"On our Taiwan island tour, we stopped in Hualien.
We arrived at night to watch whales and dolphins the next day.
Unexpectedly, booking a hotel in Hualien was difficult.
The Ambassador Hotel in Hualien was available for the night, though the price was a little high.
All in all, it was wonderful."

GGuest UserWe are very happy with our stay in this inn. Service was tip top. The lady and guy at the reception were very helpful and polite. Knowing that we are muslims and they are so helpful and kind to prepare a meal that has no meat for us. The lady staff even made a special vegetarian order for us to have our breakfast on the go because we needed to leave the inn early for our activity. The guy made an effort to help us read the ingredient list on the snacks they offered with us asking him to. We are really thankful for this gesture. It means alot to us especially traveling to a country where halal food is not easily found.
Breakfast was fantastic. We love the salmon toast so much!
Room was clean and well maintained.
We do want to apologise on our son's behalf for the screams and cry during our stay. He was having a meltdown. Sorry to both the staff having to handle other guest who may have complained to you for the noise.
Will we be back? Most definitely.

GGuest UserBest best best hotel we have ever stayed in. Services provided was excellent. All staff were very genuinely. It really felt like a 5 star hotel. We stayed in another 5 star hotel in Jiaoxi which is No. 1 in Jiaoxi but the service cannot be matched. Well done to all the staff.
Room was always clean. Thank you to the staff who cleaned our spectacle. It was a nice gesture. Different snacks were topped up everyday. The face mask provided was so good!
Surrounding of the hotel was very nice. We had the gorge view and OMG! We don't mind waking up to this view everyday. We hope they will contruct a stairs for guest to go down to the gorge. It is a waste to just see it from the top.
Breakfast was good. We could see that they have made an effort to label which is vegetarian and which is not. It's very thoughtful of the restaurant. However, we had a seafood porridge and thought it was purely seafood but notice there was chicken in it but not written. Maybe they can improve in this.
Kids are very well entertained in this hotel. They have a huge play room for them. Indoor pool with heated pool is enough to keep the kids occupied for 2hours at least. They also have daily activities and some are free.
Thank you Silk Place for the wonderful stay. We will be back.
GGuest UserThe reception staff speak English well and explain everything clearly. They are friendly and helpful. There is a hot and cold water dispenser near the elevator. The rooms are clean, with Japanese-style bidet toilets, and are quite spacious. Motorcycle parking is available, and it’s only a 4-minute ride to the night market by scooter. Luggage storage is also available.
The breakfast is good. Ice cream and coffee are provided during the day at scheduled times. There is a library, a kids’ playroom/lounge, and children’s tableware available for breakfast.

JJoe Nathanael ChowA Scenic Stay with a Convenient Catch
My stay at Hotelday Hualien was a bit of a mixed bag. It has some genuinely charming touches and a great view, but its location and certain amenities require some adjustment.
Location & Transportation: The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the Hualien Train Station, which is fantastic if you're arriving by rail. However, I soon realized that the train station is not the city center. The main downtown area is a significant distance away—about a 40-minute walk. This means you'll either need to plan for long walks or rely on taxis and buses to get to the main dining and night market areas. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of.
The Room: The room itself was a highlight. It was spacious and comfortable, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. The best feature was the large window that faced the train station, with a stunning backdrop of the mountains. It was incredibly scenic and made the room feel bright and open. While the room was comfortable, I did notice that the overall design and some of the furniture felt a bit dated. It's clean and functional, but don't expect a super modern aesthetic.
Amenities & Service: This is where the experience was a bit uneven. The gym was quite disappointing. It only had a stationary bicycle and a treadmill. There were no weights, no multi-gym, nothing for anyone hoping for even a basic strength workout. It felt more like an afterthought than a proper facility.
On the other hand, the service had some truly thoughtful highlights. When we asked for ice, the hotel staff kindly delivered some to our room, which was a nice touch.
The Special Touch: The most memorable part of the stay was a small, heartwarming gesture. The hotel provided us with complimentary postcards. The unique part? They offered to mail them for us, but not right away. They will send them exactly one year later. It's a lovely idea—a little time capsule from your trip that arrives as a surprise in the future.
Overall: Hotelday Hualien offers spacious, comfortable rooms with beautiful mountain views, and its proximity to the train station is a plus for travelers. The thoughtful service, like the ice delivery and the ”postcard to your future self” program, adds a warm, personal touch. However, the distance from the city center and the very basic gym are drawbacks. It's a solid choice for a comfortable night's sleep near the station, especially if you appreciate sentimental gestures, but be prepared for the travel time to the main attractions.

DDing AlexI had high hopes for my stay at the Lakeshore, but unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to them. It feels like they're too focused on maximizing profits and less on guest experience. For example, the laundry room charges a fee, and another laundry room is only for backpackers, which I find illogical. The afternoon tea for hotel guests only offered two or three types of biscuits; they really shouldn't be calling that afternoon tea. On a positive note, the intern at the entrance was very enthusiastic and deserves praise.
JJeff KellOne of the best parts of staying at Charming City Hotel Hualien was the incredible staff. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful from check-in to check-out. They went out of their way to answer questions and make sure we had a great stay. The hotel itself was comfortable and in a convenient location, but the friendly service is what really made the experience memorable.

GGuest UserExcept for last year, I'm a loyal returning guest to Lakeshore Hotel Hualien, staying here every year. I have a lot of sentiment attached to Lakeshore, and I truly hope everything at the hotel continues to develop positively. Therefore, I'd like to share my honest thoughts and offer some suggestions.
Pros:
- The bed was incredibly comfortable.
- The housekeeping staff were very responsible and diligent.
- The front desk ladies provided excellent service.
- They were kind enough to let us park our scooter in the basement, which was a huge plus given the rainy weather during our stay.
Areas for improvement:
- The water pressure in the showerhead was too low.
- The indoor lighting was insufficient; it wasn't bright enough.
- The indoor slippers provided were uncomfortable, making me want to wear my own slippers inside. This would, in turn, make it difficult to keep the indoor floors clean.

GGuest UserThis hostel is absolutely fantastic! It's about a five to six-minute walk from Hualien Station. The beds and towels are very clean, and the bathroom is spacious with a large mirror. You can even enjoy a view of the mountain city from the room. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, and they offer free bicycle rentals. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit!

GGuest UserThe exterior may not be very stunning and the hotel may feel a bit old, but after entering, you will slowly discover its inner charm.
The Daoxiang double room we stayed in was very elegant and large, especially the oversized bed which was super comfortable to sleep on. I am an elderly person who is undergoing neck rehabilitation and I am very picky about beds and pillows, but I slept very soundly and deeply here. A big thumbs up to the hotel owner for choosing the hard bed facilities. The room is super clean. Although the hardware equipment is not new, it has a simple and elegant charm, which I like. It's a bit like Kung Fu tea that needs to be savored slowly.
We are an elderly couple who came to Hualien to visit friends. Before checking in, we requested a quiet room with no smoke. We could not stay in the side room due to our physical condition. Although the room had some minor flaws in sound insulation, the hotel met our needs. The peaceful and pleasant environment in the rice fields will give you a good night's sleep.
The backyard also gets high marks, and is perfect for a relaxing stroll.
The breakfast was rich and delicious.
This is very suitable for us who don't need dazzling amusement facilities and come here to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing accommodation environment.
The only drawback is that they don't provide dinner, but we solved that by using the hotel's instant noodles and ordering takeout via mobile phone.
The price is very reasonable and it is a highly recommended accommodation.
