Stairs, but probably good for me, difficult to actually get to the water at the beach

Quaint quirky little homestay, fabulous balcony with view out over the promenade and out to sea

Really, not much we don't like.

Good porridge breakfast made by the owner's dad. The hotel is right next to the beach, and you can see sunrise in the morning from your room. A day tour of Hualien is available through the manager. The driver provides excellent local history, but it is only in Mandarin.

I wish next time I can stay in the room with sea view from the balcony😊

Location easy to reach

Friendly owners, perfect location (close to night market, seaside, parks/bike path), large, comfortable rooms.

We should have chosen the ocean view room :)

It is a really small hotel with only 6 rooms in total, which makes it a very private place. They offer decent breakfast in a nice room facing the beach. You can exit the hotel through the back door directly to the coastline.

The place was a bit hard to get to from the Hualien Station, generally infrequent buses in the city and a fair bit of a walk after the bus (~10min). The homestay is well maintained and spotless, although one can tell the furniture is dated. Something to note: there's also no elevator with the rooms on floors 2,3,4.

The sea view is stunning. It's also conveniently right next to a bicycle rental shop, highly recommend you take a morning to rent a bike for 3hr (only 150TWD) and go along the bicycle-only coastal route! It's also located beside the night market in Hualien (~5min walk). The room also comes with a nice balcony to relax on :)

The breakfast was really comforting and homemade. A great start to a day visiting Hualien and Taroko Gorge.

Nothing

Staff is very kind and went out of their way to drop us off at train station. Home cooked breakfast!

Beware that this accommodation does not have a lift. The highest floor is 4th floor. No staff will carry up the luggage for you. There's no shuttle service as claimed in the description. It's actually paid taxi (one of the staff drives taxi). No housekeeping offered for 3 days stay - no disposing of rubbish, no change of towels. Nothing. Given that this is homestay, the hospitality of the hosts is definitely lacking. TLDR, in short the service doesn't live up to a taiwan homestay, cannot even compare to an average hotel. Arrived with the female staff not aware that we're arriving. The staff called and checked with someone and chided the pax in front of us while we were waiting for her to confirm. This made us felt unwelcome. No smiles, purely business. Thinking that this is a homestay, we bought a local produce for the host. Host/staff received with total uninterested look on his face. He might not like the item, but at least look happier when receiving the item. As we need to set off early in the morning, we gave a heads-up to the host as we don't want them to overprep the breakfast. Host/staff was unappreciative and has a look of "why r u telling me this for". Last day of our stay, had a quick breakfast and while we were getting out of the place, the staff that drives taxi came out to ask if we're checking out and if we need a ride. We told him that we've booked a ride already. He became totally uninterested and left without saying anything. Total bumper, was expecting friendly host and it turns out to be a bunch of unfriendly staff/host. Even a typical average TW hotel can offer much friendlier service.

View of the sea right at the room is great! Can even see the sunrise, though slightly obstructed by the coconut/palm tree in front. You can walk through the backyard of homestay and reach the coastal walk area, though u cannot walk to the water area.

There was no housekeeping. I suppose you could bring your towels downstairs and ask for replacements. On my last morning I found a cockroach sitting inside my teacup in the room. I have a recommendation for others. There are at least 5 or 6 other lodgings adjacent to this one. So, do some price comparison. This lodging is $80 U.S. nightly through Booking and I feel it's a bit on the high side.

Adjacent to night market. Room is very large. Bed was comfortable. Mountain bike available to use on area bike paths. Transport to rail station is included.
