Kaohsiung Hostels

This hotel definitely deserves a special shout-out! My experience was fantastic right from check-in. For those who enjoy culinary experiences, I highly recommend checking out their 'one night, two meals' package. I loved the ice cream with nachos at the ground floor cafe. The evening snacks and breakfast on the second floor were also delicious. While it might not have the extensive variety of a typical star-rated hotel buffet, it offers a great chance to try various local snacks. Every single braised meat, minced pork, and topping was incredibly flavorful, and I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of a rice cooker so you could serve yourself hot rice. You could really tell that the restaurant staff and managers were genuinely dedicated to service and food quality, constantly moving around and attending to guests. The room was spotless, and the lighting was much brighter than what you'd typically find in comparable hotels. The bathroom was also more spacious. The only minor drawback was a gap of about 1cm under the room door, which made me think the soundproofing might not be great. However, I wasn't disturbed by any noise from outside during my stay.

We were extremely impressed with our stay at this hotel! We absolutely loved the unlimited snacks available throughout the day, including coffee, tea, junk foods, and especially the ice cream. One of the highlights of our stay was the complimentary 24-hour laundry service, which was very convenient and added great value to our experience. The breakfast buffet exceeded our expectations with its wide variety of delicious dishes. Our room was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, providing the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The hotel's location was also excellent and convenient for exploring the area. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and outstanding amenities. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is within walking distance to the night market Ruifeng. Very convenient. Room is spacious, clean and comfy. Comfortable 1 night day. Furthermore, they provide free toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste and shower caps. Decent breakfast too.

I booked this hotel because of next day flight. However, this hotel still needs to be access by taxi. Hotel is quiet, room is clean. 2 Water bottles are avb. Theres no facilities avb in this hotel except breakfast and almost all day coffee/tea and chips/biscuits (forgot the exact time). Nevertheless, the breakfast is really below so so, all food is not warm at all and limited choices. We finally went to Starbucks across the street.

• **Affordable Price:** A quadruple room during a holiday weekend was around NT$2400, averaging only NT$800 per person. • **Shared Spaces:** There's a common area on the top floor, perfect for a simple meal or relaxation. • **Excellent Location:** Within walking distance to Liuhe Night Market and Love River, ideal for tourists. --- **Recommendations & Notes** • **Best for:** Travelers on a short trip who prioritize convenient transportation and value for money. • **Not suitable for:** Business travelers who require modern facilities or a stable internet connection. • **Dining heads-up:** The hotel doesn't have a restaurant; guests will need to eat out or use the common area for meals. • **Parking:** The hotel doesn't have its own parking lot, so it's advisable to plan parking in advance. --- **Overall Verdict** Kaohsiung Island Tour Hostel is an affordable and conveniently located budget accommodation, suitable for tourists on short stays. Its strengths lie in its location and value for money, while its drawbacks are outdated facilities and an unstable internet connection. If you value transportation and price, it's a good choice; if comfort and reliable amenities are a priority, you might want to consider other hotels.

The room was spacious and clean, and opening the curtains revealed an unbeatable sea view – perfect for enjoying the scenery. The owner was incredibly helpful, providing us with all sorts of information about Kaohsiung and anything else we wanted to know. So kind! A truly perfect experience.

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.

My stay here was absolutely fantastic. The room was much more spacious than I expected, very comfortable, and impeccably clean, which made for a truly relaxing experience. The breakfast spread was extensive and delicious, I looked forward to it every morning. A major plus was the private garage, offering secure and convenient parking – a real thoughtful touch for travelers driving. The overall environment was quiet, and the staff were all very friendly. If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose this hotel and wholeheartedly recommend it to my friends and family.

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.
