No breakfast but hotel provided free snacks, candies and instant noodles with good quality. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room is clean and lively with decoration on the ceiling. The hotel is easy to reach to with either the red or orange line.

The minor things are the noise of the air-cons that we have to turn off during the nights and a couple of receptionists cannot speak English. Nonetheless, they are always very eager to help.

The room was spotless! The bed was big and comfortable, the bathroom and water pressure in the shower were great. But best of all was the staff. They helped us with directions for public transport, coins for laundry and were very flexible when we had to arrange an early check-out due to our own mis-planning. Thank you Nancy and staff! We had a great stay.

Location is pretty near to central Kaohsiung

My colleague and I originally stay for 1 night. We intend to extend for another night due to unfinished business. We came to a surprised that the price tripled from what we have paid for 1 night if we intend to extend for another night. The reason being was the hotel was on high demand and there was few events happening in Kaohsiung on the date that we intend to extend our stay. From TWD 1900 per night, it sky-rocketed to TWD 8000 per night and this is absolutely absurd and utter nonsense.

My room has a big window!!!!! And with the arty drawings.

its location is in between two merto stops which is a bit of hassle if travelling with big suitcases. Other than that, all good.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Kaohsiung metro, making travel around the city convenient. There's a water machine in the basement, so you can refill your bottle anytime. The room features large windows looking out on the city, and each floor has differently themed decor to add visual interest.

The lighting in the bathroom is a bit dim.
