Kindness Hotel - Kaohsiung Main Station

10/10 Excellent

"Great buffet breakfast included, free snacks, coffee and tea 24hrs a day. Great location next to main train station."

Guide Education Culture Hotel Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts

8/10 Good

"I think this place would be perfect for short-term stays, but I had a longer stay and picked up on more than I would have liked. Pros: Location is in a great spot, walking distance to transit, amazing late night food, and easy for taxi pickup. The front desk was extremely helpful when we wanted a room change and local recs. The price cannot be beat, especially for the space. The room was spacious enough for two people to rest comfortably. The blankets were soft and the sheets were clean. Cons: For staying a couple nights, I might not have picked up on these issues but there were a lot of things that were overlooked. The place overall was quite dusty. The pillows did have some light dirt stain marks, but not a big deal. Most of my issues were in the bathroom. It’s small but gets the job done, but maybe is too cramped for cleaning to want to do it thoroughly? The floors/walls still had some dirt that should have been scrubbed off, and the sink counter definitely could have used a more thorough wipe down. Lots of dust accumulation in corners. Then there was the obvious growth of black mould because of the dampness. Inside the shower there was a sprinkle on the ceiling. Then by the entrance to the bathroom there was a BIG black spot. I actually tried to wipe it and could see spots growing back the next day through the paint! I only noticed during the last two nights so I sucked it up. I would recommend this place for quick stays, but do a room check for any… interesting spot"
