The staff are friendly and provide excellent service, ensuring that guests feel well taken care of. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, with the added bonus of having a bathtub for a relaxing soak.

    The staff was very nice. The water dispenser and the crackers were great. Fast washing service. The room was big and had a balcony with a swing.

    The blanket was not covered and in the bathroom the floor was wet. There was probably a leak in one of the seals.

    Staying at this hotel was a great start to my trip. the location is fantastic with a vibrant night market close by and easy access to public transportation. the rooms are creatively designed with unique themes and comfortable amenities like swings and good air conditioning. the staff is helpful and informative about the surrounding area.

    The bathroom could be improved, as it is quite small and needs renovation.

    I recently had a 3-day stay at this hotel and I must say, I was really impressed. the attention to detail in the room decor was amazing. Each room has its own unique theme, making it a truly memorable experience. Secondly, the location of the hotel is absolutely convenient. It is just a short walk away from the Formosa MRT station, which makes it really easy to explore the city. Lastly, I was very pleased with the service provided by the staff. They were friendly, helpful, and even offered to assist with our laundry.

    No major issues, everything was satisfactory.

    The hotel stands close to a popular MRT station, which is perfect for exploring the city. It's just a few minutes' walk away from a convenience store, which was handy when we needed a quick snack or drink. our room was spacious and elegantly decorated, which gave it a cozy and homey vibe.

    We were disappointed that the hotel did not provide us with complimentary toothbrushes. Another downside was that the hotel key had to be kept at the reception desk, which was an inconvenience when we wanted to quickly access our rooms.

    We had a great stay at this hotel located opposite the Liu He night market. The staff was really awesome- very friendly and helpful. They gave us a list of food options that we should try around the city and the recommendations did not disappoint! We also found the location of the hotel to be very convenient as it is just a short walking distance from Kaohsiung MRT station, Formosa Boulevard. The hotel facilities were excellent too with a clean and cozy atmosphere. Lastly, their breakfast was commendable!

    Nothing could have been better.

    Spacious and comfortable rooms with unique themes. Convenient location near Liohe Night Market. Friendly and helpful hotel owners. Free tea, snacks, and amenities. Walking distance to Formosa Station and Kaohsiung Train hub. Good suggestions for local food.

    This hotel is a hidden gem in terms of value for money. The room rates are affordable, especially considering the spaciousness and well-designed layout of the rooms. One unique aspect that sets this hotel apart is the inclusion of swings in some of the rooms, adding a fun and playful touch to your stay. The hotel's attention to detail can be seen in the complimentary snacks and amenities provided, which make you feel well taken care of. Additionally, the convenient location near Kaohsiung MRT station Formosa Boulevard allows for easy access to explore the city.

    No negatives were mentioned, everything was perfect.

    Spent Easter at this hotel and had a pretty good time. the staff was very friendly and helpful, giving us excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions. the location was also a plus, as it was within walking distance of public transportation and a night market with plenty of seafood options. We also appreciated the free washing machine and rooftop area for drying clothes.

    the bed sheets were scratchy and the decor felt a bit outdated.
