Orient Luxury Hotel-Jiao Xi

A great vacation experience. The hot pot buffet was excellent, no need to go out for food in the evening.

The facilities and breakfast were absolutely superb! But what truly stood out was the incredible service from the staff – always smiling, incredibly kind, and patient.

The environment here is fantastic! The sounds of nature, like insects chirping and birds singing, make it a perfect spot for a relaxing weekend getaway. Plus, it's super convenient with a night market nearby and the transit station within easy reach. Getting around is a breeze and the whole vibe is just comfortable and relaxed. Oh, and breakfast goes until 2 PM, which is great for a leisurely, unhurried meal.

The bustling downtown and market are just a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. Nearly all the staff were incredibly friendly and professional in answering our questions. This trip marked our seven-month anniversary, and it added so many wonderful memories as we head towards our eighth month together. Upon check-in, the hotel learned we were celebrating our anniversary and thoughtfully upgraded us to a mountain-view room. The in-room welcome drinks were incredibly generous, featuring mini beers, plum wine, coke, and Pocari Sweat – essential for rehydration after a soak; they even included face masks to pamper us while we enjoyed the in-room hot spring bath. All the room's fixtures and fittings were new and high-quality: a Toto washlet, a Panasonic 1400 nanoe hairdryer, a thoughtful wooden gua sha massage comb, and hyaluronic acid-infused shower gel that left skin feeling smooth and soft. What truly amazed me were the double-layered automatic curtains (even in the room's private hot spring area!). The double room's bathtub was spacious enough for up to four people – a very comfortable size. In the afternoon, the lobby offered preserved fruits and freshly brewed tea, perfect for a relaxing break after a dip in the outdoor public hot spring. After dinner, they provided handmade kumquat-flavored tofu pudding, and it was unlimited – so generous! (There's a lovely staff member in the lobby, Tina, who's a treasure trove of recommendations for local food and sights; don't hesitate to ask her for her secret list of must-try places!) Last but not least, I highly recommend trying the hotel's breakfast, especially the freshly blanched beef soup. Even my boyfriend, who grew up in Tainan, the home of beef soup, couldn't stop raving about it. *If you're planning a weekday visit like we did and want to try some local famous eateries, be sure to check their opening hours in advance. Many popular spots are only open from Friday to Sunday or during specific hours, like mornings until 2 PM. (Luckily, you can find a lot of food on Uber Eats!) Heartily recommend!

My first experience was pretty good. Even though the lobby isn't very big, the reception staff were friendly and gave a detailed introduction. However, regarding the welcome drinks and snacks, I found it was just tea and candied plums. I'd suggest offering Americano coffee (it's low cost) because if you have to pay for coffee, it's quite expensive and there aren't many other options. It would be great if there were more brunch seating, but it's fantastic that you can enjoy it until noon.

The breakfast spread was fantastic, and the service was excellent. The hotel's design is simple yet elegant, and the rooms are well-equipped. They even provide a wooden massage stick, which is a really thoughtful touch. This is definitely a hotel I'd return to.

The breakfast was plentiful, and the beef soup was absolutely delicious.

Had a fantastic stay! The room was super comfortable, and the restaurant service was excellent. Plus, the accommodation came with a voucher for the rooftop bar, and the cocktails were delicious.
