Cheap Hotels in Hualien

"Right next to Hualien Station, so the location is super convenient. It's clean, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"For the location, it's quite far out from the center of Hualien. So you will need to hail a taxi or call the reception desk to book a shuttle bus to pick you up from the station and to the station. Another thing to know is that Uber doesn't work here so you will need to download another app or just physically hail a taxi. However, this is the best hotel I've stayed so far in Taiwan. The room & toilet are extremely spacious and clean. There is a lot of facilities in this hotel that includes a free pool table, ping pong table and swimming pool for you to enjoy. The breakfast buffet is also quite good with a lot of selection as well."

"Beautiful hotel! The building is a little older but everything is very well maintained, the rooms are large, very clean, bright, comfortable and pretty, I've been travelling for 6 weeks now and this was the best place I stayed at so far. The staff are very kind and helpful, I had some issues due to a typhoon and had to spontaneously add another night but it all went smoothly. The location is excellent, you can even see the main station from the entrance of the hotel, that's how close it is! All the buses to all the sightseeing places (and everywhere else too, really) depart from the main bus station, which is even closer still (and Dongdamen night market is actually also still walking distance, takes about half an hour). Nonetheless it was nice and quiet at night. Plenty of convenience stores around too and a full supermarket is right next to it as well. Breakfast was good too! Would absolutely stay there again and now that I'm in the next hotel (definitely not as nice already)I kind of miss it already..."

"The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the train station. The owner was incredibly friendly and, during check-in, enthusiastically shared recommendations for authentic Hualien eateries that locals frequent, even pointing out which restaurants had 'hidden' menu items. While checking in, I even met Hualien locals who were staying there for a holiday..."

"I 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."

"Positives: - like all lakeshore hotels in Taiwan, fantastic breakfast spread, especially incorporating local hualien food like gongzheng baos etc… - sauna with a sea view.. what else to ask for - children playroom - comfy rooms and excellent service all round by all staff - bath tub near the window where you can soak and see the sea - coin operated laundry room with washers and dryers (affordable plus only two each.. so may have to wait) - small snacks and beverages provided for guests daily on the ground floor Negatives: - only really gripes is the location.. about 2 km away from the city centre so not much to do in the neighbourhood - sea view room is actually the view of the port and a distance away… technically hotel is not wrong.. but should lower your own expectations"

"Big thanks for providing a baby crib. There are so many great food options nearby, and it's not far from Gongzheng Baozi. You can also buy local souvenirs close by. My only minor issue was the water pressure in the shower on the 8th floor was a bit low, regardless of whether others were using water or not. If that could be improved, it would definitely be a great accommodation choice."

"The Hsinglu Hotel is located right in the city center, at the intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Zhonghua Road. On the ground floor, guests can help themselves to complimentary cookies, coffee, and tea bags. The industrial-style decor in the common areas creates a really comfortable atmosphere, and many guests gather there in the evenings to eat and chat. The rooms are pretty standard. My only complaint is the poor soundproofing; plus, both the air conditioner and the bathroom exhaust fan are quite loud, so I'd recommend bringing earplugs. They don't provide disposable toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, or razors, but if you forget anything, you can buy them at the front desk. Overall, given the amenities, service, and excellent location, it's still worth recommending. If you're driving, they don't offer parking, but it's not hard to find a spot on Zhonghua Road, though you'll incur extra parking fees. (It's free between 10 PM and 10 AM, so it's not too bad.)"
