New Taipei Onsens

Need to email to reserve a slot and they will sms to ask you to confirm. High Tea is great! The room overlooks the water & trees. Slightly cheaper to book via klook. Wulai itself didn't improve over the decade.. even more run-down than 20yrs ago and nothing much left except for museum, scenic train and few shops.

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.

Great value for the money, plus the meals are freshly made and delicious! The hot spring pool is large with a great view, and plenty of room for a family of four! The service staff are very attentive and always remind you to be careful of slipping! Worth revisiting.

This was our first time visiting the Dashan Root Hot Spring Hotel. We started by walking the Three-Ring Trail and saw the national-level Bangan Sacred Tree. After a simple meal, we went to the private hot spring room for a soak. The hot springs at Dashan Root made our skin feel wonderfully smooth and silky. We'll definitely come back to enjoy the hot springs and explore again if we have the chance!

The mountain views are beautiful, and the overall environment is kept very clean and comfortable, allowing guests to feel a relaxing atmosphere as soon as they step in. The hot spring experience is excellent; you can enjoy the mountain scenery, and both your mind and body will feel wonderfully relaxed. After your soak, you can also enjoy the afternoon tea prepared by the establishment, which is simple yet thoughtful, making the entire experience even more complete. Overall, it's a great place to relax and unwind.

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!

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.

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.

Took the more expensive option which comes w a bed in room. Facilities and water are both good n I had a great time. SongLu is about 20mi uphill walk from Old Street so some may want to rent a car to get there.
