    This hostel has seen its better days that many "free bikes" parked at the front doors are actually no longer roadworthy. Would be awesome if the bikes are properly repaired and the the public areas on the ground level a bit tidier.

    Second stay here. A nice hostel for those who are travelling on a budget. The location is really great that the night market is literally a stone's throw away and it only takes a 10-minute's walk to the seaside promenade. Walking from TRA Hualien station to this hostel takes around 35 minutes on foot but it would be an interesting walking tour for historically minded travellers, as this will take you through the heart of Hualien city where you see modern, cold war buildings or even much older ones from the Japnese era. Plenty of space beside the bunker bed for your luggage is a huge plus. Camping lanterns add a touch of coziness and sense of bushcraft. Can't recommend it more.

    The bathroom and dorm were not cleaned during my whole stay (6 days)

    The common area is so cute and full of character, the rooms are well designed and very comfortable. There’s a big shelf next to the bed, and a very decent sized locker. The free bike was awesome!!

    the sinks in the female bathroom might needs some scrubbing. perhaps not as many females residents have been around so the bathroom was a bit un cared for.

    Very convenient location, around 5 min walk from the night market and close to a bus stop goes to the train station.

    The walls are a little thin but not any worse than other hostels

    Each bed has its own closet/ cupboard with a sliding door to lock your stuff behind. The eating space was cosy. I enjoyed my time writing and watching the people walk by. Also, free bike use and so close to the largest night market. haha, and free snacks!!!

    It wasn’t very clean in the bathroom and common area there was hair everywhere. I stayed there 4 nights and the same hair was there. I wore flip flops in the shower. Overall though apart from the cleaning have no complaints.

    Good location, excellent wifi in rooms, sheets were nice. Bed and pillow comfortable and each bunk had a lot of storage so felt very private.

    The front of the hostel and common/reception area probably need a little bit of tidying because the bedrooms and bathroom are very clean

    The bathroom is very clean and smells fresh, the bed is very comfortable, clean and spacious, and the bicycles are free to use (very convenient exploring the city with a bicycle)

    The bed is very soft, which surprised me, and my sleep was not the best. Also, the AC is blasting, and it gets super cold during the night, but that may be my European problem. Also, the hostel is not exactly social, since there are only two dorm rooms.

    The hostel is great, and there are free bikes for you to borrow, which is perfect for riding along the coast of Hualien. Additionally, there are free small snacks prepared for you. The bed in the dorm is spacious; there is a great space for locking your things near the bed. The showers and toilets are overall clean, and the owner is great. The location is quite far from the train station, but very close to the night market, which is absolutely perfect.

    The host was largely MIA. More could be done to provide local tours and traveling information. I notice there were some brochures on the table only at the end of my trip. The board of the bed frame is significantly higher than the mattress, had quite a few painful knocks at the start.

    The location was absolutely fantastic, a 5 minutes walk to the huge night market at dongdamen. Facilities was very clean too. The mattress was very comfortable too. A small towel is provided. There's also complimentary snacks.

    There was a lot of clutter in the common area and they do not provide a towel for guests. They say that they provide towels but it is a very small towel, like a wash cloth. Make sure to bring your own.

    The hostel was very clean and I felt very comfortable at all hours of the day.

    Not the best atmosphere for a hostel - but that really depends what you are looking for.

    Nice, quiet hostel in a good location in Hualien (near to Dongdamen night market). The common area and the rooms were very nice and the host was very helpful. Also the value was excellent.
