Cheap Hotels in Hualien

"The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk directly across from the station. There are also plenty of convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so you have lots of dining options. The hostel lobby is really well-decorated, and there's free coffee and milk tea available, which was perfect for relaxing while waiting to check-in before 3 PM. The room was a four-person dorm with a private bathroom, and my stay was very pleasant. They offer free breakfast, but the selection is a bit limited – mainly just bread with different jams and ham. I had a wonderful time in Hualien! I hope to come back here again someday."

"The front desk staff were very accommodating on my request for late check out. Daily breakfast and dinner were quite good."

"The Hualien Station branch of Kindness Hotel offers excellent value for money. The room rate is incredibly inclusive; not only does it cover breakfast, but also afternoon tea and a late-night snack, so you practically don't have to worry about food from check-in until evening. The hotel also provides free ice cream, washing machines, and dryers, along with laundry detergent, which is super convenient for travelers needing to wash clothes. The location is also great, very close to Hualien Station—just about a seven or eight-minute walk. This makes it really easy for catching trains or planning your Hualien itinerary. Even though it's a 3-star hotel, the actual experience exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was also more varied than I anticipated. Overall, the stay felt thoughtful in terms of service and practical in terms of facilities. It's truly ideal for travelers looking for convenience and great value."

"Conveniently located within a short walking distance from the Hualien train and bus stations, this accommodation offers easy access for travelers. The front desk staff were polite, friendly, and always helpful whenever we approached them for directions or recommendations. One thoughtful touch was the Hualien Food Guide folder provided by the hotel, which was especially useful for my family when deciding where to eat and exploring local specialties. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was exceptionally large with a reliable supply of hot water. We also appreciated the good soundproofing, which made our stay comfortable and restful. If you are visiting Hualien, it is advisable to bring mosquito repellent, as there tend to be quite a number of mosquitoes in the area."

"Xpark combines lighting, projections, and marine life displays, creating a truly immersive atmosphere. The jellyfish zone, in particular, is incredibly dreamy and offers fantastic photo opportunities. The flow within the aquarium is smooth, making it perfect for couples, friends, or families to visit together. However, it can get quite crowded on weekends, with popular areas requiring some queuing. Overall, it's an aquarium that offers both entertainment and a sense of calm, definitely worth a visit."

"The hotel offers pick-up and drop-off services to the train station. Laundry and drying cost 110 NTD, and the front desk provides change. The hotel staff are very patient. It's about 3-4 kilometers from the city center, and a taxi ride costs 170 NTD. The location is quite convenient. Within a 15-minute walk, there are convenience stores and seafood restaurants. There's also a convenience store inside the hotel. The hotel's pool is beautiful, though the gym is a bit basic. Next to the gym, there are many recreational facilities. The view from the hotel room is fantastic."

"This was a wonderful guesthouse. The owner was very welcoming and talkative, and proactively contacted me to let me know my approximate arrival time. I was very satisfied with everything in the room, and what I loved most was that it was just a short walk to the beach. The only downside was that we couldn't see the sunrise due to thick clouds. The breakfast was delicious, but unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures."

"It was clean and the washlet was great. They also provided toothbrushes as a service, but they will no longer be available at the end of 2024. I checked in at 10:30 p.m., but the staff were very accommodating. Although it is close to the station and unmanned early in the morning, I would recommend it if you are traveling based in Hualien."

"Overall a good experience (except one thing - see in the bottom). The location is somewhat central and on the walking promenade, but not very close to the railway station or the waterfront. About 25-35 min walk to the railway station but still okay. About 15 min to the waterfront. Food options: there are a couple of local restaurants right near across from the promenade, including a noodle shop, a tempura donburi and a fried seafood place - all along the promenade. There's also a PX Mart not too far away, about 5 min walk. The rooms are spacious and clean, very new renovation (as of 2025, seems like 2023-2024), no fridge in the room (on the first floor only), but there's a kettle. The bed was somewhat stiff but okay. Overall felt like great value for the location and the quality, and especially the room size. The only drawback - Easy to fix - was the towels. There was no proper size bathroom towels on my stay in May 2025. The small towels are rather insuficcient for showering."

"The staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly, making our stay truly enjoyable. The room was spacious and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of our visit. Azure Hotel is strategically located, with Dong Da Men Night Market just a short walk away, which was very convenient. On top of that, the hotel provides complimentary parking for guests, which was a very convenient bonus for us."
