Reviews of Bayhouse Comfortel Hualien Hostel

10 minutes walk from the train station.

I was on the 3rd floor, no elevator. Only one toilet together with a shower in the room. No other toilet on the floors. If someone takes a long shower and I need to get to the toilet, I needed to step two floors down. Very inconvenient

The hostel has a very nice, positive vibe and puts emphasis on sustainability which I like. Kara, the manager, is super friendly and helpful. She gave me a lot of tips and information for things to do in/around Hualien and also made sure that my room change went as smooth and easy as possible. I've stayed in two different private rooms (because they were already booked for my other days) at this hostel and both were spacious, clean and the beds were super cosy and comfortable. The location is convenient - close to the train station and walking distance to the city center.

During the day you hear trains and airplanes passing by but during the night it's all quiet which is more important.

The travellers are very friendly. The social space is very relaxing setting

Everything about it

The only down side would be the super loud jet sound. But not at the right time so I had an awesome sleep.

Very friendly and helpful receptionist. I had a pleasant stay.

Nice, clean hostel with very friendly staff. I’d love to stay here again if I visit Taiwan.

The location is very good, only ten minutes walk from the train station and close to plenty of restaurants and convenience stores. Everything is thought of here and I overall found it very comfortable and great value for the money. Very clean and spacious rooms.

Just two small things. There was no hand soap in our bathroom which I think was not very cleanly. It was also very loud because of being right near the train tracks and also with the jets flying overhead (that can’t be helped though more of a warning to bring ear plugs).

Lovely!

We loved Bayhouse! Very friendly and accommodating staff, we were checked-in early without even asking. There’s so much attention to details in the place from useful information to environmentally friendly toiletries. Everything was clean and comfortable and we would 100% return

Very good location as it is close to Hualien's main station. The room i got was quite spacious. I wish I could stay there for longer as I would have time to use the extra space I had in my room. The bathroom is also quite big. Overall I say I was very comfortable during my stay and it felt like home. The only thing that I would say is on the negative side is the noise coming from the train and the fighter jets every morning. But earplugs solved it for me. I'd definitely book it again.

Owner.

The drains smell.

location really close to the train station, really friendly owner and a nice common area everything was clean

nothing

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to the train station

Many hiking trails closed because of earthquakes

It was a lovely hostel with a great location. It was a bit unfortunate that there was no one at the hostel when I arrived around the time they said they would be there in the chat (6 pm or so). Luckily the key was there and another guest helped me find my room because we couldn't figure out what was written on the key. When I was having dinner later on the hostel messaged me that they were there for check in. So I had to go back for the check in. The bathroom and room were not my favorite but maybe I was spoiled by the amazing hostels I stayed at before in other cities in Taiwan. Which were cleaner and nicer looking than some 4 star hotels. I only saw someone at the reception 2 times during my stay. Everyone is different but I prefer to stay in hostels or hotels over airbnb so I can ask the receptionist questions about what to do and where to go and such. In this case this wasn't possible since I only saw someone when checking in and the day before check out. The bed was fine for me and my roommates were nice too. Overall my stay was decent.

The host is very friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist guests. The rooms are extremely cozy and comfortable, especially, the bathroom is super clean, which I really appreciate. Definitely come back next time!
