10/10 Exceptional

Impressive

Best location when arriving in Hualien, right by the train station and several car rental spots. Rooms are inexpensive, clean and the staff is very friendly. Would 100% go back

10/10 Exceptional

I like this "Home" very much. It's so 6C's which are Comfortable facilities, Convenience transportation, Creative decoration, Colorful design, Complimentary breakfast and most importantly Courtesy staffs especially Winson, Bure and Zoe. They are knowledgeable, friendly, speedy and great teamwork especially when u check in and any inquiries. Boss of Wow Hostel, please treat them well and raise their salary more
MUN TAT, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a surprise to me. While marketed as a hostel, they provided impeccable service. The staff were helpful and friendly; and the location is superb. It is directly opposite the Hualien Train Station (you can see the green building from the station, and vice-versa). Saves you the trouble of finding a taxi or alternative transport (which is helpful as it is difficult to get an Uber ride in Hualien). The overall bus station is also beside the train station (allowing for easy transfers to the inner parts of the city like the night market and Taroko Gorge). Great experience, will recommend. Booked a private room and it is equivalent to any self respecting hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall, a wonderful stay. My private room was quiet with light housekeeping service, front desk staff very helpful, pre-trip responses to my messages on Expedia were answered quickly, nice property. Directly across from train and 1/2 block to bus station. Special thanks to Jodie for her great restaurant recommendations, Bure (& Jodie & other gal on evening shift) for helping me plan the rest of my vacation, to Bosh and Winson for a smooth check-in. Overall, I would give this property 4.2/5. I found it was a bit overpriced for a room in a hostel. Marks deducted as the room is quite small, bed configuration odd as the bed blocks the small window, a table to put my suitcase on top of would be nice, better lighting needed, more signage in English, could use an extra elevator (not an easy fix), and last...:thank you for the complimentary breakfast, but it would be nice if you could include some items for the North American or European clientele, such as hardboiled eggs, granola or muesli, milk with coffee, juice, etc. I feel this hotel caters more towards national tourists, and not international.
