Bayhouse Comfortel Hualien Hostel, hotel in Hualien City

Bayhouse Comfortel Hualien Hostel offers simple and affordable accommodations in Hualien City. Free WiFi can be enjoyed throughout the property.

Hostels can be very similar. This one stuck out because it felt like home. The staff was very attentive and Kara who greeted me and was the receptionist on duty, made the place feel very special with her amazing smile and friendly personality. She also speaks fluent English and was super helpful with tips for activities. I wanted to stay several nights but the place was booked. I see why it would be. This place is a “must return” on my Taiwan list. It’s a short walk to the train station. The bus to Taroko is very close. The hostel is clean and they have a very nice community area where you can work, make friends, have dinners and read the many notes on the wall from previous guests. They also have maps for sightseeing spots. Washing machine is available too.

Captain Not At Home, hotel in Hualien City

Located within 1.6 miles of Beibin Park Beach and 1.8 miles of Nanbin Park Beach, Captain Not At Home provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Hualien City.

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...

    Best hostel I‘ve had yet in Taiwan. Comfortable beds, really clean facilities and a nice atmosphere. The cute cafe downstairs is totally worth the (a tiny bit) higher prices. I‘d even recommend that cafe to someone who‘s just visiting Hualien.

    Spacious room. Curtains for the lower beds. Cozy atmosphere. Few types of tea available for the guests for free of charge. IKEA sharks as parts of decoration (joking but it was cute). Comfy armchairs in the common area. In general it was the best hostel during our 2 weeks trip around the island. Very good value for money.
