I was in Hualien one night for a business visit and decided to give this hotel a try as the new Le Meridien I was hoping for would not open until January 2024 and I am glad I made the right choice! This is a simple local hotel located in the center of downtown with great facilities and super comfortable guestrooms - I now understand why the hotel review received many positive feedback. Location of the hotel is also within short walking distance the famous Dongdamen Night Market (2 blocks away). People at front desk reception need a little bit training but my local language fluency help ease the communication issue. I was assigned to a comfortable, modern and spacious room with everything laid out nicely. A few nice little touches I was surprised to see (e.g. a bidet) in a local hotel at a lesser popular city in Taiwan. Overall the interior is great. My only issue is the bed is a bit too hard for me otherwise everything else is fine. Breakfast is served on the first floor in a huge dining space with plenty of food item choices. Boy was I surprised to see so many tourists from Southeast Asia! Guess this hotel is popular among tourists. To sum up, this hotel is absolutely a pleasant find. It does cater to tourists but it is also suitable for short business trip purpose. Most importantly, this hotel is very reasonably priced considering its location and facilities. I am planning to use Le Meridien for my future trip but if the price is too high, I would be more than happy to return to this nice local hotel.

The bed is very hard so a little bit uncomfortable to sleep on. Front desk staff was courteous but needs a bit more training.

Mostly comfortable, spacious There was a group of maybe 100 students that checked in on the same day as me, I could hear them loudly in the corridor but much less in the room so the sound proofing was good.

Toiletries weren't provided in the room. Breakfast had limited options - there were no sweet options, only savory and the food ran out but wasn't replenished. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable

Located in the centre of city and walking distance to the night market. For its price it's a lot better and fancier than expected. The room is massive, new, clean, modern and comfortable. Lots of breakfast food options. Underground carpark so a lot more convenient and you can just walk around the city without worrying about parking.

Near to many eateries and shopping, yet at a quiet and peaceful corner. Local market just round the corner, wonderful.for exploring and enjoying the local scene. Good sound proofing in rooms, toilet and shower separate a big plus. Housekeeping staff excellent.

Gym was a little small. There is no safe in the room.

Everything was perfect. Room was clean and spacious, beds were comfy. Great location within walking distance to the night market. Very good breakfast.

Before we arrived we got a message that we had to park elsewhere when parking lot is full, but when we arrived there was plenty of parking space.

The room was fantastic. The shower, wash stand and toilet were separated. There was tea, coffee and water. Breakfast was really good but - for those to who that matters - mainly Asian.

We were missing mugs for tea and coffee. The cups are very small.

I forgot my rings, bracelet and earings at the hotel. The hotel sent me back everything at their own cost. I am very grateful.

Breakfast needs improving. There aren't many options and I think they reheat leftover.

Convenience to local city centre, friendly staff and great service. Would definitely stay again when we're back in Hualien

Didn't offer laundry service and the self service washing machine didn't look reliable

Very good location. Modern and spacious room, good breakfast. Very helpful staff Also their washer and dryer are very efficient and helped me a lot.

Hotel is within walking distance to dongdamen night market. Hotel staff are friendly. Receptionists are very helpful, assisted in booking taxis. Rooms booked are spacious. There are some eateries short distance from hotel.
