Yilan Hotels with Wifi

Quiet and relaxing. The balcony with chairs was perfect for unwinding and clearing my mind, making it incredibly comfortable.

[Vasty Hotel is a 3-star boutique resort in Jiaoxi offering a Nordic-inspired, minimalist aesthetic with exceptional hospitality. The property features private in-room stone hot spring tubs, a 24/7 complimentary snack bar, a rooftop pool, and a prime location near the bus station. While rooms are compact and breakfast is locally focused, it provides high value through generous amenities.

A weird one to review. First off, this place is very retro. I felt like I was back in the 1980s! Whether that's good or not depends on you! In general the place was very clean, however this was the first hotel in 2 visits to Taiwan where I found ants in the room. The day I arrived I found one, which I killed and disposed of in the toilet. The next day when I got back from a long hike, I found 6 ants and about the same smaller things. Also killed and disposed of these. The third day, there were none. That might be related to the next thing. The TV remote was in a plastic case, which was weird. I've not seen any hotels do that for years. Probably for the best though as it was first there was something sticky on the back of the remote. Could have been shutting but my guess is the battery had leaked and the ants were attracted to the smell of the chemicals. The remote still kind of worked but only about half the buttons. The day with no ants, I found the cleaners had cleaned the remote, but it also no longer worked at all. The next meeting just as I was checking out I saw the cleaners and told them and it was just dead batteries. They replaced them and the remote seemed fixed. So maybe the ants just liked the chemicals on the remote? In terms of facilities, the hotel is fairly basic but still reasonable. There's a table and 2 chairs in the room, but I didn't feel I wanted to use them because the ant's had put me off that side of the room. There was a fridge but it was unplugged and when I plugged it in nothing seemed to happen so I unplugged it again. It looked very old and rusty so I think it was just broken. The bathroom looks very old fashioned and the shower is in the bath. In terms of service, the room was cleaned every day and to a good standard. I also seemed to have been upgraded as I booked a room with no view and got a room with a window and a good view. So really the only complaint was the few ants, and there weren't that many, so I put that down to bad luck.

The part-timer (I assume) in the lounge was completely unenthusiastic, which really soured my experience. I just asked how to operate the dance machine, and it took me almost 10 minutes to figure it out? They clearly could have actively helped us, but instead chose to watch us struggle. However, the owner was great, the front desk was excellent, and the staff at the hot springs were also very enthusiastic and helpful.

Was kind of lost to locate the hotel and the sky turns dark too early during winter time. Upon alighting at Luo Dong and checked with people around, mention to just bypass Luo Dong station, straight and turn right, however was stucked took a cab there. Prior to arrival, staff check in on my arrival timing too. Upon reaching, staff was really nice and welcoming. Luo Dong night market us just minutes away and there washing / drying services provided across the road. Very convenient if you plan not to pack much!

The surrounding countryside is beautiful. The room has small children's play equipment, which the kids loved and didn't want to leave. There are bicycles available for rent at the door, but unfortunately, it was so hot, so everyone enjoyed the view from the balcony! Hahaha. The bathtub in the bathroom is huge, but it's a shame we didn't use it because we finished it. It will definitely be great to soak in it when we come back in the winter! I really like this place! It was a great reason to go to Luodong Night Market for dinner in the evening!

The location is excellent. Anping Road is the second street off Luodong Station, turn left, and you'll see the hotel after the first small alley. Regarding service, the room robot was very polite, calling to inform me it was ready to deliver items and asking me to open the door. It also called ten minutes before check-out to remind me of the time. The restaurant staff's service attitude was better than that of the second-floor game counter staff, but the enthusiasm of the younger staff was consistent. The service attitude of the front desk staff during check-in was average. For dining, although the official check-in time is 4 PM, I arrived early, and the reception staff already had my room card ready for immediate check-in. If you don't want to check in early, there's afternoon tea available in the ground-floor restaurant. You need to book your breakfast time slot at reception for the next day, limited to one hour. Since I chose the least crowded time (7 AM-8 AM), I finished my meal in less than 40 minutes and, with the restaurant staff's permission, took a few bottles of drinks back to my room. In terms of facilities, the second floor can cater to young children with a wide variety of remote-control cars. The third floor should have facilities to keep older kids entertained. Regarding cleanliness, the restaurant dining area, the second-floor game area, and the public women's restroom were good. However, the bathroom hygiene in the guest room needs improvement. There was a lotion bottle with only about 1/10 left, presumably used by someone else, next to the hand soap. There was only one roll of toilet paper with no spare. The sink had standing water with floating debris and hair. The showerhead's water pressure was insufficient, and once turned on, it would drip for a very long time after being turned off. The hot water for the bath the next morning wasn't hot. There was no laundry bag provided, which I've found in all hotels and even luxury hotels in Taipei and Taoyuan. After inquiring at the front desk, I was told they had regular plastic bags that the robot could deliver to my door. The soundproofing, I felt, was good. Setting the air conditioning to 20.9°C was cold enough, but upon entering the room, with the AC set to 25°C, there was a musty smell.

Luggage holding available. The hotel layout is not the most senior/family friendly due to having stairs leading up to the room. However room is spacious and bed is comfortable & clean. Lots of different channels to watch on the the tv. Shower area wise there was one night with a 5min wait for hot water. Having no full curtain or partition separating the bath area & toilet, expect the floor to be wet after shower. Breakfast is provided, you Indicate your meal option on the day of check in. The food area staff were very polite and helpful. Overall a really good place for couples!

There is breakfast, afternoon tea, and supper at 8pm. I think at this price, it is really good to have something to eat and a hot spring bath. The attitude of the service staff is pretty good.

The location is convenient, about a 10-minute walk to Luodong Night Market. There's a *** across from the hotel, and nearby are some delicious stinky tofu and noodle restaurants. The room facilities are cozy and simply furnished, which is great for light travelers and offers good value for money. There's also a self check-in machine on the ground floor, which is quite convenient.
