Traveller reviews

“Superb”
09 Feb 2025
Loved the area downstairs, very nice touch. Staff great

“Simple and easy - would stay again”
19 Jan 2025
Room was clean and modern. We enjoyed the fun vibe and also liked the shared space with small drinks and snacks available. We also enjoyed the location very close to two metro stations which made getting around fast and easy.

“Quiet and comfortable hotel in Kaohsiung”
10 Jan 2025
A funky hotel with some very interesting room designs and wallpapers. Staff were friendly from the outset with good English, the rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet (despite facing main roads). The communal area in the basement is a nice touch, and I can recommend buying some steam buns over the road and have a coffee downstairs in the basement for a quick, cheap and cheerful breakfast. Laundry available at the top floor was a godsend.

I like location. Staff is helpful. Mine is the only 6 pax room at Level 9. But lift only till Level 8. The only lady staff help me carried 6 big luaggge up all by herself. I feel bad after knowing she the only staff working at the timing. Afterwhich when checking out we carry all by ourself. Have all toiletries and clean.

“Good”

The room is clean. The mini bar and dining area on B1F is very cozy. The location is great. Two convenient stores in 200m distance.

“Greta value for money, comfortable bed, good location. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back!”
05 Dec 2024
Definitely the best value for money I had on my Taiwan trip. Very comfortable bed and nice equipment overall. Check-in & -out was smooth and the personnel great. Location also lovely, since close to MTR and night market.

“One of the best!”
01 Dec 2024
I like the cleanliness. Our bed was huge and super comfy. The staff were very accommodating. The check-in process was super smooth. I would definitely book this hotel whenever we go back to Kaoshiung!

Big spacious room. Near by to food and walking distance to the Mrt interchange.

“Stylish hip hotel with friendly staff and fair location”
03 Oct 2024
Each floor is under a different theme, we stayed there for 1 night, then left for Tainan for 2 nights before returning again, so can see the different designs on 2 floors, and it seems each room got unique stylish design as well. Staff is friendly and helpful, facilities not bad, and like that they provide body lotion in the room. And they got washing machine and dryer at the top floor that one can use for 50 TWD each round, which is not bad.
