic and helpful. It's also a great place to drink a coffee or beer. Lockers were really handy.

Miinukset: The automatic light goes on too easily, when I Moved my leg, it already turned on.

Plussat: the beds have locks next to them with locks that open with your card. Very convenient Breakfast was pretty okay. Location is basically close to the train station. Nothing special, but if you are going to Tarako, it's ideal.

Miinukset: I thought the staff were polite and nice but not particularly enthusiastic about answering questions. I asked about a good place to eat and didn't get a helpful response.

Plussat: It's right in front of Hualien Station and the bus station going to Taroko so that was definitely 10 thumbs up! Room may be tiny but it was clean and oragnized, and everything we need are there. Breakfast may be basic, but it's still above of what we paid for in my opinion.

Miinukset: None. Actually it exceeded our expectation for a hostel and with that price (take note, we've stayed in many hostels around Asia).

Plussat: Staff friendly and helpful Always really clean in the rooms bathrooms and shared areas Can do your own laundry for 80NT$ and extra pillows fresh towels free of charge

Miinukset: Could get a little bit hot in the dorm rooms in the evening. More information in English regarding tours and surrounding area would be helpful

Plussat: Clean and comfortable bed and bathroom, lovely staff.

Miinukset: - it was hard to find a seat to eat breakfast in the weekend morning. - In the busy weekend morning, the hostel should have provided some cooked food to cut/reduce a waiting line for using a stove

Plussat: Kätevä sijainti ihan rautatieaseman ja linja-autoaseman vieressä -> tästä oli näppärä kulkea mm. Tarokoon. Respasta sai bussiaikataulut Tarokon bussille. Lounge oli mukava ja tilat siistejä ja uudehkon oloisia. Suihku oli hyvä. Huoneessa oli kohtuukokoinen lukittava kaappi pienille laukuille ym. Wifi toimi erinomaisesti. Aamiaisella oli paahtoleivän lisäksi juustoa ja kinkkua, kahvia ja teetä, appelsiinia ja munakkaat sai paistaa itse.

Miinukset: Hostelli sijaitsee suht kukana keskustasta ja kaukana night marketista. Kuitenkin ravintoloita ja kauppoja löytyy läheltä. Hostellissa ei ollut tarjolla pyyhkeitä - ne olisi pitänyt vuokrata. Pyyhettä ei myöskään saanut ripustettua kuivumaan. Aamiaisastiat piti tiskata käytön jälkeen itse, josta ne otettiin seuraavien käyttöön. Huoneessa ei ollut lukittavaa kaappia isommille matkatavaroille, mutta arvotavarat sai kaappiin säilöön.

Plussat: + Very nice decor and international coffee shop vibe + Clean & well maintained + Beds have curtains and individual big lockers + Friendly staff + Free Coffee & Tea & Snacks + Fast wifi + Amazing value

Plussat: Very central location, only a few minutes walking from Hualien main station Nice restaurants and supermarkets in the area Friendly, English-speaking staff Tours, such as a trip to Taroko National Park, organised by hostel Very cheap and good scooter rental nearby (Ivy Tours) Free coffee, tea, water, and snacks Availability of using a computer

Plussat: It was very laid back and easy to get to. The room was comfortable and clean, and I had a nice time there.

Miinukset: It's a minor thing, but I could hear people talking late into the night on the first floor. It made it a little hard to sleep.

Plussat: Located near to the Hualien station and the room is spacious and cozy. The staff is helpful too!

Plussat: Really well kept. Clean and staff were lovely and accomodating

Miinukset: Some walls could be touched up from damage. Room was small

Plussat: Hostel provides free bicycle rentals subject to availability. Good option since the places can be quite a distance.

Plussat: The rooms were spacious, cozy lounge area. Close to the main station. The staff was incredibly welcoming, so nice. Would stay again.

Plussat: The room was really clean and comfortable, nothing was lacking, and the counter staff are really friendly and helpful too.

Miinukset: Only thing was that we booked a double bed room, but gotten a twin bed room instead, and since it was just a short stay, we were fine with it.

Plussat: Friendly staff who recommend nice food and there are free rental of bicycle.

Miinukset: 2 ways transfer from train station will be appreciated.

Plussat: Near the station, good base for visiting Taroko National Park. Cozy lobby with free drinks and sweets/snacks.

Miinukset: Room was old fashioned, a bit cramped and smelled musty, probably because of cigarette smoke (although smoking is prohibited).

Plussat: Location, helpful staff, design and treats in reception area of the hotel.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Has many snacks for client, great

Plussat: Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff, really nice lobby with free soft drinks, snacks, re-fillable water and tourist information. The wifi was very good, the rooms were quiet and the bed was comfortable. Free parking was also very useful, located at the back of the property.

Miinukset: The check-in experience was a little strange, there may have been a translation issue. We had a room booking that said 'select room on check-in', in other hotels this meant we could choose either a twin room or double room (as long as they were both available). However, here they told us we had been allocated a twin room and we had to pay extra for a double room, we paid the extra and got the double room, the room was exactly the same size and was clearly not being used by anyone else. So, booking.com / the hotel should have just told us that we had originally reserved a twin-room, not 'select room on check-in'. Anyway it wasn't much extra over two days but still was a little weird and hasn't happened before.

Plussat: Extremely helpful staff , very comfortable beds and brilliant shower facilities Nice eco friendly vibe also :)

Plussat: Very good location, 5min walk from the train station. Staff are nice and available, room is clean. They have an area where you can eat ans drink some snacks and sodas for free(as long as you don't take it out with you). They have also some games available.

Plussat: Great hotel, fantastic staff, brilliant facilities, perfect location for exploring Hualien and Toroko, clean and quiet. I would recommend

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spacious room, clean, not far from rail station; lots of restaurants around

Miinukset: Not offer breakfast

Plussat: Good pod beds for privacy and good coffee machine. Base for taroko gorge but nothing else to do in hualien.

Miinukset: Not the best location, really far from the train station and no places to eat nearby. The breakfast was awful! Weird plate of shredded salad and vegetables with a slice of plastic cheese and super processed ham. I feel like the ones not eaten were put in the fridge for the next day.

Plussat: Room and bathroom are clean.

Miinukset: Little far from the main station

Plussat: Everything it was good ! The breakfast

Miinukset: Far from the train station

Plussat: Clean, great staff, nice facilities. Best hostel I stayed at so far during my travels and I’ve been to many. Loved it!

Plussat: The only good thing about the hostel was the super friendly receptionist. She is a new staff started working since September. She can speak good English and very helpful. Without her my rate for this hostel would be 4.

Miinukset: Breakfast is no longer all-you-can-eat buffet since September, so don’t be deceived by the delicious looking pictures of abundance of food (It should be taken off!). Now they give us only a plate of set food, and it wasn’t enough for me. And also I wished there were more fresh vegetables on the plate, but no choice. I booked this hostel for the buffet breakfast, so it was a big disappointment in the morning. Plus coffee was terrible. The location was too far from the railway station. It took me about 35~40 min to get to the hostel on foot. So if I knew there’s no buffet breakfast, I wouldn’t have booked here. It doesn’t worth it. Stay somewhere near the station, if you are here mainly for Taroko NP. There are only coed bathrooms, it was awkward. No soap and no hand towel in the sink area. Lastly, the Internet was incredibly slow! It was terrible! I couldn’t even open Instagram pages with their WiFi! Can't do video calls!

Plussat: Good buffet breakfast the first two days. Comfortable bed. Very clean.

Miinukset: We had a breakfast buffet the first two days, like the one on the photos. We booked this hostel for this, because there are various (better) hostels much cheaper and closer to attractions, but we wanted a good buffet breakfast. But on the last day, they decided that it was okay to give us all a small plate of food (which was disgusting), because "there weren’t many people" (see photos). This is not acceptable and it is called fake advertising. No space in the main hall to chill, only tables with chairs and if they are all taken, too bad for you. Owners don’t care about you, they make no effort to learn a single sentence in english. They are not helpful at all for attractions or Taroko, they just tell you to go look at the displayed information and flyers on the table. Rooms were extra small and very stuffy, too hot to sleep (in november !!!), no space to put your luggage, no hangers... Location was (very) far from train station and from main attractions. I will not return, because it is too expensive for what you get. The services and room provided cost half of the price you pay. Very disappointing.

Miinukset: Owner did not speak english...every travelres has same question... how to come on tran station.. hot to come back.... to fare from train station... bus every 30 minutes

Plussat: Location was really good. Short walk to everything. Breakfast was fine (enough options for some western food). The staff was also really helpfull and nice. I would recommend the hotel!

Miinukset: The smell in the lobby was not so nice.

Plussat: Good service staff - able to let us check in at expected timing even when they are still busy clearing/checking out all the rooms. Able to let us store our luggage while we are out for our tour. Convenient - It’s pretty near to my tour pick up location and 10mins walk to night market. It’s also quite near to hualien station when taking cab.

Miinukset: Breakfast - Not a lot of variety and food wasn’t good enough.

Plussat: Very good and tasty breakfast The staff were very good and always helped. The location is the best, close to good restaurants,fast food restaurants just under the hotel, bakeries,7/11 and family mart and more shopping places included the night market which is like 10 mins walking. Not close to Hualien station but there was a taxi outside the hotel in the time we had to leave(ride of 6 mins and costs 120 Taiwan dollars).

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: About 10 minutes walk to the night market and other eateries. The MacDonald across the hotel opens 24 hours. The room is clean and bed is comfortable. The hotel offers buffet breakfast for TWD280 (USD$9.50). We didn't go for it as we wanted to try local eateries.

Miinukset: About 40 minutes walk from the train station and 10 minutes drive. The hotel does not provide free shuttles from the train station. Also, the room temperature control was hard to adjust and the room was constantly humid. When I switched to Dehumidifier, the room temperature got down to 21 degree C and we had to adjust the control again. We didn't ask the reception for help because it's difficult for someone else to know what ideal room temperature another person would like. So it's not the reception's fault.

Plussat: High floor with city and sea views. 500m to Dongdamen night market and 100 to 400m to local shops. Excellent breakfast. Clean bright rooms and toilet with normal waste paper disposed into toilet rather than to separate bins. Easy checkin and out.

Miinukset: We had a family room with three beds side by side for a booking for two persons. Very large room but not as much space.

Plussat: Good location, next to Mc Donald’s 7/11 Spacious room.

Miinukset: Quite run down.

Plussat: Close to the train station and friendly staff. Room was clean and had a window. Suggest hiring a bike to really explore the area. Towels provided!

Plussat: The staff are very friendly. Instant noodles and coffee are available for free in a small dinner area on ground floor. Good location with only 5 to 7 minutes to train station.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Clean. Had a shower screen, so water does not get everywhere. There is a pretty good beef noodle place just around the corner, right near a coin laundry. Close to the station, which was good but away from the action. There is literally one bus that operates in the evening from the train station that takes forever to get to the night market but is cheap. There was lots of instant noodles and snack noodles (kind of like mamee noodles!) and those capsule coffee things.

Miinukset: Room is a little small but not really an issue. I got a small window in this room, as pictured. Whilst it was a little lacking, it was enough to let some sunlight in, which is all I required, so not really an issue either.

Plussat: Coffee!

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location, free noodles and really cheap

Miinukset: Uncomfortable beds

Plussat: Real cool and quirky decor- great location near Hualian train station and very helpful staff. Lovely and immaculately clean room. I would definitely recommend the place for anyone thinking of visiting Hualien or using it as a base for the east coast

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff, good location, big and comfortable rooms

Plussat: Good hostel near Hualien railway station (10 to 15 min by foot), so we arrived to Hualien and left our luggage in the morning and returned to the hotel for check-in later. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel serves free coffee and has some food for breakfast.

Plussat: They were great and arranged a birthday surprise for my girlfriend which was much appreciated!

Plussat: Location is good, the staff is nice and room is comfortable.

Plussat: Reputation of Regent’s Hotel

Miinukset: Detail

Plussat: We stayed here for two nights visiting Taroko; - Location is perfect, in the middle of the city center but can conveniently be reached by car - Small parking lot for free parking - Many power outlets/sockets incl USB and European ones - Great breakfast - Super friendly staff

Miinukset: - Not all sunlight was blocked, hence we woke up at 05.30 in the morning - No power outlets/sockets next to the bed

Plussat: The deluxe family room was spacious and clean, with a large sofabed for the kids (at an additional cost of TWD 1000 per night). The photos on booking.com were true to reality. Hotel is located within walking distance to the night market and a 5-10 minute drive to Hualien station. While not luxurious, this hotel is modern and clean and met our needs for a comfortable night's sleep.

Miinukset: Breakfast is rather limited if you are looking for Western options, the only cereals were 3 varieties of sugared cornflakes and the only eggs were pre-cooked scrambled (which tasted awful) or hard boiled. There is a kids play room however the lights and air conditioning were off and there were no staff present, even though we visited during the stated operating hours. The equipment is more suited to pre-school age children.

Plussat: Very friendly efficient staff, great breakfast, good location. The name suggests minimal facilities so it was an extra surprise to see the opposite. There is a free laundry room which is super convenient. Food at the nearby night market is of outstanding quality

Miinukset: The rain shower did not work, but I'm sure if I would have mentioned this they would have fixed it or changed the room. I don't care about rain showers, always use the handset so I did not mention it.

Plussat: Location, comfort

Miinukset: Staff not so friendly

Plussat: The room is very spacious, comfy and well designed as well as the bathroom. We loved very delicious breakfast with great variety of both traditional and standard dishes.

Miinukset: Everything
