Hua Xiang Motel - Nanzih
Located in a super convenient spot, the hotel is just minutes away from downtown by public transit, and there are plenty of great dining options nearby—perfect for exploring the area. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside? No bathtub in the bathroom, but honestly, everything else more than makes up for it. Great value for the price, and we’d definitely come back again.
We Motel
The room was spotlessly clean, with fresh linens and well-maintained bathroom amenities. However, upon entering, I noticed a strong scent of mosquito coil that lingered in the air. While it's clear the hotel is trying to keep bugs away, the fragrance was quite overpowering—especially for those sensitive to strong smells. A lighter touch or alternative pest control method might improve guest comfort. Despite that, the location is excellent—just a short metro ride from downtown Kaohsiung—and the overall value for money is outstanding. Highly recommend this place for travelers looking for a clean, convenient stay.

Hamasen Homestay
Staying at Hamasen Homestay was an absolute delight—clean, comfortable, and a fantastic value. Just a short walk from Xiziwan MRT Station, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around Kaohsiung. The building looks fresh and modern, with a working elevator making access easy, especially with luggage. The ground-floor kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials, and the fridge even has free glass-bottled Coke and orange soda—such a thoughtful touch! The room and bathroom were spotless, well-maintained, and so quiet that I slept like a baby. The slippers were surprisingly comfy too. For breakfast, I grabbed a quick bite from Dan Dan Burger across the street—simple but satisfying. I’ve stayed here twice now, and each time felt completely at ease. If you’re looking for a cozy, clean, and centrally located place to stay in Kaohsiung, this is definitely worth considering.

Liuhe Su Hotel
Staying at Liuhe Su Hotel in Kaohsiung was a great experience overall. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a mini-fridge, washing machine, and even a bathtub—super convenient, especially for longer stays or when you want to freshen up without leaving the room. The space is compact but thoughtfully designed, making the most of every inch. The only minor drawback was the sound insulation—on some nights, I could hear voices and footsteps from outside the room, which slightly affected sleep quality. However, considering how affordable and centrally located the hotel is, this wasn’t a dealbreaker. It’s perfectly situated for exploring the city, with easy access to public transport and local attractions. For the price and convenience, it’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for a clean, practical, and budget-friendly base in Kaohsiung.

Single Inn Kaohsiung Linsen
This is hands down the most unique single-room experience I've had in Kaohsiung—literally the only place in the city where you can enjoy both a hot tub and an ice plunge. The contrast is incredible, perfect for unwinding after a long day. While the women's bath isn't open yet, the men's side is fully functional and absolutely worth it. Just note that towels are only included with non-bed bookings or when you purchase a spa pass—bedroom guests need to bring their own or buy one on-site. That said, the value still blows everything else away. Clean, quiet, and conveniently located near public transit, making downtown access super easy. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat without the hassle of full hotels, this place delivers. Definitely recommend for solo travelers or anyone craving a little me-time.
