World Inn

Hello travelers, how's going? Welcome back~

Come join us! You’ll find our hostel to be just a 5-10 minute walk from the Hualien train station. Our friendly staff is always there to help with local knowledge and help organize your trip around Taroko, Hualien, and the rest of Taiwan!
Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or a calm environment to relax, we are here for you.

Our hostel has been created with our passion for traveling, so you can experience the world right here in Hualien.

Our lounge is cozy with a uniquely designed Taiwan-shaped table, and a daytime coffee shop and nighttime bar. During the day, locals come to interact and learn more about our global travelers. At night, the bar area is packed with travelers and their friends, all excited to share stories about their journeys.

Please see our photos below to have an overview! We hope that here you can make friends, share travel experiences, and explore the city of Hualien.

We are always trying to give people a clean and comfortable place to stay, and we strive to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere so that each traveler can enjoy their time in Hualien.

We hope you can stay here like a local, and understand more than what is said in traveling books. We can show you around the east side of Taiwan and help you explore the secret sides of this city! We can also provide a ton of information about traveling in Taiwan, as well as assist you in seeing all there is to see in Hualien. If you are interested in Taiwanese or Mandarin, we can do language exchanges in our large common room. At the moment we are self-learning Japanese and Spanish online!

Volunteering at World Inn was a soul-nourishing and rare experience. From the start, UnaAga and the team welcomed me with such warmth—it felt like joining a family. The tasks were easy and well-paced, and the hostel itself is clean, beautifully designed, and wonderfully chill.

Hualien is a place of quiet healing, where mountains and sea invite you to slow down and reconnect. If you’re looking to contribute, connect, and grow, World Inn is a truly special place. I wholeheartedly recommend World Inn!

I had an amazing time in World Inn. Una is seriously interested in you as a person and your culture. The environment is very social, everyone is super nice and interested to bring you closer to Taiwanese culture.
The work is exactly what is agreed on or sometimes less when there is not too much to do.
I definitely recommend it to everyone!
Big thanks to the whole World Inn Team <3
