Very close to the train and bus stations. From the train station take the front exit, walk straight, cross the busy street, turn left and a few meters on you'll see a building with apple design. The hotel is on the 2nd floor but the check-in reception is the office on the ground floor. Just go inside and someone will assist you. You'll be asked for your choice of breakfast. Take the 7-Eleven voucher, the Chinese breakfast next to the hotel was a big letdown. The staff couldn't speak a lot of English but they were very friendly, tried their best to understand and were patient in explaining things. The first bus from Hualien to Taroko leaves at 7 am. The next bus leaves at 8:30 am. Wake up early!
