Kilin Hotel JiaoXi

Fantastic location, right next door to Yishunxuan! The only minor drawback was that the room wasn't ready until 4 PM, but you could still use the facilities beforehand. There's also a lounge area with coffee and biscuits. It's definitely my top choice for hot springs in Jiaoxi during winter.

My overall experience during the stay had its pros and cons. First, let's talk about the downsides. The hotel's elevators are a bit small, and there are only three of them. During peak check-in and check-out times, you really need a lot of patience, as you often have to wait for a while. The room has a split air conditioning unit, but its cooling performance was just average. For someone who gets hot easily, it might not feel cool enough at night, which slightly detracts from the comfort. However! The absolute highlight and most surprising aspect of this stay was definitely the hotel's hot spring ♨️. I happened to visit on a misty day, and soaking in the hot spring while being surrounded by fog created an incredible atmosphere – it was super relaxing and therapeutic. At that moment, I truly felt like I had made the right choice. Because of this amazing hot spring experience, the earlier minor drawbacks were greatly overshadowed. Overall, if your trip to Jiaoxi is primarily for hot springs and relaxation, this place is definitely worth considering. But if you're coming for the hardware and high comfort level typically expected from a 4-star hotel, you might need to slightly adjust your expectations. #JiaoxiKilin #JiaoxiHotSpring #JiaoxiAccommodation #YilanAccommodation #HotSpringTrip #RelaxingTravel

I was looking for a hotel in Jiaoxi where the in-room bath also had hot spring water, and this place fit the bill. The location is within walking distance of the train station and bus terminal, but since I had luggage, I took a bus from the terminal. It's right on a main bus road with a bus stop nearby, which was very convenient, and the hot spring park is directly in front, which was also a plus. Our room was a twin, but it had a sofa that could convert into an extra bed, and the space was ample. The bathroom had a bathtub with a window overlooking the outside, making it feel like an open-air bath. We didn't opt for breakfast, but there are plenty of eateries and restaurants nearby, so finding food was never an issue. There's a popular pastry shop nearby that always has a queue; their pannacotta roll cake was absolutely delicious and highly recommended!

We, two adults and one child (6 years old), stayed in a city view double room on the 15th floor. Here are our thoughts: 1) The room was a bit small... there wasn't much floor space. After putting down two suitcases, there was hardly any room to walk around. 2) The bathroom door, when opening and closing, and the glass shower door made quite a loud scraping noise. If you needed to use the restroom at night, it would definitely wake up others in the room. 3) The area under the bed wasn't thoroughly cleaned; there was a visible layer of dust. 4) The in-room hot spring tub had a slight hint of moss (not very obvious). The hot spring facilities on the 3rd floor, however, were excellent and great for kids. There's also a swimming pool. We happened to visit during the rainy season, so we were very glad to have indoor hot springs where our child could play. The location is fantastic. We didn't purchase breakfast vouchers, and there are many eateries nearby. There's a Starbucks next door, and the bread from the bakery downstairs at the Garmalan Hotel is delicious. Overall, it offers good value for money. Housekeeping changed towels and replenished drinks and cookies daily. Aside from being slightly a bit dated, everything else was generally okay.
