Meci Hotel

12/7-8 Another beautiful stay with Meci. Thanks for a room with park and mountain view. AND, they have hot chocolate....didn't see it last time! Coffee is sooooo 1999. This stay got me contemplating....MEMBERSHIP vs/and LOYALTY! Little known about this hotel.....BIG SURPRISE. I felt right at home. I was received by actual people.... Sid and his lady colleague are friendly, helpful and efficient. I arrived before 10am. Their check out time is 12....their guests were still asleep. They got the formalities done and kept my luggage so that I could go see the city....ON ONE OF THEIR BIKES. All included in the very reasonable price. Nice room with everything one needs....and a very good shower. Open reception/lobby/hang out area with snacks galore! AND.....rooftop hang out area with coin laundry. Thanks Meci....you've served me well.

Very positive experience. Place is quite nice if you look for a decent Hostel in Hualien (even though it might look a little bit run down from the outside).Nice roof top terrace for a night cup and 24h free flow coffee/tea is a plus. Communication with the front desk staff varies a lot, depending on the individual English language skills of the staff on duty, but has never been a real issue. Moreover, we‘ve been quite surprised having a German speaking guy there the day we‘ve checked in.

Its an alright budget hotel. Location wise, its not exactly near the station, about 10mins walk away. Rooms are small but creative in design. Parking is limited, or you will have to park in nearby neighboring. Staff service are helpful. No breakfast though, plenty of options nearby.

Excellent location. Within walking distance to TRA and the main bus station. Friendly staff with lots of snacks available. Basic stay but with good CP Value

Very close to the station and also close to a lot of scooter rentals. Nice vibe and cozy room. We came in late and left and just wanted an affordable night stay spot and Meci was the best spot for that!

The location of this hotel is great, bus and train stations, supermarkets etc. are all within walking distance. The room had the standard equipment (TV, hair dryer, fridge etc.) one would expect from a hotel in this price range, however the interior was a bit neglected, shabby. Not sure if the staff treat their jobs as a disposable side hustle or actual means of making a living because their attitude has some room for improvement, especially the big-sized hairy guy in glasses, who certainly seemed like I am some pesky, annoying thing that must be put out of sight ASAP. Never heard "hi", "thank you" etc. from anyone either. They also hang on the deposit for an unreasonably long time.

Nice hotel. Close to main station. Big room. Good price. I found it inconvenient to sign a document that I don't need daily cleaning services and then the cleaning lady still ringed my bell to ask. In the future, maybe just ask at check in whether the guest wants daily cleaning or not. Or just only clean when guest changes, like other hotels too

Clean Friendly staff goes out their way to help me find food and a taxi driver. Great location center of everything. Free snack and nice coffee in the lobby. Shower is great. Just the mattress is a hit too soft for my taste. Would definitely come back if i visit the city

The best part about this hotel isn't its friendly staff, its cute boutique feel, or its well-maintained rooms. No, the best part is the lobby. It's because if you happen to be there at the right time, the friendly lobby dog will come around and let you scratch its head and lie down in your lap. It's magical. Meci Hotel is lovely. Hualien isn't a big populated city so hotel prices are cheaper here. As a result, something like Meci Hotel is already considered on the higher range of hotel prices. I think it's well worth it. The hotel is run by younger staff with a younger vibe. A whimsical lobby, colourful rooms, bikes for rent to see the town, and of course, a dog wanders in and out of the place (don't worry, he's owned by one of the staff). Even without the dog, the lobby is one of my favourite spots to chill. It's got a small breakfast area and a fridge full of glass-bottled drinks (free). Some of the staff members have no problem speaking English and all of them are friendly and helpful, especially if you're looking for tours in the city or require general directions. The room we got wasn't the biggest or the newest, but it was quite nice and cozy. We got a mountain view room and the mountain is literally right outside, shrouded in mist a lot of times. There is something very calm and beautiful about the entire city of Hualien, a place known for its natural wonders. It's the place that Taiwan cityfolk go to get away from the hustle and bustle. That calm, and quiet vibe is perfectly captured by Meci Hotel as well, and it made for a truly relaxing stay. (58/100) - 2019

Amazingly cute and convenient location! Friendly and helpful staff too! This hotel is located only a few blocks away from the main train station. There are scooter/motorbikes/car rentals along the same stretch, and plenty of food options around the corner. The night market is a bit of a walk (15 minutes) but the hotel offers complimentary single speed bikes if you need to get around. They also offer free snacks and soft drinks at the lobby. Would not hesitate to stay again. Note - can't flush toilet paper down the toilet like most rural areas. Just be prepared to wipe and put theaoiked paper in a trash bin in the washroom!
