I have been traveling for many, many years, in South America, Europe and Asia. I mostly sleep in hostels in shared rooms, and I would like to recommend the Justwalk Hostel in Hualien, Taiwan. The owner welcomes guests and helps with everything. The hostel is amazing in its beauty, clean and practical design, the best I have seen to date.

The bed isn't the most comfortable but the bunks are private and cosy.

The hostel was clean and I liked the layout and space downstairs. Brad was also very helpful and quick to communicate, especially with recommendations for food and activities. It was really easy to walk to from the train and bus station. The mixed dorm on L3 also had it's own bathroom and shower.

No elevator.

The place is close to train station but a bit far from anything else, the owner is super friendly and gave me a fetch to the place I wanted to go.

1) Brad the boss is really friendly, guided us on the different facilities in the hostel, and was really responsive on WhatsApp. 2) we opted for a private room with ensuite toilet, the room was really clean and beds were comfortable, quiet too. We had well rested nights. 3) conveniently located next to a supermarket and a self service laundromat is just a 2 mins walk away 4) Brad let us park our rental scooter right at the front door of the hostel (as per Taiwanese style) and helped us move the scooter to park it correctly 5) Brad knew we were going to visit Taroko and shared tips like its opening hours so as to not waste our limited time as tourists. He also shared useful suggestions like there’s more than just Taroko We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hualien, part of which was the impeccable service by Brad and his hostel’s services.

I rarely saw the owner for my whole stay, it would have been nice to have someone there to ask questions to. I also got badly bitten by mosquitos in the room on my last night, I mean like a hundred bites, which has never happened before and is still uncomfortable days later. Maybe spray the rooms, a fan would also be good! The beds are very hard unfortunately.

It’s spacious and clean, with an interesting design! Close to shops and the station. The owner is the only member of staff and is really friendly.

If I had more time I’d stay there more nights.

The owner was very friendly and helpful contacting me before the check in. The location is very good close to the train and bus station. It was clean and comfortable.

Not at all

Hostel is located in a walking distance to the train station. There is a self help laundry mart only 2 mins walk which is very convenient for the backpacker. Along the street which there are lots of restaurants and convenience stores run for 24 hours. If you wanna have a taste with Taiwanese food this is a good place to stay. About the hygiene of the hostel is clean and the environment is cozy and comfy. I strongly recommend this hostel to everyone if you wanna have a reasonable price to stay !

We arrived 2,5 hours later than expected around midnight. Although the host left the hostel at 9pm already, he opened the door for us and told us what we needed to know. Thanks for this exceptional flexibility. The location is very good, in the center of Hualien close to the train station. The beds were very comfortable, the room was well cleaned, the common area was a nice place to chill. the next morning we left early to Taroko National Park. We were able to check out early without any problems. We had a great stay and the best sleep in a long time!

A very nice hostel. The room is large and you can store your luggage under the bed. So nothing gets in the way. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. The showers and toilets are large, so you have plenty of space. The staff is very friendly and explain everything about the hostel and the city.

There was a worm in the bathroom, but other than that it was okay.

Conveniently located next to Railway and bus station. Loved the snacks and common space! Beds were surprisingly comfortable and came with lockers. There was also space outside to hang laundry.

The mattress was perhaps rather thin, but I also understand that everyone has different tastes.

Brad is the best host I've ever had. As soon as I arrived to the hostel he kindly asked what my plans in Hualien were and helped me arrange the whale watching tour and later rent a scooter. Also, as the Moon Festival was approaching, he gave me to try a few samples of traditional snacks. In addition, I enjoyed chats with him about the Taiwanese society - Brad is a great conversationalist. As for the hostel, I loved the interior design and facilities in general.
