Yilan Hostels

The hotel stay (or perhaps I can describe as air BnB?) included the costume dress up (it's for all of the days you are going to stay there). It was fun though it's quite cold when we visited. There are elaborate princess dresses for all sizes of people, young and old. And their outdoors are just perfect for taking photos. One can also dress up and take photos in their rooms or even when having meals. It's just that they don't have photography services so it would depend on quality of smartphones. We have sort of a whole house by ourselves.. entering from a gate passing by a flower garden then to the main door. It's a great experience and kids would really love it. There's a princess bed in the room with slide for mine. The breakfast was interesting. We had a variety of food from soups, toast, porridge and little snacks (all handmade), milk tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. Location wise, have to get an Uber to go out to get some lunch/dinner. There are no food deliveries in the area. There is no in house dining other than breakfast (included in cost) and hi tea. Overall, this place to stay is a great experience and value for money.

[Vasty Hotel is a 3-star boutique resort in Jiaoxi offering a Nordic-inspired, minimalist aesthetic with exceptional hospitality. The property features private in-room stone hot spring tubs, a 24/7 complimentary snack bar, a rooftop pool, and a prime location near the bus station. While rooms are compact and breakfast is locally focused, it provides high value through generous amenities.

A weird one to review. First off, this place is very retro. I felt like I was back in the 1980s! Whether that's good or not depends on you! In general the place was very clean, however this was the first hotel in 2 visits to Taiwan where I found ants in the room. The day I arrived I found one, which I killed and disposed of in the toilet. The next day when I got back from a long hike, I found 6 ants and about the same smaller things. Also killed and disposed of these. The third day, there were none. That might be related to the next thing. The TV remote was in a plastic case, which was weird. I've not seen any hotels do that for years. Probably for the best though as it was first there was something sticky on the back of the remote. Could have been shutting but my guess is the battery had leaked and the ants were attracted to the smell of the chemicals. The remote still kind of worked but only about half the buttons. The day with no ants, I found the cleaners had cleaned the remote, but it also no longer worked at all. The next meeting just as I was checking out I saw the cleaners and told them and it was just dead batteries. They replaced them and the remote seemed fixed. So maybe the ants just liked the chemicals on the remote? In terms of facilities, the hotel is fairly basic but still reasonable. There's a table and 2 chairs in the room, but I didn't feel I wanted to use them because the ant's had put me off that side of the room. There was a fridge but it was unplugged and when I plugged it in nothing seemed to happen so I unplugged it again. It looked very old and rusty so I think it was just broken. The bathroom looks very old fashioned and the shower is in the bath. In terms of service, the room was cleaned every day and to a good standard. I also seemed to have been upgraded as I booked a room with no view and got a room with a window and a good view. So really the only complaint was the few ants, and there weren't that many, so I put that down to bad luck.

Was kind of lost to locate the hotel and the sky turns dark too early during winter time. Upon alighting at Luo Dong and checked with people around, mention to just bypass Luo Dong station, straight and turn right, however was stucked took a cab there. Prior to arrival, staff check in on my arrival timing too. Upon reaching, staff was really nice and welcoming. Luo Dong night market us just minutes away and there washing / drying services provided across the road. Very convenient if you plan not to pack much!

The room was very clean and spacious, and the location was incredibly convenient! It's just a 2-minute walk from Luodong Station exit and a 10-minute walk to Luodong Night Market. The front desk staff were very friendly; even though it's self check-in, they were there to help, and the process was handled quickly. I would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable, excellent value for money. It's also close to the train station and various attractions, and there's a famous cake shop right downstairs. Super convenient transportation, thoughtful facilities, and a seamless check-in process! The hot spring water was just right, and after a soak, lying on the soft bed, I felt completely relaxed and all my worries melted away!

Right by the entrance, there's a shoe-changing area. To the right, there's a super spacious bathroom with a huge bathtub. It doesn't have a separate shower and bath, but it's still really nice. Further in, there's a small living room, and next to it, a slide that's fun for both adults and kids. The slide goes down into a ball pit, and there are storybooks too. Even further inside, there are two large beds and a TV. There's also a balcony at the back. It's fantastic!

The night view from the Extreme Orchid View Room was excellent. The room itself was spacious, and it even had a swing and a comfortable tea-making area. There's also a bathtub for a relaxing soak, and the outdoor activities at night were abundant! The entire room had a faint cypress wood scent, making for a very comfortable stay!

There is breakfast, afternoon tea, and supper at 8pm. I think at this price, it is really good to have something to eat and a hot spring bath. The attitude of the service staff is pretty good.

The transportation is very convenient. You can take the bus to Jiaoxi Transfer Station and walk for 7 minutes. Room size is medium to medium distance I'm a bit of a germaphobe, but this is one of the few hot spring hotels that makes me feel at ease. The rooms are clean and the bathtub is also very clean. Although slippers are provided, it is recommended to bring your own. Next comes the hot springs. The water is very warm and has a faint smell of sodium bicarbonate spring water. It is a genuine hot spring. Anyway, highly recommended!
