Nice location near the train station, nice hostel, modern dorms, clean, good atmosphere. Friendly staff who gave me help to plan a trip to Taroko national park and a suggestion about renting a scooter. I stayed there just 1 night but it was a pleasant staying. Going to hualien was worth, I had a nice trip there

My friends and I stayed 2 nights in this hostel during Chinese New Year. The location is great; about 5 minute walk from the Hualien train station. It's not in the busiest part of town which was nice for a quieter night's sleep. The hostel itself has a very laid-back surfer feel to it. Nice reception and lounge area that... More

This hostel is worth a stay! We didn't have any complaints the whole time we were there. Stayed for 4 nights in the 8 bed dorm, which was kept really clean. Soft mattresses and really good bedding and pillows. The shared showers and toilets are clean and the water pressure is so good! They provide a free breakfast sandwich and... More

My stay at Amigo's was fantastic. It's a 5 minute walk from the train station and the customer service is the best. I stayed here for 4 days and I forgot to pack my towel. Instead of having to go out and buy a new one, the staff was more than willing to lend me one of theirs. Also, if... More

As we approached this hostel we saw the Hostelling International member sign, so we pulled our cards to get our discount, the owner told us "sorry we are not members anymore, but I like the sign". If they are not members they need to take the sign down or honor the discount. Personally, I think they need to put the... More

I don't usually stay in hostels or other dorm-based accommodation, but I booked a couple of beds at Amigos in the hope of saving a little money and perhaps meeting some interesting people. So, first and foremost, you should bear in mind this review is coloured by my lack of experience with shared accommodation. We arrived there at around 8:00pm... More

Stayed at Amigos for 2 nights (17th & 18th October 2010), as it was a recommendation in Lonely Planet's guidebook and also English travellers that I met recommended it highly. I always think that a "word of mouth" recommendation is the best and so it turned out. I had a great stay at Amigos - Cheen (hope I spelt that... More

This review is long overdue but I would still like to express my appreciation for the warmth and friendliness I felt during my stay at Amigos Hostel. The owner of the hostel is extremely cheerful and makes you feel at home. Perhaps this is due to the fact that she is an avid traveler too and can understand the feeling... More
