Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was ideal for a few nights in Hualien. The rooms were not soundproof as advertised, quite dirty, and had a strong smell of smoke. On the bright side, the staff was extremely friendly and shared valuable information with me. The location was convenient, although a bit far from key attractions. The dining experience leaned more towards Taiwanese cuisine. Overall, the facilities did not disappoint.
The hotel room had an unpleasant cigarette smoke smell, especially for non-smokers like me, and there was no fly screen on the window. However, the room itself was fine despite being next to the lift lobby.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were nice, spacious, and clean, offering a selection of water, tea, and snacks. The service was helpful, especially with providing information about must-visit attractions in Taroka, although some staff members were a bit too formal. The location was convenient, with plenty of nearby food options, but it was a bit far from key spots like the train station and the beach. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a focus on Taiwanese-style cuisine in a super awesome hotel restaurant. The facilities were satisfactory, offering the essential amenities needed for a comfortable stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfy rooms within walking distance to restaurants, the night market, and a laundry store. The staff was kind of dusty but spacious and clean. The only downside was the dust under the bed and on the floor that indicated a lack of proper cleaning.
I had a comfortable stay for 2 nights at this hotel in Hualien. The rooms were kind of dusty which made me think they weren't properly cleaned as I noticed hair and dust on the floor. The service was very nice and the staff was always available for any request, including recommendations for places to visit around the area. However, I found the staff not particularly friendly. The location was quite good, not far from the center, but it was a little far from Hualien station and required additional transportation expenses to get around. The dining options were great, offering mostly Chinese-style food, although I was expecting more Taiwanese-style dishes. The facilities were adequate for my needs but not exceptional.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with modern and clean rooms. The service was friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient, although a bit distant from some attractions. The dining experience was more Taiwanese-style. Overall, a decent value for money option.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fairly nice, with several minimarts, cafes, and restaurants nearby, but it was a bit far by foot from the train station and other attractions. The rooms badly smelt like cigarette smoke and were dirty, with mould on the walls, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering lots of information to enhance my stay. The dining options were more Taiwanese-style and local, although the food was just okay.
I found the hotel to be a cozy place with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. While the location was convenient with nearby amenities, it was a bit of a walk to key attractions. The dining options leaned towards local cuisine, and the facilities met expectations overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern and comfortable, but not top quality. The location is convenient, being near the night markets and the sea, allowing easy access to restaurants, night markets, and laundry services. However, some aspects were lacking in service, especially in providing detailed information and attentiveness to certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and good value for money, although they had a lingering smell of cigarettes and were quite basic but clean. The air-conditioning in both rooms worked well. The service was exceptional, with very nice and always available staff who were really friendly and helpful. The location had its ups and downs – it was quite good, not far from the center but silent, but at the same time, quite far from the train station and night market in a cramped space. Dining was hit or miss, with mostly Chinese-style food, and the facilities were satisfactory.
