Top Kaohsiung Hotel Reviews

8/10 Good

"Close to Love River and Pier 2. 5 mins walk from MRT. Clean room. Average breakfast mostly Asian style food ."

Han Hsien International Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a good hotel. The service is wonderful. You will not miss it. The design is great with big windows."

HOTEL COZZI Zhongshan Kaohsiung

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2nd time here, great room with large space, we loved the bathtub for kids, staff are so kind, friendly and professional, quick to response all our questions, best staff services for sure! Also we enjoyed the breakfast buffet, and their self laundry services, along with gym etc. I will definitely recommend this hotel to whoever stay over Kaohsiung. Plus the location is Right Next to MRT station!"

Kindness Hotel Liouhe Night Market Zhongzhen

10/10 Excellent

"excellent service. very helpful staff!"

Airline Inn - Kaohsiung Station

8/10 Good

"We stayed at Airline Inn from 13 Aug 2026 - 16 Aug 2026. We would like to commend the staff at the breakfast restaurant. They were kind and thoughtful. I am a vegetarian, and having told the servers about this, they made it a point every breakfast for the three days we stayed there to show me what were vegetarian among the breakfast spread. One server even told me if I wished, they could arrange to cook a vegetarian noodle or rice dish for me. I was so grateful. The hotel also has a laundry room - two washing machines and two dryers. This should be helpful to travellers but for the dismal state of the washing machine. Both the machines were very dirty, so we did not dare to wash our clothes in them. Another suggestion: Perhaps the hotel can consider setting up a small eating area. There is a comfortable lounge with low sofas. This is not convenient for having small meals. We travel as a group of four and would like to eat some food we bought together. Our rooms are too small to eat together. The hotel staff very kindly said we can eat at the lounge tables, but it was really uncomfortable. All said, we still find that it was value for money staying in Airline Inn Kaohsiung."
