This was my first time staying here, and it was a wonderful experience. The location is excellent, and the rooms/outdoor bath/swimming pool have everything you could need. I didn't have time to enjoy the spa this time, so I'll save it for my next stay. I'd also like to try the food next time. I left my luggage after checking out and went to challenge the Marian Pilgrimage Trail (Matcha Mountain).

The thoughtful provision of welcome snacks and late-night treats is absolutely fantastic. The puzzle-solving game is great fun, especially for families with children. Cleanliness: Very clean. Restaurant staff: Extremely friendly. The private hot spring in the room is large, very clean, and very comfortable to soak in. After the bath, a cup of hot Pu-erh tea is wonderful.

The breakfast was abundant and delicious, and there were also freshly made spring rolls and ice cream. The recreational facilities were complete, and the hotel was clean. The only downside was that the view was blocked by buildings. The location is convenient, next to the bus terminal. I would visit again.

Let's start with the breakfast experience! It clearly left the biggest impression on me. The breakfast here meets the consistent requirements and standards of the Regent, with delicate and delicious breads that aren't dry. The handmade rice balls are fun and tasty, the stir-fried dishes are fragrant and flavorful, and there's even curry to go with it. My little one usually doesn't have much of an appetite in the morning and doesn't eat much for breakfast, but that day, he had fresh milk, curry rice, eggs, and toast with strawberry jam. He knows good food! :D Furthermore, parking is convenient. When we arrived at 4 PM, there were no parking spaces in front of the hotel, so we contacted the front desk and parked in the indoor parking garage next door. It's only a 50-meter walk down the stairs to the hotel, which seems pretty good ^_^. Stepping out of the hotel, you're right in front of the busiest section of Jiaoxi Station, with plenty of options for eating, drinking, and shopping. The hotel's internal facilities are also very rich, including a swimming pool, a family game room, and a reading room, so you don't have to worry about the kids getting bored. This was my first time staying at Just Sleep, and I was initially worried about the price. However, I found the price acceptable for this holiday, and the accommodation experience offered great value for money. Now I have another accommodation option to consider in Yilan besides Song House. Highly recommended.

The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The hotel rooftop features a trendy photo-op wall and a kids' play area. The outdoor decor is very inviting. There's also a library on the first floor where guests can relax or read. The late-night snack is unique, mainly desserts. There are many options for breakfast, and it's delicious. Plus, you can enjoy breakfast until 1:30 PM after checking out, which is fantastic! Overall, the experience from check-in was excellent!

A great value hotel that I've visited many times. The service is excellent, and the rooms have a hot spring bathtub and a washlet. The TV doesn't have cable, but it offers various streaming platforms, and Disney+ is free to watch. The breakfast is decent, and the restaurant offers complimentary afternoon tea, including drinks, fruit, and popsicles. The downside is that the blackout curtains in the room aren't thick enough, so it's easy for the morning sun to affect sleep. I recommend wearing an eye mask when sleeping. The room's air conditioning allows you to adjust the fan speed, but the temperature doesn't seem to be controllable. Although the temperature numbers can be adjusted, the actual temperature always remains at 22 degrees Celsius. For travelers driving, I recommend parking in the B1 parking lot, as B2 is not easy to park in. Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and I will definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

Hotel Royal Chiaohsi The rooms are comfortable with large, very comfortable beds. The soundproofing is quite good. The hot spring facilities are plentiful. The night view of the Lanyang Plain at night is truly beautiful. The dinner buffet has many items and is very delicious. The pan-fried prawns and grilled oysters are great. What impressed me the most was the service staff. Everyone was very enthusiastic and friendly. They were also very patient and proactively caring towards the children.

The rooms are spacious with expansive views, featuring a private outdoor balcony with lounge chairs, a large hot spring pool, and a smaller cold spring pool. There are welcome snacks on the room's table, and kumquat juice and fruit tea are available in the lobby. On the R floor, you'll find an ocean-view outdoor pool and a mountain-view study. Next to the elevator on the R floor, there's a staircase leading to the top-floor book lounge, offering even wider ocean views. It opens at 5 AM, so early risers can witness the shimmering ocean at sunrise. The breakfast selection is satisfactory, in my opinion, with Yilan-style dishes like fish ball noodles and smoked duck. Unfortunately, I didn't see any gaozha (宜蘭特色小吃). Outdoors, there's the Baimi Riverside Trail, perfect for a morning or evening walk to exercise. The Suao Cold Spring Park is also nearby for a visit.

The Japanese-style garden area is great for taking pictures. It's also a lot of fun to interact with capybaras, sika deer, alpacas, and meerkats. The various DIY craft activities are also very interesting. The buffet-style breakfast is very generous. Highly recommended!
