Parkview Hotel Hualien

As a family of four, we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Parkview. Highlights include: free shuttle from the train station (they met us at the train station exit with a sign so it was easy to find), delicious breakfast buffet, concierge to schedule tours (they reserved a half day tour of Taroko for us and it was an amazing tour too), Game Center for the kids, indoor and outdoor pools, huge rooms, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. A few stand outs include Bob, Vic and Jill - thank you!! We were at the hotel during the April 2024 earthquake. The hotel staff took incredible measures to ensure we were safe even though we were all experiencing the same frightening earthquake. They handed out complimentary food and water, helped us navigate how to leave the area by train, taxi or plane, talked to my family members to answer questions, and ultimately provided us a room to stay an extra night.

I had the family suite, the room was big and perfect layout, and the view was awesome. The two things i wouldn't give 5 stars are, the carpet on 7th floors (where we stayed) smells burns and terrible. We had to hold the breath and walked by quickly. Not smelly on the 8th floor tho..where my other family stayed. The second thing was their breakfast are ok, not wow like a 5 stars. And they definitely short of staffs during weekend that we stayed for 2 nights.

This was the best hotel out of a few we stayed around the island. Rooms are newly remodeled and felt super clean. Shower had good pressure. No icky mold showing like other hotels we stayed in that were rated 4 stars and above. Room, halls and lobby had a clean smell. Very fun for families since they have a Game Center. It was super cheap for the passes which last your whole stay. Pool is good but could use some remodeling. Overall great hotel.

Lovely lawn and garden with vast variety of recreational activities. Great fir families with young kids
