Nothing, everything was great!

The best hotel I've stayed in for my two weeks in Taiwan. The room was large, and the space was modern chic and smartly designed. The toilet has ample table top storage, and the toilet bowl was Japanese style. The owner was extremely helpful in recommending places to visit in and around Hualien. The hotel is as close as you can get to the Hualien train station, noting that there aren't many buildings in the immediate vicinity of the station.

The location is excellent close to the train station and the bus station. The room was a nice size with a great bath

the room didn't feel so well furnished an hence didn't feel very comfortable. It was a nice room and the design/setting was interesting, but a shame that it didn't feel well looked-after.

the bathtub was nice and big. the bed was comfy. location was good, near the station.

Honestly, nothing. This place was great. I guess they could have had breakfast but that wasn't a big deal.

Great location near the train station but quiet. Really beautiful interior and staff were helpful. Good selection of guide books. LOVED the giant tub in the room. TV was small but easy to use. Liked the view.

The only thing I didn't like was the constant smell of cigarettes on the 5th floor - I'm guessing it's from people smoking upstairs, and the whole corridor smells of it and spreads into the bedrooms.

Clean, spacious, beautiful rooms that are affordable and in a convenient location, plus super friendly and lovely staff! One of the best accommodations I've stayed from my many trips across the world!

There is not always someone on duty to answer any questions or solve problems but Chris is always very helpful with information and local knowledge. My favourite restaurant nearby which served such fabulous sushi rolls, has closed down which was very disappointing for me.

I didn't chose the breakfast option this year but I have in the past. Chris prepares an immaculately presented Taiwanese breakfast. This year I just popped round the corner to the 7/11 and had my usual sandwich, juice and banana. The room is very big and quiet as I had one of the back rooms. I also used the washing machine which was a bonus as not all hotels have such a facility. The hotel is one hundred metres from the train station so for rail travellers like me, its location is great.

The owner was really kind and patient throughout the check-in process. He provided timely advice on the sites to visit. The room was well-maintained and spacious. The proximity to the bus and train station is a big plus too. Note that you would probably need to take the bus to the main city centre.

Everything! Good location, right next to the train and bus station. Good room, nice bed. Everything on point!

That there is only one key issued for each room.

1. The staff introduces the city to you at check-in rather than just handle the administration of your stay. 2. Has free washing and drying, detergent provided. 3. Spacious room, although listed as for 4 people, the room can sleep 5 with a huge sofa. 4. Play area for young children at the lobby. 5. Comfortable lounge with free drinks to do your work/catch up with friends. 6. Has a distilled water machine in the lounge to make up for the relatively subpar City water that leaves traces of minerals even after boiling.

None.

Absolutely value for money stay! Location is perfect, near the main train station and main bus terminal (less than 5mins walk). Super convenient to get around to other parts of Hualien. 7-11 nearby as well. Room was spacious and clean (my most spacious accom in Taiwan). Most importantly there is a lift so you do not have to worry about carrying your luggages up the stairs. Staff was friendly as well, provided us with a map and showed us places of interest and eateries he reccomends. Will stay again if I am back in Hualien.

Nothing - it was perfect! If I must, it's not the guesthouse but the national earthquake warning notifications that woke me up in the middle of the night...

Hospitality from the owner was exceptional. We weren't sure where to go or what to do because of the recent earthquake, so he kindly showed us various routes we could take - whether by car rental or public transportation. He even made us breakfast from scratch! Homemade AND delicious! The guesthouse was also very close to the station as listed in their name, so it was very convenient for us.

Nothing really, all good

The owner was very accommodating and advised me for some great activities in the surrounding areas. Room is modern and spacious.

Room is spacious and clean. There is a lift within the property so no need to carry the luggages up. The host had also kindly left drinks in the common area for our consumption. Location is very convenient. The train and bus stations are within ~5mins walk from the property. We could easily get to the night market from the bus station as well. Will book again if we are in the area!

Facilities are great. Room is spacious. Location is very convenient. Literally 5 minutes walk to the bus station. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I flushed toilet paper by mistake and the staff helped resolve the issue immediately.
