Hok House

Located just a 5-minute walk from Meilidao Station in the heart of Kaohsiung, this place is incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The hotel has a cozy café on the ground floor—perfect for relaxing with a coffee or working remotely. The staff are friendly and speak English fluently, offering helpful tips about the shared lounge and kitchen facilities during check-in. While the building isn’t brand new, the rooms are stylishly designed and feel modern and clean. I was especially impressed by the strong shower pressure—really refreshing after a long day. There’s also a free relaxation area right outside the room, stocked with a great selection of magazines and books, including some cool Japanese lifestyle titles. It’s a fantastic space to work on your laptop or just unwind. I stayed for several nights, and even when I wasn’t in my room, I still felt at home—peaceful, welcoming, and full of little details that make it stand out.
