My fiance and I spent a quiet romantic evening at Pheonix Pavillion Hot Spring Hotel in a room with a private outdoor hot spring bath. The room had a classic Japanese feel to it and the hot spring bath was wonderful and relaxing. The room definitely felt a little old fashioned, and the bathroom looked a little worn out, but everything was spacious and comfortable. Hotel staff was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. While most of them spoke only a little English, they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and always found someone who could translate if necessary. We had a flight early the next morning and they also arranged for the hotel shuttle to take us all the way to Beitou station at 6 AM, and arranged a huge breakfast for us to take with us as well. The hotel feels very quaint, a charming reminder of Beitou's past, and the hospitality of the staff was unbeatable. If you want a polished, modern environment look elsewhere in Taipei, but I felt so comfortable and welcomed staying here.
