Hot Springs Hotels in Taiwan, China

When we arrived at noon, the hotel staff very kindly told us we could enjoy some free afternoon tea and coffee before heading across the street to the park for a free foot spa. They even checked us in before 4 PM. This really showcased the locals' hospitality. Our room had a private hot spring tub, and we could also enjoy the open-air hot spring on the R floor in the evening and morning. I truly believe I've fallen in love with the service at Hotel Royal Chiao Hsi, and from now on, whenever I come to Jiaoxi, I'll only stay here!

The location is excellent. Turn right out of the hotel and it's a one or two-minute walk to a bustling commercial street, and only 6 minutes on foot to the popular Yishunxuan bakery. It's convenient for getting around yet relatively quiet. The hotel exterior is grand, and the lobby offers complimentary drinks and snacks. It shares outdoor hot springs and a bathhouse with Just Sleep. The R floor has a fantastic regular-temperature swimming pool and two hot spring pools with great views. However, I wasn't a fan of the hotel's interior design. While the guest rooms are quite spacious, the layout felt cramped and stuffy. This is because the hot spring tub is located right by the window facing outside, and to ensure privacy, lattices have been installed, making it less open and airy. There's an air purifier in the room. Breakfast is on the 11th floor; the food is decent, but all the windows are completely covered by beige mesh screens. Only a little light can get through, so you have to turn on the lights even during the day, which isn't a great experience. The service attitude was very enthusiastic. The public bathhouse is small and the facilities are average. The outdoor hot springs are suitable for kids to play in. Overall, the value for money is just average.

This time, it was a one-night stay with two meals. There were two time slots for both dinner and breakfast, which you had to choose upon check-in. If you're still hungry, there are also vending machines or a 7-Eleven (open until 10 PM).

The public hot spring is nice and the scenery is beautiful. The air is fresh, the room is quite big, the TV is very big, the service of the counter staff is good, and the dinner in the restaurant is average and satisfying. Don't ask for it, it'll be nice

The room and bathtub were both very spacious, and the environment was clean and tidy. There's parking available for both cars and scooters. Staying on the 8th floor, the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows would probably be beautiful on a clear day, allowing you to enjoy the scenery right from bed. It's just a shame it was rainy when I visited. Overall, it was a great experience! I didn't hear any noise from other rooms or the sound of water running, so the soundproofing is excellent!

The highlight of choosing the Fleur de Chine Hotel at Sun Moon Lake was the complimentary shuttle service to and from Taichung HSR station. Besides the excellent service and beautiful scenery, the hotel rooms not only have their own hot springs but there's also a public hot spring for guests to enjoy. Breakfast is served until 12 PM, and dinner includes a complimentary bottle of wine per table. The beds in the rooms are incredibly comfortable, and the mini-fridge is stocked with free drinks. In the afternoon, there's a shuttle bus service to the pier, and if you want to take the round-the-lake bus, they even provide a free one-day pass. The shuttle back to Taichung departs at 12 PM, so I regrettably didn't get a chance to visit many attractions. I'll definitely come back if I have the opportunity.

We weren't informed before check-in that the public hot spring bath was undergoing maintenance. To make matters worse, the maintenance schedule posted on-site didn't even match the actual situation, which was a real letdown. The complimentary bicycles were quite old and dilapidated, a slight minus. However, guests could sign up for the mochi pounding activity, and a buffet dinner was also available for an additional charge. These two aspects were quite good and added some positive points back.

The hotel has a parking lot, which is very convenient. It's also close to the lively areas, so food and drinks are easily accessible. Since it was a weekday, they upgraded our room, which was a nice bonus. The only downside was the poor soundproofing. In the middle of the night, there were loud noises coming from the opposite room that lasted for a long time and were very disruptive, making it hard to sleep. In the morning, you could clearly hear the cleaning staff dragging the vacuum cleaner and talking.

I was very satisfied with this hot spring hotel trip. After living in Taiwan for so long, this was my first time experiencing a hot spring with such a rich iron content. The room had a great view, though it was a bit low this time. I think the view would be even better if I could have booked a higher floor. The staff were friendly and the overall facilities were excellent. This stay left me with a wonderful memory.

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Although the public hot spring closed quite early, each room has a private hot spring that you can use whenever you like. You can also contact the hotel in advance to arrange a complimentary shuttle service to or from the nearby bus terminal or train station. There were many excellent restaurants and farms worth visiting in the area.
