Dated hotel w/ nice views and outdoor private tub

Pros: Views are beautiful. The private spa tub is on the outside balcony of our room. I believe most rooms if not all have the spa tubs outside on the balcony. To us this was the one factor that made the whole stay worth it despite all the other annoyances.

Cons: The property is dated. Shower drain doesn't drain well when showering. Slippers they provide are reused by guests. We booked through Hotels.com but when we arrived, their paperwork said we booked through Expedia. This was quite odd. We received a Hotels.com VIP credit that can be used at their Spa massage. When we arrived, they had no idea what we were talking about. We didn't want to stress out arguing for it since we were on vacation so we just left it at that.

Overall: the views and the private outdoor spa tub made the annoying things that we dealt with more bearable. In the end, the fact that we booked from Hotels but they said we booked from Expedia and we never got our Hotels VIP credit for massages was the breaking point for this low rating review.

Dated property with overpriced mediocre restaurant, and tired beds, old worn down everything but featuring great hot spring pools and very friendly staff to make up for all that...

It's a VIP+ hotel, but really offers none of the perks: they gave a spa ticket discount for 10%, but at the spa you see that's their promotion for everyone. Late check-out not available, nor room upgrades.

Bad value for money as the rooms like the elevator are old fashioned and falling apart.

As noted though, really nice staff and they do have on site parking! If you do stay, do yourself a favour and bring your own food or eat before arriving.

It was after my persistent request that I managed to leave my luggage at the counter and went to 金山站 to save the waiting time. On the contrary, the receptionists at 二館 were very nice in introducing the hotel amenities.

Good Hot Spring Experience

Given the remote location of the hotel, it would be ideal if the hotel can provide the free shuttle service for its guest from Taipei City to the Hotel once per day at 1300. Otherwise, the overall experience was enjoyable and relaxing.

I have experienced some intoxicated guys knocked and shouted on the guest room corridor and I called to the reception and inform them on this thing and what the the staff just told me was she noticed the guests at the frontdesk but did not do any action (get someone to escort them to room) and the only words she said to me was apologized for inconvenience caused to me. Then I told her to send staff to check on the floor and after 30 mins and she called to my room at around 1100hrs to show concern which was not acceptable to me. I was traveling with my family and i did not want to get disturbance and it just made our journey at the hotel was awful.

Almost great if the room rate can be lowered

my local friend picked me from the airport and sent me to the hotel. Took a while to ascend up the slopes passing by several other hotspring resorts, schools and nurseries etc. Was told taxi may not want to take this route up the winding path...I arrived on a Friday evening, where the hotel is still not packed. Able to enjoy the outdoor hotspring. Simple layout for different pools, clean and well kept. I have also tried the in-door hotspring the next morning before breakfast, it was very good as I enjoyed with my son. Breakfast is simple fare, not elaborated and healthy. The quad room is well kept but TV reception is bad. I paid about USD400 per night for this room which is quite expensive. I chose this resort because it's newer and quite popular. Overall 1-night stay to use the hotspring and sleep is good enough, and relaxing.

We had an amazing stay at Tienlai. The grounds were perfect for our outdoor wedding, and the staff was willing to arrange something special for us. The traditional dinner was fantastic as well.

The breakfast buffet was great and had a lot of variety, however, we didn't as much care for our experience with the Khan restaurant.

The hot spring pools were relaxing and they even had a pool with fish to clean your toes! Nice landscaping and environment for a hot soak, and it wasn't overcrowded during our stay.

Many birds, flowers, and plants, as well as a \"happy garden\" on the grounds, plenty of places to relax, meditate, or read outdoors. The room was a decent size, clean, and even had its own hot spring bath on the balcony.

The room price also included access to the outdoor and indoor hot springs, which were very relaxing and made our skin super smooth. We went on a weekday, so we had most of the place to ourselves! The dinner and lunch options at the hotel were really nice, and reasonably priced, considering the resort's remote location (there are no other restaurants / convenience stores in the immediate area from what we could see).

Middle Of Nowhere

Ok place. Needs a lick of paint and updating. Rooms have been redecorated but the general common areas are circa 1980's. For a spa hotel the massages on offer aren't very good. Very little variety. Hotel gym is a joke. Spa hotels should spend some money and have a decent gym available. Restaurants close early and no late bar for drinks. More than once menu items weren't available. Hotel is miles from anywhere so it's difficult to escape to try restaurants in other places. They can get you a taxi but getting back is a problem as even local taxi drivers struggle to find this place. Also taxi's from the hotel are at least double the price of hotels back to the hotel.
