An Tong Hot Spring Hotel — Hotel in Yuli

Fourteen of us turned up on our bicycles. The staff was unfazed by that. Always a good sign. There was a place for us to wash our bikes, and an air compressor we could use to dry our bikes. We were allowed to park our bikes overnight at the inner courtyard.||||The An Tong Hot Spring Hotel is clearly an older establishment that is showing its age. But don't be put off by the dated fittings etc. The rooms are comfortable, and the showers are hot. Courtesy of that hot springs water. Which has a sulfurous odor to it. I didn't mind it, but it has put other reviewers off.||||The reason for staying here is the hot pools. The cascading pools have varying temperatures so you can sit in one which best suits your tolerance level. One pool has overhead water jets which can be turned on and off. The jets provide a pleasant pulsating shoulder and neck massage.||||The hotel restaurant turns out very good local dishes. We enjoyed our selection of food for dinner.||||There is also a private room where we moved after dinner for more food, drink, and karaoke.||||There is a reasonable breakfast buffet.

The breakfast buffet was very basic, the coffee for example was in a glass container, on a hot plate, and was already mixed with milk.||We were there the first week in October 2013, not many other visitors, so we had the run of the Hot Spring pools very much to ourselves. There are a number of pools, with water flowing from pipes. at different temperatures from cool to hot. These pools are nicely laid out. We had to purchase bathing caps for NT$35 each, even though we have very little hair, and yet the Taiwanese that were in the pool didn't.||If it weren't for the Hot Springs I would rate the Hotel as "1", if it were prime vacation season, I wouldn't want to be there at all.||One nice aspect, is that the Original bath house is still there, hidden by the "modern" one. This is now what appears to be a Geisha House and is interesting to...
