-The staff were amazing - Una and Xiaomei were gems; they gave really good recommendations and advice, and were just overall so kind. -This had a true hostel feel and was true to its theme (everything was named after different cities/countries, the flags to indicate where everyone is from/where they're staying). -Really good backpacker vibes. -Good English. -Great location (10 min walk from train station, near the bust food avenue, right next to bicycle shop, 3 minute walk to laundry).

Nothing, I really loved this place and extended 2 more nights!

The best place to stay when in Hualien, if you are looking for a hostel with great international community, this is the place to go! Friendly staff that will do almost anything to make your stay perfect! Dorm is quiet most of the time, but you can chat all evening or play guitar and draw in the lobby. Very good coffee! There is a fridge to keep stuff cool. Can't really do cooking but there is good places to eat nearby. Don't expect a hostel for partying. But there is KTV and bars nearby.

Nothing. Had a blast!

We stayed in May 2024 and really enjoyed our stay! The lady running World Inn is so friendly and welcoming it really made our stay! She gave us lots of helpful tips for places to eat and visit. We really enjoyed cycling along the coast and eating at the night market. The hostel rooms aren't the biggest but they are clean and comfy, there are also lots of places to relax in the common areas. I would definitely recommend staying at this gem!

The staff is really helpful — they have many information about the attractions and tours which are free around the region The hostel atmosphere is beautiful e.g. they have every room named by different continents, countries and their capitals, and the common area becomes nice place to hang around in the evening

Great location - less than 5 minutes walk from the train station. Close to main street and also close to a 24h laundry service, which is really useful. Staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have listed all the eateries on Google maps and were generally helpful with information. They also spoke excellent English, which is really nice when as a foreigner you don't speak much Chinese. The hostel is quiet and extremely clean - while I'm used to well-cleaned accommodation in Taiwan, this was just extra level. Bathrooms and toilets were especially clean. Dorms were quiet and comfortable. Not too much aircondition that would make it cold, and also not too little which would make it hot or smelly with many people sleeping at the same time. Each bed had a spacious locker (not for a huge backpack, but more than enough for a small/mid-size one and valuables. Also a curtain to give you almost complete privacy, good bed lamp and power sockets. Small but convenient kitchen. Good to have reusable slippers, better for the environment. Hostel also has a café where you can buy coffee and some cakes.

WiFi was a little sketchy, sometimes falling out. Otherwise everything else was very high standard, one of the most comfortable hostels I've stayed in, and perfect for a comfortable stay.

Great atmosphere and the owners are so nice. It's very close to the train and bus station (take east exit). Una helped me find a driver to get to my next destination. She found a lost cat and spent the extra effort to find its owner. There's a place to dry laundry/towels and a food waste container.

The common room can get a bit noisy and the noise does get up to the 2nd floor.

A true gem in Hualien! Small hostel but with a big character made by the female owner, her sister and rest of the family & friends. Beautiful decor and facilities are great. Nice cafe running during the day at the reception; plenty of great food/breakfast options nearby and the train station walking distance! I also loved the fact that a bike rental place is next door (Giant bike store;)) The dorms also had a good amount of separate space for each individual.

This hostel was great (clean, comfortable, very convenient to the train station) and Una was incredible! Not only for Taroko recommendations and just general friendliness, but also I was here for the big earthquake and she really went above and beyond to take care of all of us.

If it's important to you, be aware that AC in the bedrooms is turned off during the day

I really enjoyed my stay! The staff was so nice! The hosts gave a beautiful presentation about taiwan and the hostel. The beds are comfy! Everything is clean!

Location: not super many vegetarian placed to eat around

At walking distance from the train station, this spotless hotel offers clean rooms with all the amenities and free coffee and tea in the stylish common area. The staff was extremely helpful and smiley. Speaking excellent English, they gave us information for an excellent restaurant (best dumplings in Taiwan) and they helped us rent a scooter ( the best way to visit Taroko Gorge and the Qingshui cliffs) from a nearby shop. Thank you guys!
