Spa hotels in Yilan

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 in-room bath was incredible, and the walk to and from the hotel was lovely! The bath in the room was so spacious and comfortable; I could really relax and soak away the fatigue from my travels. It's a bit of a walk from the bustling downtown area, but it's a pleasant distance for a leisurely stroll, which I really enjoyed. I also appreciated how quiet it was, away from all the noise. I definitely want to stay here again!

We are frequent guests of Chung-kuan, especially after the Spring Hill Resort Chuan-tang Deyang branch closed. Chung-kuan has always been our top choice for accommodation and hot springs. They say there's no harm in comparison, so I'd like to offer some sincere advice to Chung-kuan. The weather has been extremely hot recently, and on the night we checked in, the indoor pool was closed. The outdoor pool was a scorching 39 degrees Celsius, and we nearly fainted from dehydration after less than 30 minutes. There were also many plant seeds in the pool, and every time we stepped on one, it gave us a fright. The next day, the indoor pool was open, but every child was playing with water guns, shooting everywhere. During one soak, we were hit by water guns no less than 10 times. Previously, at Spring Hill Chuan-tang, lifeguards would constantly patrol and strictly prohibit children from playing with water guns and balls in the hot spring area, only allowing them in the children's play area, ensuring the quality of the guests' hot spring experience. However, the lifeguards at Chung-kuan seem to be just for show. We only saw one once during a two-hour soak, and they quickly passed through and were never seen again. This made us feel that the quality of our hot spring experience this time was terrible. They say 'the one who complains about the goods is the one who buys them.' We hope that Chung-kuan's hot spring quality can be improved to ensure its long-term sustainable operation.

This was my first time taking the train from Hualien to Jiaoxi Station. As soon as I exited the station, I walked straight and then turned right, and there were so many hot spring hotels and inns of all sizes. There were also stir-fry restaurants, izakayas, and even a night market street where I bought 5 different local fruits – they were absolutely delicious. Kavalan Onsen has many branches, and we booked a deluxe quad room. The hot spring tub in the room was also a quad tub, super spacious! Soaking in the hot springs was truly stress-relieving and helped me sleep well at night. The hotel also has a small fish spa pool for your feet, which felt like acupuncture – it was fun! The squid for breakfast was tasty too.

This hotel has brought our whole experience up a next level & setting high benchmarks for our other & future hotel experience! Room, spacious family room..thou layout a bit weird toilet one end. Bath and shower the other end. Hotsprings was a good soak daily! Rem swim caps. N the games room was amazing! Kids & even adults had so much fun. Theres even DIY activity (paid) for children! There daily afternoon tea(simple but has wine) & daily supper provided. Supper was a feast! Also like late dinner. N as for afternoon tea, we only enjoy it on 1st day of check in as remaining days we were always out. Breakfast was a wide variety too. Ample self parking space & walkable to the night market streets! Highly recommend this hotel stay.

The breakfast selection is limited with little changes. Breakfast is at Art Spa Hotel instead of Resort One Hotel but front desk staff fails to bring us over when we ask for directions, thus it was a bit disappointing. The location of the hotel was great as it was a short 3 mins walk from Jiaoxi train station and a 15 mins walk from Jiaoxi Bus transfer station. Cleanliness of the room was good and the housekeeping staff were more friendly than front desk staff.

The breakfast was delicious, and the lobby lounge area was comfortable with complimentary cookies and coffee. The courtyard and splash pad were great for kids. However, the facilities are a bit dated. The SPA area was rudimentary and just barely functional. The upstairs bed in our family loft room was uncomfortable. The entryway light in our room flickered when turned off, so we couldn't switch it off completely. We only noticed after our child fell asleep, so we couldn't ask the front desk to fix it. The parking lot was unpaved dirt with no clearly marked spaces (or very unclear ones). Hotel guests and wedding attendees parked haphazardly. It was dim at night, muddy, and had many puddles when it rained.
