Yilan Mountain view Hotels

The host Chris made us felt very welcomed with his selfless travel tips, scrumptious breakfasts, handwritten messages and exquisitely furnished accommodation. He even went the extra mile to review our itinerary for a better route or arrangement! He's highly responsive to our questions when we were outside, including helping us to arrange rides. There are also intimate small devices in the homestay, such as hot water in the room, and help to send postcards!

You can park at the door, the overall environment is comfortable and clean, the boss and the proprietress are very kind, there are welcome afternoon teas and unlimited bottled drinks 👍 The location of the homestay is also very close to the Dongshan Night Market, quiet and not noisy at night. The small disadvantage is that the curtains in the room are not shaded, they will be awakened in the morning, and the mirror only has a sink. It is a bit inconvenient to make up when the lighting is insufficient. Others really don't have to be picky 👍👍

The owner's dedication is evident in every corner, and the scenery is stunning. My parents loved it too! It's not far from Fushan Botanical Garden and only a ten-minute drive from downtown Yilan. It's very convenient and I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit.

The location is fantastic, quiet, and surrounded by a variety of restaurants. The guesthouse boasts a clean courtyard with birdsong and fragrant flowers, where you can walk barefoot on the grass. The vegetable garden offers a wide variety of fruit trees. The indoor lobby is bright and features a rich selection of rare and exotic fruits. The rooms are spacious with clean floors and bright windows. The small balcony in the room is perfect for small gatherings. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet and is of a suitable size. Breakfast uses local and homegrown ingredients, and the delicious breakfast dishes highlight the owner's dedication. Upon check-out, you'll receive a natural cypress sachet, leaving a pleasant fragrance on your return journey.

Yu Peng Villa was our first and BEST accommodation on this Yilan-Taroko-SML-Alishan road trip. We arrived much later than expected and were relieved that our message to Trip.com got through to the guesthouse. When we drove up to the place (an easy find with GPS), a member of the staff walked up to our car and guided us to the drop off point. I love the designer vibes of the property which is well maintained with a sizeable garden and plenty of flowers in bloom. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The showers worked and there was hot water. The western-style breakfast was generous in portion and delicious. Best of all was the hospitality extended to us. It was the only place where we felt truly welcomed on this 8-day trip. The staff here chatted with us, gave advice on places of interest and sent us off with fruit from the orchard. After the great experience here, all the other places we stayed at pale drastically in comparison. If you're planning to visit the Kavalan Distillery, this place is a great stayover option! Truly a slice of paradise.

This time, I chose the Lanyang Wushih Harbor Sea View Hotel, which offers a more upscale experience. It’s a boutique hotel, small but exquisitely charming. The staff were friendly and warm, making us feel right at home with their welcoming reception and guidance. The reservations team thoughtfully arranged for our family to be on the same floor (we booked two double rooms, which are usually on different floors), which was a delightful and considerate surprise. This made it much easier for us to look after other family members traveling with us. For our elderly relatives' room, they even kindly provided a shower chair, ensuring they could enjoy a comfortable and safe shower. However, regarding breakfast, while there was a wide variety, a slight drawback was the lack of freshly prepared, custom-made dishes. There wasn't even a chef to make omelets or fried eggs. For a four-star hotel, this aspect of the dining was a bit disappointing, and I offer this as feedback for the restaurant. Overall though, we had a very pleasant stay! 😘

The Mu'en International (old building) feels a bit dated compared to the adjacent Mu'en Far Eastern (new building), which is noticeable in the in-room hot spring tub and shower facilities. However, the rooms in the old building are more spacious than those in the new one. Both buildings share the same breakfast area and parking lot. This time, I stayed in a 4-person room in the old building. The room was large, and so was the hot tub. Just a heads up, the slippers provided in the room aren't disposable, so if that bothers you, it's more convenient to bring your own.

This hotel is the hotel we stayed in for the second part of our first trip to Yilan. The overall facilities of the hotel are quite good, so that guests can experience many activities. The layout of the rooms is also very comfortable. The environment and scenery are refreshing! 

The villa was on very nice grounds and surrounding area is very quiet which is perfect. The pictures online look much better than in person so was a little disappointed. The private room garden needs to be up kept a little more. Didn’t realise the bathroom is technically in the room itself so was a little surprised. However the front desk staff were very friendly and it came with a free afternoon tea and breakfast for two people. Very nice touch if you come early.

Happy to have had the hotel save me from cycling another 2 hours through the dark. Easy to find, many rooms available. Nice receipt from the owner and happy they had cloths washing and drying fascilities. Stored my bicycle in the room which wasn’t appreciated by the owner as he was worried for making his bed sheets dirty. As he couldn’t reach out to me he switched off the A/C. That’s a complete no-go and totally against any hospitality rules. I stay 209+ days a year in hotels and never ever have I had such a treatment. Anyways, was dissolved quickly but hope the owner can change his attitude to other travellers. Apart from that the bed is hard and the A/C works good. Loads of blouse form the neighbour on the next morning.
