Great location, the whole place is spotless clean and looks new. Rooms are spacious and feel like home. The beds are comfortable. And most of all, the owner Marco is the perfect host. He went out of his way to answer all of my questions, provide updated info about the area and suggest great activities. I highly recommend this place. You will not want to leave.

A perfect stay. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The bed was amazing and harder than usual. The location is good. And most importantly, Marco (the owner) is helpful and kind.

It was very clean, the room was pretty big, new and had a balcony. Also, the kitchen looked very modern and was well-equipmented. Furthermore, there a instant noidles, coffee and tea for free and the receptionist was very helpful. The hostel is located near the night market in the city center.

Michaela

Very clean and spacious room. The room smelled fresh and not moldy like most places in Taiwan. It's exactly as in the pictures and the building is quite new. Kitchen was also super clean and modern and it had all the equipment needed to cook your food which we did quite often. There's free filtered water, free coffee, free noodles and a bigger supermarket closeby. Wifi worked and was fast. The owner was really nice guy and helped us a lot with several things. We stayed 5 nights and definitely recommend the place.

Perfect location. Brand new hostel with super nice host Marco. Thanks a lot

William

Very clean, good bed, balcony, the double rooms look more like a good hotel instead of an hostel. Good, helpful reception by the owner. Highly recommended

What a great place to stay! It’s called a hostel, but for me it felt more like a four star hotel. The whole place looks like it’s been build last week, its very clean and has spacious rooms (and even an elevator). So for this price you can’t go wrong. And Marco is truly a nice person, he helps you with everything (his mother even fixed my backpack...). It was one of the best hostels in 20 years for me.

Franco

The convenient location and very friendly host! Stay for the 2nd time and my dad had a great chat with the host Marco! The rooms are the same as the pictures. And the cleanliness is beyond expectations.

Singapore

super clean, modern, huge room, perfect location because it's silent but in the center of Hualien in walking distance to many cafes, restaurants, shops, banks and even to the night market; the owner Marco is super friendly and helped us a lot with giving advices and recommendations; to put it in a nutshell: everything perfekt, we'll definitely stay there next time again

This place was lovely to stay in. Our room was really spacious and spotless, with very comfy beds. Marco was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to help us when we stayed with him. We had a small mix up with our hiking permit for a trail in Taroko park, and he went to the trouble of trying to contact the park and then writing us a letter in Mandarin to give to the trail ranger to make sure we could do the hike we wanted! He also had loads of helpful tips for the local area and buses to the national park (he also wrote a lot of food options and notes to bus drivers in Mandarin for us to help!) His place is also near the night market, seafront and lots of nice cafes. It’s also very near the bus stops that go to the station and also to Taroko. Overall a really great place to stay.
