Quaint little hotel near train station”
The service was great, value for money is spot on, and location couldnt be more convenient. Only complaint I have was that the tofu from the restaurant was bland... they forgot both salt and pepper

Pleasant stay”
The location is really good if you have a car. From the roof-top, you can enjoy the great mountain and sea views. Close to the Taroko national park, and many scenic places are nearby.

adequate for comfortable travel”
Our interior room (no window) was a bit small, but clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet better than expected, but nothing fancy. Nice helpful staff, but missing some expectations - can't check bags in a secure place, staff leaves at 9pm, etc. Very close to the train/MRT/taxi station, also tour bus pickup. Very convenient for traveling to Toroko Gorge, quick MRT trip down to Hualian for dinner and nightlife.

Good”
Nearby Taroko National Park about 10 min by car. Breakfast not very good. We didn't have a choice.

Acceptable”
The room smelled like sewage, there was mold on the floor, and there was no mountain view, just view of a construction site. The facilities are run down.

Exceptional”
Having a hard time understanding the more negative reviews...this hotel is affordably priced, clean, with brand new facilities and professional service. You can't beat the location: right next to the Xincheng station, which makes it super easy to get going and see Taroko in the morning. Our room didn't have a window, which was a little offputting, but we were fine with it, and I suppose if that were a problem for you, you could make sure to reserve a room with a window.

Closed to train station and taroko park bus ride ”
Went through 2-nights of earthquake consecutively... owners were so kind to calm us down. There are few good restaurants and mart nearby.. If you plan to go to Taroko, this place will save you time and money (as compared to staying in Hualien)

Perfect location for accessing Taroko NP”
No eateries around but luckily Friday market on so was able to purchase some fried food. In house restaurant available but pricey I think. Hualien city more to offer but buses fill up and sometimes standing for 40 mins so location is ideal.

Disappoint for a fairly new facility.”
We arrived in the rain. It was raining hard in Xincheng for 1-2 days before we arrived, so there were water running, dripping in hallways, staircase, and in rooms. Our room was interior, so no water damage, but it had been without air conditioner so it had really bad smell...after air cond on fir 30 minutes, the smell went away. Breakfasts sometime served in basement, not good set up. Foods are okay. Less options when less guests in hotel, which was more often. Staff are business-like, even the manager who speaks very good English. The old gentlemen was more friendly, even he did not speak any English. The only positive of this hotel is location, only 1 block from Xincheng train station, easy to catch train to Hualien, or Taipei, or catch bus to Taroko. Hopefully they will fix the water problem, it is a fairly new building...trees have not taken roots yet.

Nice new room”
(1) Got free upgrade from Standard no window to one with a balcony :) (2) Got new nice room with new nice furniture :) (3) Bfast buffet, disappointing. In fact, this was the only hotel bfast with fried chicken in the menu we encountered during our Taiwan trip, but it's too tough n hardly edible. (4) Allowed me to borrow their phone to contact my local tour operator.

Excellent value for money”
The staff was great and helpfull, room was splendid and spotless clean and the view was amazing! We couldn’t have been happier! Only minus was that the water boiler didn’t work snd one small light was blinking but I am sure that the staff would have happily solved these small issues of we would have asked; we were just too lazy to leave the nice room with the view 😌

nice location, quite old hotel”
the location is good, within 5-8mins walk to/from xincheng taroko station. the room looks clean and huge but the floor felt sticky though slippers are provided. no A/C on hallways. stray dogs tend to stay in front of hotel entrance so might be scary for someone who's not into dogs.

Convenient location near train station and bus-stop”
This hotel looks modern amid the rural setting. It has big rooms. Conveniently located just 5 minutes walk away from Xincheng train station and 302 Taroko bus stop. Not many eateries nearby, but hotel restaurant offers delicious food at an reasonable price.

Very good”
An alright hotel right next to the train station. Walked back from Taroko gorge to this hotel (far but doable). This place opened the month before we got there, they have some growing pains but I'm sure they will get better over time.

Really good”
The location is really great, walking distance from the train terminal and also the bus terminal where you will get the bus to go to the park. The staff was extremely nice, they helped us a lot with directions and leaving our bags in reception to go to the park the day we would go.
