A Pleasant Stay
I recently stayed at Onsen Papawaqa and had an overall enjoyable experience.
**Check-In Process:**
The check-in process was easy and hassle-free.
**Room:**
The room was spacious, clean, and came with interesting local complimentary snacks. The highlight was the big hot-spring tub, which was perfect for relaxation.
**Breakfast:**
The breakfast was nice, offering a mix of Taiwanese, Chinese, and Japanese foods. However, the restaurant layout could be troublesome for some, as it requires navigating stairs to access the food areas.
**Communal Hot-Spring:**
The communal outdoor hot-spring, referred to as the "naked hot-spring," was quite mediocre. It was underused and not well-maintained, with leaves accumulating in the tub.
**Service:**
The service by the staff was very good. While English communication was sometimes challenging, the staff tried their best to be helpful in every situation.
**Location:**
The only downside is the location, which is about a 30-minute drive from the town of Miaoli.
Overall, I had a good experience at Onsen Papawaqa, with the spacious room and private hot-spring tub being the standout features.
