Despite not having the night market nearby, it is still a nice location to stay in. There are many eating places around. Cosy cafes can be found along the side roads.   There is fresh produce cum fruit market nearby. Self-service laundromats are also within walking distance.  The train station is a 15-minute walk away but don’t try to walk there with your luggage. Request for the staff to pick you up or drop you off.

When we arrived, the male staff came out to welcome us and gave us a quick preview of what we could do in Hualien. He even made online booking for our train tickets from Hualien to Taipei. It was so convenient as all we just need to do was to pay and collect the tickets from the nearby convenience store. 

Coupon is provided for breakfast at a local fast food place across the road. This café has a varied local and western breakfast items on their menu. The boss and staff are friendly.

The room is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. There is a small sitting area on the 2nd level with water cooler and magazines. The only negative is that there is no lift. But the staff carry our 2 big lugguages to our room on the 3rd floor single-handedly.

Restful place in a nice neighbourhood

We stayed 1 night here and it was a very comfortable stay. However, there is no lift so if you are fussy about this, you may want to choose another BnB. First impression was great as there was someone who introduced us to the "must eats" in Zhiqiang NM. He also informed us the wifi password, contact number to call if there's anything. We booked a 4-person room and it is huge! The room is furnished modernly and everything is very clean. There's disposable toiletries, shampoo, shower foam given too. The rainshower is awesome. There is also a mini fridge in the room which is great. The wifi is quite weak though. It is about 8min walk to Zhiqiang NM and there is also a supermarket near the BnB. Breakfast is also included but we need to go to the breakfast store opposite our BnB. It is a good stay overall.

Very clean and comfortable room, near to Zhiqiang NM

You may contact the staff for free transfer from and to train station by providing the time. Before handover the room key to us, the owner would explain all the tourist spots to us and advise us on how to get there and the which are the place that are worth to go for, how to save time and do more things in Hua Lien. if you are looking for the xiao long pao, go for the less queue as the taste is about the same, and with a friendlier staff. Breakfast was totally fine for us as I read the previous review were complaining. The breakfast was decent, one coupon is sufficient to order per meal, but for me is just way too tasty than the fast food chain restaurant, tried for the grilled pork/chicken burger and the subs, so I bought more for the lunch at Taroko. the breakfast restaurant was just a street away from the hotel. the coin laundry just next to the restaurant where we able to wash our clothes once back from Taroko. Need not to worried about dinner, as night market just 5 minutes walk away from the hotel. Taxi is cheap to the golden triangle (NTD100 per trip, discounted with taxi booking through phone). or you may get free bicycle from the hotel to ride. need not to worry for window facing corridor, actually is a yard instead of a corridor (is quiet, nice and no one is there during the whole stay) and only one room is affected by it. for the rest of rooms, there is no window facing any corridor. there is still a little improvement space to go by providing TV channel list. Overall I would rate 99%, and one of the best B&B during my stay in Taiwan.

Amazing, knowledgeable staff, good location, clean and tidy room

I booked 2 quad-sharing rooms for 1 night. Rooms are big and very clean. Very comfy. Each pax is given a twd 50 breakfast voucher for use in a breakfast shop near the B&B. We enjoyed the simple breakfast very much. 
B&B is within 10min walk to zhi qiang mkt. Staff offered to drive us to the nearby train station in 2 trips due to our big group. Very helpful indeed. Highly recommended if you need a clean and comfy room. The rooms looked exactly the same as what they advertised.

Very clean & comfy room. Near Zhiqiang mkt

We weren't sure what to expect when we booked the place as it was a last minute booking. We were surprised that Hao Yun B & B were located above Hao Yun Interior Design company. So if your taxi driver drops you off in front of an interior design office, you are at the right place. 

Hao Yun is around 5-7km away from the train station and is not in downtown Hualien. It's nearer to the beach, which you can bike to. 

The staff were very helpful in explaining the surrounding locations and recommended eats. Their recommendations were a mix between those well-known places found in blogs and their personal favourites. 

There are no lift/elevators in the building so be ready for a struggle if you are carrying big luggages. Rooms are clean, airy (with a balcony) and really pretty. Probably designed by the company downstairs :) 

Room comes with:
-basic toilet amenities
-shower cap
-hot water
-bottled water
-instant cup noodles (this was interesting)
-decent wifi
-TV
-breakfast coupons (for a local cafe down the street, very easy to find)

If you run out of water, there is water dispenser on the 2nd floor. Locals in Hualien have advised us not to drink tap water as it is hard water. Buying filtered water in Taiwan in not expensive.

To explore town, we borrowed their bicycles free of charge. All they ask is for us to take care of it and drop it off in the shed when we were done. By the way, there are bike thieves in town so beware of where you park the bikes.

There is a self-service laundromat across the road. Very important for those going out to Taroko Gorge for a spate of hiking. We did all our laundry before we left Hualien. 

The B&B is 10 minutes walking distance Ziqiang Night Market and along the way, you will pass local produce stores, massage parlours, beauty salons, etc. You don't need to take a taxi, use the walk as pre-dinner exercise and after dinner exercise. 

One thing I wish is that there were staff to assist with requests after the interior design closes for the day. We had no idea who to approach for assistance if something happened after their office hours.
