Hotel Overview

Located at No. 103, Guolian 1st Road, Hualien City, this small property focuses on comfort and convenience rather than frills, making it a great pick for travelers who prioritize location and value. Accommodations include soundproofed, non-smoking family rooms, all fitted with crisp linens, bedside sockets, clothing racks, and private en-suite bathrooms with showers, hair dryers, toilet paper, and slippers.

Shared facilities extend across the property: a communal kitchen with a dryer for guest use, a leafy garden to relax in after a day of exploring, a shared lounge with board games and puzzles, and free WiFi available across the entire building. Guest services include private check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a helpful travel咨询 desk staffed by English and Mandarin speakers who can help you book tours and plan your itinerary. For safety, the property features 24/7 security cameras in public and exterior areas, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and key card access. Note that there is no on-site parking, so guests driving will need to arrange for public parking nearby.

Nearby Attractions

Three top local spots are all within easy reach of the hotel:

• Qixingtan Beach: Just a 10-minute drive from the property, this sweeping crescent of pebbly beach is famous for its turquoise Pacific waters and views of the Central Mountain Range rising dramatically from the coast. It’s ideal for sunrise walks, cycling along the coastal bike path, or flying kites on clear days.
• Hualien Cultural and Creative Industries Park: A 15-minute walk from the apartment, this repurposed old brewery is now a hub for local art, craft markets, independent cafes, and live music. Wander the leafy grounds, pick up handmade souvenirs, or grab a cup of locally roasted coffee.
• Taroko Gorge National Park: The most iconic attraction in Hualien is just a 40-minute drive from the hotel. This dramatic marble canyon carved by the Liwu River features suspension bridges, hiking trails of all difficulty levels, and stunning views of plunging gorges and misty mountain peaks.

Travel Tips

Since there is no on-site parking, if you’re renting a scooter or car, book a spot at the nearby public parking garage on Guolian Road a day in advance, especially during peak holiday seasons. The hotel’s travel desk can arrange affordable shuttle services to Taroko Gorge for guests who don’t have their own transport. For food, head to the nearby Hualien Night Market, a 10-minute walk away, to try local specialties like Hualien grilled squid and mochi. Pack layers if you’re heading to Taroko Gorge – temperatures can be much cooler in the canyon than in the city. Finally, be sure to leave time to sit and relax in the hotel’s small garden after a busy day of sightseeing – it’s the perfect spot to plan the next day’s Hualien adventure.
