Being away from the train station brought a vacation vibe. I was honored to be upgraded to a sea-view room for my two-night stay, and I'm truly grateful 🙏. The spacious lobby immediately felt comfortable, and there's a reading room in the loft, offering a relaxing space. Entering the sea-view room was refreshing, and the wooden floors gave it a homey feel. There's also a game room on the 8th floor where kids can burn off energy. Breakfast was still plentiful, and being able to enjoy it after checking out added to the leisurely experience. The only minor drawback was the lack of bicycle rentals, but that doesn't detract from an otherwise excellent stay!

Taking advantage of the rare National Day long weekend for a well-deserved vacation, we came to Farglory Ocean Park in Hualien and immediately booked this hotel. I had visited as a child, but all the memories had faded, so this was a great chance to relive them. The lobby is stunning, and upon entering the room, I felt so comfortable that I immediately knew it was worth it. I will definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity.

It's fantastic! Everything was great, except for the 23-minute walk from the train station. The swimming pool is an infinity pool, and there's also a steam room and sauna. The breakfast was delicious, and it's really thoughtful that it's available until 1:30 PM. Bicycles are also available for rent (though you can't shift to a heavier gear, so they're a bit hard to ride). The room was spacious, and the bathtub was large and very comfortable.
Breakfast: Delicious! Highly recommended! And it's available until 1:30 PM.
Service: Thoughtful, and you can still use the facilities after checking out.
Hotel Location: It's a bit of a walk from Xincheng Train Station.
Cleanliness: Superb, very clean!

We went to Hualien during a typhoon, didn't go anywhere, and mostly stayed at the hotel. In the afternoon, there were all sorts of snacks, ice cream, coffee, and drinks. Dinner was incredibly crowded, but the hotel staff refilled the food very quickly, which was impressive. Breakfast was also very abundant. It's definitely worth visiting again.

There was an issue with the water pressure, and staff were sent to check it right away. Thank you so much! The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, including steamed buns, fruit, and cereal, which the children enjoyed. There is also a playroom that the kids loved. The service staff regularly checked in on how things were going. If we visit Hualien again for sightseeing in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

This stay in the Japanese-Western style ocean view room was fantastic. It was very spacious, featuring a large king-size bed, a Japanese-style living area, two sinks, a separate shower and toilet, and an oversized bathtub. Being on a high floor, it offered a stunning view of Hualien Port. The amenities and space were truly impressive. I paid an extra fee for an additional futon and breakfast for one person, which was well worth it. We were on the 15th floor. The hotel also has a well-equipped swimming pool and gym, and in the basement, there are table tennis, billiards, and children's arcade games. We could take our time enjoying breakfast until noon, which was a very thoughtful touch. Both my family's elders and I were extremely satisfied with this trip. If you're looking to enjoy ocean views, I highly recommend it; you can directly watch the dawn break and the sunrise. If you plan to explore the city, you'll need to arrange transportation. For enjoying the hotel and the sea view, it's highly recommended.

Very close to the train station for those that want to me close. And the free snacks was a wonderful perk. Staff were courteous and the environment in the lobby is lovely. The rooms were also great.

What to know before visiting Hualien
What Hualien is known for
Hualien draws visitors mostly for Theme parks, Outdoor & sports activities and Tours, with Water activities and Zoos & aquariums also popular. Klook booking data shows demand rises and falls through the year: October is a clear high point while December is the quietest. That rhythm makes Hualien a great pick for outdoor adventures and coastal days during busier months, and for relaxed, uncrowded exploration in quieter months. Decide whether you want lively peak-season atmosphere or quieter, more flexible travel — Klook booking data can help you plan around those demand swings.
Best months to visit Hualien
Demand peaks in October and drops to its trough in December, while prices move differently: the priciest month for typical paid hotel nights was August and the lowest typical price fell in May. Where demand and price align (for example busier months with higher interest) you’ll find a lively atmosphere; where they diverge you can sometimes catch good value. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for May or December; for peak-season atmosphere choose October or the summer busier months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | USD 70 |
| February | About average | USD 72 |
| March | About average | USD 63 |
| April | Busier than usual | USD 50 |
| May | About average | USD 28 |
| June | About average | USD 32 |
| July | Busier than usual | USD 63 |
| August | Busier than usual | USD 79 |
| September | Busier than usual | USD 71 |
| October | Busier than usual | USD 69 |
| November | About average | USD 63 |
| December | Very quiet | USD 66 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Hualien
Klook booking data shows a wide spread in typical nightly hotel prices across districts: the most affordable typical nightly rate is in Yuli at around USD 44, while Xiulin sits at the priciest end with about USD 344, a gap of roughly 87% between them. Lower-priced districts tend to suit travellers prioritizing budget and ease of booking flexibility, while pricier districts suit those wanting more premium lodging and a different style of stay. Use these typical nightly prices from Klook booking data to match your budget and the kind of experience you prefer.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers book experiences fairly close to their trip: Klook booking data shows people typically book about 4 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 16 days out. That means you can be flexible and still find options a few days before travel, but in busier months such as October or the summer months it pays to lock in popular activities earlier. Book through Klook to secure spots and check typical prices and availability in advance — that way you balance flexibility with the best chance of getting the experiences you want.
