New Taipei Onsens

Jeg kom til det offentlige bad på en hverdag, og det var så stille og dejligt. Den dag jeg var der, var der kun folk fra Taiwan i badet. Personalet var venligt... Receptionen talte perfekt engelsk, og da jeg ikke vidste, hvor jeg skulle gå hen i badeområdet, kom en medarbejder og brugte en oversætter for at vise mig vej. De var virkelig venlige. Jeg var lidt bekymret efter at have læst andre anmeldelser, men det var fantastisk. Hvis du vil bruge det offentlige bad, skal du vise din Klook-voucher i receptionen, få en nøgle, gå ned ad trappen, og så er kvindernes bad til venstre og mændenes bad til højre (der står koreansk på skiltene), så kan du bare gå ind. Ligesom i en koreansk sauna skal du lægge dine sko i et skab, der matcher dit nøglenummer, komme ind, klæde dig af i et skab, tage en badekåbe på og en badehætte, komme til badeområdet, tage et brusebad og derefter gå i badet. De bad os om at fjerne makeup, hvis vi havde det på, inden vi gik i bad! (Vi er velopdragne koreanere, så vi følger reglerne, haha). Men ærligt talt er der ingen grund til at have makeup på, når man tager til en varm kilde. Mobiltelefoner er forbudt i badet! De kan bruges i hvileområdet. Og vandet er super blødt, det føles som om huden bliver bedre.

Safety: The overall dim lighting certainly creates a high-end hotel atmosphere, but because there are always stairs, it does pose a potential hazard. Experience: The public hot spring area features a high-temperature pool, a medium-temperature pool, a cold-water pool, a spa pool, a steam room, a sauna, and comfortable lounge chairs. The overall experience is quite good, with each pool being very spacious. Water dispensers are also available for making tea or coffee.

September 5, 2026. This is a family-style hot spring inn, so it's not recommended for those with high expectations! The hot spring water is very comfortable and leaves your skin feeling smooth. Basic amenities are provided. The couple's set meal was delicious and very filling. There aren't many parking spaces directly in front, but there are parking spots available nearby.

One of the highlights of my Taiwan trip was visiting Wulai. It’s a beautiful spot and perfect for anyone looking for a quick escape from city life. The hot spring experience was especially memorable, as it was my first time trying an onsen. The facilities were excellent, and it was nice to see locals in the bathhouse who seemed to already know each other, it gave the place a warm, community feel. Although none of the staff were proficient in English, they still made sure I was well taken care of. What made the experience even better was the free meal after the bath and the complimentary shuttle back to the town proper. Overall, it was a relaxing and worthwhile experience, and I would definitely come back on my next visit to Taiwan.

We made a last-minute decision to visit that day. After calling to confirm availability, we smoothly boarded the shuttle, and everything went perfectly. We chose the Yinglin room, and the Atayal tribal house theme was absolutely stunning; it was even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The staff on-site meticulously explained all the important details, and the front desk personnel were very professional and friendly. The entire experience was excellent. Afterward, we could enjoy tea and snacks, then head to the bookstore to stretch. There's also the Wulai Old Street to explore. Highly recommended!

Great private onsen experience, the room was spacious with amazing view. only drawback is the distance from the town, however a private shuttle can be arranged (100NT one way).

Første gang vi besøgte Osaka Root Hot Spring Hotel, gik vi først en tur på den tre-ringede sti, så det nationalt beskyttede Bangen-hellige træ, spiste derefter et simpelt måltid og tog derefter et bad i et dobbelt varmt kildebad. De varme kilder i Osaka Root føles fantastiske og gør huden glat. Vi kommer helt sikkert tilbage for at bade og gå ture, hvis muligheden byder sig! 👍

A very cute orange cat greeted us at the entrance. The lobby and room were quite clean, and the hot spring tub was also very clean. Although the room layout was a bit smaller and different from the photos, the front desk gave us a room facing the river, which allowed us to soak in the tub with the window open, and it felt very comfortable. Even though the height of the tub meant we could only see the sky and mountain peaks while sitting in it, it was still charming enough! However, the toilet only had a beaded curtain instead of a door, which was a bit unusual. The TV signal was a bit choppy; we had hoped to watch YouTube videos while soaking, but it got stuck on the same screen, and restarting the TV didn't help, which was a bit disappointing.

Jeg valgte den dyrere løsning, som inkluderer en seng på værelset. Faciliteterne og vandet er begge gode, og jeg havde en fantastisk tid. SongLu ligger cirka 32 km op ad bakke fra Old Street, så nogle vil måske leje en bil for at komme dertil.
