How were they supposed to provide accurate information to help guests leave smoothly? In my case, I had already checked out, and my room key had been collected by the machine. So how was I supposed to open the gate? On top of that, the gate—which had no access control—led directly to a Cosmed pharmacy, with a sign explicitly stating not to pass through to avoid triggering the alarm. Yet, the person on the phone, completely unaware of the hotel’s setup, simply told me to walk down. At one point, they even asked, “Why do all of you have problems?” Is that really the correct way to respond? It was highly unprofessional. So, after returning the room key during off-hours, how exactly are guests supposed to leave the hotel? ##### KUO PIN Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AYUMI 14 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 高雄旅行の際は毎回利用しています。スタッフの対応が親切。館内が清潔です。 ##### AYUMI Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### daisuke 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 総じて気持ちよく機嫌よく過ごせました　客が無印の思想や都合に合わせてねって感じはありました ##### daisuke Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tan 9 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Before you book, you need to know that you will share restroom with mall users until 10pm when the shopping mall is closed. Bath is strictly for guest though. Otherwise this is a good guest house. You may enjoy the 180-degree seaview if you book early. For Cuisine you may leverage all those restaurants and shops in the shopping mall. For the room itself it's really basic and clean, the mattress is fine too. ##### Tan Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SATOSHI 8 May 2025 ##### SATOSHI Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peiling 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 精簡體驗 簡單乾淨，加上有海景，是一間有風景的背包客居住場所 ##### Peiling Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### WenYii 11 Apr 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 超級差的住宿體驗 服務員毫無耐心 服務態度惡劣 首次入住不了解地理環境 詢問時只會要求自己尋找 服務設施完全未考慮行動不便的人士 ##### WenYii Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### YUTING 5 Apr 2025 ##### YUTING Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan 9 Mar 2025 ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shitone 15 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 一階にある飲食店は営業時間以外も匂う、それで部屋で不快何匂い充満 ##### Shitone Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sau Ying 15 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Sau Ying Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chia Jung 11 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 海景很棒 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C65F114254D65899F08964182009F24B2BA7EFF71739254637290.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47693853C72FF143AE811B5152A8A4D6054D40B71739254637167.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chia Jung Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### TZUWEN 23 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 絕佳港口海景 類似膠囊旅館，但是是設在已經改成文創餐飲商店的倉庫內。設施簡單，但是清潔整齊，價格也親民。 地點絕佳，就在高雄新濱碼頭旁，可以看商船和軍艦，享受海景。 ##### TZUWEN Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daebong 19 Jan 2025 ##### Daebong Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 海景能療癒一切 一切都非常完美！美中不足的是洗手間是與商場共用的…老實說非常不方便!! 無論是夜裡推拉閘門的滾輪聲或是因不熟稔門鎖開關方式而被關在柵門外都是對青旅的減分項...因真的蠻喜歡棧沐貳居的環境,真心希望能改善。建議1. 2樓商場的洗手間就完全由青旅使用;或是2. 在2樓的洗手間與商場之間多增設一道柵門,在當日商場營業時間結束後只需保留該柵門,通往洗手間的多道小柵門就可以直接開放以減少推拉柵門的不便性(以上良心建議)。另外就是面對商場這側的房間隱密性可能不是很好,因房間為和室拉門的設計,在營業時間中可能有與外來遊客曝光的風險,建議可增加屏風或門簾保障旅客住宿的隱密性。門鎖的部份是磁吸方式...在非24小時櫃檯有人的情況下不確定是否安全(?)但商場有夜間保全還是蠻令人安心的。小小的抱怨一下...洗澡熱水的溫度不夠熱, 另外建議共用廚房的流理台可以增加分類垃圾桶、廚餘桶...。抱歉意見有點多,但真的蠻喜歡棧沐貳居,有機會去高雄會再去住宿的(≧∀≦)ゞ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Man Wai 10 Dec 2024 ##### Man Wai Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HanYu 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### HanYu Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keng ta 14 Sept 2024 ##### Keng ta Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shihfan 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 非常棒 無印風，乾淨舒適，海景療育 ##### shihfan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shu Chi 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 很棒的體驗 接待人員熱心。環境整潔，房間設施新穎，衛浴乾淨。附近就是駁二，很好逛。 ##### Shu Chi Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oi Ying 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Oi Ying Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chun hui 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Chun hui Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ?? 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 港の古い倉庫をリノベーションした商業施設の中の宿泊施設 パブリックな空間に吹抜けを介してプライベートな客室が　ぽんっ、と置かれた感じ 清潔であり、必要なものが無駄なく準備されていてコスパの良い新しい感覚の宿泊施設です ##### ??
