This hostel is clean and cozy, but the location is a little bit far away from Hualien train station:(

There is nothing to complain about, the owner was very helpful and the hostel was very nice!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Also in quite a convenient location (not too far from the train station + close to the night market).

Spacious, simple furnitures. hair dryer, air-conditioning, shower gel & shampoo provided. Stella was very helpful in providing travel tips and directions. Door bell was faulty and a note with phone number was left at the gate. However we had no local number to make a phone call and had to keep banging loudly under the rain until somebody heard us. Some larger signboards or perhaps several miniature flags of different countries to indicate that it's a hostel would be great as it's hard to find.

I really liked this hostel. It's only a 10-15 minute walk from the train station. The owners are wonderful, and very helpful. They are very knowledgeable about the area and how to get around. They got us a taxi to come and get us from the hostel the next morning for Taroko Gorge and everything. The bed was very hard, but everything was clean. Towels weren't provided for us, but I don't know whether that was just us or if they aren't provided at all.

It was abit hard finding the place, even after taking a cab and asking the locals around. But the stay was pleasant and the host was really warm and welcoming.
