2-Star Hotels in Hualien

This guesthouse is brand new! The hosts, a lovely couple, even offered to pick me up from Yuli train station and drove me around Yuli, pointing out famous local eateries. They also lent me a bicycle. It's very close to the entrance of the bike path, which is definitely worth checking out. Chatting with them made time fly by; I wish I could have stayed longer.

This is a great place to stay if you're exploring Hualien City! It's just a 2-minute walk to Beibin Park, so you can go see the ocean whenever you like. From the room, you can enjoy beautiful mountain views of Hualien. The lobby offers a variety of complimentary snacks, instant noodles, fruit, coffee, and tea. There's even a free massage chair in the attic to relax in. The breakfast is also delicious, and if you're in a hurry, they can pack your main course to go. We stayed in a quad room (one double bed, one bunk bed with two single beds), which was perfect as my friend had a two-year-old and my other friend and I both prefer our own beds. Having an elevator was a huge plus, making it easy to handle luggage or travel with a child, although there are a few steps due to the elevated design. The floors were impeccably clean; I forgot my indoor slippers but walking barefoot was very comfortable. The only minor drawback is that the lobby air conditioning isn't always on, so it can get a bit stuffy and warm in the evenings. Other than that, I absolutely loved the ambiance, location, and the incredibly friendly and responsive staff.

It is basically a mansion sitting in an exclusive neighbourhood. The location is excellent! It sits on high ground overlooking the city and you can view the sunrise from the balcony early in the morning. At night you can sit outside the garden and watch the city lights while sipping on a cold beer. The best thing about the place is the owner. He was very hospitable and drove us into town and back! In the morning we had a 5 course breakfast before setting off.

Lovely hotel right near the dongdamen night market, great location and easily accessed by public transport. There's a fantastic brunch place just round the corner. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they have free laundry facilities. Rooms are comfortable and clean, and they have a rooftop terrace with views of the mountains and the sea. Free shuttle service to the station so long as you contact the staff in advance. Bikes for hire on location. Added bonuses: they have an adorable dog, welcoming snacks and drinks, a water fountain, and a free coffee machine. There were families with small kids who seemed very happy, and us childless grown-ups were very content with the level of sound insulation 😂 Things to be aware of: only one staff member speaks English (but all are happy to communicate and patient with Mandarin learners). Make sure you have cash on arrival for a deposit for towels - it'll be returned at check out.

For girls, if you have a large suitcase, you need to request a room on the ground floor. Otherwise, it is too hard to walk up 20 or 30 stairs with a heavy suitcase. The rooms have different themed decorations, with a bathtub and a large dressing table. It is nice to stay for a few days.

Very close to Ocean Park. Good service attitude, late arrivals also provide self-check-in, breakfast is delicious, comfortable environment ～～ The sky is full of stars at night, and the sea view is seen during the day.

I found a room on a temporary business trip This hot water is hot very quickly. There is hot water in three seconds. The water volume is also very large It was arranged on the top floor that day. I was afraid it would be very hot. As a result, the air conditioner will be cold immediately after it goes on. Very quiet nearby But there is a lot of food in about5-10 minutes walk. The overall life function is not bad!

Upon arrival you will see QR codes on the door, 3 QR codes (WhatsApp, WeChat, and Line), scan your desired code and instead of texting, call the number as the owner will respond promptly. She will give you the door key pad code and your room number. Enter the sliding door and go up to your room where you will find the physical key in the door. Not sure if all rooms are like this but the mattress was directly on the floor, it made no difference to us as the mattress was comfortable. Overall enjoyable stay and seamless experience.

The price is okay and the location is great. There are many restaurants and supermarkets right next door. The night market is also within a 5-10 minute walk. However, there's no cleaning service, as no one came to clean or change the towels during our six-night stay. Perhaps we should have asked about it. The theme is fun, but the rooms are very dark and you don't really feel comfortable. On the plus side, the staff is reachable via WhatsApp if there's a problem and takes care of it quickly.

It's clean, it's close to the train station, where you can rent a scooter to explore Taroko National Park, also have a gas station next door to refill your scooter and you are next to the main road to go to the National Park. There is enough stuff to cook yourself something. Communication with the landlord on self check-in went well and I could check-in earlier because my bed was free, actually I was the only guest in the dorm on my first of two nights. It was calm and the entire hostel & bathroom was very clean. I liked, that you can buy razors, one-way towels, toothbrush kit for a small fee, even if I didn't need it. The only downside, and that's why I gave it -3 stars in amenity was, that the mattress was so hard, it felt like sleeping on the floor. The room had a bit of strange moisture smell, but I could get used to it quickly. If there would be a thicker, less hard mattress, that place would get total points. On the back door / balcony you have a nice view of the mountains. (The picture attached is taken from the road, but if you crop the lower half, it's what you see)
