Yilan hotels & accommodations
The family room is very spacious, comfortable to sleep in. I like the hot tub and sauna room. The location is good, close to restaurants and convenience stores, about 550 meters from the train station. Convenient to travel. The staff provide good service. Highly recommend!
A very pleasant experience staying at pokara with our 3 children. The room was spacious and nicely designed, it had great views of the rice fields next door. There is a good spread for breakfast and afternoon tea. The staff are polite and friendly. The hotel is a short 7 mins drive to the town of jiao xi, easily accessible by car. It was very quiet and peaceful at nig...

The room is comfortable and cozy, clean and tidy, with wooden floors. The pillows and mattress are very comfortable, and the room has both a hot spring bath and a cold spring bath, with a distant view of the sea. The front desk, housekeeping, and restaurant staff are professional and friendly. Breakfast at Chaoting Court is served until 13:00, allowing guests to enjoy ...
Pricey but they give you a lot of freebies, and has all L'occitane stuff around the room for guest to use. Kids LOVED the place of course. Great staff and awesome buffet breakfast
I was able to stay at a good hotel at a price that wasn't too expensive. The room was upgraded, so it was spacious and comfortable. The entire hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. The rooftop pool and hot springs were not crowded, which was nice, and they had changing rooms, lockers, and shower facilities, making it convenient. The breakfast was average, and th...
I chose a plan that includes dinner and breakfast, and the buffet was very substantial and wonderful! If I were to be greedy, since we are in Yilan, I thought it would be even better if there was a service that makes scallion pancakes for breakfast. There are games, a playroom, and of course, a hot spring! It's a hotel that satisfies both children and adults! I woul...
I highly recommend this place for family travelers with parents. You can take a bus from Taipei Station, and it's easily accessible within a 5-minute walk from the Jiaoxi Bus Terminal, making transportation very convenient. The rooms are spacious, and the view from the window shows beautiful mountains. The highlight is definitely the hot spring water. There is a hot sp...
The breakfast was simple but had everything you could need, and it was nice that there was always tea ready in the lobby. The bathtub was spacious enough for two adults and a baby, and the cleanliness was good. There were many izakayas nearby open late, as well as restaurants suitable for bringing a baby, which was convenient. My husband, who is 186cm tall, found the c...
The environment is nice, the place is clean, and there is a large bathtub in the room where you can soak in hot springs, which is said to be sourced from natural hot spring water. It is very private, and there's no need to go out and soak with strangers. Although the breakfast is not too elaborate, the main dishes are very delicate, made fresh upon order. The bread, ca...
There were pools, hot springs, and various activities, and everyone, including the children, had a great time. The buffet had a variety of options and was delicious. We spent two nights and three days at the hotel and were able to refresh ourselves. The facilities were kept clean, which was great. Also, it was thoughtful of them to call staff who understood Japanese wh...
The price-to-value ratio is very high, and it is close to Luodong Night Market. There are many beverage shops and restaurants nearby. The rooms are super spacious and very clean. Having a parking lot is really convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly and personable, especially the breakfast with many freshly cooked dishes, which is highly recommended. In the futur...
About a 10-15 minute walk from Jiaoxi Hot Spring Station, the hotel is located near Yuyukou Hot Spring Park, and there is a Seven-Eleven across the street. The hotel consists of the International Building and the Far East Building, which are adjacent to each other, with the reception and breakfast area located in the Far East Building. The International Building, where...
The lobby here is decorated with various Legos and a large teddy bear, making it very cute. The staff are all very friendly, and even though they don't speak English well, they actively communicate without any issues using translation apps. The accommodation was clean, and the spacious bathtub was more than enough to enjoy the hot springs. However, only one large towel...
The breakfast and coffee shop are not in operation, but the rooms are clean and well-equipped. You can enjoy a view of the mountains from the hot spring bath in the mountain view room! The front desk is open from 10:30 to 19:00, and you need to walk to the station for breakfast, but if you don't mind that, it is highly recommended for its incredibly low price consideri...
The surrounding natural environment is very beautiful and suitable for fitness enthusiasts who enjoy jogging. There are plenty of parking spaces. If you're not driving, although it's more than 3 kilometers from the city center, taking a taxi is very convenient and costs around 180 TWD. The breakfast quality is high, and it surprisingly lasts until noon at 1 PM. Every n...
We just came back from a one-night getaway, and it was wonderful! The in-room hot spring was relaxing and very enjoyable. The kids also loved the playroom — it was clean, fun, and thoughtfully designed. We especially enjoyed the afternoon treats — the douhua (tofu pudding) and mung bean dessert were delicious! The nearby restaurant and the weekend market added even mo...
The room is super nice and comfortable. Onsen in the bathroom is fantastic.
good
I think this hotel is great for relaxing in the hot springs in this area. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I can't speak Chinese, but I was able to communicate in English or broken Japanese. The indoor and outdoor pools on the first floor (some of which are heated) were very pleasant, with jacuzzis, jet baths, and saunas. The hot spring on the 12th floor h...
Living in a room with two queen beds is amazing. The room has a hot spring bath, and the layout is very smooth. It's rare to have two luggage platforms. The building is modern, and the location outside the room is very quiet. It's a five-minute walk to the Jiaoxi Night Market, with underground parking available. The breakfast is delicious, with clear labeling for veget...
The front desk kindly explained that public activities like fishing and cycling are interesting. Although the hotel has a bit of a historical feel, you can tell that the building materials used were of high quality. The environment is well cared for, and the breakfast provided is quite good. The rooms have hot spring water and bathtubs, and there are cookies and coffee...
I love this hotel, and I always stay here when I come to Jiaoxi. The rooms are cute, quiet, and the scenery is wonderful with lots of greenery. The hot springs are at the perfect temperature, and the baths are spacious and very relaxing. The staff is friendly, kind, and has a wonderful smile. It feels like coming home. I will definitely use it again next time!
It is a 7-10 minute walk from Luodong Station. There are convenience stores like Seven-Eleven nearby, making it a convenient location. The night market is also about 3 minutes away. It is a hotel renovated from an old building, but there are no particular inconveniences. It will be a good base for exploring the Yiling area. It is sufficient for sleeping and taking a sh...
The bus terminal is about 900 meters away, but it was very nice that the train station is close by. The famous bakery Ishunshyen is right in front, so it’s possible to buy when there is no queue at closing time. The annex only used 110v, and it was a bit disappointing since there was no prior notice, but the staff lent me a transformer. It's hard to say it's extremely ...
Just 1 minute from the station; the bus terminal is on the other side of the station, so it takes about 5 minutes. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the night market, making it a great location. When I checked in, there was a female staff member who spoke Japanese. The room was small but sufficient for just sleeping. I opted for breakfast, which was a buffet at a nearby a...
In the morning, the chef prepares freshly made beef noodles and vegetable stir-fry for breakfast. Unlike other places where you have to make your own noodle dishes, the service here is impressive. It's such a friendly place that I want to go back. The hot spring water is wonderful. The dressing area is divided into two sections: one for undressing and the other for pu...
Since I went to Jiaosi by bus, it was a bit of a distance from the bus terminal, but it is in a very convenient location within a 10-minute walk from the station. The staff was friendly, and although some of them couldn't speak English, they helped me when I was in trouble. The room was also very clean and allowed me to feel relaxed.
The interior of the room is clean and tidy. Although there are some signs of age, it does not affect the quality of the stay. The front desk staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. There is a nice night market right across the street which is great for shopping. However, during the quiet hours of the night, you can hear the sound of cars speeding by, but it'...
As soon as you enter, it feels like an old jjimjilbang-style hotel. The staff is really kind! The room itself is very spacious, so if you're okay with the old interior, I would recommend it! A swim cap is required when using the hot spring!! The night market is right outside the hotel, so the accessibility is good.
The design style instantly feels right! I'm also very glad I booked a balcony room! The view and the sunlight that comes in are truly beautiful! The bathtub is custom-made, resembling a hot spring tub, not a standard bathtub, so it’s very spacious – soaking in it is so relaxing👏🏻 The room emits a subtle natural essential oil fragrance, which is really comfortable; b...

The onsen hot spring shower is really super nice and relaxing that’s most spectacular ! cheap and clean well organized, the staff very helpful and polite perfect staying ! highly recommend
The hostel is very spacious and is very close to a big park. The beach is just 45 minutes away by bicycle. The staff and the cats are very friendly. Very clean. The host speaks perfect english and is very helpful and supportive. Thank you for having me.
One of the male staff members was very kind, while the other seemed very flustered, maybe because he was late, haha. Thank you for the snacks. The night market was close by and it was convenient to park my motorcycle. Overall, it was clean. There is no washing machine, but there is a dryer, so I think if I wash my clothes myself and just use the dryer, they will be dry...
The accommodation I chose to surf at Toriishi Port was a bit further away than I expected, making it a bit too far to walk, but they provided bicycles, so it wasn't an issue to get around. Everything was clean and beautiful, and I highly recommend it! 😊
I used the dormitory. The dormitory was spacious, with each person having their own TV, and it was the largest I have stayed in so far. The location was very convenient as it was close to the station! The only concern was that the shower water flowed out of the shower room, but everything else was great!
Really close to everything, good air con. Amazing water pressure and nice hot shower. Perfect stay
Close to the train station and luodong night market. Kids were really pleased with the in room slide!
The on-site hot spring is a standout amenity. The room is quite old but spacious, with a studio layout. Overall, it’s quite good. We had a wonderful vacation.
Because it is a room for six people, he will be in another building... the lock at the entrance downstairs is broken... when returning at night, it is not locked, so anyone can come and go at any time. The room has a slide and a ball pit, and there is also a small one in the lobby downstairs. Kids will be very happy, but it needs to be quieter at night as the soundproo...

Extremely good location and well service 👍
This is my second time using it. The room is a different type from last time, and since it does not face the road, it was quiet and relaxing. The room is spacious, and the bathtub is also large, allowing two people to comfortably soak. Upon entering, I found that the TV channel was set to the BS Japanese channel, and I appreciate the hospitality. I will use it again ne...
Very clean and huge room. The receptionist did an awesome job using a google translate to covey her msg with us since I dont speak Mandarin. I will comeback again!
For those who want to keep costs down. I was looking for a cheap accommodation with parking, and I found this place. The location and price are very good. However, I do not recommend it for those looking for hospitality or functionality. It is certainly not a bad place, but you get what you pay for.
The owner met us at the gate, knowing the entrance was obscure. We had a unique request in which she assisted personally and our stay had become a thousand percent better.
I love this hotel, and I always stay here when I come to Jiaoxi. The rooms are cute, quiet, and the scenery is wonderful with lots of greenery. The hot springs are at the perfect temperature, and the baths are spacious and very relaxing. The staff is friendly, kind, and has a wonderful smile. It feels like coming home. I will definitely use it again next time!
I tried to find a place near to the night market. It was the place I found with a decent price. The location was excellent and the size of the room was good but the room was just OK.
It is very close to Jiaoxi Station, and it's very convenient to go to Luodong Night Market in the evening. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful, and more importantly, breakfast is included! The room is spacious and comfortable, the air conditioning is strong, the bathroom is spacious and dry, the water pressure is adequate, and the bed is large; the provided s...
I was really satisfied with my hotel during my first solo trip to Luodong. First of all, the room and bathroom were incredibly spacious, and the air conditioning equipment was new and good. Although there were many families staying, I was able to spend my time quietly. It was also conveniently located near the Luodong Night Market. I would definitely like to use it aga...
I found this place while searching for affordable accommodation during my solo trip, and I was pleased with the good condition of the room and the kindness of the owners. Although the only language available was Chinese, it was convenient to communicate in Korean when the male owner was present thanks to a translation app, and he could also manage English to some exten...

Flooding toilet ..no hand towels..no floor mats...walking around with wet feet after shower almost fell walking out from the toilet after shower.never ever tried checking in room standing outside with rain coming on me ... No sign of hotel only one small ons.32 on the flower pot Infront of the cafe... Experience never will try again .
The room is not very spacious, but the quadruple room with two oversized double beds does not feel cramped. The indoor environment is very clean, and everything has been renovated, including the bathroom, which is well-maintained. The bathtub is clean and suitable for bathing, the water pressure is sufficient, and hot water arrives quickly. Although there is no parki...
1. The quilt needs to be larger. 2. Change the trash can to a foot-operated type. 3. Change the showerhead to an adjustable water flow type, because the water pressure is too strong.
I stayed for a week. The breakfast was not extravagant, but there were many vegetable side dishes, and I never got tired of eating them every day. The staff was also friendly. The room was clean and nice, but I heard there was no safety box, which I thought would have been nice to have.

The hotel was booked in advance through Agoda, and the check-in process was smooth; the room was clean and free of odors, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. Dining at the Loreen Restaurant on the third floor for dinner and breakfast was very enjoyable. It is recommended not to forget to take a moment to look at the WALDEN essays on the desk to appreciate the tho...
I booked a double room for the fourth Friday and Saturday of November for around 170,000 KRW, and if you walk for 5 to 10 minutes, you will reach the bustling area of Jiaoxi, where the Kilin Hotel is located... Across from the hotel, there is the Jiaoxi Hot Springs Park and a bus stop, making it very accessible if you come by bus from Taipei... The hotel pool, which is...
The room is really beautiful, the bathtub is super large, and there’s a projection screen that can be used to watch YouTube, Netflix, or Disney+ via Apple TV. With top-notch service, I feel that it's very worthwhile to come here! The only downside is that there aren’t many dining options nearby; you need to ride a bike or drive for a short distance, about 10 minutes.
The location is perfect very close to the train station. When traveling from Taipei if you take the train this is the best option, it connect to the water spa, the rent is included the ticket. At night you can go to nearby night market by train easily.
The room is very clean, the soundproofing is great, and the design is very aesthetic. The bed and pillows are very comfortable; I stayed for two nights and slept really well each night. The hotel location is excellent, just a five-minute walk from Jiaoxi Station. The private hot spring in the room is large and clean, and the water pressure for the shower is really st...

Real reviews for hotels
You can do variety of activity in this city, water sport/bush walking/ jogging.. suites those don't want to waste time in hotel room.
Suitable for a short stay at Yilan. Jimmy artwork is at the train station and along the streets. It is good to cycle around the small town.
Yilan is a wonderful place for relaxation. There are varieties of things to do such as sight seeing, visiting cultural places and going to night markets.
You have to stay in Luodong instead of Yilan because of the Luodong night market. Yilan has a smaller night market and it isn't that impressive.
nothing to share much because went only one night. We only visited the cold spring which is our main aim.
A sleepy town generally - mostly agricultural, so there are plots and plots of land used for rice/ grain growing.
Yilan though bigger than Luodong looks rather quiet. It is more of an administrative centre and lacks commerce.
I went to have a seafood lunch at a fishing port. The seafood is fresh and a lot of choice. The price is cheaper than Hong Kong and a bit higher as compare to Singapore.
Cruise around the "Gui-shan" island and chasing dolphins is quite worth it. Had wanted to visit the forests for nature walks but unsuccessful.
Fantastic place for vegetarians, lots of vegetarian stalls around. Just be aware though, that the Luodong night market is mostly over-hyped.
Yilan is a nice place. Full of scenic spots and good food. Good for sports, sightseeing and experiencing culture of Taiwan ethnic minorities.
better book a car or taxi for sight-seeing a nice and peaceful place must visit to the Lan-yeung Museum
The people in Yilan (generally in Taiwan) are super nice. Very helpful. You get to go up the mountains, see the water falls, do some hiking in Yilan.
Yilan is a development city close to country side. You can enjoy your trip with the nature and hot spring spa there.
a get-away from Taipei city. slow down your life and take a rest in the great nature, culture, people and food.
Hot spring and night markets are must-go. The food and people in Ilan are the other attractions that people are fond of.
Remember to visit the Ro Dong night market to enjoy the special dishes 'pu lou' and 'chong you bing'.
good places which if you like hot spring, nature and some cycling tour or hiking tour, good place to stay and for photographing also.
Yilan is a peaceful place, with lesser traffic, lots of people come to this area for relaxation. There are lots of activities you may do at Yilan and really great fun.
Places of interests pretty much scattered. Good to book a cab to bring you guys to the numerous attractions (more on parks, museums and the like).
I found this Candy House is so good service from the bos, this is family business, and the bos provide his service with the transport for us to the railway station, i will strongly recommand to friend for this homestay hotel , and if i travel to Taiwan i will book this Candy House again.
We went to the DongMeng night market in Yilan. Personally, I like market more than the one in LongDong.
If you are a nature lover, you would love Yilan. Boat trip around Turtle Island and dolphin-watching is a must.
Train service is limited; only 30mins per train typically. Be sure you have download the train schedule for the day if you are going to other Attractions within Yilan Metro City that is 1 to 2 station away from Yilan Train Station.
Inconvenient to travel to unless the hotel transfers are arranged. Not much to see other than enjoy the hotsprings in your hotel.
if u want a cheeap and taste good food, come here.But no shopping mall for hk people .You can relax eat ,spa,outdoor activity etc.
This hotel is very far away from the bus station and subway. The room is small and not very clean, many people smoking in the hotel.
Yilan is a very relaxed town with very fresh air and great place to relax and simply unwind to rejuvenate.
Many small towns that you can chose to stay for 1-2 nights. Found a great vegetarian restaurant in Jiaoxi.
A place that you can relax, enjoy the green and oceanic scenery. People are friendly and local food is delicious.
