HOSHINOYA Guguan

Everything is perfect. Just the bed too soft.

Best resort in Taiwan and worth every penny. Highest level of service - it’s like being at a modern luxury ryokan in Japan except everyone speaks Chinese. Room design is brilliant, and one king room fit my family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers with a California king and a separate tatami area. The room has an epic view from every angle the moment you walk in the door and includes a private outdoor onsen connected to your bathroom. I noticed many private in-room onsens in Japan are diluted down, but this was spring fed. The public onsen was huge, extremely well maintained, and included a large walled zen garden with an adjacent sauna and cold plunge. I was lucky enough to experience this area all to myself with one other guest leaving as I arrived and another guest arriving as I was leaving. In China, this onsen would have comfortably accommodated 100 bathers. The spring water is not high in sulfuric content (doesn’t smell like rotten eggs), and the temperature is relatively mild - ideal for my family. Given the limited availability of the hotel online, I was expecting it to be more crowded. I got the sense that room rates are controlled to optimize guest experience, not profit, while staff are trained to ensure that customers never feel like they are being ripped off or “sold”. It seemed there were more staff than guests on site. I originally booked 2 rooms, and some of my family members couldn’t make the trip. We didn’t need the second room, and the staff were very gracious to refund and cancel the second room on the spot. When I’m back in Taiwan or traveling to a place where Hoshinoya does business, I would not hesitate to book again and make a special journey to stay at one of their destination resorts.

房間超大，樓上住宿，樓下有單獨的温泉，方便且有私密性；酒店在山谷裏，非常幽靜，酒店後山還有步道，風景秀麗；酒店的園林設計風格獨特，賞心悦目

非常治癒的體驗、不過… 餐食實在是太貴了，園區沒有什麼設施可以使用、不過周圍有步道可以去爬爬山

環境打造很用心，服務態度非常好，日式料理和早餐新鮮，性價比不高

環境優雅，舒適，服務親切。溫泉的體驗很棒，地理位置優越
