    The street noise troubled me but that's rather personal.

    Dulan has one very great room, the 6 bed dorm room which includes a terrace with a hammock. It was so nice to relax on this terrace. At first I booked for two nights in another dorm. I have some difficulties with street noise. I ended up going from a dorm to a private to the 6 bed dorm for this reason. The private room is as well very accomodating and silent. The owner was willing to help me to find a solution for my issue with the street noise. The cafe that comes with the hostel is also very nice to sit and relax.

    We only stayed 1 night but we enjoyed our stay. It looks like there is a great atmosphere with some activities being organized for the guests. The manager was very welcoming and friendly. We were riding bicycles and he offered us to store them inside the hostel rather than leaving them parked outside. I would stay there again in the future if I'm coming back to Dulan!

    Amazing hostel. I wanted to stay 4 days but extended to 6, because I felt so comfortable there. Staying in the balcony room (6 bed dorm) is highly recommend because of the amazing views. Compared to other hostels in Dulan, the Tranquilo hostel attracts more locals and digital nomads and seems a bit more quiet. I met really interesting people there and would totally stay again! I loved the combination of being close to shops and restaurants, and having my personal space, too. The manager Austin and the staff members are always so polite and kind. Austin’s coffee is great, too. Sometimes there is a sweet lady selling cookies and cakes (highly recommended)! They taught me so much about Dulan and Taiwanese culture and made my stay memorable. If you want to go surfing, you can easily rent surf boards at a nearby shop, which is also great for socializing if you want to grab drinks and meet international travelers. Overall, great stay in Dulan and especially the Tranquilo hostel.

    This is a must go in Dulan! Most beautiful hostel in my 4 months of travels, every corner is designed with so much eye for detail, it inspires you to be creative. They even put my little artwork on their wall. I only stayed for 4 nights, but wished I could stay way longer. Bonny & Austin are honestly the kindest people ever, also the manager is lovely! Bonny made me feel so at home and Austin makes the best coffees, you have to try the cappuccino with oatmilk! I love this place, it’s magical!

    My bed was close to the window. A little bit noisy with the road, but after few minutes I slept well.

    The 2 managers of the place were very welcoming. The building had a lot of people from different country it was very nice. Well situated you have a lot of restaurant. If you want to go to taitung, you can easily take the bus.

    This is personal, I think it’s because I have old bones (half joking cause I’m only 28) that I feel like the bed is slightly too soft 🤣 It’s defo a me problem!

    It’s situated perfectly. You have food around you, and you can enjoy a breathtaking sunrise within a 10 min walk walk. There’s a convenience right opposite of you (which we needed obvs)

    Relaxed and easy-going place to stay at the main road in Dulan. The hostel and the village as well really has a backpacker vibe and in the end I extended my stay to relax a bit more. The upper floor terrace is a treasure with sea-view.

    I understand that the hostel is on the older end so there isn't much that can be done about that. When I was there it wasn't the busy season so that was a plus, but imagine it being a busy season, one bathroom on the floor that I was located at wouldn't be enough.

    I liked the location and the friendliness and knowledge of the staff.

    This is a hostel where you feel at home at the moment that you enter. The staff is very friendly, the first night they took me out to live music in the Sugar Factory. Also in the cafe / common area they have loads of nice books to read. If the weather would have been better when I was there, I’d stayed longer! Practical: you can do your laundry at the rooftop, also nice place to catch some morning sun. I stayed in the four bed female dorm, which is basic and small, but gives what you need to have.
