Wellspring by Silks Jiao Xi

Unique hotel with swimming lap-pool and large hot-tub/spa on the roof. Our room was modern, clean and comfortable. Hotel is near lots of restaurants and local stores. Underground parking was convenient and breakfast options were great…lots of East and West cuisine choices. Staff are super friendly and ready to help…especially Rose at the front desk.

The hotel is about 10 minute walk from the Jiaoxi train station. We just rolled our suitcases over right after getting off the train. Interior of the hotel is well maintained. Modern, clean and with great taste. Complimentary snacks (very yummy), coffee and wine (during happy hour) are offered in the lobby daily. The rooftop infinity pool and hot spring pool are a nice touch. But for hot spring, I think the one in the sister hotel Just Sleep right next door is better. It is a nude, single sex one in the basement. The washing stations reminded us of the hot spring baths in Japan. The room is well designed with your own personal hot spring bath on the balcony. The only shortcoming is that the room is on the small side (very Japanese in this sense too...LOL). I love the complimentary flip flops though. You are free to take them. Breakfast at this hotel is top notch. A good mix of western and Taiwanese local delicacies. Fruits and pastries are of very high quality too. Prompt tidying up service during your buffet meal. The local public hot spring parks and one big busy street are all close by. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I've been to Taiwan almost 10 times and I've to say this is the best hotel I've ever stayed at in Taiwan! I booked the Tatami mat room which comes with a private onsen bath where you can soak anytime of the day at your privacy and convenience. However, what really blew me away was the rooftop infinity onsen pool where you get breathtaking views of the city. There is also a normal cold pool for swimming beside the onsen pool. Breakfast was included in my booking which I thought was an extremely great deal. The breakfast is also the best one I've ever came across in all my hotels in Taiwan. There were acai bowls, grain bowls, and the usual rice/porridge dishes, bread for different appetites. I especially loved the detox juice that was offered at one of the stations. The hotel offers free happy hour at the lobby and you can get wine, drinks and some light snacks. Also every day in the evening, they screen a movie at the roof top beside the pools where you can watch move under the stars. Location is also very good as it's right smack in the city of Jiaoxi, Yilan. Hotel also offers free self parking in the basement which is safer than an outdoor parking that some hotels offer. The fridge in the room offers free drinks like coke, pocari sweat and two facial masks from My Beauty Diary. All in all, I really have nothing to complain!
