"Pros: I recently stayed in a double deluxe room with a balcony at Cheese Bon in Hualien, and overall, my experience was positive. The check-in process was smooth, setting a welcoming tone for the stay. While the room, number 201, was on the smaller side for two people, it was perfectly adequate for our one-night stay. The location of Cheese Bon is its standout feature, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and a 7-11, making everything we needed readily available right at our doorstep. For those driving, it’s worth noting that the hotel has limited parking, just two spots. We called ahead to reserve a parking space for $6 a day, a move I’d recommend to anyone visiting with a car. The room’s air conditioning was effective, a relief in the warmer months, and the bed was comfortable, providing a cozy night’s sleep for both of us. Although the room lacked a safe, it did include a large trunk, which we used to secure our valuables with our suitcase locks, an adequate workaround. Our room was exactly as pictured, which is always a pleasant surprise, as it met our expectations without any unwelcome surprises. While the room’s size and the limited parking might be drawbacks for some, the terrific location and the comfort of the accommodations made up for these minor inconveniences. Cheese Bon is a great option for travelers looking for a straightforward, comfortable stay in Hualien, especially considering the value you get for the price." ~Diane

"Pros: The room and bed are very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable (to European standards). Water bottles provided. Our room was on the top floor and there was only one other room at the other side of the corridor, so it was very quiet eventhought it was on the street side. AC works very well and quiet, no annoying lights. No breakfast included, but in the vicinity there are many options. There is a common area which was like a home style living room with water machine. The land lady is very nice and friendly. She reserved a free parking place for us. In the morning we were brutally shaken awake by the 0403 earthquake and she immediately made sure we're OK. Everything was OK, no blackout, no damage, very strong and reliable house. Cons: We liked everything" ~Carmen_hk
