"Pros: Everything perfect in this hotel, starting with staff: all sectors, receptionists, restaurant/bar staff, housekeeping. Not only friendly and helpful but really efficient and supportive. Room was impeccably clean (no carpets but modern flooring!) and quiet despite central location (two minutes walk to the railway station). Service was excellent despite high affluence due to tourist groups and weekend. Complimentary, rich supper buffet and afternoon snacks including a well groomed ice-cream bar plus coffee/tea/juices for free. Ample choice for breakfast, both western and eastern style. A heartfelt recommendation if you stay in the area!" ~Jusso

"Pros: The property had an excellent location, walking distance to the station, a riverside path and key bus stops to the night market. The host was very friendly and helpful, promptly responsive to text messages with useful tips to make the stay in Hualien very enjoyable. The Gorge was closed because of maintenance needed after a recent strong earthquake, but don’t let that stop you visiting this arty town, the coastal (free) bus tour made a terrific scenic day tour. Cons: Not much not to like. A clean spacious room, well maintained. The check in checkout was very smooth, with a cooled area to store luggage to enjoy the town until the next train, a very pragmatic place to stay." ~Jorge
