Jiaoxi Forest Bath is a great place to relax and soak in the hot springs! Buying the vitality spa ticket through Klook is super cost-effective, and the fact that there's no extra charge on holidays makes it an excellent value. The park environment is tranquil, and the Japanese-style bath surrounded by greenery makes you feel like you're in Japan. The service staff are friendly and courteous, providing clear guidance. The facilities are well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere is clean and comfortable. After soaking in the hot springs, your whole body feels warm and cozy, and all your fatigue is swept away! It's perfect for a day trip in Yilan, and I recommend it to friends who want to relax and rejuvenate. I will definitely visit again next time!

The front desk staff are very friendly. The spa room is spacious and very comfortable for enjoying the warm spring water with family. The toiletries such as shower gel and shampoo are from the hotel's spa senses line, which is very nice! I would like to come again if I have the chance next time.

I stayed at another Orient Suites Hotel a few months ago, and the decor, how new it was, the cleanliness, and the service were all much better than my experience at this hotel... I booked this hotel because the family room at Orient Suites was fully booked. I thought it would be okay since it's the same group and the price is similar, but as soon as I walked in, I felt the difference was too great...

Having the hotel's own parking lot is very convenient, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The overall interior design has a nice quality. The reception staff are very polite and courteous. I would like to bring my children to play next time. In addition to the hot springs, I heard that there are some activities suitable for children to play.

This time, I chose Mu Jiaoxi Hotel for the hot springs mainly because I was interested in playing the SWITCH facilities. Since you can only enter and exit once, we had lunch, then went to the hot springs first. After the hot springs, we went to play SWITCH. There are many SWITCH consoles. After 3:00 PM, there were almost no people playing. There's racing, Mario Party, etc. The environment is very good. This time we went on a weekday. The hot spring area isn't too big, with a limit of 50 people, but it's okay just for hot springs. It's best to go on a weekday when there are fewer people. Next time, I'll have to check it out on a weekend to see if it's crowded.

Large and spacious facility with clean locker room and showers. Great value because they also offer complimentary drinks at a bar near the hot spring area. Also even though it is single entry, you can still go to the locker room and get back inside anytime. The unlimited time for hot spring is really worth it. The steam room also has a big window looking out to the street so it has natural light. Overall, we had a great experience.

Great environment, convenient transportation, right next to Tangweigou Hot Spring Park. The service staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel at home. Choose Mu-En for a high CP value when visiting Jiaoxi. They also have family rooms that are perfectly suited to children's preferences.
