Things to do in Tamsui Old Street

This was a last minute booking. Booked it on the way to Beitou. Redeemed it within 15 mins with no issues. Staff were very accommodating and the 90 mins for the bath were more than enough. Complimentary snacks and cold drinks as well. There’s a hot and cold plunge within the private room. Just take note that there’s an additional 300 NTD fee for weekend visits.

The hotel staff were very helpful in assisting on how to claim my Klook voucher and guided me to the public hot spring. Moreover, the hot spring facilities were very well maintained and complimentary refreshments were also provided (i.e. chilled packet milk, pocari sweat, and apples). Overall had a pleasant experience at the hot spring in this resort.

(Plus 30 minutes during off-peak season) Therefore, the private hot spring room is 120 minutes. If you don't like crowds but enjoy hot springs, there are off-peak discounts available from April to the end of September. Be sure to call ahead for a reservation before you go; the staff are friendly and provide detailed explanations. Also, if you're driving, you can first ask the guard at the entrance if there are any parking spaces left for the hot spring rooms. If not, there's a Qixing Park Dudu parking lot on the side of the MRT station across the street, and it's convenient to use a credit card to pay for parking. Today's room didn't have an outside window, but it had a relatively large pool, so there was plenty of space for two people to soak. Alternatively, if you prefer a larger resting area, you should choose a room with an outside window, even though the pool might be smaller.

Visiting Beitou Water House for a private bathhouse session was one of the most relaxing highlights of our Taipei trip. We originally walked in intending to purchase our tickets on-site, but the front desk staff was incredibly honest and helpful, suggesting that we book via Klook instead since it may be cheaper. We booked it on our phones right at the lobby, and the entire 90-minute experience was simply the best. The warm white sulfur soak did wonders for our tired muscles, helping us fully recover after logging over 20,000 steps each day of our trip. Between the therapeutic mineral water, sleek ambiance, and exceptional customer service, we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Taipei.

Booking the 90-minute hot spring private room experience at Kagaya through Klook was quite good overall. The hot spring room was clean and tidy, with a Japanese-style elegant design that immediately put me at ease. The hot spring water was warm and comfortable, and after soaking, my body felt noticeably relaxed, providing excellent relief from accumulated daily fatigue. The staff were friendly and explained the process clearly, which made the overall experience even smoother. However, the afternoon tea was a bit simple, consisting of basic items. Both the portion size and sophistication were somewhat lacking, which felt a little underwhelming compared to the high-quality hot spring experience. If the afternoon tea could be elevated, for example, by adding some unique desserts or improving the presentation, the overall satisfaction would be even higher. Overall, the quality of the hot spring room itself and its relaxing effect are highly recommended. It's a great choice for a short, rejuvenating escape.

The facility was very good. The hot spring was also very pleasant. It wasn't like those strong sulfur springs where all your belongings smell like the hot spring when you get home; it was just right. The access from the station and other tourist spots is also good, so I recommend it if you're visiting Taipei. However, I imagine it's similar at most hot springs, but regulars seem to dominate the space. I was warned for not wearing a shower cap (which isn't customary in Japan), while they were eating food they brought into the bathing area. I want to respect local rules, so if shower caps are mandatory, I would appreciate it if that were clearly stated. If eating and drinking are also permitted, removing the 'no eating/drinking' signs would prevent me from feeling confused.

The hotel is located downtown and offers parking. The room was clean and odor-free. The hot spring faucet had low water pressure, so it took about half an hour to fill the tub, but the soak itself was very comfortable. The hallway was decorated with many attractive ornaments.

I made a last-minute reservation the day before, but it was easy to use, which was great. If you show your voucher, they'll guide you right away. If you're not using it immediately, it would be good to ask if you can do it at your preferred time first. I thought the front desk staff would tell me the available times, but they immediately assigned a time, which led to a slight communication breakdown. It's not hard to find from the station, and there's a Hot Spring Museum and Geothermal Valley right nearby, so you can also do some sightseeing. I highly recommend it!

Experience: Tamsui Historical Sites Tour. For just $80 per person, you can visit three attractions, but the mosquitoes are truly relentless! I highly recommend bringing mosquito repellent; I got several bites at the Little White House! Overall, the experience was quite good, and strolling around to enjoy the Tamsui scenery was wonderful.
