A great hostel with great vibes! I stayed in the 4-person girls room with a shared bathroom. Beds were spacious and felt private, with an individual compartment for your belongings. The common space in the lobby was also nice to hang out in with various seating options. Plus free tea and breakfast. Would recommend!

Very close to train station Less than 5 minutes walk. The 4 Bedroom dorm size is smaller than average 4 room dorm. Breakfast needs improvement. Instant coffee is simply awful.
The dining area is spacious and have electrical outlet to surf the web.

Very convenient location very near Hualien train station. Nice public area with lots of outlets and with water dispenser. Free coffee and tea packs. Simple breakfast is included but it starts late. Friendly and accommodating staff. Very awkward ladder going up the topdeck of the bed in the dorm room, as shown in the picture.

The hostel was really great, same quality as a hotel. We stayed here for 1 night in a bunker bedroom with our 4 year old daughter. Bed was comfortable, shower was good and they had good breakfast. Personel was really kind and super helpful. The location wasn't too far from the night market. They have paid parking spots for a reasonable rate. We highly recommend this hostel.

Well located near the train station. Good hire bike offers and a decent breakfast. Good area to dry clothes after doing laundry. A little quiet/not massively sociable during the time we were there in the off season, especially since Taroko Gorge was shut. But would stay here again for sure.

All excellent except the old carpet on the floor, suggest to replace it for sanitary and pest control.

Very clean, shower and toilet inside and outside the room. Bed are big enough and comfortable. Breakfast is provided! Toast, ham, cheese and various spreads. The crowd is very different from any hostel I stayed before, many middle age people and even kids!! So might not be the perfect place for you if you want to make friends. Everyone I talked to, from the staff to the guest was extremely nice!
At the reception you can get information to visit the taroko gorge.

Perfectly located across from the train station. Bus station is also only a 3 minute walk. Staff was very nice and helpful. Surprisingly they have a simple yet efficient breakfast service to start your day. I don't eat ham but they had cheese, peanut butter, butter and jam selection. The lady who is in charge of breakfast was working very hard. She was constantly replenishing items for breakfast.
I stayed in a dormitory room. The beds were very comfortable. I stayed for one night. The toilet and shower are inside the room of 4 beds. So if you are staying more than 1 day if you are lucky to have quiet roommates. It may not be easy. If I have a suggestion that would be alcohol spray and room spray since 4 people can use the toilet at any time.
Overall, I recommend the WOW hostel Hualien. Their art work on the floors and decorations are very nice.

Good service, good location near Hualien station, vouchers provided for 7-eleven next door in case breakfast is not enough.
Sound-proofing could be better (from outside AND the neighbours) but hey, overall it's good price for value.
Picture is view from 7th floor mountains and city side.

5 min walk to train station. Super convenient.
Local eateries just opposite the hostel.
Bed is steady, not sound at all. Can even walk on the upper deck of the bed.
Very comfy stay.
Able to wash and dry clothes. Dryer machine is really effective in drying clothes. Clothes is absolutely dried.
Alls good just that space wise is kinda small. Will definitely come again:)
