The property was conveniently located a few blocks from the Kaohsiung train station, making arrival via TRA and departure to the airport via MRT very easy.

The bed was comfortable, with a firm bed that helped after long days of sightseeing. This was not my first time at a Kindness hotel, and I booked it based on prior experience. I really like the snacks and drinks available at all times, as well as the daily breakfast.

The one thing I found a challenge was the laundry facilities. While it was nice that it was complimentary, it took much longer than expected to dry my clothes in the dryer (over 2 hours).

All in all, a very pleasant stay. I would go there again when in Kaohsiung another time.

This hotel was a great stay. We were upgraded to a bigger room so it was a really good size, the bathroom too had a shower and bathtub. Beyond the room, breakfast was included (taiwanese style) and there was free ice cream, coffee, tea, 24 hours a day.

Breakfast was pretty good.
Good value for money.
Location is very convenient. Halfway between two important metro stations Kaohsiung Station and Formosa Station
Staff was helpful. I ran into a situation where some Thai language exchange student had taken my laundry out to use the machine but 2 pcs of my clothing were left along with their load. I didnt want to grab my stuff myself as the student was a kid and i didnt want to br searching through a kid's clothes, so the staff helped to mediate with their teacher etc.

Incredibly enjoyable stay

Felt very comfortable during my entire stay at the hotel. Very clean. Breakfast was tasty and had a variety of choices. I was lucky to get a free upgrade to a family room on the first night. Some nitpicking—on lower floors the noises of the cars could sometimes be obvious. But overall it was an incredibly enjoyable stay and I would choose here again next time.

The window screens had large gaps of missing mesh where a flying bug enters the room. At midnight there’s people talking loudly, at times shouting out loud & noisy cars. I give highest rating for front desk staff that was so helpful to print out my flight boarding pass and for that I am very thankful it made my check-in so much easier!

1/ The breakfast was too little choice and repetitive and yet the same salad every morning was not prepare with heart. I end up to buying my fruits myself and prepare my hard boil eggs in my room.
2/ They have room service light but yet they are asking me every morning before breakfast if I need to makeup the room and what time...Better do it otherwise you won't get anything top-up like bottled drinking water.
3/ One plus point is that they provide 24hours free flow of coffee, ice cream and simple snack, but no supper as mentioned by many others
4/ Room was clean but the toilet is too small so much so that you need to closed the shower screen door before you can open the toil door and very narrow for you to use tower to dry yourself up.
5/ They told me needs to call taxi at least 20mins in advance but it come in 2 mins ended I ay waiting time fare and rushing for it and resulted some important receipt left in the room.
6/ Other than above, the location is good and staffs are friendly...

Its a simple hotel with free breakfast and free coffee + ice cream + munchies throughout the day. The place is clean and staff is polite. The location is superb. However ....

The staff caused us a huge headache. Five of us booked 5 rooms at this hotel on 4/23. Shortly after we checked in, we specifically and repeatedly asked the front desk to book us a car for us to to leave the hotel at 7:15AM on 4/24 for an event down south in the country side as well as some sightseeing afterwards. We all got up early to catch a bit of breakfast in order to depart on time. While having breakfast, we asked the front desk about the car. We then found out that the front desk was just started calling for car services. Not surprisingly there was no car to hire for the 5 of us plus one more person joining us. We had to instead call two taxis to get us to the event on time but we were strained after the event with no transportation for the day. Our sightseeing plan was of course destroyed and we had to find our way back to the city. Luckily we found a good samaritan who helped us get back to the city.

The hotel staff should have been more responsible and apologetic but they weren't. The only comment we got was \"ah, yes, the night shift didn't call for the car.\" Ya, we knew that. :-(

Hotel manager: Please take note of this comment and make sure such gross ignorance of responsibilities of your staff does not happen again to other hotel guests.

It is not the one directly facing the station, but the one that is 3-5 mins walk away.

Staff is polite and room is spacious and clean enough.The carpet looks like it can be cleaned more regularly, but the rest of the room was great.

Still a good choice to stay in Kaohsiung

Breakfast still less choice but improve with additional egg/pan cake corner.
Front desk staff only allowed 30minutes late check out, if more than 1 hr needs to charge NT$200/hr: Just curious in case room is not fully booked, why not give the hotel guest a favour to slightly late check out?
Asking to book one taxi from hotel to airport, the taxi driver claim luggage too many (but still can fit in as we are asking a Toyota Wish) and ask additional NT$100. Hotel will need to careful and calling good reputation taxi company.
Nice comfort room, free ice cream, but late checked in free supper no more (Serve until 10:30pm).

The room is really clean and comfortable. Besides the small and tiny size, everything else was great. The only issue that we find it surprised was, the toilet roll was not in front of u or near to your vicinity but right behind the toilet bowl. U have to turn and stretch to get ur toilet paper. However, that seemed to be Taiwan standard... The same thing happened in Taipei and Taichung...
The hotel is great on hospitality... Except one staff, the rest of the staff are super friendly, hardworking, cheerful and helpful. At the lobby, you can take as many wet tissue and pocket tissue as u like... Plus free good quality coffee and tea... And varieties of ice-cream. Sofa to enjoy a break was just so comfortable...they have many kindness hotel in Kaoshiung, u can choose what suits you.
