    One of our family’s favorite hotels ever. Clean clean clean and spacious. Perfect location in the city center. Luxurious, well-appointed rooms using the state of the art tech. Delicious breakfast buffet with local delicacies. Rooftop mixed-gender onsen has multiple tubs, sauna and steam room. We enjoyed the fish spa and my kids spent hours there. Kind, courteous staff.

    I was happy with everything, no complaints.

    Breakfast had lots of options for adults and kids. Obviously the spread includes many local favorites (noodles/ rice/ congee), as well as continental favorites such as toasts/ cereal/ eggs. It was a hearty meal which set us up for our day's travel.

    I've switched on the DND button but received knocking on the door in the morning asking if I require room cleaning service.

    Location - Puyoma express train from Taipei main station takes 1hr 15mins to reach Jiaoxi station. Hotel is slightly further as expected (about 8mins for me) - need to walk straight ahead and turn left (see 7-11 store) on 2nd traffic light, continue walk straight ahead u see Starbucks, hotel is next to it. Alot of eateries around hotel. Unisex hot spring jacuzzi pool, steam room and sauna room available at rooftop - nice!

    Not near a night market but that was ok for us.

    My travel mate has very high standards and this hotel blew her mind. Bring your swim suit for the hotel's hot spring, there's also a hot spring within the room. Level 2 is an amazing communal space where there is Dr Fish, even a few old mountain tortoises and there is an open library.. It is actually a lovely hotel for the kids too. Location is great , 6 mins walk to Jiaoxi hot spring (nude) park , eateries , pharmacy and convenience store just downstairs. Also next to a famous local bakery, with Starbucks below too . Room provided disposable toiletries. AC in room was adjustable . Sheets and bed were awesome. Room was quiet . Breakfast was amazing.

    There is only on lift in the hotel for all guests, sometimes, there was a little waiting for the lift.

    Everything is perfect to meet our travel needs, and the breakfast was awesome. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The room has got everything that we expected. The hot spring bath in the room just gave us a relaxing time in private. The Starbucks and the bakery on the ground floor were convenient for a tea time, the bread and cookies were very nice and yummy in the bakery.

    Breakfast had big selection, but unfortunately the quality of each item is not that great. Maybe I happened to have just stayed at kindness hotel in Tai Tung where every item tasted really good, so felt a little let down by the breakfast here. The tea eggs barely had any flavour, the soup for the noodles were watered down and tasteless ... a bit disappointed.

    The family room for 4 was huge with a huge smart TV and a smaller TV at the lounge area of the room. Bathroom was also huge with smart toilet. Everything was new and clean, with plenty of space for luggage. Location was great, near to the famous bakery shop and souvenier shops.
