This is an aging hotel with aging hot springs pools. The pools are fairly well maintained, though not pristine. The best thing about this place is its setting. The hotel and its hot springs pools are surrounded by lush rain forest, and every room has a view looking out over a stretch of mostly undeveloped river valley. It is very peaceful, with no traffic noise, and lots of fresh air and bird song. The water, I believe, is some of the most mineral-laden in the Zhiben area.Your whole body feels slick with minerals after a quick dip. This place seems to fly under the radar a bit, so the hot spring pools are less crowded than some of the other Zhiben hotels. The breakfast buffet is better than the Taiwan hotel average, and I highly recommend eating dinner at the hotel restaurant. Really delicious, with a number of local aboriginal dishes as well as standard Han fare, and great value for money. The rooms are also excellent value for money. Staff is generally friendly and accommodating.

The hotel and hot springs facilities are overdue for a renovation. Looks to me like the place was built in the 1980s or early 1990s hand has not undergone a significant renovation since. It is fairly clean but not spotless. The first room they gave us had broken screens on the windows and a couple of lights that didn't work, so we asked for a change and they immediately moved us to a room were everything worked.

Staff are very friendly, outdoor hot spring pools are nice, good restaurant, and just a short walk to the Forest Recreation Area

It is really comfortable, beyond our expectations!

The bathroom can be improved, but generally it is ok

The hot spring is definitely the highlight

Good spa

Facility is a little outdated.

Supa is good

Good hot spring

Bathroom has some bad smell and is quite old. There are noticeable dirt and dust. Sound proof of the room is also not good. The changing room of hot spring does not look clean. Overall, it is ok to stay overnight if you are not too picky.

There is hot spring water in the bathroom, so you don’t need to go outside to enjoy the hot spring.

There is only one set (2) of electrical outlets for the whole room, and the distance between the 2 outlets is too close. It cannot be use for two travel adaptors at the same time.

Price is cheap.

Everything is dated and old here. Ants in the room. Noisy Karaoke nearby during night time. Room is poor in sound isolation.

Meals were not up to regular standard and the room seemed out of style and needed upgrade.

No shower caps were provided and the room deco seemed from 20 years ago. There are spider webs on the top of the beams of the roof in the public shower/changing room. I will not book this hotel again.
