This Onsen Hotel is absolutely stunning. Our stay was amazing as my wife and I had a very relaxing time during our stay as we took advantage of the common area on-site amazing onsen baths and swimming pool. The Breakfast buffet was very tasty as-well giving you a plethora of options.

Great place for onsen outside usual popular locations. Place gives an upmarket feel and provides good quality. Very impressed with Breakfast buffet and Dinner buffet. Getting here will require a car ride as it is literally in the middle of nowhere. Has a 7-11 (opens till 2200) within 2 mins walk. A 24-H Hi-Life convenient store will require a drive out.

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.

住宿環境和員工服務係100分，但自助餐係要付款，但出餐慢，去到差不無就要出菜，款式少，味道普通，最差要行梯台才到坐位，剛巧我和家人都係長者，行多兩次巳腳痛😅，他們巳不願取食物了，令我相當不滿，因為其中一位家人是慶祝65歲生日😓其實佢睇過－個台灣旅遊節目來去check in介紹得好好由其係自助餐，真係令我好失望！

由於位於山上，所以環境十分寧靜，附近環境優美，房間設備齊全，十分舒適，早餐款式選擇多，泊車方面，酒店亦很貼心，早已安排泊車位。至於職員方面，服務態度很好。

房間很讚，但服務對不起這個房價。
如果只評價房間滿意度的話會給五顆星，但服務的話只能給三顆星，因為以一個晚上房價要價八千多來說，服務顯然不夠到位不值得這個房價。 第一個是停車指引，當天到達是已經晚上，但指標也不清楚會讓人摸不著頭緒車子應該先停放哪邊再去進行入住手續，指揮人員也沒有指引的很明確，然後整體來說有接觸到的飯店人員，其實稱不上友善且感覺每個都沒有靈魂的在工作，飯店人員很沒有存在感，令人覺得好似入住了一個全自助的飯店。 飯店早餐整體來說偏中式，且種類較少，有些食物都已冷掉，且飯店人員好像很希望把大家都集中在同一區管理，每張桌子都離的很近，跟隔壁房客吃飯有點近乎並肩一起吃，在安排早餐用餐位置上覺得可以更人性化體貼房客用餐的舒適度一點。 優點就是房間非常大，泡湯池也很大，房間用品都蠻用心的，也打掃的很乾淨，但服務真的需要再改善，才會想讓人花這樣不低的房價再訪。
