Slightly far from main streets where all the shops are and hualien bus services ends pretty early, had to walk 30 min back to the hostel.

Hostel is 5 min walk from train station, very convenient for tour meet ups. The room was clean and very comfortable. Very good selection of shows on tv. Will definitely come back!

Light Hostel is the perfect choice for anyone visiting Hualien. Conveniently situated just a 3-minute walk from the train station, and with the bus station merely a minute away, it's incredibly accessible. The hostel's well-designed common area fosters easy conversation among travelers, while the friendly and helpful staffs add to the welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are impeccably well maintained, featuring key-card accessible lockers for storing belongings, comfortable beds, and clean toilet facilities. Overall, my experience at Light Hostel was excellent, and I highly recommend it to solo travelers and families alike.

Space could be limited in the room to open the luggage.

There is a lift in the building, good for those with big luggage.

Nothing against the hostel itself, but I had the worst, most passive-aggressive roommate. We could not agree on what temperature the A/C should be, and frankly he just turned it off most of the time which made the room too warm for me to feel comfortable in. At one point, the remote for the A/C went missing and I suspect it's because he hid it from me. This is the risk we take when we stay at a hostel!

Good facilities, clean bathroom, showers were especially nice and gave the most amount of privacy to me compared to every other hostel I was at.

The beds all have privacy curtains and individual outlets and lights. Each bed also has a storage locker for personal belongings. You use one key card to get into the building, your room, the bathroom, and your storage locker so it was all very convenient. The bathroom and kitchen facilities were well stocked and really nice.

One of the best hostel I have ever seen. The beds are super comfortable and seemed new and modern, our room was not fully booked so everybody had a bed assignment on the ground so nobody needed to go up the ladder, curtains for each bed have been great for privacy and darkness, individual light and and power plug in each bed, super nice big shower room with a dressing/undressing area before each individual shower, common area with basic kitchen equipment and big fridge to be used by everyone.

When I entered the hotel, the staffs did not greet me actively. Not a big problem but maybe it would be nicer if they greet me at first.

The location is extremely convenient. The room and shared bathroom are all clean.
