3-Star Hotels in Kaohsiung

Because I was going to see the TWS VR concert movie at Kaohsiung Far Eastern Department Store, I wanted to find a hotel nearby and chose Kindness Hotel (Kaohsiung Sanduo Shopping District Branch). To my surprise, it exceeded all my expectations! Not only were the staff friendly and polite, but the coffee bar also offered unlimited free drinks 24 hours a day, and they were delicious! The environment was as beautiful as a Starbucks; you could even call it an Instagrammable cafe! After checking in, I found the room to be incredibly soundproof, clean, spacious, and beautiful! I was truly satisfied with my stay! It completely washed away all the fatigue from a day of traveling. The next day, I enjoyed a delicious hotel breakfast, and every dish was plentiful! They really aren't afraid of guests eating a lot! I still had some plans for the second day, so I stored my luggage at the hotel, which was very convenient! The next time I come to Kaohsiung, I still want to stay here. Thank you to all the hotel staff for your dedication! You all worked hard! ❤️

Check-in and check-out were very smooth, with the front desk staff being friendly and efficient. There's a coffee corner on the first floor, but to my dismay, when I wanted a drink in the morning, there were no coffee beans at all! It was there, but unusable. On the other hand, there are water dispensers on each floor, which is very convenient for refilling water. The water pressure in the room's shower was excellent, making for a very comfortable shower experience. (Though, for some reason, the water pressure at the sink was really weak...) However, the blackout curtains in the room have a serious design flaw. They don't fully block out the sunlight, leaving significant gaps on both sides. Around 6 AM, intense light streams directly onto the pillow and headboard, making it impossible to go back to sleep. My sleep quality was severely affected for several consecutive days, which greatly diminished an otherwise good stay. I suggest the hotel install more effective blackout curtains (they really need to completely cover the window without any gaps) to ensure guests can enjoy a good resting environment, even at dawn.

The entire environment is very clean and comfortable, highly recommended. The breakfast is light, healthy, and nutritious, perfect for travelers, business trips, or family vacations. The transportation is convenient, and the service is friendly and professional! Highly recommend to everyone.

The twin room had a 1.5-meter bed, which was huge and super comfy. It was awesome for watching movies at night. The common area on the second floor was also really nice, and they even provided breakfast, snacks, and ice cream!

Everything about the environment and service was top-notch. It's a shame they don't have their own parking lot, but they do have a partner parking service that offers a 200 discount daily, which is pretty good. Whenever we encountered an issue, the staff were very proactive in helping us resolve it.

Fantastic hotel, excellent value for money. The location is super convenient with great transport links nearby, and the staff are incredibly friendly and polite. The hotel is very well-maintained and spotless. They even turn on the lights and A/C in your room before you check-in, which is a nice touch. It's also non-smoking and pet-free, so the room always smells fresh and clean, with no unwelcome odors. Highly recommend!

I had a very satisfying stay this time! The hotel environment was comfortable and tidy, and the staff were friendly and courteous. My favorite part was the breakfast restaurant with its high ceilings, making the space feel spacious and bright, complemented by large windows that let in plenty of natural light, instantly putting you in a good mood for the morning. The breakfast selection was rich, and the food was delicious and fresh. Enjoying breakfast in such a comfortable setting was especially relaxing. Overall, the accommodation quality was excellent, highly recommended, and I'll definitely stay here again! 😊🏨✨

Single’s Inn was a functional and reasonably priced stay for three nights. The location is one of its strongest advantages: the inn is around a ten-minute walk from the main station, where buses, local railway services, bus stations, and the metro are all easily accessible. Breakfast and a small hot pool is included, and guests are provided with pyjamas, slippers, one regular towel, and one smaller towel. The inn also has a laundry room and a common room. The staff were able to communicate in both Mandarin and English. Overall, the inn offers the type of experience one might reasonably expect at this price point: basic, convenient, and sufficient for a short stay. The main limitation is sound insulation. The walls and doors are very thin, and I could hear people in nearby rooms coughing, talking, and snoring. Noise from the corridor was also noticeable, including doors opening and closing, people walking in slippers, and general movement. Sounds from the washroom, especially hair dryers and doors being opened or closed, were also easy to hear from the room. The hair dryer in the women’s area worked well, but became a recurring noise issue in combination with poor soundproofing. Overall, Single’s Inn worked adequately for a short stay, especially due to its proximity to transportation and the inclusion of breakfast and basic amenities. However, I would not personally stay here for more than two nights, particularly as someone sensitive to noise. Single’s Inn 是一間功能性足夠、價格合理的住宿，住三晚整體來說可以接受。地點是它最大的優點之一：旅館距離主要車站大約步行十分鐘，附近可以搭乘公車、台鐵、客運和捷運，交通相當方便。住宿包含早餐和熱水池，房客也會提供睡衣、拖鞋、一條一般尺寸的毛巾和一條小毛巾。館內另外設有洗衣房和公共休息空間。工作人員很樂於協助，也能用中文和英文溝通。整體而言，以這個價位來看，Single’s Inn 提供的是可以合理預期的住宿體驗：基本、方便，並且足以應付短期停留。 主要限制在於隔音。牆壁和門都很薄，我在房間內可以聽到附近房間的人咳嗽、說話和打呼。走廊的聲音也很明顯，包括開關門、穿拖鞋走路，以及其他一般走動聲。洗手間的聲音同樣容易傳進房間，尤其是吹風機和門開關的聲音。女性區的吹風機本身很好用，但在隔音不佳的情況下，反而成為持續性的噪音問題。整體空間配置也讓人感覺樓層設計較偏向盡可能容納更多房間或床位，而隔音與舒適度似乎並不是最優先考量。 總體來說，Single’s Inn 作為短期住宿是可以的，尤其是交通位置方便，並且包含早餐和基本備品。不過，若是對聲音比較敏感，我個人不會建議住超過兩晚。

We really enjoyed our stay here! The building was rundown and obviously very old when looked at from the outside, the hotel is on the 16th floor but we really liked our room. The staff did a good job accommodating us and explaining the rules. They gave us tea, coffee and water along with a kettle during our stay, there was a common area for guests to relax and enjoy their time when not in their room and the bathroom was lovely, not like typical ones in Taipei at all. It was a little cramped but the shower was huge and was separated from the toilet by a glass door. Overall, extremely good value for money.

There were a few issues during my stay that I feel are worth mentioning for future guests. Before arrival, I received a very large number of automated messages from the hotel in a short space of time. Unfortunately, some of the information provided was inconsistent - including one message containing a different and incorrect address shortly after the original check-in information was sent. There were also conflicting details regarding the WiFi password. While these may seem minor individually, receiving repeated messages with inaccurate information became confusing rather than helpful. If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, I would also be cautious when booking here. Despite the property stating that smoking is not permitted, there was a noticeable smell of smoke throughout the accommodation during my stay. One thing I would strongly encourage the hotel to reconsider is placing guests’ full legal names visibly on room doors. While intended as a welcoming gesture, as a solo female traveller I personally did not feel comfortable having my full name publicly displayed where other guests could easily see it. The electronic door handle to my room also felt quite loose and unstable, which was slightly concerning from a security perspective. In terms of cleanliness, the property did not appear quite as polished as the listing photos suggest. There were visible smudges on windows, along with marks and general wear throughout the room. On a positive note, the bedding and towels were clean and fresh-smelling, which I appreciated.
