Yilan Hot Springs Hotels

This hotel, Yamagata Kaku, boasts an excellent location, very close to the train station, making it super convenient whether you're traveling by public transport or driving. Parking was also a breeze. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, making you feel relaxed the moment you step in. The on-site hot spring facilities are top-notch; soaking there was incredibly therapeutic and completely washed away my travel fatigue. The yukata provided was soft and comfortable to wear, showing great attention to detail. A nice bonus was being able to take the slippers home, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, I had a very satisfying stay and would definitely consider returning to this excellent hotel.

The location was very peaceful and not too far from the Main Street of Jiaoxi. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and there was a very nice live music performance in the evening. The pool area was nice, and the hot spring private areas were sufficient. The breakfast and dinner buffet I would say is one of the best in Jiaoxi in terms of the Spa hotels and the rooms were well sound insulated. We would definitely come again and my infant certainly enjoyed it. One of the more expensive hot spring hotels in Jiaoxi but if you want a quiet and peaceful few days with activities, good food and with easy access to the mountains for a nice walk I would recommend this place. Minor criticism for the rooms I would say is the cleanliness. There were slight dust in places and because there is carpet, and if you’re prone to dust allergy be prepared. Saying that if they have a room without carpet that would be perfect, but nonetheless, we would definitely come again.

From the moment I took the shuttle from the train station to checking in at the lobby, I could feel the genuine warmth of the staff's welcome. Both the room and the common areas were satisfyingly clean. The Japanese-style family room featured tatami mats with futons laid out according to the number of guests. The room also had a large private hot spring tub, though the drainage in the shower area was a bit slow. The hotel has plenty of facilities. The 3rd floor is mainly for children's play, and the fitness room is also here, but the equipment is limited and a bit dated. The 5th floor features an outdoor swimming pool, spa, and indoor hot spring area with many different pools (each with unique scents and benefits). There are two steam rooms and two saunas, separated for men and women, and the space is not only spacious but also well-ventilated (not enclosed). The top floor houses the open-air 'naked' onsen, which has a serene atmosphere. Breakfast offered a wide variety, including many local specialties like cherry duck, gaozha (fried starch cake), duck gizzard, Sanxing scallion pancakes, and even white shrimp, small scallops, Haagen-Dazs ice cream, and Starbucks coffee (you can take a cup to go after your meal). The food was delicious. I will definitely visit again.

Awesome hot spring hotel with spectacular view at rooftop pool, movie night and hot spring. Breakfast buffet and spacious room and in room amenities. Highly recommended and definitely will stay there again. Dinner at hotel restaurant because it’s raining, tasty and great service but feel a bit rush with 100 minutes time limit.

1. The hotel is new, the surroundings are quiet, and parking is convenient. 2. The room is clean with excellent natural light, and you can see Guishan Island in the distance from the balcony. 3. They offer a thoughtful snack service, so you don't have to worry about getting hungry late at night. 4. The breakfast selection is diverse and plentiful. 5. I would definitely come back again; it was a great stay.

Close to Jiaoxi train station and there are many restaurants nearby. The room was clean, the fridge was especially cold, and the service was excellent. The bed was very comfortable. We were celebrating a birthday, but it takes about 3-5 minutes to walk to buy anything.

My friend and I just wanted to relax at the hotel, eat, drink, and chat in the hot weather. The stay included afternoon tea, late-night snacks, and breakfast, which was perfect for eating, drinking, and chatting! We especially loved soaking in the hot spring spa, chatting, and enjoying the view after the sun went down! (Photos changed to chibi style)

Stayed in a Deluxe Double room. Check in was easy and the location is close to the train station, about a 7-min walk. The bed was really comfortable, not too soft as a few reviews suggested. The tub was clean and spacious for two, and the hot spring was super relaxing. There was noise from the next room but the front desk immediately sorted it out. Checked out by 12, so plenty of time. Highly recommended. 👍

There were too few water dispensers, only two in the entire hotel. The carpets outside the rooms and in the basement were very dusty, and there was a noticeable smell of dust. However, with the air conditioning inside the room, it was tolerable. But upon exiting the elevator, there was a strong smell of smoke, possibly from tour bus drivers smoking outside, which then drifted into the lobby, and the smell was quite strong. The room had two bathtubs and a night view, which was quite nice. Breakfast was also good, and the staff were very polite and friendly.

First of all, this is a very old hotel that has seen truly better days. While maintained well, it has retained it's original furnishings and decor from the 1980s and 1990s. Staying here reminded me of my childhood travelling with my family in the 80s. The actual room does not look anything like the ones shown on the website. The hard floors mean you should wear their slippers or bring your own room slippers. The hot spring water advertised is just hot spring water pipes that go into your bathtub. There is a step that emulates hot spa step in the bathtub. The breakfast was good with nice braised meat and eggs that you can put over your rice or porridge. There's also hot soy milk. But no hot tea, only coffee. The staff look tired but hard working. There was a grumpy older lady receiptionist when we checked in and she was pretty rough in the check in process. E.g. ”if you don't put a number here, and you leave things in the hotel, we'll just throw them away! Just to tell you first.” Room was quite small or cosy, depending on your perspective. The only thing new was the air-conditioner. The TV set had all the settings for channels but none worked. Internet wifi was not quite working too.
