Not a bad hostel, there are only 2 boy toilets and you may need to wait especially in the mornings. No breakfast but there is a few options close by. Be good if they had coffee for the mornings. You are about 30min walk to the night market 

Not a bad hostel 

Considering there is not much to do in Hualien, this hostel really feels like a hub. Nitta and Summer were both really helpful and friendly and encouraged guests to join them and their friends in the lobby/bar area downstairs - loved their little frenchie called Singleton too! The hostel was within 10 mins walk to the train station and was also one of the cleanest I have stayed in which was great. Decent kitchen area and lovely coi pond downstairs in the common area. Would definitely recommend.

Nice vibe and very clean

At first I liked the character of this hostel, seemed friendly and individualistic. I chose it for my rest day while cycling down the East Coast of Taiwan but didn't get much rest. Maybe it was a bad day but there was a crowd of foreign expats drinking, smoking and yelling in the lobby/bar area all night. Some of the crowd (or their friends) came into the dorms at 4am still talking loudly. When I asked them to keep the noise down the response was "You have to expect this in a hostel." I had an 8am start but found I was locked in the hostel by a jail-like security door. There was no staff to help unlock it. It took me about 20 minutes of fiddling to get the correct combination of latch, lever and revolving knob to open the door. As you can imagine I was not happy.

'Character' hostel but noisy, no staff on duty to help

We stayed for 2 nights and struggled to sleep. If it weren't for the sound of the fan, it would have been horrific. Even still, until 3am people were screaming in the dorms. We had a private room and could still hear them. Shared bathrooms were clean and fine. Staff were helpful. Finding local restaurants with English menus was a struggle fyi!

Not the best

We stayed there for three nights, it was so good! The staff are REALLY friendly and always there to help. They even invited us out for dinner which was a great experience to try some local taiwanese food. Thank you so much Summer, Rex and everyone else! If you are looking for a good hostel - this is it.

This is it!

Very nice place, clean with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. A nice place for a base camp for Taroko gorge and other local attractions. So i don't really know what else to say but I have to use more characters.

Clean and Friendly

Clean and boutique feel, with a beautiful koi pond in the centre of the hostel.  Close to the train station, bike rentals and scooter rentals, delicious restaurants and everything you may need.

Although all of the above is great, what makes this place special is the people there!  Nita and her staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful.  When I checked in, I was invited to join the hot pot meal on the front porch - it was delicious and super welcoming as a solo traveller.  

I planned to stay for two days, but ended up staying for four - it was nice to hang out on the porch during the day, chat, drink bubble tea, learn some basic Mandarin and make some new friends! I will definitely book this hostel again when coming back to Hualien!
