"Location is excellent as its near all tourist places, even though the place is quiet and nice to stay. We also got free bicycle renting to explore things around there too, this is not note in hotel facility, but hotel has got it. My mom needs to sit on wheelchair, but the place is quite convenient to her to get service in hotel. The room is clean, bed is great, toilet equipped with warm seat as well. I like the soap and shampoo at hotel, smell is so nice. At the guest lobby my kid is happy with snack, drink that provided, also i can have coffee at all the time from there as well..
i think we made right decision that we stayed here for 2 nights, the time was great there. thanks for good service."
"The service was incredibly warm and friendly.
The breakfast was delicious (though not ideal if you're a big meat-eater, as there wasn't much meat), and for our two-night stay, the hot dishes were never repeated. Plus, you get a great ocean view from the restaurant seating.
The hotel is located in Cijin. We took the ferry from Hamasen MRT (light rail) station to Cijin, walked through the old street to the hotel. There's a FamilyMart and 7-Eleven nearby, so you don't have to worry about going hungry. The beach is just a five-minute walk away, and they even provide buckets and shovels for playing in the sand.
Just a quick note: there are two ferry routes to Cijin – one from Gushan Ferry Terminal (NT$30) and another from Pier-2 Art Center (NT$80). The ferries from Gushan, though a bit older, are much more frequent (less than a 10-minute wait between boats, and I'm not sure about off-peak times) and run for much longer hours (I heard from 5 AM to 2 AM).
The hotel room was quite spacious but a bit dated (my only complaint), though it was very clean."
"The harbor views are absolutely breathtaking, and breakfast is health-conscious and nourishing, perfect for relaxing and taking stunning photos.
However, the room only provided two miniature bottles of water, and there's no water dispenser, so tea enthusiasts will be left parched 🥲.
You have to pay extra for toothbrushes and toothpaste. The 10 CNY set was a terrible purchase; the toothpaste was so dry, it felt like it had been sealed for an eternity.
At 10:40 AM, there was a 'friendly' reminder about extending our stay, then at 11:00 AM sharp, the power was cut, feeling like a timed mission in an RPG ⚡.
It's great for enjoying the scenery, but not for guests who prioritize attentive service, especially if they're not already enamored with the place 😅.

"The location is great, about a 7-minute walk from Cianjin MRT station. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful. The first room we were assigned was quite noisy, and we had to contact the front desk twice to change rooms before we found one we were happy with. The staff were very accommodating and helped us change rooms each time. Having a coin-operated laundry room was also very convenient!"
"The hotel location is quite convenient; there is a convenient stall a short stroll away and is near to the metro at Kao Hsiung park. The lightings were quite nice as it is near CNY period. Room that I book kinda cozy but the way it is design makes it rather comfortable. The bed is comfortably huge. Toilet and bath is two separate rooms and would be a pleasure for those who like such arrangement.
Breakfast is base on set menu booking, there is only 4 to select from. The misgiving I had is that trip.com didn't allow had to option of a room with single breakfast therefore I had to pick a room with either 2 sets a day or no breakfast. If your staying more days, do take note of the breakfast arrangement though I have to say the meal is quite healthy and well packaged. Another thing which I like is the AI display audio system which can play music of your preference, for me I played some nice new age music to make my day more relaxing."
"Having stayed at the Xinxing branch before, this was my first time at the Yancheng branch, and I must say I was a bit disappointed compared to my previous experience.
We booked a twin room this time. The bathroom was quite small, and there was only one usable power outlet in the room; the other two were occupied by the fridge and TV. When I asked the front desk if they had an extension cord or anything similar to borrow, they said no. I understand that the hotel is a renovation of an older property, so it can't be perfect, but modern travelers bring many electronic devices that need charging. Having only one usable outlet is simply not enough, and this is an area that definitely needs improvement."
"Hotel Review (Safety Concern):
The hotel provided some small complimentary items like facial masks and instant noodles, which I understand are meant to create a pleasant experience for guests.
However, I personally feel that no small amenities can outweigh a basic safety concern.
The room was generally clean, but the bedding was not very comfortable — the duvet cover did not feel like pure cotton and was less breathable than expected.
More importantly, the bed design is potentially unsafe. The headboard is made of hard wood with sharp, square edges and no cushioning. It is also positioned at a very low height — exactly where your head naturally moves when lying down. I accidentally hit my head quite hard, and I am still feeling pain even now.
I chose not to raise this issue during my stay because I did not want to cause trouble. I understand everyone is working hard, and negative reviews can impact business. However, safety is something that should not be overlooked.
I hope the hotel can take this seriously and consider making improvements. For future guests, please be extra careful when lying down."
"Toilet is much higher than the room floor level - dangerous for older people. Water pressure is strong but does not drain fast enough so our shower area was flooded while bathing. The lighting was poor - only one light inside so you had no light in the shower area due to the shower curtain. A lot of artwork and unique furniture which makes the hotel unique. You can see they try to make the place look nicer but it feels patchy and could use a complete overhaul. Receptionist is around for a limited time."
"The location is very convenient, as it is very close to the MRT, making it easy to travel around
The room was spacious, clean, and well equipped with amenities such as a hair dryer, towels, soap, and shampoo, which made the stay very comfortable
We were also pleasantly surprised to find a large onsen style bathtub in the bathroom, which made the stay even more relaxing
However, guests need to bring their own toothpaste and toothbrush. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better🫰🏻❤️"
"This hotel is in a great location, close to Pier-2 Art Center. It's not far from Yanchengpu Station on the MRT Orange Line, and about a 19-minute walk to Hamasen Station on the light rail.
Just a heads-up, there's no elevator! The 6-person rooms are on the 3rd floor, and the 4-person rooms are on the 4th floor. If you're in a 4-person room, there are no bathrooms or toilets on the 4th floor, so you'll have to go down to the 3rd floor to use them. Also, the bunk beds are quite wobbly; any movement or turning over will cause a creaking sound."

Outstanding
RRJHL5Great location less than 20 minutes from KHH airport. It is within 8 minutes walking distance from SOGO for those who love to shop department stores.
There are 7-11s ( more than one!) Family Marts and a PX Mart (grocery store) along each road. Very convenient.
The drinks at 7-11 will be cheaper priced than Family Mart and PX Mart and sometimes they will have a BOGO on select items ( I got an extra baby wipe pack by sheer luck).
The Family Mart will have more unique items (ex Kombucha, health teas etc). The food selection for both places will be a bit limited for grab and go eats. Think sweet pastries and snacks. They do have some sandwiches but not super healthy if you are vegetarian.
The hotel has complementary breakfast that starts at 6:30am ends at 10am. It is a buffet the fills up the entire room. There is a wonderful mix of local foods, one Western style pot.
There is a small salad bar, fruit bar, coffee/tea and a small short order cook that will fry up 4 items (eggs, scallion onion omelette, turnip cakes). There is an other side has at least 10 varieties of local foods.
The quality is great! Not too oily, 2 congee pots ( regular and Hong Kong Style). Fruits include what is season (Guava, apples, watermelon) and oranges, bananas.
I will warn you about the late night snack (Dim Sum) buffet. Located on same floor and it starts at 7pm. That is a busy mad house. The line to queue up starts earlier and it will go down the hall to the stairwell.
Lots of tour buses come to this location and tour groups will flood in each week during season. I went during early April for 9 days.
I would go to breakfast at 8 am and skipped the nighttime crush. Restaurants are readily available all around and very affordable.
This hotel comes with complimentary laundry DIY and laundry powder soap. Make sure you write your room number on the dry erase placard and stick it on each machine you use. Otherwise another guest may accidentally throw their items in and use the machine. The dryers are on top so hard to see what’s on the bottom.
There is a free lounge in the lobby that has complimentary ice cream, coffee/tea and jasmine flavored gelatin cups. You can sit there all day if you like and sip on a free espresso or other drink.
This hotel comes with a lot of amenities at a reasonable rate— I will stay here again next time.
KKatherine PeiExcellent hotel! The rooms are spacious, and the bed was really comfortable. The soundproofing was decent. The breakfast was fantastic – you can choose from a menu, plus there's a buffet, and they even have Haagen-Dazs ice cream. They also provide complimentary drinks and snacks in the room, which was a very thoughtful touch.
PpohkThis was my third stay at this hotel since its grand opening. I visit Kaohsiung about every six months, and overall the experience has been consistently pleasant. The facilities are well designed and maintained , and the staff are friendly and professional
.
There was one issue during this stay—the shower drainage was clogged, so I had to use the bathtub instead. This is something that ideally shouldn’t happen at all, but the hotel’s response was okay. They came to fix it next morning as it was late.
The soundproofing and AC are excellent. I especially enjoyed the hot spring and the gym, both of which are well equipped and relaxing. I didn’t include the buffet breakfast this time, as I preferred grabbing local drinks, buns, and snacks from the 7‑Eleven or FamilyMart just across the street as well as leaving room for lunch later.
The desserts at the lobby café were delightful, and the Japanese restaurant was absolutely divine. It’s just a pity that I didn’t know the omakase needs to be pre-booked. The restaurant doesn’t reserve seats for hotel guests or ask about this in advance, which was a bit disappointing. The set menu was very nice.
Overall, it’s still a hotel I enjoy staying.
AAnonymous UserThe Hotel is located in the convenience transportation Location. Easy for traveling to other areas, close to the hotel also having fast food and convenience store. The hotel itself is clean you can leave the luggage before your check in. I like the common area next to the reception. It's nice and having snack and drink for Hotel guest. Quite impressive. If Having a chance will come back again.
GGuest UserPAPO’A Harbor Hotel – A Charming Stay by the Harbor in Kaohsiung
During our trip to Kaohsiung, we decided to stay at PAPO’A Harbor Hotel, and it turned out to be a great choice for exploring the creative harbor district of the city.
The hotel is located just a short walk from Pier-2 Art Center, one of the most vibrant and artistic areas in Kaohsiung. The neighborhood is filled with street art, converted warehouses, cafés, and galleries, making it a perfect place to wander around both during the day and in the evening. Being able to walk back to the hotel after exploring the area was a big plus.
One of the things that makes PAPO’A Harbor Hotel unique is its character. The building used to be a harbor staff dormitory and has been thoughtfully renovated into a boutique hotel. The design blends industrial elements with modern minimal touches, giving the space a calm and slightly artistic atmosphere that fits perfectly with the surrounding Pier-2 district.
Our room was simple but very comfortable. The bed was cozy, the room was clean, and everything felt well maintained. While the hotel focuses more on design and location than luxury facilities, it provides everything you need for a pleasant stay. Some rooms even offer partial views of the harbor, which adds to the experience of staying in this port city.
Another great advantage is transportation. The Light Rail stop is only a few minutes away, making it easy to reach other parts of Kaohsiung such as Love River, Central Park, or connect to the MRT system.
Overall, PAPO’A Harbor Hotel is a lovely boutique stay for travelers who appreciate design, convenience, and a relaxed harbor atmosphere. It may not be a large luxury hotel, but its charm, location, and unique character make it a memorable place to stay in Kaohsiung.
AAnonymous UserEverything was good during my stay in this hotel. The lighting of the room was a bit too dim for me, but it wasn't a problem during the day as there was plenty of sunlight from the window. What I like about is that they put a coffee table and an armchair by the window, making it quite enjoyable to do some reading during the day. The location is a okay, around 10-15 minutes walk from the closest MRT station. The way to the station was clear and had a variety of local shops to explore.
MMiss BeanEasy to find the location. The owner were very understanding and kind since we arrived almost late from the check in time, they speak english. The view were so beautiful especially at night. There is an in-house police in the building as well as 711 convenience store. And outside there are lots of convenience store to be found. The train station is very near too. And also the elavator is very spacious.
SSamPon KAs sudden business trip, I arrived at Kaoshiung airport that feels an old school beauty. The hotel has YouTube enable TV and bed was one of the best I’ve slept on.
Even though the flight was super early.
Ttina0125333The room and bathroom were clean, and the location was convenient. The public bath was very relaxing, highly recommended for solo travelers. Breakfast was just average, so no need to specifically add it on. The soundproofing was a bit poor; you could hear people walking in the hallway and doors opening and closing on the same floor. However, they did provide earplugs, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a comfortable stay.
AAnselAdamsVery friendly staff.
Located just before the Kaohsiung Train Station.
For free breakfast, you ordered when checked in, they gave
a small brown bag.
,, Why wouldn't u refill your tumbler with peach tea or milk tea?,,
