    Hospitality at Starting Point B&B

    Liked : The staff and owner are exemplary in their hospitality, communication, and accommodation. Any issues were addressed promptly and courteously. My plans were in flux, and they were patient and gracious as I made changes to my original booking. The room was spacious with good natural light. The location was an easy ten minute walk from the train station, and accessible for tours in the area. The lodging is away from the main touristic area of Hualien, but there are shops nearby for necessities.

    Disliked : The room was not as clean as expected when I arrived, but this was addressed promptly and satisfactorily. There was occasional noise from people going about their daily lives in the area, sometimes late into the evening.

    We had a great time in Hualien

    Liked : This stay was one of my favorite from the whole Taiwan. I loved the cozy room and comfortable beds. The room was clean and everything was working great. It was few minutes walk from the train station. I highly recommend it! We got a room update for free!

    Disliked : Just be aware that the Hualien city is in the opposite direction from the train station.

    Liked : Excellent value, the place has everything needed: close to train station, air con, big room, big common room downstairs with tea/coffee/water, comfy bed. Very friendly hosts, even has a new elevator. I visited with my wife and 1-year old and had no complaints whatsoever.

    Disliked : -

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
  • SinMalaysia · Nov 12, 2023 8Very good

    Liked : Comfortable and clean. And lots of useful things provided like ointment for insect bites, and hawthorn tea.

    Disliked : Location a bit far from the station, on a street that’s a bit too dark and quiet. Front desk people are also usually not there 90% of the time, so if there’s any issues, it can be difficult to get help
