Great place, great people!!

Encounter Hostel was GREAT!! I would definitely stay again! The place was about a 7 min taxi ride and it was clean, big, and airy. Four people stayed and we had nothing but praise for this place. The owner, Mr. Wang and his employees went out of their way to accommodate us. He even helped us with our other problems at our different hotels, staying on the phone with us (we speak very little chinese) and even bargaining prices for us! You don't get that just anywhere!

便宜，附近機能不錯

便宜，離市區很近，附近超商和店家很多，有一個車位可以停車，廚房的設備很多，如果要簡單料理的話很方便！不過在枕頭上看到一根頭髮，清潔度可以加強！

地點蠻好找的，老闆也很健談、很Nice。 房間隔音不錯。 若是家庭有大行李的話，建議事先與老闆連繫，看是否能請老闆協助安排在低樓層，這樣的話、搬行李箱比較不會辛苦喔~~

民宿主人很親切，房間也很整齊乾淨，床鋪舒適讓人一夜好眠，散步20分鐘左右即可到達東大門夜市，是個鬧中取靜的好地方，唯一的缺點是浴室不夠明亮，洗澡水會忽然變很燙，不小心會被燙傷，如果浴室的狀況能夠改善，會是個在花蓮很不錯住宿地點

在市區裡的民宿

老闆娘很親切，民宿像住家裡一樣。一樓公共區域有擺備品供房客自行取用，還有咖啡機和小點心。不過浴室的水乎冷乎熱，乎大乎小。但整體來說，以便宜的房價住到舒服的房間，還是個不錯的經驗。

一間整潔的民宿

民宿老闆娘很好人，入住時放了水果小吃，廚房公用設備齊，有即磨咖啡機，房間簡潔，住得舒服，附近有食肆夜市。門牌較細，晚間難找。

體貼乾淨細心的民宿

雖然只是民宿，但是老闆娘的品味很好，肯花錢，值得再來。 衛浴用品是用有牌子的而不是那種內容物不知道是什麼的。 化妝桌的小機關還很方便分類使用（可惜我是男的） 冷氣我沒記錯的話是大金的。 真肯花錢。 住這種地方肯定不差。 離花蓮夜市大約一公里走路就到，不到四百公尺處還有一個無名的早餐店也必須拜訪。

第一次住民宿，房间干净舒服，而且当天到的时候老板娘给换了一个大的房间，更宽敞，有阳台。 房内设施齐全，楼梯边的小小工艺品是个亮点，很温馨。价格不贵。想要旅游找价格实惠，住宿品质高的朋友，极力推荐这家。
