Asia Pacific Hotel Beitou

Breakfast, room with private hot spring bathtub, beauty of nature, and hospitality of stuff

Very clean, classically Japanese style tatami room with a private bath, very close to an authentic Japanese experience. Staff were extremely professional and helpful. The hotel location is a little tricky to get to as it is at the top of a hill, but a free shuttle service is provided by the hotel every hour from Beitou and Xinbeitou stations, otherwise a taxi is recommended. The hotel was gigantic and we were one of the few guests there in late February, so we had the communal onsen facilities to ourselves our whole stay. The onsen was very clean and well stocked with amenities, water, with a sauna and 4 different baths. There was also a swimming pool, 'happy hour' of free drinks and snacks in the afternoon, and free air hockey to play for entertainment. Water pressure on the showerhead was also excellent. Breakfast buffet was decent had a mix of Western and Eastern options, similar to a standard Japanese ryokan breakfast.

Unfortunately the dinner options were relatively pricey and limited (Western style dining), so we went into Beitou town instead. You can also order Uber Eats to the hotel.

The location, surrounding scenery, accommodations, service.

None

The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The biscuits and ceramic teapot and teacups in the room were a nice touch to elevate the experience. Appreciated the free shuttle bus. The hot spring bath tub in our room was clean, big and easy to use. Visiting the Hot Spring Museum and the Thermal Valley was a walkable distance from the hotel, although we took a route which was steep at times, downhill. Definitely recommend taking the free shuttle bus back to the hotel.

The food at the buffet breakfast was average.
