We stayed a couple of nights in Hualien so we could check out Taroko Gorge. Hualien itself, after walking around every corner of it, is not much of a tourist destination persay. But as a jump off for taking in Taroko Gorge it is handy. We grabbed a train from Taiwan and when we arrived got a taxi with no... more

We stayed two nights at the C'est Jeune, sold on it by its #1 position on Trip Advisor. It is a simple hotel, probably the equivalent of 3 stars in the US, but it's clean, comfortable, and quiet. Rooms are plenty big with bottled water, tea, electric kettle, shampoo, toothbrush, slippers, and all other standard Asian amenities. The bed was... more

Pros: 1) Very nice and elegant. 2) Helpful staff. A young receptionist (a girl) actually helped us carry 2 pieces of our luggage up the stairs to our room. She must be really strong. 3) Breakfast in bed. Yummy sumptuous food, though not a lot to choose from. 4) Discount vouchers for shopping at Hualien City. 5) 24-hour unlimited supply... more

This hotel is easily the best on offer in the beatiful little city of Hualien. It is within walking distance of the main triangle shopping district as well as the Nan Bin Park facing the ocean. The rooms aren't massive but are well appointed and extremely clean. The staff are wonderful and even gave us a lift to the train... more

The hotel staff is very friendly and will fetch you free to and from city railway station which is about 2km away. The hotel is just a short walk to the city shopping area and close (about... more

Overall a very nice and comfortable hotel which made our stay in Hualien very enjoyable. Good points included: 1. Friendly and helpful reception. Tried a little to sell us a tour to Taroko (NT500 a person), but when we said we wanted to do it ourselves they spent quite a lot of time finding bus and train information. 2. Free... more
