Hsinchu

This is a very special store. The ceiling allows people of all ages to freely express their creativity, making it very memorable, as everyone's unique characteristics are displayed on the ceiling. Although I've made Lei Cha elsewhere, I went there to use a discount coupon, and the value was just okay (the bread was only given after I reminded them, and the portion size was average 😂).

The handmade process is very therapeutic and fun. The staff is very kind. You can choose your own raw ore, cauliflower, and essential oils. You can get corresponding answers through the Book of Answers, and they are very much in line with your current situation, which is very magical~~ Finally, a small essential oil is given away at the end of the course.

The space is well-planned. Both the sauna and relaxation areas are very clean. After a good sweat, I felt very relaxed and my skin was noticeably smoother. The shower area is excellently designed, with separate dry changing areas and wet shower areas, so you don't have to struggle to get dressed. The shower gel and shampoo also have a lovely, refreshing natural essential oil scent.

The ambiance is nice with fragrance and soft lighting. The reception area is clean and offers tea and water. The massage rooms are mostly small private rooms, offering a degree of privacy, but the soundproofing is a bit weak, and outside noises can occasionally be heard.

Although it requires driving to get there, it's truly one of the top choices for family-friendly hotels. It has complete family facilities, including a pool, playground, and more. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are good for sleeping, and the breakfast is delicious. There's nothing to complain about.

The hotel is centrally located, and parking is relatively convenient, though you'll have to pay out of pocket (around $380 NTD for one night, parking calculated until the next day). Hmm... The hotel uses automated check-in, but there are still staff available (we were able to borrow umbrellas when it rained that day). We stayed in a double room, which was quite spacious. The bathroom is a bit outdated (but I'm happy as long as there's a bathtub), but it's clean and tidy. The street view from the window is lovely. My only minor point is that the room is quite large, so why is the TV so small? Just a personal opinion, haha. Overall, the price of just over a thousand NTD makes it a pretty good value for money.

The location is excellent, with many local Hsinchu delicacies within walking distance. I recommend the duck meat noodles, and the stir-fried duck blood is a must-order – a delicious sweet and sour treat! The staff is also very friendly. I thought the hotel would be busy during the first weekend of summer vacation, but when I arrived around 2 PM, they told me I could leave my luggage and they would notify me when the room was ready. I received a call around 2:30 PM while I was still eating, letting me know I could check into the room. I booked the cheapest room without an exterior window, but it actually had a floor-to-ceiling window, just facing the interior courtyard. The bed in the room was super large! A highlight of the hotel is the children's playroom, which is really suitable for kids – they went wild! And the playroom is super beautiful and great for taking pictures! Having a swimming pool at this price point is really great, but unfortunately, the pool was too hot during the day. The temperature was perfect for swimming in the evening! I slept in too late and missed breakfast, so I can't comment on what breakfast was like. Overall, the price is commensurate with the room rate, and it's a hotel I would visit again!

The room was spacious and comfortable. On the first day of my stay, a typhoon hit, bringing heavy rain and cold weather. However, the air conditioning could only be adjusted to a maximum of 24.5 degrees Celsius, and one blanket wasn't warm enough. I told the housekeeping staff about it the next day, and they gave me two blankets. Then I found out I could adjust it to 25 degrees! But the weather outside got warmer!

The family room was spacious for three people, the beds were comfortable, and the sauna facilities were complete (cold and hot pools, steam oven). The high floor offered a good view. It's about a 10-minute walk from FE'21 Mega. The only drawback was the limited number of TV channels. Overall, it's worth recommending.
