Dongdaemun Boutique Hotel

The stay was very good, in a good location and the rooms are very calm. The reception is very helpful.

It is located right next to Hualien Train Station, but it is the West Exit instead of the Main Exit. You need to walk pass a pedestrian bridge located inside Hualien Station to get to this exit. The hotel itself is very clean and cozy. It has quite a few convenient stores nearby, and it also provides free snacks and fruit for customers. One thing to take note is, the hotel door is not a magnetic lock, instead it is a conventional key lock. So don’t expect the door to lock by itself when you go out. But this might sometimes be a plus point because you don’t need to be worried about the situation where you being locked outside and forgot to bring your room key.

Good central location - with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Good sized room. Good air conditioning. Friendly and helpful staff.

Everything is good except something in the WiFi connection is mis configured, certain (European/English) websites don't work and it is slow.

Didn’t feel it was the cleanest place but doable for the price. The service was nice and free snacks so that’s good.
