The Complete Guide to Prince Hotel (太子行旅) Jiaoxi

Nestled in the heart of Yilan’s hot spring capital Jiaoxi, Prince Hotel (太子行旅) is the perfect laid-back base for travelers craving relaxing geothermal getaways without the luxury markup. Tucked at No. 67, Section 5, Jiaoxi Road, Jiaoxi Township, this welcoming, service-focused property puts you steps from Jiaoxi’s best hot springs, street food stalls, and walking trails, ideal for couples, families, and accessible travelers alike.

Hotel Overview

Prince Hotel caters to every traveler’s needs, starting with a range of accommodations that includes spacious family rooms and accessible options for guests with mobility needs. All rooms are non-smoking, fitted with crisp linens, flat-screen cable TVs, and free Wi-Fi that works across the entire property. In-room private bathrooms feature either deep soaking tubs (perfect for pre-bed relaxation after a day of exploring) or walk-in showers, and come stocked with all the essentials: free toiletries, a hair dryer, soft towels, and slippers. For accessible guests, the hotel offers wide barrier-free paths, lower bathroom sinks, raised toilet seats, grab bars, and emergency pull cords in bathrooms, delivering a comfortable, stress-free stay.

On-site amenities center on Jiaoxi’s biggest draw: natural hot spring baths for a relaxing soak any time of day. The 24-hour front desk can assist with everything from early check-in and late check-out to travel bookings, while daily housekeeping keeps rooms clean and comfortable. Additional services include luggage storage, wake-up calls, and private check-in/out for a smooth arrival and departure. Note that the hotel does not offer on-site parking, so travelers arriving by car will need to use nearby public parking lots. Only Mandarin Chinese is spoken at the front desk, so non-Chinese speakers may want to prepare a translation app for communication.

Travel Tips

As there is no on-site parking, if you’re driving, book a spot at the nearby public parking garage on Jiaoxi Road Section 5, a 3-minute walk from the hotel, for around NT$100–150 per day. The hotel is walking distance to the Jiaoxi Train Station, a 12-minute stroll away, making it easy to reach via public transport from Taipei. Book your stay in advance during weekends and public holidays, as family rooms and accessible accommodations fill up quickly. Don’t forget to pack comfortable walking shoes for day trips to Wufengqi, and bring a bathing suit for your on-site hot spring soak.
