Auberges de jeunesse à Hualien

Visiting Hualien as a short family trip. Booked Kindness based on stellar online reviews and wasn’t disappointed. The excellent service started at the check in when Ian generously upgraded our family of 5 from a 2-bed room to a 3-bed room with 2 bathrooms. The room was spacious and we really appreciated the benefit of having 2 available bathrooms. The amenities included are great, the breakfast, dinner service with live music, cookie service and all day drinks & self serve ice cream were as described. The hotel was quite crowded with large number of tour groups during our stay but the staff was very accommodating and we never had to wait for a table. And despite how busy they were, they always set up the 2 high chairs we needed immediately. Another amenity we really appreciated and took advantage of was the free laundry facility.  Overall it was a fantastic stay and if we ever returned to Hualien I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Kindness hotel again.

L'hôtel n'est pas situé à proximité de la gare, mais plutôt près de la plage ! Cependant, une navette gratuite assure la liaison avec la gare. Le personnel est très serviable, aimable et accueillant. La plage est magnifique et le petit-déjeuner est délicieux. Les équipements de la chambre sont également excellents. Ce n'est pas la première fois que je séjourne ici et je choisirai à nouveau cet hôtel, car le service est tout simplement exceptionnel ! Des collations et des boissons sont offertes dans le hall/café de l'hôtel.

Pour un séjour simple et sans tracas, c'est probablement l'un des meilleurs hôtels de Hualien. Il se trouve à moins de 5 minutes à pied de la gare. J'ai opté pour une chambre double privée avec douche et toilettes privées. On y sert un petit-déjeuner simple composé de pain grillé et une cuisine complète est à votre disposition pour cuisiner ou réchauffer vos repas. On m'a offert un lot de bons, ce qui est vraiment un cadeau agréable. Je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir Hualien.

A Scenic Stay with a Convenient Catch My stay at Hotelday Hualien was a bit of a mixed bag. It has some genuinely charming touches and a great view, but its location and certain amenities require some adjustment. Location & Transportation: The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the Hualien Train Station, which is fantastic if you're arriving by rail. However, I soon realized that the train station is not the city center. The main downtown area is a significant distance away—about a 40-minute walk. This means you'll either need to plan for long walks or rely on taxis and buses to get to the main dining and night market areas. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. The Room: The room itself was a highlight. It was spacious and comfortable, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. The best feature was the large window that faced the train station, with a stunning backdrop of the mountains. It was incredibly scenic and made the room feel bright and open. While the room was comfortable, I did notice that the overall design and some of the furniture felt a bit dated. It's clean and functional, but don't expect a super modern aesthetic. Amenities & Service: This is where the experience was a bit uneven. The gym was quite disappointing. It only had a stationary bicycle and a treadmill. There were no weights, no multi-gym, nothing for anyone hoping for even a basic strength workout. It felt more like an afterthought than a proper facility. On the other hand, the service had some truly thoughtful highlights. When we asked for ice, the hotel staff kindly delivered some to our room, which was a nice touch. The Special Touch: The most memorable part of the stay was a small, heartwarming gesture. The hotel provided us with complimentary postcards. The unique part? They offered to mail them for us, but not right away. They will send them exactly one year later. It's a lovely idea—a little time capsule from your trip that arrives as a surprise in the future. Overall: Hotelday Hualien offers spacious, comfortable rooms with beautiful mountain views, and its proximity to the train station is a plus for travelers. The thoughtful service, like the ice delivery and the ”postcard to your future self” program, adds a warm, personal touch. However, the distance from the city center and the very basic gym are drawbacks. It's a solid choice for a comfortable night's sleep near the station, especially if you appreciate sentimental gestures, but be prepared for the travel time to the main attractions.

Great experiance at The moment by lakeshore! The kids were thrilled by the bunk beds with curtains and privet hangers and lights 😅 It's a complex of buildings by lakeshore, we had a room with amazing mountains and gardens view. The auto check in station was simple to understand and operate, and suitable for us, since we arrived quite late. The room design is very cool, everything worked, good water pressure. The shower is separated from the toilet, so it's comfy for friends staying together. For us as a family it didn't matter. Everything in the minibar was included in the room price, and I tried the cold brew teas, they were excellent! The breakfast was served in the hotel building next to our hotel, from the same owner. Great buffet, large variety and even marked for allergies! The hotel has a parking area close by, and it's about 10 minutes drive to Taroko visitors center. All in all, I recommend this hotel for short stays, if you are with 3 or 4 kids take the bunk beds room for 6, we really enjoyed it.

Good hotel with pretty comprehensive facilities at a great location. Location wise, it's highly convenient as it's very near hualien train station and you only get to cross one traffic light to go to the hotel. Room wise, the room is pretty spacious and the bed is comfortable. The shower is also good with good water pressure and heats up quickly. Only drawback is that the quality of the breakfast is just average, as I tried better in kindness hotel and holiday inn express. Nevertheless, it's overall an enjoyable stay at this hotel that I would recommend to others.

We stayed at Lishiuan International Hotel during our visit to Hualien and had a pleasant experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. One thoughtful feature for Muslim travelers was the provision of Qibla direction information in the room. The bathroom was equipped with an automatic bidet, which added extra convenience. The hotel is in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect for a relaxing stay. A 7-Eleven is located directly opposite the hotel, making it easy to buy snacks and essentials. The hotel is also conveniently close to the jetty for whale-watching activities. We included breakfast during our stay. While Muslim-friendly options were limited, we were able to enjoy bread and fresh vegetable salad. During our stay in Hualien, we also found a Pakistani restaurant serving halal food, and the meals were delicious and satisfying.

L'emplacement est idéal, à deux pas de la gare, à seulement 10 minutes à pied. La chambre était propre et bien rangée, la douche confortable et la température de l'eau parfaite. C'est l'endroit idéal pour prendre une douche chaude et se détendre après une longue journée de visites.

Tout d’abord, permettez-moi de parler du service hôtelier.

Tout au long de mon séjour, le personnel de l'hôtel m'a toujours servi avec le sourire et une attitude amicale. Qu'il s'agisse de poser des questions ou de me faire des suggestions, ils étaient toujours prêts à m'aider et m'ont fait me sentir chez moi. Deuxièmement, je tiens à mentionner les installations de l'hôtel. Le Hualien Tianxi Business Hotel propose des chambres modernes et bien conçues. Les chambres sont équipées de lits confortables, d'espaces de travail spacieux et d'installations tout-en-un, ce qui m'a fait ressentir la chaleur de la maison pendant mon voyage. Dans l'ensemble, le Hualien Tianxi Business Hotel m'a offert une expérience de voyage inoubliable.
