Kindness Hotel Sandou
Staying at Kindness Hotel Sandou in Kaohsiung was a highlight of my trip! I highly recommend this location if you're visiting the city—especially because it offers late-night dining options. I had dinner right at the hotel and enjoyed their fresh boiled meat sauce rice noodles and hot dishes, all very authentic and delicious. The sweet bean curd dessert was a perfect ending to the meal. Just steps away is a lively night market with affordable street food—perfect for casual browsing and eating until you're full. While the room is modest in size, the classic decor is clean and cozy, making it feel welcoming. Breakfast included freshly made egg pancakes and radish cake—warm, tasty, and satisfying. There's also an in-house self-service coffee and tea station with free ice cream, which was a nice touch. The staff are friendly and attentive throughout the stay. With great value, convenient location, and warm hospitality, I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next visit to Kaohsiung.
Kindness Hotel - Houyi Jiuru
My stay at Kindness Hotel - Houyi Jiuru in Kaohsiung was a really positive experience overall. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient—check-in went smoothly without any waiting time. The room was clean, with a comfortable bed and just the right amount of support from the mattress and pillows—perfect for a good night's sleep. Common areas were well-maintained too; there was no unpleasant smell in the hallways, and the whole space felt thoughtfully kept.

Location-wise, it’s super convenient—lots of dining options nearby and easy access to public transport, so getting around didn’t feel stressful at all.

Ling Inn
I stayed at Ling Inn in Kaohsiung, and overall, the experience was just average. The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from the metro station, which is great for exploring the city. However, the room is on the second floor of a corrugated metal building, giving it a somewhat basic and dated feel. The main issue was the hot water—while it heated up quickly, it ran out within minutes and the flow was quite weak, making showering a bit frustrating. I also noticed some cleanliness concerns: there were visible dust marks on the desk and bathroom counter, and the shower floor still had damp spots after use. It’s clear that housekeeping could use more attention. While this place might work for budget travelers who don’t mind simplicity, those looking for comfort and better hygiene should consider other options. Not bad for the price, but definitely not memorable.
Kingship Hotel Kaohsiung Intercontinental
The room was surprisingly spacious with a ceiling height of over 6 meters, giving it an airy and luxurious feel. The twin room featured a beautifully detailed oil painting on the wall beside the nightstand—though some paint had slightly chipped over time, it only added character and depth to the vintage ambiance. The interior design truly embraced a classic old-money aesthetic, with subtle touches like a hanging closet rack secured by a metal ring on the beam, where the hanger itself could be detached using a nail-secured clip. It’s these small details that made the space feel so unique and authentic. A large bathtub completed the room—a true nod to Japanese-inspired relaxation. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk to the ferry terminal, surrounded by local eateries, boutiques, and convenience stores. Within about 20 minutes on foot, you’ll find a large supermarket for all your essentials. But the real highlight? The breakfast. A fantastic mix of Chinese and Western options—handmade buns with coconut filling, black sesame, red bean paste, warm soy milk, sweet potato porridge, plus fresh breads and pastries. I especially loved the seaweed soup with vegetarian meat and bamboo shoots—it was hands-down the best Chinese breakfast I’ve had in Taiwan. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully curated. If you’re looking for a memorable, well-located, and uniquely styled hotel experience in Kaohsiung, this is a must-visit.
Katherine Plaza Hotel
We booked Katherine Plaza Hotel for a family trip and arrived around 5 PM. The front desk staff were very welcoming, clearly explained room details, and provided all the necessary info about meal times—great service right from the start. Walking into the room, we were immediately impressed by the clean environment; the walls looked freshly renovated, and the overall vibe felt cozy and homely—like staying at grandma’s place. One small downside: some TV channels had poor signal quality, and the programming leaned heavily toward K-dramas, sports, and movies. Also, the lighting in the room wasn’t bright enough when watching TV. The bathroom is spacious, but lacks proper wet/dry separation—adding a shower curtain would definitely improve safety and convenience. Breakfast was a highlight: generous and varied, with fresh stir-fried dishes, side pickles for congee, toast, buns, steamed bread, and more—perfect for starting the day on a full note. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—just steps away from Central Park, Dali Department Store, Hanshin Mall, and within walking distance to Music & Pop Culture Hall and Zhuangzhi (Dabu) Art District. There are countless restaurants nearby, so dining options are endless. If we ever come back to Kaohsiung, this hotel will be our top choice. Thanks to the team for such a warm and thoughtful stay!
