- super thing walls where you could hear everything, more like a dorm - set of rules that were more than questionable (but maaaybe a little understandable considering the thing walls) - ground floor looked very deserted and run down - only one water dispenser on the second floor

- close to the train station - self check-in - early check in

Stayed in September 2024

- Construction going on during the day (didn't bother me). - Rooms are small, as advertised. - Bed is pretty low quality (can feel the springs), but it's okay for short stay

- Good value for money. - Common area with water dispenser and place to sit/relax/recharge. - short walk from Train station. Close to McDonalds and many places to eat.

The WiFi doesn’t work in the bed, there’s a sign asking the clients to let a 10/10 review in exchange of a discount.

Free water, the air-mattress was super confortable and it’s very well located. The AC is very nice and they provide towels

Rooms are small, ok for a backpack but probably a bit complicated for a suitcase. No kitchen.

Room and bed very comfortable, hostel close to the train station.

Stayed in March 2024

The room was small (just a bed) good for sleeping but you can't hangout in the room. The shared bathroom was gross and I avoided using it.

The location was great, very close to the train station! If you're looking for an inexpensive place to spend the night, it's good.

I missed the old "social" days of hostels, I did not see a person. People were also not aware that it was actually one large room with small compartments, and were speaking as if they were alone in a room (only one night)

Good value for money, comfortable bed, decent bqthroom

Stayed in November 2023

The room's walls don't go up to the ceiling, so you might hear some noise from the neighbours

Perfect location and comfortable bed

Stayed in September 2023

As other people have said you only communicate with the staff by phone only. Leaving it difficult to get help if a problem arises. Very small room. Practically a capsule. Walls are very thin so you can hear the neighbours very clearly. (And they can hear you!)

Good location. Quite comfortable. Good shower.

Stayed in September 2023

There were ants in the room.

The bathroom was nice and the bed was soft.

Stayed in August 2023

Not the cleanest hostel. Very small rooms.

Good location, not too far to walk from the train station. The owner greeted us when we arrived.

Sound proof can be better

Great location

Stayed in July 2023

Noisy other guests Gap at the top of rooms which lets noise through Very small rooms

Good idea, Self check in, Best price in area

Stayed in June 2023

The walls are thin, you can hear people enter and exit sometime. You also can hear the traffic outside. There are earplugs for the noise, but i dislike using them. I was pretty aware of the noises before i booked this room. But for this money, for a short stay it is really really good. Still 9/10.

This Hostel is very impressive. Everything runs through communication via Line or Whatsapp, there is no reception. Still, if you need anything the owner will answer very fast and is also trustworthy. When checking-in, read, watch and understand everything the owner is sending you. It's kinda like a Room Escape game, pretty fun. There is a small food-cart with different meat-sticks in front of the hostel, it has open until 2am. So if you feel hungry or cant sleep, you can order food downstairs or grab a beer.

There were mosquitos in the room and the bed was quite soft so I had backache and didn't sleep well :/

Stayed in April 2023

It’s not sparkling clean place plus the stairs is 60degree. Tough to navigate with big luggage.

No frill hostel that provides bed and bath. No human reception. Check-in via messaging app. Main Station is 10mins walk. Lots of street food within 1KM radius. Not that noisy as mentioned in other review. Had good sleep.

Stayed in April 2023

mediocre clean common areas, and space. bathrooms likely not enough if the hostels at full occupancy, luckily we didn’t have the problem

it’s suuper inexpensive! you get a private(ish) space and self check in probably the cheapest stay in Hualien

Stayed in January 2023

nothing

Very convenient and near in train station and restaurants

Stayed in December 2022

it was nice to have a room with a window (not very common in hostels) but bring earplugs for all the noise from the street

price quality range is good

Stayed in October 2022

The check in procedure was weird. No one was there and the entry was hidden behind some trash. I had to put the money in a safe and make a video of it. The situation felt a bit sketchy and I didn’t feel super safe in the hostel. Also the room is really bad isolated (the wall doesn’t even go up to the roof) so you can hear EVERYTHING that goes on with the other guests. I was really really unlucky and had some really really disgusting neighbors on my floor. I got out of there as soon as I could

The room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable

Stayed in December 2024

A good location next to many restaurants. Good value for the price.

Stayed in November 2024

Its very small (about 20 cms of storage space and a bed) and you can hear everything from the other rooms.

If you're just looking for a place to sleep, its absolutely fine... The host is communicative, the bathrooms are clean and the location is good (close to main station) Theres a common room to chill in and free water.

Stayed in September 2024

We booked a double private but when we arrived, the room was really small and we realized the walls didn't reach the ceiling and there was a sign saying no talking or making noise (or no farting??), so really it was like a compartment of a large dorm rather than the private room we thought we were getting. I'm pretty sure the mattress was an air mattress, and the bathroom looked a little grim. It was very cheap, you get what you pay for, absolutely no frills. I would rather pay a bit more than stay again.

Good value for money and good location. Free water in the lobby to refill!

Stayed in June 2024

Very small rooms (smaller than expected.) don’t expect to have any space in the room. There would not be room for big backpacks or suitcases. We were on bikes so had small panniers. tiny amount of floor space at the foot of the bed. Rooms are not private as the walls don’t go all the way up between beds. So we could hear the other guests and the road and it was very noisy even with earplugs. They seem to offer payment to give good reviews.

Cheap stop in Hualien. Near 7/11 and short 5-10 min walk to the train station. Lots of good options around. Around 20-30 mins walk to the night market and coats area. Easy self checkin by whatsapping the owner . Bathroom had toiletries

Stayed in March 2024

Absolutely horrendous accommodation. As you come in the sofas downstairs are dirty so not a great first impression. The pictures do not do justice to how absurdly small the rooms are which contain a bed and enough space for two people to stand next to eachother by the door. Not even space for your bag. The space along the bed was also filthy. The rooms are not in fact rooms but cubicles which are separated by flimsy walls which do not reach all the way to the ceiling or stop any sound travelling. There was only one bathroom on our floor which was almost always occupied. The bathroom was by far the worst part as the entire ceiling and some of the wall was covered in thick black mold which honestly seemed unsafe to breath in though this didn't seem to be the case on all the floors. This place was also advertising monetary bribes for good reviews...there are not enough funds available in the world for me to consider this hostel in any sort of positive way...

Location not far from the train station but even in that 10 minute walk we passed at least 10 other vastly better options for accommodation which we wished we had stayed in.

Stayed in February 2024

Only one bathroom per 6 rooms was a little tight, it was usually busy all morning.

Location was goood, walking distance to the night market and pretty much right on the main street. Having a private sleeping room was also a bonus.
