What was the highlight of Shining Forest Hostel

Wonderful

The hostel is cozy and clean. The staff is friendly. It's good that they have curtains for beds. The kitchen area is big. There is free black tea in the fridge and fruit on the table. You can read books or play board games in the study room. I like that they provide useful hygiene products such as normal saline and pads for girls.

The only problem is that the air con and fans make the room too cold.

Had an enjoyable and memorable stay here! Thank you for everything.

Everything! The owners are very sweet and kind. The place is very clean and neat. It’s about 10 mins walk from Hualien main station. It is 2-3mins away from this main large street full and restaurants and shops.

Nothing.

Exceptionally clean, fun decor, friendly staff with great amenities

The hosts had maps and informational brochures to explain the surrounding area to us. The hostel was fairly empty, so they gave us an entire 4-person room to ourselves (we were only 2 people). The common area had a bunch of snacks- some were so tasty we bought several bags at the supermarket to bring home with us. One of the hosts gave us advice on buying local fruits and offered to get some from the market for us.

Very nice quiet location to stay.

Staff is very lovely and extremely hospitable. coin laundries just in the corner of the hostel. Liked the balcony in woman's dorm too. Close walk to the Train station and Taroko Gorge bus stop. You can borrow a bike also.

Not much to criticise. Bit far from the beach.

Welcoming hostel in a nice location

Extremely welcoming host who did everything to make sure I was comfortable, including making sure I didn’t go out without a rain jacket and umbrella and offering a bicycle to use for free. Nice common area and kitchen. Homemade tea and drinking water available. The private room had a little balcony. Very clean bedroom. I liked the location on a quiet street but within walking distance (about 30 minutes) of the night market.

The kitchen area could have been cleaner (some ants), and the room was quite basic, but I had a lovely stay overall.
