Fullon Hotel Hualien

Updates: I had a great stay at Fullon Hotel Hualien. The room was spacious, comfortable, and has awesome view of the harbor. The location is ideal for me—close to the coast, at the start of the bike trail, and in a peaceful area. I loved being able to borrow a bike from the hotel, making it easy to explore the bike-friendly town. The staff was friendly and attentive. Even those who didn’t speak English used Google Translate to communicate, which I appreciated. The only downside was difficulty reaching the hotel before my arrival to confirm the station pick-up, which wasn’t sorted out and confirmed until the day before I arrived. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this hotel. Most likely will stay here again next time I'm in Hualien. Hopefully, I can reach them easier next time. ==================== 2025/01/13: Impossible to contact as a foreign visitor. I tried to send messages to the hotel via both email and LINE that were listed on their website since I don't live in TW. I tried to arrange for their pick up service from Hualien Station which is included with my stay. I have sent my inquiry for the details. I finally managed to get messages back one time via LINE after a day with a website that's not in English and a picture showing only a phone number for booking. At least the hotel didn't ask me to do international phone call and finally said I can request the booking with them via the LINE channel. So I sent the booking request with details. That was 3 days ago. And I have not received any message back or heard a peep from them. So I assume the service is still not booked. Not that the free ride matters since I should be able to get a cab easily, but the service, especially what's promise and the helpfulness of the staff, is quite underwhelming and on the side of not hospitable. For the same trip, I also had to reach out to Tango Hotel Taipei. They were very helpful with my inquiry and very fast. Hopefully the stay is nice. I'll come back to update my review then.

Nice hotel

Good quality hotel, very clean. A bit away from the very center of Hualien but that’s made up by the nice view from the room balcony.

We were told by a fellow traveler during our stay that this hotel is more than 10 years old, but everything in the hotel looked new to us. Location wise it is a little way out of the central, but this is not an issue since we have engaged a driver-guide. Buffet is good. They also have a spa (三温暖) that charges NT200 for unlimited use during one's stay. Everything considered, we find the rate very affordable.

Not walking distance from the train station. After 5:30 p.m. no public bus service to the hotel. Hotel shuttle service and bike rental from 7? to 5. Hotel is clean and well maintained, though. No response from email inquiry.

Lovely hotel. Helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Beautiful ocean view! Very comfortable bed and shower. Highly recommended.
