    guest laundry would have been nice. It also wasn't apparent when we booked that our room was in the Japanese building. We were travelling with friends whose rooms had been allocated in the other building and it was a bit of a nuisance that we were not in the same building. Maybe the hotel could consider giving guests a walking map of places to visit in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.

    Nice location. Breakfast buffet was great. Spa on the balcony was great

    It was a pity that the weather was bad as it rained so much and was so foggy, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery around. As such, we couldn't enjoy the outdoor hot spring.

    Indoor hot spring was clean and as it was crowded we enjoyed much privacy

    It’s probably because we went in the off-peak season, but aside from the actual hot springs there is not too much to do at the resort, especially not when traveling as a family. This was currently solved as hoc by the staff organizing a tour to the source of the hot springs and showing us the town nearby. These activities were greatly appreciated, but are not offered as ‘standard’. The place has huge potential, especially as an addition to any trip to Taipei.

    The staff is what makes the place! As we did not come to the resort with our own transportation, the secluded location significantly limited the activities that we could do. The staff went above and beyond to suggest and facilitate activities.

    1. The room's central heating needs to enhancement. 2. I suggest that you should buy some food to eat when you return to the resort in the evening,

    1. The clerks are nice and willing to answer any questions. 2. There are several hot spring areas at the resort. 3. The parking space and breakfast are great. 4. I like a room with a view and a hot spring.

    I was a little far as it is on the other side of Yang Ming Shan, so we need to book transportation to get there and out.

    We love that there is a hotspring bathtub in our room. We had a very good time just chilling and having our baths in the room with the sulphur spring water. We also like the buffet dinner, they gave good portion of seafood and many things to eat. Best is the free flow of beer.

    Limited F&B options and the remote location of the hotel does not help. Need to either wait for the public bus to arrive according to bus schedule or you need to spend money to hire a cab to travel around.

    Buffet breakfast was excellent with a good variety of food. Buffet dinner was also above average even though this is the only F&B option available in the entire hotel premise. Previously there was a Khan restaurant but that has closed and replaced by a cafe offering snacks and Starbucks drinks. Outdoor hot spring facilities are still available but can see the aging signs.

    Great hot spring hotel with view of the mountains
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Japanese-Style Quadruple Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The location is a bit remote so there aren't a lot of food options that are close by. It also would have been great to have more indoor hot spring options available; in cold / rainy December, we mostly used our in-room hot spring since it was so cold outside, and there is only one public hot spring option that is indoors.

    The in-room hot spring was a highlight—a truly relaxing and unique experience! Highly recommend that you get a room with this option. We loved the balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains. We also thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and the hot pot dinner. Of note, there weren't other dinner options besides hot pot (so while it was great for our two-night stay, it may not be enough variety for those planning on a longer stay).

    Location was secluded and nothing much around. Weather was cold and swimming pool was not heated so nobody uses it.

    Delightful hot springs pools. They have leisure facilities such as basketball, table tennis, billards, Nintendo. Mountain air was great. Hotpot dinner was nice too in the cold weather.

    Hotel with excellent spa and hot spring facilities, with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet has lots of options, both Western and Asian. The large room had two big king size beds, an in-room onsen and a free minibar. All great. The hotel is close by great hiking paths and has a very reasonably priced shuttle/taxi service to anywhere in Yangminshan.

    The restaurant on site (separate from the breakfast buffet) was decent but I expected more given that there aren’t many other restaurants around and the price was pretty high

    Huge variety of food for the breakfast buffet. The private outdoor hot spring in our room was incredible and clean. Everything was so clean. Had comfortable beds. Loved how secluded the location was

    The main area of the hotel is clearly quite outdated and could do with a refurb. Loads of the hotel restaurants were shut, so we had to go elsewhere, and there wasn't anything in walking distance, and not much within a drive either! The 11am check out feels particularly stingy here for the price.

    Absolutely incredible spa with breathtaking views over gorgeous mountains. Our room was spacious, comfy and had a beautiful hot spring bath. The spa facilties were excellent with a variety of open, secluded and indoor spaces. Just hope you're OK with the eggy sulphur smell! The breakfast was really nice, served in a spacious room, with plenty of Eastern and Western options.

    The staff did not really tell us in detail what’s available for hotel guest. We have to figure out ourselves. The transport could be more well explained like a written note how the public bus work instead of having us ask and they may not be patient to answer how the transport work. Where to wait , have to flag and ask about the direction.

    The facilities is good

    Having traveled in many countries extensively, we felt this hotels daily rate was very expensive. One night for nearly NT12.OOO seems so overpriced. In general, it is cheaper for us to fly out of Taiwan to go to hotels in other Asian countries, including airfare, than remaining here. This is sad as we are living in Taiwan.

    The room was spacious and loved the two enormous and comfortable beds. Breakfast was enjoyable, and there was plenty for Western taste buds. The staff were lovely, very friendly, and tried hard to speak English to us. Towels were a good size and bathroom was clean.
