Lovely & friendly landlady. She can speak english well. Good value of money if you're only staying for a night and going to a concert at Kaohsiung National Stadium. Close to a bus stop or just 30 mins walk away. Also close to Lotus Lake.

I stayed here for one night to attend a concert at the Kaohsiung Arena and it was perfect! The staff were super lovely and spoke great English, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great the breakfast was. Would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Kaohsiung.

Comfy bed (I had the double one), with a nice view over the city. The place is clean, quiet enough, lovely staff, and WiFi was strong (and with good signal in both rooms and lobby). Good value for money and good location (literally a minute away from MRT exit, with PX mart and 7-Eleven less than 5 min away)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location and relatively cheap, less than 5 mins walk from the Sanduo Shopping District train station and pretty central to most places in Kaohsiung. The common area is pretty good, there’s tea and coffee provided and places for people to sit and eat or relax. There’s also a good sheltered laundry area on the top floor where you can hand wash and dry your clothes.
