Safety: Good location, very safe.
Facilities: As pictured, a 'prison-style' experience, which I definitely felt.
Hygiene: Hygiene was acceptable.
Environment: The environment was unique, worth experiencing.

I went alone and planned to stay here for one night. When I arrived, I fell asleep right away without taking any pictures ☺️ Overall, it was great – quiet and peaceful 🥰

Provided a fine bed to sleep in, but there was no counter staff and little atmosphere. Talked about a bar etc but that is all closed up.

The room was spacious, tidy, and clean. The prison theme was amusing, and they even have a photo area where you can pose as an inmate. The surrounding area is pleasant, with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

During my recent trip to Hualien, I had the unique opportunity to stay at the Peace Prison Cafe Inn Hostel, and it truly exceeded my expectations. As soon as I arrived, the prison theme instantly caught my attention. The rooms were designed to resemble prison cells, which added an intriguing and immersive element to my stay.
One thing that stood out to me was the absence of a traditional reception desk. Instead, to gain entry, all guests need to do is call the contact number provided, which adds a touch of mystery to the experience. The lady working there was exceptionally helpful and patient, even taking the time to explain how to use the facilities in Chinese. Her assistance made my stay all the more enjoyable.
As a solo traveler, I couldn't help but appreciate the eerie vibes that the place exudes, especially since I'm a fan of horror. Every night, I found myself immersed in an atmosphere that perfectly catered to my taste. It's not often that you come across a hostel that provides such a unique and thrilling ambiance.
Cleanliness is always a priority for me, and I was pleased to find that Peace Prison Cafe Inn Hostel did not disappoint in this aspect. The rooms were well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. The convenient location of the hostel was also a major plus, making it easy for me to explore and enjoy everything that Hualien has to offer.
In conclusion, if you're an adventurous traveler seeking a one-of-a-kind experience, I highly recommend checking out Peace Prison Cafe Inn Hostel. With its prison-themed rooms, helpful staff, eerie ambiance, and convenient location, it's an ideal choice for those looking to add an exciting twist to their trip. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I am overlook that this hotel has no lift. So we need to carry heavy luggage to 1st floor. Provide many boardgame and playing card at the counter. And the prison Theme is quite fun, the hotel provide many prison cloth and prison accessories for photo shooting. special experience.

Self-check-in is very convenient. The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Dongdaemun Night Market.

I originally booked a single room with bunk beds, but when I went to use the toilet, I found the toilet was very dirty. I immediately contacted customer service, and they let me change to a double room. Then, there was unkempt trash in the bathroom! I contacted customer service again, and they let me change to another guesthouse, finally ending this terrible stay.

A top choice for business trips to Hualien – reasonably priced. Just a 10-minute walk to the night market and morning market. Only a 3-minute walk to Gongzheng Steamed Buns and Miaokou Black Tea. A reliable choice you won't be disappointed with.

After leaving Guangfu to visit Hualien City, I found this themed hotel on a travel website. Everyone who saw my post thought it was very unique 🥰. Shortly after entering the room, the emergency light broke, but the owner immediately came to replace it 👍. The water pressure was great and the bed was comfortable.
