Ideal location, fantastic view and awesome breakfast”
Ocean lover homestay is the ideal homestay for a holiday in Hualien. The location is very close , within 5 minutes’ walking distance to Zhongshan Road which houses the popular dongdamen market and many popular recommended eateries . Dongdamen market itself is more spacious and modern compared to other night markets in Taiwan. We were upgraded to a top floor quadruple room with the privilege of having easy and almost private access to the upper deck with full ocean view. Room was big with attached bathroom and very comfortable with 2 queen beds. To top it off , we were served with one of the best breakfast prepared with fresh ingredients and so much heart . An ideal convenient location , fantastic view and awesome breakfast , what else could we ask for ? We would without a doubt highly recommend this place for couples and family with older children, as the stairs may be a factor to consider for the elderly . I must add too that the manager and owner was most friendly and helpful and recommended us the must-eats in Hualien town as well as taking the initiative to help us settle our transportation back to Taipei . Thank you Ocean Lover homestay for a most memorable and sweet experience in Hualien .
Dear guests, Thanks for your compliment. We are so flattered. And we are greatly pleased to have you a nice stay experience. Sincerely yours, Manager Yang.

Charming, with great ocean view”
We had a wonderful time in Hualien, made only better by the comfort and convenience of this homestay. After 3 nights we felt like we were part of the family. Great breakfasts, too - different each day.
Wonderful hospitality ”
The moment you stepped into this place, you are instantly being treated like a royal. Check in is easy and so is check out. Location is so perfect that you won't go hungry as there are good eateries nearby and the famous night market is only less than 2 mins walk. What makes the stay unforgettable is their service - thoughtful homemade breakfast, immediate assistance to your needs and friendly staff who never gaol to put on a smile whenever they see you. Highly recommended place to start if you're in Hualien (if not minding walking upstairs including carrying your own luggages)
Dear Wong, Those were six fantastic days we had with you. Thanks for you kindness and it is our pleasure to get you to have a nice stay experience. Time did fly. Even though you stayed for quit a few days, happy moment slipped soon. i may think of you two on some raining days. It is not only raining days make people sentimental but you arrived on a raining day. Sincerely yours, Wei.
friendly staff, warm homestay”
Great homestay, friendly staff and owner, great breakfast, if I have change to go Hualien, I will choose to stay there again.
Nice stay and recommended”
The first day we reached the homestay was already quite late afternoon and all of us were hungry. The staff recommended us good food nearby. She lent me her bicycle to town to buy some food. Very nice staff! The interior design of the homestay is very nice. We love the rooftop balcony as we can view the beautiful ocean and enjoy the stars at night. The next day morning we were so lucky that can watch sunrise from the rooftop balcony. For those love ocean should stay here...
Great place to chill out! ”
Definitively a place to recommend if you want to enjoy a leisury stay out of the city center (yet close by!). Hualien is a great place to venture around the region.
Excellent Location, Fabulous view, Fantastic Service”
The location is just 2 minutes walk from the Dong Da Men night market. There is a balcony facing the ocean in the South-east direction so you'll be able to catch a nice sunrise. The owner also serves up a hearty home-cooked breakfast and delivers fantastic service to ensure that your stay is comfortable. The room is also sparkly clean!
So happy to know your satisfaction opinion. Oceanlover bnb makes efforts to let travelers enjoy their stay. Seeing this comment gives us more fuel to continue! Thanks so much.
Genuinely for ocean lovers”
open you balcony with direct view to the ocean. each room/floor are theme different. loverbird will like it here. allow use of washing machine, have viewing deck as well as roof access with table n chairs. great for family vacation stay. breakfast is great as well.
Thank you for praise
true taiwan homestay style, neat & tidy and great location”
This is my second time staying here. The first time we had a doubleroom overlooking the ocean. This time we used a 3-bedroom so no such luxury. Location was great, especially that the new night market has opened just 5 min walk away. The breakfast portion seem to have gotten a bit smaller, though still more than enough for an average stomach like myself.
Thank you for praise, breakfast we can increase the amount does not increase
Great Breakfast”
The stay is considered good. However it's not friendly to huge baggage travelers as there is not lift. Our room is at fourth floor. Another issue was the table fan is filled with thick dust which not really good to those who is allergic. Well, it's fine for us as male travelers. The homestay serve a very good and nutritious home made breakfast. Overall we have an enjoyable stay.
Amazing and relaxing stay”
Very wonderful! Breakfast was customised to you, free wifi in our room, international channels on TV, free parking if you're driving, ocean view, nice roof top
staying in your home and not hotel”
The staffs were super friendly and attentive. They serve great home make breakfast. Room was very clean and spacious. The place is more like a home than a hotel. Bed was comfortable. Wi fi is available.
Quaint ocean hut”
We loved the warmth of the staff. It made the stay so much cosier than being in a hotel. The artwork and furnishing here made it feel like we walked into a dreamland. The only drawback was a soaked floormat in the toilet when we checked in. That aside, the warmth of the people here and the cosiness of this hideout made us wish we stayed longer. Thumbs up!
Exceptional hospitality ”
Very friendly staff and great hospitality. The morning and night view from the room was perfect, as the balcony overlook the sea. Location is convenient, with just walking distance from the night market. Home made breakfast served was great and different everyday. The staff was friendly, helpful, helping us to book taxi on our last day. Would definitely come back here again.
This is our great pleasure to have you a nice stay experience. We will continue to maintain the good things you mentioned above and looking forward to your coming again. Best regards, Oceanlover bnb.
Great Stay in this hotel”
even though I'm stay at the 4th floor, tired to climb up the staircase, but it's totally very good vision at the roof top, I had very good sleep in this hotel, they also provide washing machine which is very good for us to clean up our cloth. and the breakfast is amazing.. I can said that it's totally worth it! Must Try!!!
Exceptional”
Friendly staff, can see some thoughtful touch in the room. Near night market. Love the breakfast. Preferred the room to be a little brighter in lighting for children to watch TV at night. Struggled a little to find power plugs around room. The rest was good.
Dear Emily, We are glad you like our service. Thanks for your kindness. For the moody reason, we have the light less bright but we will take your suggestion into huge consideration and make effort to improve it. For example, we can change the light to adjustable bulb to let guests can choose the bright degree they need. Sincerely yours, Yang.
