"Pros: Location: a short walk in a straight line from the train station. Has 7/11, family mart, Dingo (Hualien's boba chain), a breakfast eatery, bicycle rental shop and even a live music bar (1709) very close by! Host: super kind and hospitable Captain who will answer all your questions to the best of his abilities and give you plenty of recommendations! He made sure that we were safe during the earthquake and even brought us (me and some other guests staying at the time) out cycling the next day when most of the shops were closed. Facilities: toilet is EXTREMELY clean, water pressure is somehow even better than my own home toilet in Singapore... bed is so comfy that I had trouble waking up each morning... Cons: Only downside is that as some rooms do not have windows, it can smell musty if people hang their wet towels in the room. But easily solved by hanging your towel in the laundry area downstairs or just on the staircase banister outside your room." ~Claire

"Pros: I like that it’s very near from the station and everywhere. The room is equipped with all necessary stuffs." ~Hafizha

"Pros: Walking distance to Hualien TRA and there's a lot of scooter rental shop around the area. If you are planning to take early TRA then this is a good option. We drop off our bag and proceed to our scooter rental shop." ~Amirah
