Good price for services

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Dec 2018via mobile
Very reasonable prices for the level of service rendered. Free shuttle bus provided every hour which is very useful to have. Very nice games rooms with laundry services available. Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. We used this as a Base to visit the nearby taroko gorge national park and the nearby spa towns. Highly recommended indeed.

We stayed in this hotel during a Taiwan roundtrip with my family. We had high expectations from the hotel as fullon is one of Taiwan's high end hotel chains. But the stay was at best 'fair'.
The basic facilities of the hotel are excellent. Beautiful lobby, Pool is great, Great spa. Nice rooms, silence and cleanlyness. There are however a couple of real spoilers:

The hotel is located at a semi-industrial part of the Hualien harbour. Although I felt safe when making an evening stroll, there is really nothing to do in the evening.

This would not have been such a problem when the hotel would have had nice internal alternatives in the evening. But they don't. There is no bar, the restaurant closes early. They won't serve you a coffeee inthe lobby. There is reallly no place to stay if you would like to have relaxing conversation before or after dinner.

The restaurant as such as managed as a factory, not as a comfortable place to have a good time. The use strict timing policies and you are forced to leave the restaraurant area after 20:30 (!) with no other place to go in the building than your room. With NT$750 the dinner buffet is heavily overpriced for Taiwan standards. The buffet is primarily focussed on Chinese customers. There is a very small corner with a very limited selection of western food (sloppy pizza and fries). I had a great dinner with their sushi and dumplings, but I know that a lot of western customers would not like this buffet.

Also for breakfast they are having this zero tolerance timing policy. They even forced a family next to us with children of 2 and 3 year to leave the breakfast area at 10:00 although the children were still struggling with their food.
Next evening we switched to a hotel close the Hualien night market and it was not until then that we found out that Hualien has such a nice and cosy innercity. Wouldn't go for Fullon Hualien a second time.

Room tip: Don't pay extra for sea view. You will be overlooking an industrial area anyway.

Excellent hotel. Very clean and modern. I had a room on the 15th floor which was large and spacious with a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. There was a traditional area with cushions on the floor to have tea. Plenary of storage place everywhere. Most important of all the air conditioner worked really well and I was able to set it to a cool 18C every night. It’s a bit of a walk to downtown Hualien but the hotel offers a shuttle service if you were so inclined. The staff was also extremely courteous and friendly.

The breakfast buffet is typical Chinese but does have some western offerings as well — cereal, fried eggs, cheese, etc. and occasionally ham and/or bacon.

There wasn’t an iron in the room, but they brought it up promptly when asked. The conference had a banquet at the hotel for two consecutive nights. This was a 15-20 course meal (maybe more if seemed endless),
all catered by the hotel.

No complaints at all. I recommend it highly.

Again, I am reviewing an hotel that can't understand the most important point of staying in a hotel: being able to sleep!!!!

At the Fullon, somebody decided to install ultra modern LED lit EXIT signs in all rooms, without considering that the sign actually flows the whole room with light during the night. So, unless you bring an eye mask, forget about sleeping.
As if the light issue was not enough, the air con system has been installed without silencers, and even when turned off it keeps emitting a strong humming sound, so if you only brought the mask, hard luck! You should also have brought ear plugs.

Seriously, what is in the designer/architech/manager's mind when they build hotels?

Breakfast is a typical taiwanese affair, mainly adapted to the locals' taste. No point in trying to get bread that actually tastes bread, not uncommon in the island, but for 100USD/night, they could try to provide better western options, Hualien is not a metropoli for sure, but somewhere there must be a decent baker.

And finally, if you plan to use the swimming pool, bear in mind that they require you to wear the kind of tight professional swimmer's swimming suits that would only fit somebody with Johnny Weismuller's muscular body, and just looks disgusting on any body else. If you are image conscious and wish to wear your every-day's bath trunks you will have to pretend you never saw the sign at the entrance and ignore it for the greater good of esthetics.
