The stay was really an enjoyable one. Ah Cheng who is the owner was really friendly and made sure that our stay was comfortable. Plus, the home made breakfast by Ah Cheng's mum was yummy as well. We had Ah Ming who brought us around the sights and sounds of Hualien. He was also very friendly and always allowed us... More

Hua Lien is our first stop in Taiwan. Echo Villa is so beautiful and cosy. Ah Chen is just so friendly. Every single bit in the place is built and design with efforts (including maintaining). He also gave us a cab number that gives us special rates. And it really help in the convenience for us moving around in Hua... More

Encountered some difficulties getting there as the cab driver got lost. Upon reaching Echo Villa, it was really nice to be greeted by the owner Ah Chen who brought umbrellas for us too since it was raining in the evening. We stayed in the popular star baka room and enjoyed our night as it was so cosy. Breakfast was lovely... More

Only manage to stay for a night as it was fully booked. Nevertheless, it was a truly homely, comfortable stay although we only manage to get the smallest room. The host, Ah Cheng was gracious and go the extra mile to make our short stay a memorable one. The breakfast prepared by his mum was healthy and delicious. Looking forward... More

I first found out about this minsu on Tripadvisor, saw the photos travellers posted and instantly fell in love with it! I booked the Starbucks room 1hr after the internet booking is open and never regret it. The minsu owner Ah Cheng is a friendly chap, very nice and helpful. Arranged a driver to bring us around although it was... More

We stay in the glass house room for 3 nights and it was most probably the best 3 nights ever. Being surrounded by the forest and watching rain drops on your rooftop through the glass roof was very therapeutic and relaxing. It was very obvious the owners spent much effort and time into planning the design of the place from... More

Friendly staff and nice fresh fruits in the room. Pretty basic comfort. We were a european couple staying in this weird hotel. Our room (POP Style) was really small, with the shower and the toilet not separated ... Meaning the 'mini bathroom' was completely flooded if you wanted to pee after someone took a shower ! We didn't have breakfast... More
