          Great location in the middle of the Taroka Gorge”

          The building is clearly an older facility that has seen a lot of visitors over many, many years, but it is well-maintained and staff does a great job keeping it clean. Wifi worked in the rooms, as did hot water in the showers and the airconditioning. I stayed one night in a private room on the 500s level (Basement 2), but there was still a large window facing the beautiful valley walls. There were a few small bugs, but no mosquitos, and that is to be expected in such a remote location. Room was super quiet and comfortable. Breakfast (included with room) and dinner (available at 250 NT per person) were basic, but good. I would stay here again, 10/10.

          Great stay in Taroko”

          For the amount of money (70$) we had paid for this 3-person room, we were expecting so much less. But we walked in to our very spacious, greatly lit room and were surprised by how clean, and well-kept it was! There were also sweets, coffee, and water bottles that were replenished daily. Will 100% stay here again when I come back.

          This stay is technically in a hostel, but feels like a normal hotel. The price is unbeatable and the location is a 5 min walk from downtown. Fabulous stay and very clean center. We even got to see a movie about the local indigenous tribes at night.

          Perfect place to stay in Taroko if you don't want to spend that much amount and don't need a luxurious hotels. Simple and nice. Has a great view for mountain river. Breakfast is fine, but actually never met a bad food in Taiwan.

          Ask for the view you want. The staff is great and accommodating. You must walk up a hill to get to the hotel so be aware that you should be moderately in shape.

          Booked this stay as couldn’t get a room at Silk Place (stayed in 2013). Had a triple room w 2 single beds and 1 double bed. It was adequate for 3 with a good view. Surprisingly the 250NT dinner was really good. We were glad that we didn’t managed to eat at the small eateries nearby which closed just aft 5pm. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Overall a really good stay except for the unpleasant male receptionist who only did his bare minimum for the job.

          Do not expect a fancy hotel but it is a clean, nice and convenient place to stay in Taroko gorge. Really very convenient. staff was nice and friendly. A good breakfast and possibility of having dinner too.

          Fantastic location, tricky without a car”

          We had a nicely sized room with three beds and an incredible mountain view. The center had nice if quiet basic amenities: outdoor seating with wifi, a decent breakfast, laundry, a little convenience store-like place to buy gifts or snacks. Only drawback was the accessibility around Tienhsiang without a car. We took a taxi up to the center, which worked great, but once you're there there isn't much at all in Tienhsiang. 7/11 was the best lunch option we found. One tip: if you're looking for something to do in Tienhsiang, there's a nice secluded little trail from Wen Tianxiang Park back to the youth activity center. We saw a lot of monkeys along that walk!

          Great for overnighting in Taroko”

          The youth centre is clean and well located right in the heart of Taroko. It’s a 5 minute walk to the bus station to catch the 302 or 1133A. You can get to the popular sights early before all the tour buses arrive since you’re staying in the park. Breakfast was ok. There is a Taroko aboriginal cultural performance at night that was interesting to watch.

          Loved the friendly and accommodating staff, clean rooms, and location. There is a 7-11 close by for quick and cheap meals. Highly recommend renting a car to get to the youth activity center and driving around the park.

          Best location for Taroko Gorge hikes with amazing view”

          It's an average hostel in terms of decor and look and that goes up to spectacular because of it's location. Stay in Tianxiang to get much more convenient access to the Taroko Gorge walks instead of staying in Hualien or Xincheng. It feels a bit on the pricey side, but considering the lack of other options and its relatively secluded location it's pretty good. Try to get a room facing the mountain, it's an amazing view. Staff are friendly and accommodating Only negative was the food, very oily veggies for dinner and breakfast, but a lot of breakfast is like this in Taiwan.

          Outstanding location. Sort of like half way between a hostel and hotel. Very easy to ride shuttle buses from here to many trails in park. Can walk to others. Walk up the hill from bus stop to hotel might be a bit more than some people were expecting. Youth activity centers in other parks are nicer

          The location of the center is amazing where it overlooks the river and nestled in the mountain. The room was a clean Japanese style room with 2 huge beds and a large window facing the river and mountain. I enjoyed the sounds of the river rushing by and the sun waking us up in the morning. The breakfast was all you can eat style and had a wide variety of dishes with lots of vegetables. Similarly, the dinner which you had to pay for (only 200 NT) was a great deal for the price. I would eat here instead of the vendors near the bus stop. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and more than willing to converse with you in English which was very good. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay that was just right for the price.

          Simple option inside Taroko park”

          The hotel is quite basic, but we enjoyed a clean room (quite big) with private bathroom, small balcony with great View, aircon, tv (many international tv channels). Location within taroko park, with easy direct access by tourist bus from Hualien or Xincheng station. You need to get off the bus at the last stop Tianxiang, and then it is a 5 mn walk (step road !!) up to the hotel. The breakfast is ok. It is very quiet at night as far away from the main road. Very good hotel choice if you plan to stay within the park to do some hiking. Staff is very nice ( limited english spoken though), check in/out process fast and hasslefree.

          We stayed for one night. + Room was large and spacious. + Clean + Good water pressure from the shower head + Great view from the room's window + Free snack given (we had a packet of chocolate wafer sticks) + There was free-flow braised pork rice at breakfast, which we generously helped ourselves to because the braised pork gravy was so tasty! - no hairdryer - hotel design and furnishing are dated and dull - located on a very steep hill that would have been an easy 5-min walk from the bus terminal but took us 10 mins instead because of the steep incline – great workout but not after you've already completed other trails at Taroko! - Breakfast ends at 8.30am (we didn't know until we heard the staff announce it while we were eating – luckily we went to eat early!)
