Modern, clean, and great location

We stayed in a private room with private bathroom, which I believe they have plenty despite the name "hostel." The place is really well organised with clean shared kitchen and living room downstairs. The bedroom is very clean and the shower room has a separate door for toilet. We checked in after the normal check-in time and received the check-in information in details making it super smooth when we arrived in late evening. Guests that we met were polite, clean, and quiet, making it very pleasant to stay. Highly recommended! :)

離火車站很近

重點離火車站很近 下雨天走過去蠻快的 而且蠻貼心的會優先提供下舖(六人房)， 而且洗浴的地方很大間(是跟其他住宿不同的地方)而且沒有在房間裡面，就不會聽到其他人洗澡的聲音。而且一樓的大廳很大，座位也很舒適。唯獨只是外面汽車交通比較大聲，如果容易被外面汽車聲音驚醒的(記得要關個窗戶)。

可推

整體設施新穎，格局簡明清楚，Hostel該給人的印象是溫暖、親切，前台服務人員稍嫌冷漠，熱忱及親切度可再加強，Double Room非常經濟實惠，因國內旅遊沒有大行李，覺得空間已很足夠，提供的備品也相當完整，前一住房客使用過的浴巾遺留沒有清潔帶走，床被有一股似潮濕悶臭的味道，悶睡了三晚有點難受，其餘的部分都值得加分。下次去花蓮還是會選擇Light Hostel HuaLien喔！
