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
Posted 20 Jul 2024 on HotelsI 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.

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.
