Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience for me. While the rooms were spacious and good, the smell of a mix of cigarettes and decade-old dust on the 2nd floor of the older building across the street was quite off-putting. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but one staff member definitely needs more training in customer service. The location was great for walking to the harbor and offered a lovely view of the river and 旗津 island. The dining options, though a mix of Western and Asian cuisine, could have been improved for a better breakfast experience.

I stayed at this hotel during my trip and had a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and well-laid out, but there was a weird and funny smell, like a new car or something chemical, which wasn't so nice. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, except for one staff member who still needs further training. The location was convenient, overlooking the river and 旗津 island, though not far from downtown. The dining options were decent, with an assortment of Western and Asian food, but could have been a little better for Westerners by Taiwan standards.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and conveniently located near the beautiful Kaohsiung Harbour, but they had an odd smell that resembled a combination of cigarettes and decade-old dust. The service was a bit of a letdown as they mistakenly gave my reserved room to someone else, indicating a need for improvement in their service training. Despite these drawbacks, the location was great for exploring the harbor and the nearby Ferry terminal to Cijin Island.

The hotel offers a great location with views of the river and 旗津 island. The rooms, although smaller than expected from the pictures, had a unique smell and were in the older building across the street. The service was generally professional, with a minor hiccup of giving my booked room to someone else, and some staff need further training. The dining options were decent but could have been better suited for western tastes. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights and drawbacks.

The hotel has a fabulous location overlooking the river, near the Kaohsiung harbor, and not far from downtown. The rooms have a mix of cigarettes and decade-old dust with little light and no view, though the strange chemical smell was not so nice. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, but there was one who needs further training as they offered the room I booked and paid for to someone else. The dining experience could benefit from more variety and better options for western guests. The hotel offers some decent facilities.
