Hostales en Taiwán, China

¡Un hostal muy agradable! Las habitaciones son algo pequeñas, así que no hay sitio para guardar la maleta o la mochila; hay que llevarla al pie de la cama. Buenas instalaciones: lavadora y secadora, cafetera, desayuno, taquillas... ¡Los baños se limpian con regularidad!

La ubicación era muy conveniente y las camas estaban limpias. Sin embargo, la recepcionista no fue muy amable; ¿quizás estaba de mal humor? Como no sabía usar la llave de la habitación, le pregunté dos veces y me dijo con cierta impaciencia: «No me prestaste atención cuando te lo explicaba». Por lo demás, quedé muy satisfecho.

Desventajas: La iluminación de la habitación era muy tenue y al reservar no me di cuenta de que no tenía ventanas. La higiene debería ser aceptable, pero tampoco se podía apreciar bien debido a la oscuridad. La decoración era terrible; aparte de las sábanas y el techo blancos, todo lo demás era de paneles negros, y al no tener ventanas y con la mala iluminación, cada noche al volver a la habitación me sentía completamente sin energía ni motivación. Sin embargo, parece que la decoración es antigua, espero que el formaldehído ya se haya disipado. No sé si en todos los hoteles de Taiwán la lavandería es de pago, pero en este tanto la lavadora como la secadora se pagaban por separado, aunque no recuerdo el precio exacto. Ventajas: Buena ubicación, justo enfrente de la estación de tren de Taipéi.

The hotel is ok but the room is big. The restaurant in the hotel is a must try. My daughter LOVEs every dishes she ordered. She said, this is the best food she had in Taiwan, so we had two dinners at the hotel. The location of the hotel is not great! We couldn’t get into the local buses to go to Xitou nor to Taichung because the buses were full from the original starting point. However, the hotel offers fare shuttle service to and from Xitou but not Shanlinxi. The front desk lady drove us to Xitou, she was GREAT and very accommodating, she took us to Xitou bus station outside of the normal schedule hours so we can catch the bus back to Taichung. We would come back again with our car to get to different areas in Xitou again.

La ubicación es muy conveniente, con muchos restaurantes cerca. El transporte también es muy práctico; se puede llegar al hotel caminando, en autobús, metro o tren de alta velocidad. La recepción del hotel está abierta hasta las 22:00 aproximadamente, ¡así que es mejor llegar temprano!

Easy to find the location. The owner were very understanding and kind since we arrived almost late from the check in time, they speak english. The view were so beautiful especially at night. There is an in-house police in the building as well as 711 convenience store. And outside there are lots of convenience store to be found. The train station is very near too. And also the elavator is very spacious.

No esperaba que este alojamiento fuera un motel basado en su nombre chino, así que fue un poco sorprendente cuando me inspeccioné. La ubicación es muy conveniente, lo que es un gran acreedor. La habitación era espaciosa, pero para los huéspedes que llegaban a pie, la ruta de acceso no es muy intuitivadebe bajar al sótano primero y luego entrar por el garaje de estacionamiento, lo que hace que la circulación se sienta un poco incómoda.

Hotel location is very convenient, just behind Mitsukoshi Department and across Taipei Main Station. Very good for catching early morning train as us. Look out for the lift lobby, is just beyond the boba tea shop, lobby is 5th level. Plenty of food options around the area.

Disfruté mucho de mi estancia aquí a pesar de la falta de servicios como piscina o spa. La ubicación es muy conveniente: justo enfrente se encuentra la animada zona de Ximending, perfecta para ir de compras, comer en la calle y disfrutar de diversas actividades. En el mismo edificio, encontrarás un 7-Eleven con temática de Hello Kitty y un restaurante Sushiro, que recomiendo muchísimo; la comida estaba absolutamente deliciosa. El desayuno buffet ofrece una selección limitada de platos principales, pero el menú cambia a diario y todo lo que probé estaba delicioso.

A Scenic Stay with a Convenient Catch My stay at Hotelday Hualien was a bit of a mixed bag. It has some genuinely charming touches and a great view, but its location and certain amenities require some adjustment. Location & Transportation: The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the Hualien Train Station, which is fantastic if you're arriving by rail. However, I soon realized that the train station is not the city center. The main downtown area is a significant distance away—about a 40-minute walk. This means you'll either need to plan for long walks or rely on taxis and buses to get to the main dining and night market areas. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to be aware of. The Room: The room itself was a highlight. It was spacious and comfortable, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. The best feature was the large window that faced the train station, with a stunning backdrop of the mountains. It was incredibly scenic and made the room feel bright and open. While the room was comfortable, I did notice that the overall design and some of the furniture felt a bit dated. It's clean and functional, but don't expect a super modern aesthetic. Amenities & Service: This is where the experience was a bit uneven. The gym was quite disappointing. It only had a stationary bicycle and a treadmill. There were no weights, no multi-gym, nothing for anyone hoping for even a basic strength workout. It felt more like an afterthought than a proper facility. On the other hand, the service had some truly thoughtful highlights. When we asked for ice, the hotel staff kindly delivered some to our room, which was a nice touch. The Special Touch: The most memorable part of the stay was a small, heartwarming gesture. The hotel provided us with complimentary postcards. The unique part? They offered to mail them for us, but not right away. They will send them exactly one year later. It's a lovely idea—a little time capsule from your trip that arrives as a surprise in the future. Overall: Hotelday Hualien offers spacious, comfortable rooms with beautiful mountain views, and its proximity to the train station is a plus for travelers. The thoughtful service, like the ice delivery and the ”postcard to your future self” program, adds a warm, personal touch. However, the distance from the city center and the very basic gym are drawbacks. It's a solid choice for a comfortable night's sleep near the station, especially if you appreciate sentimental gestures, but be prepared for the travel time to the main attractions.
