Howard Plaza Hotel Kaohsiung
Staying at Howard Plaza Hotel Kaohsiung was an absolute delight from start to finish. Located right in the heart of the city’s financial district, it’s incredibly convenient—just a short walk to MRT Meilidao Station, and steps away from the lively Liuhexi Night Market and the scenic Love River. Whether you're here for shopping, dining, or sightseeing, everything is within easy reach. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered breathtaking views of the city skyline—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The infinity pool and well-equipped fitness center were top-notch, ideal for relaxation or staying active during my trip. Breakfast was a highlight—wide variety, fresh, and delicious. The staff went above and beyond with warm, professional service that made me feel right at home. Whether traveling with family or on business, this hotel delivers outstanding value. I’d highly recommend it—and I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Kaohsiung.
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.
Tenz Go Hotel
Staying at Tenz Go Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. The location is excellent—just a short walk from major attractions and some of the best local eateries in Kaohsiung, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Breakfast was a real highlight: fresh, well-prepared, and offering a great variety of options, including authentic local pastries that were a treat. The third-floor game room was a fun bonus for kids and adults alike, while the first-floor tea lounge offered a relaxing spot to unwind with complimentary snacks and drinks. Room amenities were mostly top-notch—especially the bidet toilet, which made mornings much more comfortable. The only minor issue was a slightly loose shower arm, but it didn’t affect the overall comfort. Clean, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere make this hotel a standout choice. If you're looking for a cozy, centrally located stay with great value, I highly recommend giving Tenz Go Hotel a try.
Just Inn Kaohsiung
Staying at Just Inn Kaohsiung was a great experience overall. The room was spotlessly clean, with strong water pressure and comfortable bedding that made for a restful night's sleep. While the hotel doesn’t provide complimentary toothpaste, toothbrushes, or disposable slippers—something to keep in mind if you’re traveling light—these are easy to bring along. A few minor notes: since the room is close to the street, morning traffic noise can be noticeable, so earplugs might help if you're sensitive to sound. Also, using the bathtub tends to increase humidity in the room, so airing it out afterward is recommended. Despite these small quirks, the location is fantastic—just a short walk from the lively night market and surrounded by plenty of dining options. Public transportation access is convenient, and everything feels well-connected. For the price and quality, this place offers excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again.
RIVER INN ZIHLI
Staying at River Inn Zihli was an absolute delight! The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, making the whole experience feel fresh and relaxing. What really stood out was the location—everything I wanted to explore, including the vibrant night market, shopping district, and train station, was just a short bus ride away with direct connections. No need for complicated transfers. The twin room had surprisingly wide beds, much more spacious than standard hotel rooms, so we slept comfortably even with two adults. Plus, the lobby offered free drinks and snacks—a nice little touch that added to the welcoming vibe. It’s clear the team cares about guest comfort. If you’re visiting Kaohsiung and want a quiet, convenient, and well-kept stay, this place is definitely worth considering. I’ll be back!
RIVER TREES HOTEL
Staying at River Trees Hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms are beautifully designed with a minimalist, Muji-inspired aesthetic that feels both serene and stylish. I especially appreciated the complimentary coffee, drinks, and cookies available on the first floor—perfect for a morning pick-me-up. The only downsides are the lack of an elevator and on-site parking, but the platform does offer parking fee reimbursement, so you just need to find a nearby street parking spot or lot. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall vibe, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches make this a standout choice. Great value, great location, and a very welcoming atmosphere—definitely planning to return.
Guide Education Culture Hotel Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
Staying at Guide Education Culture Hotel Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts was a fantastic experience. The location is perfect—just steps away from the Museum of Fine Arts and very convenient for exploring downtown Kaohsiung via public transit. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, making it ideal for families. What stood out most was the incredible value for money—the price per night is very reasonable, especially with free parking included, which is a big plus for travelers driving their own cars. I was also pleasantly surprised by the soundproofing; we didn’t hear any noise from neighboring rooms, which made for a peaceful and restful sleep. Overall, this hotel offers excellent comfort, convenience, and affordability. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kaohsiung, especially those looking for a budget-friendly yet high-quality stay.
HUB HOTEL KAOHSIUNG Yisin Branch
The four-person room was surprisingly spacious—perfect for a group of four with plenty of room to move around. Water pressure was strong, and the cleanliness of the room stood out; it felt fresh and well-maintained throughout our stay. What really impressed us was how the front desk team seamlessly merged our two separate bookings into one reservation, eliminating the need to check out and back in—such a thoughtful touch that saved us time and hassle. The location is excellent: right next to a variety of restaurants, convenience stores, and even a pharmacy, making daily needs super convenient. The only minor downside was the sound insulation—some noise from adjacent rooms could be heard, especially during quiet hours—but this didn’t significantly affect our overall experience. All things considered, the comfort, service, and value made this stay highly memorable and worth recommending.
Happy Hotel
Staying at Happy Hotel in Kaohsiung was a pleasant surprise despite the ongoing exterior renovations. While the building work started early in the morning—around 8 AM—it didn’t take away from the charm of the room, which, though slightly aged, has a cozy, homey feel that instantly puts you at ease. The warm atmosphere made it easy to unwind after a day of exploring the city. Just a heads-up if you’re a heavy sleeper: the construction noise starts early, so plan to wake up and pack early if you want to hit the ground running for your day trips. Overall, the comfort, location, and genuine hospitality more than make up for the temporary inconvenience. A great choice for travelers looking for value and character.
Traveler Station
Staying at Traveler Station was an absolute delight! The room was spotlessly clean, with strong water pressure and instant hot water—no waiting around. Spacious and well-designed, it offered plenty of room to move around while maintaining a peaceful, quiet atmosphere perfect for a good night's sleep. I especially appreciated the self-check-in option—it saved me time and gave me full flexibility. Located just a short walk from the bustling Liuchu Night Market, I had easy access to amazing local street food and shopping. Plus, there were ample parking spaces nearby, making it super convenient whether you're driving or using public transport. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully done. A top-tier choice in Kaohsiung!
