Where to stay in Kaohsiung City
Kaohsiung City hotels & accommodations
Good hotel and excellent staff! But only one concern (probably just in my opinion) that everything feels old... the decor, the ambiance, all the appliances and electronics in the room. It is most ideal if you use the room just to rest. Kaohsiung is a great city and I found myself out and about most of the time. So, I'm okay with it. Will definitely stay at this place a...
This is our second time staying at Kindness Hotel in Kaohsiung. We picked this particular hotel for its proximity to the train station/MRT. Check-in and out was a breeze. We had booked two double rooms and were given 2 triple rooms. We appreciated the extra space. Rooms were spotless. The hotel is walking distance to a night market nearby. And supper is now...
I stayed two night in this hotel. It was a real pleansant stay. The location was great 100m away from formosa boulevard Metro station and within walking distance to Liou He Night market. The decor was posh for its size and the rooms were amazingly spacious and classy. Breakfast was held on the 15th floor where you are overlooking Kaohsiung City. Definitely recom...
A typical 5-star hotel with luxury renovation and friendly staff. Hotel room with balcony having an excellent view. There is a large indoor car park and it is free for hotel guest. Location of the hotel is a little bit far from Kaohsiung downtown. There is a huge shopping mall next to the hotel. Just need to take 3 minutes walk to Zone C of the shopping mall and y...
This may be a new small boutique hotel, but the room is big, clean and comfortable. What really surprised us is that they provide imported mineral water and L'occitane toiletries! This is really beyond our expectation given the price we paid for the room. The hotel is well located with Liuhe night market and the MRT station only about 5 mins walk away. Overall exper...
For who want to visit E-Da entertainment park or outlet this hotel would be a good choice, but for who want to visit Kaohsiung city center this hotel might be too far. Room was very clean, breakfast was very good, the service was excellent.
Very close to houyi mrt station. When you have arrived Kaohsiung train station, just take the mrt to houyi mrt station, it's only one station away. Very convenient. The location of this hotel is 100m away from houyi. We booked two nights in Kaohsiung. However, due to the sudden change of our itinerary, both of us decided to forfeit the second night. The staff was kind ...
Pros: location was great since it was just walking distance from the MRT, Green LRT,shopping malls and the Kaohsiung Exhibition Convention Center. Sliced fruits were offered free daily (except Saturdays), the receptionist were kind and courteous. The rooms were spacious and neat. Toiletriesw ere provided, and warm shower was available in the room. Cons: no free sluced ...
We were not sure what to expect with the Grand Hi-Lai Hotel. Taiwan is filled with mediocre hotels that do not live up their price or prestige. We stayed in a Superior room with a view of the city and was pleased. Nothing about the hotel will blow one away. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious. The bathrooms were clean, comfortable, and solid. Nothing was par...
Stayed at Greet Inn after exploring other highly rated hotels in Kaohsiung. Glad we booked with Greet Inn. It's a newer hotel and very well decorated and furnished. It's close to a 7-11 and Family Mart for drinks and snacks. It's about 20 mins walking to Liuhe Nightmarket and 10 mins to the nearest MRT station. For the price of the hotel and the amenities, this hotel w...
we stayed for 1 night at 56th floor, the view is really awesome facing the kaohsiung city elevator is fast enough to reach high floor. location of the hotel is quite good near to mrt and easy to get any taxi. the room is clean and the space is ok. however we felt that the bed is a bit hard. we've found that most of the hotel in taiwan has a hard surface, probably t...
Love the hotel's minimalist decor. Hotel is located less than 3-min walk from Exit 2 of Kaohsiung Arena MRT station (R14 and hence, probably why hotel's English name is as such) & short walk to RuiFeng Night Market. There's also a Hanshin Arena Shopping Mall beside and not to mention, Kaohsiung Arena which is a common venue for concert in Kaohsiung. Laundromat is a b...
This review refers to the city twin room with harbour view. What drew me to pick this hotel for my first visit to Kaohsiung were the less obvious reasons that there were next to no hotel rooms in the city with both a balcony and a (gasp) washlet! Those not familiar with the latter, it is a wc with water spray which for me is indispensable coming from Japan. Didn't mat...
chateau de chine hotel kaohsiung is one of the newly renovated hotels in kaohsiung. this means that the rooms are modern and well equipped for business visitors. i find it very convenient and easy to access to its wifi internet connection. it is very fast and always stays connected even if you leave your desk for a long while. the room i stayed was very clean, and ...
The location is very convenient, closely located to an MRT station, though after a long day of work arriving only in Kaohsiung at 7:30pm, we opted for the taxi from the HSR. It was about a 15-20 min taxi ride costing ~$230NT (this was due to Friday evening traffic. Our return trip back to the HSR was only $200NT with no traffic and speeding). Although it is located nex...

The Howard Plaza is centrally located with a great view of the city to the north and south. It's a quiet hotel in a relatively quiet part of town. There are plenty of restaurants (e.g., Chinese, Tex-Mex, Thai, Vietnamese) that are all within walking distance. One of the main reasons we chose this place was it was one of the few with a pool that is open year-round. Many...
Location of hotel was conveniently located near Yanchengpu MRT. Hotel does provide clear pictorial guide to get to hotel. We were really impressed with the artistic designs of the hotel, especially the corridor and the interior design of the room. They are unique and creative due to being near Pier 2 Art Center. Breakfast buffet had a wide variety of food with a grea...
Should be consider to stay here if you plan to visit Kaohsiung by bus or MRT. The hotel is 10' away from the nearest station and it could be a problem in case you have heavy luggage. However this is a very nice hotel with beautiful architecture.
I booked this hotel mainly for its vicinity to my bridal shop in Kaohsiung, but it happened to be a wonderful stay for my husband and I. Like what other reviewers had mentioned, they provide free shuttle service to and fro Kaohsiung Main Station until 11 pm. You may call them from station and they are ever ready to pick you up! Breakfast is one major factor why my husb...
After stayed at Bali H2O this hotel in Kaohsiung really meet my expectation, despite the good facilities such as the roof top swimming pool, gym & executive lounge at 19th floor, the Hong Kong dim sum at second floor is delicious too. The only con of this hotel is the location of the hotel is not located in the city centre, and it doesn't have any MRT station near by, ...
Excellent location (next to Kaohsiung Station just 1 minute walk),in the middle of the Kaohsiung city( i think), 20-minutes away from the Kaohsiung Airport by MRT. Room is clean and relative large (can fully open 29" baggage without blocking). Bed is large (Double bed room) No bathtub, just enterprise but i like it( maybe only my room type is enterprise). Shampoo, show...
This is definitely the best hotel in Kaohsiung I have ever been, with about US$55 per night, you can enjoy a nice and clean room, with a spa shower, complimentary tea, ice cream, pop corn 24 hours a day! You can even have free laundry and bike rental service! Hotel is located a few mins from the biggest night market in Kaohsiung, but since it's located not at the main ...
M Hotel is very near the KMRT City Council (市議會) and the Formosa Boulevard (美麗島) stations. If you arrive at Formosa Boulevard or Kaohsiung Main Station, the hotel would be pleased to pick you up to the hotel for free. Let the hotel know at least 3 hours before your arrival. For us, the CHAIRMAN of the hotel came to pick us!!! It made our day especially the weather was ...
It was our first time in Kaohsiung - a vibrant city filled with culture, history and art. KaohSiung Pier2 Hotel was located near Bo-Ai district, in which you can explore many places to inspire the artist in you. If you are a foodie, rest assured that you will have access to plenty of food near this area. If you are a couple, the love river is just in the vicinity - ...
Great budget hotel in the area and we love the bathtub in the room and the breakfast! The station, while relatively near, was a bit far and tiring for my mother and especially after a long day's worth of walking. Still, we would go back if we're looking for a place to stay in the area.
Didn't expect to find such high standard Hotel in Kaohsiung. Good location, very friendly and helpful staffs. Room standard is comparable to Hilton, all the details and item used in the room. From furniture to lighting, bathroom accessories to the bed. Is definitely value for money, enjoy my stay very much, thank you.
This hotel is superb. We booked a family deluxe penthouse studio, big and clean two-level room with balcony, fitted with modern equipments and features, located near MRT (Kaohsiung station), 7-eleven nearby, friendly staffs, handsfree automatic toilet bidet, automatic curtain slider, great breakfast and has a lot of food varieties, snacks and unlimited drinks are avail...
My first time to kaohsiung, very satisfied with Fullon Hotel. Good area near the love river walk, Very comfortable , nice interior and room space, clean bathroom with good water pressure, service is good. Very satisfied
We stayed here for a nostalgia trip because we use to live and work in Kaohsiung. There are good lake views and the beds are comfortable. It's a 30 min taxi ride into town in rush hour which may account for the hotel's decline in popularity. Don't go to Kaohsiung for a holiday !
Cheap places to stay in Kaohsiung City
The place was a bit old but it was really clean!! The bed was so comfy and the air-conditioner works perfectly fine (cool and nice in the room) The staffs were so friendly and let me to stored my luggage before the check-in time :) And the location was so closed to Kaohsiung train station which gives this good place another extra points :) 7-11 is located beside th...
I booked here because it was the cheapest hotel in Kaohsiung with a double bed and en-suite bathroom. For the money, I would say it was very good value. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the rooms are the decent size, clean and the bed is comfy. I had a flat screen TV with cable TV and the Wi-Fi worked just fine. Bathroom shower was fine. The hotel is about a 5 min...
I was travelling with my friend and stayed in twin room. Good location,the staff were kind and very helpful. Will definitely come back to this place next time I'm in Kaohsiung!
Abby and I planned a trip to Taiwan but we both agreed to visit Kaohsiung first. Yes, we're both new to see Taiwan. At first, we expected that Kaohsiung is big and difficult to travel around. However, we made a mistake. Kaohsiung is not so big and it was very easy to travel around. Moreover, we stayed in this place called Backpackers Inn. I booked it because I saw that...
The hostel was really nice, there is a great mix of guests and a very comfortable common space to meet them in. I was concerned before booking as I had heard the beds are hard. There was nothing to worry about, I had some of the best sleep here I have had in ages.
I stayed there for 3 nights. The most impressed is their location, which is just next to the metro station of the city centre. Inside the hostel, you can have a great view of the city. The evening market is just 3 mins walk. It is very convenient. The room is quite clean and the staff are very nice. It is recommended to stay there when you travel to Kaohsiung.
The Taichung one operates better than Kaohsiung since they have elevator. Their Taichung is the best one i stayed bfor for Backpacker 41. Oh ya, its cheaper to book through their own website and pay upon arrival yea~ +good location (near no MRT and shopping mall) -no elevator and room is located at 4th floor (luggage was disaster)
This hostel was tied for the cheapest hostel in Kaohsiung, 11USD per night! However, it did not have one single review. I said "I'm going to stay there so I can review it for the next backpacker looking for cheap accommodation!" It is conveniently located at the Formosa Boulevard stop on the MRT. Take Exit 2 and you'll find yourself on the correct side of the road to g...
We spent 2 nights over a weekend here in one of the double-bed dorms. The rooms themselves are clean and the beds comfortable, although the cheap bed linen was wearing thin. The toilets and bathrooms were clean and hot water available. The big plus of this hostel is the breakfast, with plenty of toast, eggs and tea/coffee available in the morning for free. The staff we...
We received free room upgrades from owner and our new 4-bed private room is lovely! Location is 2 minute walk away from kaohsiung station. Although the hostel is full during our visit due to Mayday's concert, the cleanliness was maintained well by owner. Indeed value for money.
The location of the guesthouse is great and convenient, it is just about 5-7mins walk from Farmosa Boulevard MRT exit 4. And next to Liuhe night market. The environment in the guesthouse is super nice, it is like a home. Common areas and kitchen are spacious, cosy and well decorated, those pictures shown at the website is exactly what it is in the guesthouse. It provid...

All of the Staff are so hospitable ,most especially the hotel receptionists. The room is nice and clean .There is free sauna room, hot bath area , very nice dining and lounge area.Definitely , I'll stay here again when I'll travel in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in the near future. It's worth the pay and I could not ask for more.I highly recommend it for solo travelers...
I stayed at the light hostel in Tainan and their common area space was much bigger which meant more opportunities to meet people. The common area here is quite small. The location is unbeatable, its located directly outside of exit 9 Formosa MRT. The tourist night market is located right on the corner, although this is not the best night market in Kaohsiung. They give ...
Pathways Hostel is an awesome, chill spot for travelers coming in and out of Kaohsiung. The staff are all super friendly and have wonderful recommendations on things to eat and do in the city. The place is clean, and the hangout room is large with lots of tables and windows. They also have a big kitchen you can use with free toast and jam in the mornings. All in all, a...
I booked a double bed and a single bed in mixed dorminority room here. It's just 2 minutes walk from the hostel to Houyi MRT station. The room was clean. There're lockers opened with electronic card which is also room key. The common room was fulled of convenient utensils, namely microwave, toaster oven, spoons, knives, scissors, forks, etc. The shared bathroom has 4 o...
Jerry the hose is super friendly . The house is a bit far away from city center but very peaceful for relaxing. The house is clean and feel like a real home . Perfect !
I stayed overnight at Long Siang Hotel. I booked my stay here because of the excellent reviews from Agoda. I agree with the past reviews. First of all, it is value for money considering the room size and location. The room was quite big for one person and it was walking distance from Kaohsiung Arena. There were also a couple of 7-11 stores and restaurants nearby. T...
Knock knock hostel is well located 1 minute from the rapid transit station, and also about 10 minutes walk from Kaohsiung main station. Shoes are left in the cupboard by the door so the place is kept very clean. I was staying in a 6-bed dorm and each bed had privacy curtains, light, plug adaptor and individual lockers. The communal shower/toilets were just outside t...

A great location in Kaohsiung city, near Exit 2, Central Park station (walk around 2 min). Lovely, friendly and warm hosts! You can get useful travel and transportation information from them. The room, restroom and bathroom are clean and comfortable. There is a desk lamp next to ur bed and a curtain to keep ur private space. You definitely can experience Taiwanese hos...
I only have good things to say about this property. Nice comfortable room, friendly professional staff, good breakfast, nice rate & around the corner from the Kaohsiung Station. Closer than other, more well known properties from the station.
we stayed 3 days in this hotel. the price was the cheapest one in this district and only a bed to sleep was what we need. we was super happy with it! clean rooms, super friendly staff and super super cheap! we come back if we are in the near :)
I stayed here for two nights! The staffs here were really helpful, I asked him if I can rent a bycicle then he gave me a ticket with 20% discount. The hostel was very clean especially about the toilets and shower space!You will get known that the staff clean everymorning to keep the cleanliness. A lot of restaurants,including local and burger shops nearby.beautiful lan...
This hotel is underrated. It doesn't have as many amenities as some others such as the Ambassador, but the room is perfect and the staff is great...VERY clean and VERY comfortable. They don't speak much English, but enough. If you don't care about having a river/harbor view, La Ping will beat any other more highly starred hotel in Kaohsiung. We will be staying at this ...
Definitely staying here again next time I visit Kaohsiung. Location is excellent, very nearby to the MRT station, close to bus stations with easy access to one of the biggest shopping complexes in Kaohsiung. Few stops away from the main train station so can easily take day trips outside of Kaohsiung. Staff was very nice and helpfull. The "room" was quite cozy and su...
Highly recommended hotel to stay in when visiting Kaohsiung City. Just right outside the Formosa blvd mrt exit 1. Accessible to all tourist spots.
The hotel is one of the best I've been to! Worth the money and the staff is very friendly and nice. Too nice they let me stay at the common area. My apologies for overstaying! 😭 Thank you very much again and more power to Start Hotel! Truly recommended!
Very near to metro and Liuhe Night Market. Kaohsiung is a very nice city, definitely worth the visit...
Liuhe Su Hotel is a value-for-money hotel and is conveniently located to a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system - Formosa Boulevard - in Kaohsiung. It is just 5-min walking distance to the MRT system. Liuhe Night Market is just downstairs of the building. We had a room with two Queen sized beds to accommodate 2 adults and a 9-year-old child. The room was very clean and...

We were a group of 3 travellers who stayed only one night in Kaohsiung and were quite impressed by the quality of stay in this hotel. First, the staff was very friendly and helped us with lots of information on how to “maneuver” our short stay in Kaohsiung. Second, the hotel provided breakfast was of high standard and had lots of varieties from Asian style breakfast t...
I stayed in two different hotels in Kaohsiung and have to say i regret not booking Just Sleep for all my nights there. The room was HUGE, bed was comfortable, and even the toilet was bigger than usual. Overall it is just very modern, spacious, and very, very clean. Oh, and the tea and coffee that they provided as part of the mini bar was of great quality (not your typi...
First, I need to recommend all of you to book this hotel if you are traveling with your partner. Because they are a new hotel in Kaohsiung with modern design, 24 hours lounge and refreshment provide. Second, all the staffs with smile face nice service and very helpful. As me and my boyfriend will have a lately flight at night, so we will go out in the morning and a...
In general, it is a good hotel to stay in Kaohsiung. Its convenient location makes it one of the best hotel choices in Kaohsiung, especially for business travellers. However, there are two points that I would like to raise: 1. The Wi-fi connection in my hotel rooms (at the end of the corridor) was not stable. 2. The area outside the hotel is rather quiet (especially q...
FX Inn Kaohsiung Zhonghua Road Branch is situated near City Council mrt station, which is around 5 to 10 minutes walk away. The hotel is well furbished and nice looking, though the room assigned to us was smaller than expected. Nonetheless, I would visit again if I were to come to Kaohsiung.
My stay with Harbour 10 hotel has been awesome, they have friendly staffs and great facilities. They even organized a Complimentary Welcome Tea session at the cafeteria. The view from the hotel is impressive as the hotel is located directly opposite a part of the Love River which is a nice place to chill in the evening. Although the nearest train station is not very ne...
Of the 2 weeks visit the southern part of Taiwan, I have to said that this is one of the hotel that impressed me the most, with its highly privatized hotel guest rooms and the sea views that it provide is not one that can be found from the mainland Taiwan or any other city areas. Promotions was ongoing for this relatively new hotel with its affordable rate at the momen...
Room is big enough. Quiet. Housekeeping crew are service oriented. Breakfast is almost the same daily but the food are delicious. Staff are helpful. About 250m to 300m walking to the Sandou MRT station. Will stay again if visit Kaohsiung.
I could easily give this place a 5 stars recommendation, very grateful for the exceptional hospitality the staff members had rendered me in my brief one night stay... I really wished I could have stayed longer. Many thanks for a lovely stay! I need to depart at 4am in the morning, obviously will be missing breakfast hour. The front desk had so kindly ordered my breakf...
Fantastic hotel!! Clean and spacious rooms, the staffs were very kind and helpful, wonderful service especially the concierge. It was truly our best stay in the city of Kaohsiung, will definitely recommend to all of my friends.
we knew about this little hotel inside the university campus a long time ago but never really gave it a thought of checking it out. Not until recently that we chance upon a tourism brochure that featured the hotel. what we liked about the place is that its a beachfront area, something that you don't get in Kaohsiung City, unless you drive 2-3 hrs to Kenting. However, ...
stay at oh ya boutique motel kaohsiung for one night with family. lobby is spacious and well decorated. checking was smooth and motel staff was polite and sincere. the room is spacious. free bottled water, coffee, tea and safety box is available, we enjoy the ktv facility in the room. it's a nice place for both couples and family.
We drove from Kaohsiung Eda theme park and stayed in this hotel before heading for another city. The hotel is nicely situated, 5-10 minutes from the highway. The small room we stayed in is clean but had a smoke smell and unfortunately, we did not complain with the hotel so that they can move us to another room. The staff are all friendly, especially the ones in the r...
Booked the place for my fiance’s birthday. Fantastic service from the staff. They were extremely helpful and accommodating to my requests! The gentleman ferrying us to the 7-11 nearby is great. Staff helped with my 12am surprise cake and wine. This place is added to my yearly vacay list! Great, great, great. Fantastic huge pool and nice hotspring water tub. We got...
this motel is excellent, comfortable bed with good facilities. breakfast, i did not have the time to taste it. anyway i will stay there when i am heading kaohsiung again!
Nice enough hotel, though you might expect a bit more at the price we paid (130eur/night). Location is not super convenient, no MRT nearby though there's a bus stop next door with an infrequent bus that goes to the MRT station. Room was clean and spacious, beds were very comfortable and we had a nice view out of the window. Bathroom was good otherwise, except the wat...
This hotel is under new management and renovation a few months ago. They require some update as they were probably an old gem 40 years ago. Friendly staff and big dining hall for breakfast. They offer traditional Taiwanese breakfast which may not be all suitable for western travelers. I would go back and stay in future visits to Kaohsiung.
the laundry facilities were great. you can buy laundry detergent from the front desk. the breakfast was scrumptious and very filling. it was a mix of western and eastern food. the roon was small but clean. view was nice. the gym has treadmills and ping pong table. the only bad part is that the location is a bit of a walk to the closest.station. it is about a 100ntd tax...

One of the best thing is it’s one of the most updated, most cleanest hotel. The room is spacious, comfortable and all the amenities and bed is fresh and new (for now). However, everything comes with a price, which the cost of per night per stay is high. Compared to other 5 stars hotel, this one is probably one of the best in Kaohsiung and other ones are very dated and ...
Location: it is conveniently located just next to the Central Park MRT station exit 2. Travel in Kaohsiung is pretty convenient by MRT. Also, it is located within walking distance to the famous Liuhe Night Market and the Xin Jue Jiang Business District (you can find the famous Angel chicken chop there).
