Taroko Liwu Hostel Reviews

My family and i reach taroko Liwu hostel on the 17 may but no one attended to us. After much hassle of calling the owner, we then realised that the entire hostel was sold to another owner on the 16 may without informing us. The owner then allocated us to some rundown, dilapidated building with extremely poor security. It was so bad that we decided to forgo the 10% deposit and went to another hostel instead. EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE. NEVER EVER BOOK THIS HOSTEL.

Very good hostel - it's like hotel. Very helpful staff. Thanks. Just at the entrance of The Taroko NP.

The mattresses were ridiculously small. One of the welcoming staff seemed annoyed by our presence. The bathrooms stinked and the Air conditioning was smelling just as bad.

The staff was very nice, location- amazing (right at the entrance to taroko national park. Unfortunately all of the allure quickly faded when i experienced bed bug bites. Both legs and buttocks. I traveled with a friends they didn't have similar experiences. I would advise against staying here.

感謝立霧客棧的所有同仁，謝謝你們的招待。如果宿舍裏有清潔工具的話，會更好，因爲有時候會不小心把宿舍搞髒 ：）

Really enjoyed my stay. Excellent location and friendly staff. Best place to stay to see the gorge.

I can't say enough good things about this hostel.

Not typical dorms. Thin matresses on the floor, so not that comfortable, but still SUPER clean! You couldn't be closer from the park entrance! The only thing though is that there is not a lot to do at nigth, but there is a few restaurents and a 7-eleven right by! There is also a lounge with serts and TV. Lots of showers and toilets! Really enjoy the trip in the gorge and it was nice to stay on site (rather to go back to Hualien, which is about 45 minutes by scooter...)!

The sister and brother of the hostel were really nice and they have a cute dog called "little black" who often fights with the cat lol. The location is the best to visit Taroko park and open the window you gonna have the mountain, river, ocean view. Japanese style room is provided.

We stayed for 3 nights in March 2012. The hostel is located right by Taroko Gorge - it's clean, quiet, wifi, cheap, but no restaurant (7/11 close by). The directions to the hostel are poor so I would recommend going to Hualien station then popping into the tourist info office and asking what bus to take to Taroko. Show the driver the hostel name so he knows where to stop (takes 1hr). The dorm rooms were empty midweek. More info (http://djsandkp.blogspot.com/2012/03/taroko-gorgeous.html)

We had a great stay here. The owners were very kind and helpful, especially Ken! I highly recommend this place for people heading to Taroko Gorge/Hualien!

The owners were very hospitable and helpful. Ken, the owner's son, took us around town one night and throughout Taroko Park the next day. He is knowledgeable about the area and it's history. We had a lot of fun with him and really enjoyed our stay at the hostel. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable. Also, the location is great. In walking distance of the park entrance.

Perfect location with very neat dorms. We only stayed for one night but we wished we could've stayed longer!!

this place was very comfortable and in a great location. we went during chinese new year, so prices may have been a bit different. we had a double private and it was very spacious- with our own bathroom, fridge, and water boiler. i think there was breakfast, but we slept in. the park was about 5 minutes walk. it was really great.
