Yilan Spa Hotels

Our stay was absolutely wonderful—truly beyond expectations! Every little detail kept surprising us in the best way. The level of care and thoughtfulness throughout the hotel really stood out. The room amenities were exceptional, from the Dyson hair dryer to the luxurious L’Occitane products throughout. They even provided a cute little bag for us to take everything home, which was such a thoughtful touch! What made the experience even more special was the incredible team. Every staff member, from reception to the cleaning team and activity hosts, was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel so welcome and well taken care of. There were also countless activities for children, which made it perfect for families, while still offering great options for parents to relax and enjoy themselves too. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would happily return again!

This is an absolutely fantastic hotel! 1. **Location**: It's incredibly accessible, just a 5-minute walk from Jiaoxi Bus Terminal. Even in the scorching heat of late July, we could quickly get there with our luggage. 2. **Customer Service**: During check-in, there was a staff member who spoke Korean, which made the process incredibly smooth. She proactively provided information I might need and explained the hotel's various services in Korean. I really appreciate her kind assistance. 3. **Room**: The room was very spacious and perfectly adequate for two people. The beautiful mountain view from the back was a delight, and the in-room hot spring tub was huge. The only minor drawback was the slightly firm bed, but aside from that, the complimentary minibar drinks and snacks, along with the immaculate cleanliness, were excellent. 4. **Hot Spring**: Beyond words, it was superb. The separate changing rooms for men and women were cool, and with about 10 individual showers, showering was comfortable and pleasant. After showering, entering the hot spring area, there were various pools ranging from 35°C to 42°C. There was even a unique doctor fish pool, which was a fun experience. Both steam and dry saunas were available, offering a great way to detox. 5. **Swimming Pool**: The large outdoor pool had separate lanes for swimming and recreational use, as well as a shallow pool for children. 6. **Breakfast**: This was the highlight of the hotel. There are hardly any reviews for this hotel on Korean blogs, and even fewer detailed reviews about the breakfast, so I didn't have high expectations. However, the breakfast, which was managed by time slots to ensure a moderate number of diners, was the best I've ever experienced at any hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh salads, diverse seafood, hot dishes, yogurt, ice cream, and bakery items – I was so full! My only regret was that I couldn't eat more in the morning. The staff were also incredibly friendly. When I first booked, I thought the price was a bit high, but for this price, the facilities and service are exceptional. If I visit Taiwan again, I would definitely want to stay here again. I highly recommend this excellent hotel to everyone!

The guesthouse I stayed at this time was in Toucheng, Yilan, very close to the Toucheng Interchange, called Craftsman's Little Wooden House. I felt it was a very tasteful place. The little wooden house definitely gave me a relaxing feeling. Upon entering, the high ceilings and stairs leading to the upper bunk made the room feel more like a three-dimensional geometric space than a flat map. If I had to point out a drawback, it would be the lack of chairs. There was only one for a vanity table, and the rest were outdoor chairs on the back balcony. The interior was mostly cushioned on the floor, in a Japanese style, but for someone like me with osteoporosis, standing up and squatting down was incredibly difficult, haha. But I can't blame the owner; it's just my personal problem. Overall, however, it was comfortable. Breakfast was simple, served in the common area on the first floor: simple toast, congee, and a few side dishes. It was quite satisfying, and I felt warmly cared for. This room type appears to accommodate up to eight people. There are two double beds on the lower bunk and two people sleeping on each side of the upper bunk, so it can comfortably fit eight people, making it quite suitable for family trips. It's very close to Jiaoxi at night, so you can go for a hot spring bath, find some food, or even call a panda (a local restaurant). Living comfortably is no problem.

Overall, it was a good stay and I'd definitely stay there again. The lobby was grand, the family rooms were spacious, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the beds were just the right firmness for a good night's sleep! Cons: The elevator was incredibly difficult to wait for when checking out. All three elevators were packed, and the wait was long. The emergency exit only goes to B1, so if you park your car in B2, you still have to find a way to get to B2 by hopping on an elevator from another floor! My kids loved it. There's a pool with hot springs, a ball pool, a PS5, a racing track for little Bubu cars, and a variety of other children's play facilities! It's definitely on my bucket list for future trips with kids!

The environment and facilities are well-maintained. The pool even provides inner tubes and floating mats, which made the kids really happy. There are also many restaurants within walking distance, so the amenities nearby are quite good. Breakfast is served as a set meal, so you don't have to queue or keep getting up. After you finish, you can even choose another set meal, so you won't have to worry about not getting enough to eat.

As someone who loves hot springs, whenever I have a day off, I search for great hot springs ♨️ and nearby delicious food and fun places to unwind from work stress. I've been to all the hot springs in Yangmingshan, so a friend recommended Jiaoxi in Yilan. That's why for my last two trips, I chose to stay at the Grandma Hot Spring Hotel in Jiaoxi. This stay was excellent, with superb environmental hygiene 👍, and you can even cook food in the hot spring water. The most amazing thing was the fish spa pond at the hotel – a fantastic first-time experience! I'll definitely be back. This hot spring hotel ♨️ is highly recommended.

+ The front desk staff were friendly and polite. + The room was spacious, almost double the size of a typical hotel room. + The bed and pillows were comfortable for a good night's sleep. + The air conditioning was already on when we entered the room, which was a nice touch and made a good impression. + There's a water dispenser on every floor providing hot and cold water, which is quite convenient. + The bathtub was huge, and the hot spring water flow was strong. + There's a spa and sauna, but we didn't have time to use them. @ The parking lot is quite a distance away. The hotel advises checking in and dropping off luggage first before parking, which is inconvenient on hot or rainy days. @ The bathroom floor is very slippery; elderly guests should be especially careful and wear slippers when walking around. @ The room's light switches are all concentrated by the bed, and there's no switch near the bathroom door, which is inconvenient when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. @ Breakfast was decent but nothing spectacular.

The part-timer (I assume) in the lounge was completely unenthusiastic, which really soured my experience. I just asked how to operate the dance machine, and it took me almost 10 minutes to figure it out? They clearly could have actively helped us, but instead chose to watch us struggle. However, the owner was great, the front desk was excellent, and the staff at the hot springs were also very enthusiastic and helpful.

My stay at the Four Points by Sheraton Jiaoxi in Yilan was truly enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located near the famous hot springs, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. The property has a modern yet welcoming atmosphere, with spacious rooms that feature comfortable beds and large windows offering beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. One of the highlights was the hot spring facilities—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The staff were courteous and helpful, always attentive to guests’ needs. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection of both ********* and international dishes. Overall, this hotel combines comfort, great service, and the unique charm of Jiaoxi’s hot springs, making it a wonderful choice for both leisure and family trips.

The location is close to the train station and Zhongshan Road, making dining very convenient. You can also use the hot spring facilities at Zhongguan Hotel. The only downside is that the rooms are rather old!
