The host was accommodating to let us deposit our luggage before the actual check-in timing. Friendly and helpful staff that offers suggestions and help, they even loaned us bikes FOC to cycle around. Free WiFi in room although the only setback was the mattress is a tad soft to our preference. Overall worth the price paid
Hi, solo male traveller and only speak English. First time in Taiwan and Hualien. Great experience here. Comfortable bed, large hot shower, balcony. Best parts were the hoists. Made me feel really welcome especially after a long day of walking and travelling. Great directions to the local markets. Even helped me book my train tickets for the next day (wrote a note, which i took to the station, booked my ticket easily).
Sadly only stayed 2 nights. Would definitely visit again.
The lady boss and young boss are "yao siu" good. They were superb. The lady boss treated us to tea, fruits and snacks and shared with us candidly on Taiwan culture and history. The young boss replied promptly when we emailed her before our stay and she too shared with us her life as a young person in Taiwan. Both of them made you feel like you are visiting a relative home.
The room, bed and bathroom are all big in sizes giving you ample space for a hotel room. Other than the huge bed, there was even a sofa bed in the room! There was even a balcony with table and chairs for you to relax. You do not need to boil hot water as it was readily available at a water dispenser right outside your room with complimentary tea and coffee. They also have bicycles that you could borrow to roam the streets.
