"Should be 4 stars. The staff are the best we ever experienced. Always caring and helpful. Providing transportation to and from the train station. We will definitely stay here again. The breakfast was one of the best meals we ever had."
".
The property is behind a convenience store and not easy to find. Further, the on-site reception is spotty, not always there.
The area lacks appeal, not much to see when walking around.
The room itself, however, is decent.

Kindness Hotel Hualien Main Station
10/10 Excellent
"Great location and service. The food is great. I want to come back again."
"Easy and fast check in/ out. Friendly staff. We were able to store our bikes in the luggage room with staff’s help.
The bed is cozy.
A bit thin wall that you hear bit noises from the hallway."
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was very welcoming and, even though there was a bit of a language barrier, they always did their best to accommodate our needs. The property itself was well kept and spotless — our room was tidy, fresh, and exceptionally clean. We especially loved having a balcony overlooking the mountains, which made the stay feel extra special.
The included breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the staff was kind and helpful throughout our visit.
One thing to note is that the hotel is about a 45–60 minute walk from the train station. If you’re traveling with luggage, it’s definitely best to take a taxi, which costs around 200 NTD.
Overall, we had a great experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay!

"We stayed to visit power plant near there. We arrived in evening but the staff was very kind and booked their restaurant for us. The room and view was nice and we liked friendly staff service. The cats were so cute! In the morning I could enjoy the walking around the coast and small temples, not so much shops but so attractive place."
