Hualien City hotels near Pine Garden

Pros: The Location, the cleanliness and the staff, very helpful. Love the experience staying in here

Cons: The bed little bit hard

Pros: Staff is amazing but not properly informed about the trail situation at Toroko Gorge!! Breakfast should start officially at 6 30 am as most tourists catch the 7:00 am bus to the gorge which luckily is only a 2 minute walk away as the train and bus station are on your door-step!! Great food, atmosphere, beds. Very well designed and decorated. I highly recommend staying here!

Cons: Unfortunately the staff and owner of the hostel have not kept up to date with the status of the various Taroko Gorge trails. Had i known which trails were closed or partially closed i would have just bought a one day bus pass rather than a two day pass. Luckily it was easy to sell the 2nd day to an arriving traveller for 150 NT. Also when you are trying to visit any popular tourist attraction for the first time that is as time-sensitive for planning your trail hiking it is very important to have the most up to date info. Just by accident did i talk to the government office at the last trail area did i find out what trails were affected. Dont get me wrong YOU MUST VISIT Toroko Gorge. Its amazing. Top tourist attraction of Taiwan. Oh the govt office said the map was out of date!! Annnnd..even when i googled the gorge nowhere did i see i had to get a permit weeks in advance for the 5-6 hour old trail. That was really disappointing to find out when i checked in at the hostel. I think they give preference to locals when issuing permits which is not right!

Pros: Great breakfast. Very friendly staff to advice and help arrange our travel.

Cons: The room is small, difficult for traveller with big luggage.

Pros: Location, property clean and well maintained

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hostel is in front of the train station, which is very convenient. The girls at the reception were GREAT. Ask for their food recommendations (dumpling place for lunch - beef noodle place for dinner), you will not regret it.

Cons: The beds in the dorm room creaked quite a lot.

Pros: Good location. Clean. I was in female dorm room. En suite with 3 beds, no window. Good simple breakfast. I like the dining area, cosy.

Cons: Room a bit dim.

Pros: Location was really good. Short walk to everything. Breakfast was fine (enough options for some western food). The staff was also really helpfull and nice. I would recommend the hotel!

Cons: The smell in the lobby was not so nice.

Pros: Good service staff - able to let us check in at expected timing even when they are still busy clearing/checking out all the rooms. Able to let us store our luggage while we are out for our tour. Convenient - It’s pretty near to my tour pick up location and 10mins walk to night market. It’s also quite near to hualien station when taking cab.

Cons: Breakfast - Not a lot of variety and food wasn’t good enough.

Pros: - surprisingly spacious, well equipped room with clean bathroom - very comfortable bed - in centre of Hualien

Cons: - Humidity smell in hotel and rooms - Not all staff able to communicate in English or any other language than Mandarin - not enough light in bathroom - limited choice in breakfast

Pros: Shower was fantastic beds were comfy. Room design was nice. Location was good. Good breakfast options. Short walk to the night market.

Cons: Would have been nice to have a bar.

Pros: Free parking. One block from hotel. Breakfast everything what you need to have a start into day.

Cons: Nothing found. OK maybe the hot chocolate was not sooooo good ;)

Pros: We booked a quad room for 3 people and got a room in what looks like a new annex. The room was spacious, had 4 single beds with room left over for a small seating area. The breakfast buffet had decent variety, we particularly enjoyed the Taiwanese porridge selection.

Cons: The spaghetti with cream offered in the breakfast buffet was terrible and should never be served again.

Pros: Good sized comfortable room. Quiet. Good breakfast.

Pros: Very comfortable rooms. Rooms are clean and well maintained.

Cons: Location not near to night market.

Cons: Great staff - very helpful and convenient location

Pros: Right in the heart of Hualien City

Cons: No gym

Pros: We stayed here for two nights visiting Taroko; - Location is perfect, in the middle of the city center but can conveniently be reached by car - Small parking lot for free parking - Many power outlets/sockets incl USB and European ones - Great breakfast - Super friendly staff

Cons: - Not all sunlight was blocked, hence we woke up at 05.30 in the morning - No power outlets/sockets next to the bed

Pros: The deluxe family room was spacious and clean, with a large sofabed for the kids (at an additional cost of TWD 1000 per night). The photos on booking.com were true to reality. Hotel is located within walking distance to the night market and a 5-10 minute drive to Hualien station. While not luxurious, this hotel is modern and clean and met our needs for a comfortable night's sleep.

Cons: Breakfast is rather limited if you are looking for Western options, the only cereals were 3 varieties of sugared cornflakes and the only eggs were pre-cooked scrambled (which tasted awful) or hard boiled. There is a kids play room however the lights and air conditioning were off and there were no staff present, even though we visited during the stated operating hours. The equipment is more suited to pre-school age children.

Pros: A good variety of choices. Value for money

Cons: There wasn't anything that I did not like

Pros: Room was modern and clean, we didn't miss anything. The breakfast was rather Asian orientated, but there was enough western food as well. It was really convenient that we had the possibility to rent bikes for free at the hotel! The location of the hotel is really quite, we didn't hear any annoying noises from the airport or the street.

Cons: The communication in English was a bit difficult, but everything worked out well at the end.

Pros: Quite and comfortable

Cons: Breakfast just okay

Pros: Location is perfect, nearby main station, central bus station and car rental offices.

Cons: Breakfast could be improved: e.g. coffee quality and pure fruit juice instead of water, sugar and chemistry, especially in country full of fruits like Taiwan.

Pros: breakfast: dumplings and fruit were tasty. great location for train nice and quiet spotless room and bathroom nice decor

Cons: the baby bed was a little dangerous due to old fashioned style: loose bedding. baby could easily get caught under mattress.

Pros: The hotel is 5-minutes walk from the Hualien train station but it takes 5-minutes taxi drive to get to the down town where the busy area is. Therefore it depends on your need to stay in Hualien. For me, I am on a business trip and need to be close to the train station. This location is perfect for my stay this time. There is also a 7-11 and supermarket nearby.

Pros: Great location if you want to be near train station! Very comfortable hotel!

Cons: No pool but othe than that it was great!!

Pros: 1. Provides free bike rental service 2. Offered free pick-up when we were trapped in heavy rain

Cons: The washbasin was leaking.

Pros: great breakfast and location.

Pros: Room was ok and relatively clean.

Cons: The location is horrible, there is nothing around and you have to take a taxi to the center if you dont want to walk for 40 minutes.

Pros: Clean

Cons: Hear noises from the next room

Cons: "guarenteed parking" was a little far... washroom lights were a little dark at the mirror... other than those, everything was fine.

Pros: Spacious very comfortable room, with great breakfast selection.

Cons: The hotel is about 35 minutes from the main area with the main attractions, night market, restaurants, cafe’s and bars although there were a few restaurants on the road leading up to the hotel. Went in October and the restaurants were empty on Zhongmei road. The hotel says it has a pool and garden on the rooftop however the rooftop was unkept and the pool was an empty corner jacuzzi.

Cons: The location wasn't to convenient.

Pros: I've stayed here previously and found it great, hence I came back. Great location for my needs, the rooms are also fantastic and big. Only had the breakfast a few times as I was often out the door early but each time it was good. I'd stay there again and probably will do. 7/11 across the street for snacks! Very helpful staff at all times.

Cons: No complaints, everything was good. I have no reason. I don't speak any Mandarin, maybe if I did that would have made things easier when speaking to the staff, but its barely worth mentioning.

Pros: The toilet is so good

Cons: The room and bed is so small
