2-Star Hotels in Kaohsiung

The place was very clean and the staff were kind, polite, and spoke English well. They explained everything clearly from the beginning and gave me a full tour of the property. There is a dining area, and before taking the elevator, you need to change your shoes. Each guest has a room number and should place their shoes in the matching shoe rack. I recommend adding the hotel’s Line account — they will send all the details there. No key is needed to access the room; everything is done using codes. The room is spacious and has a large locker for storage. The shared bathroom was clean and fully equipped with essentials like a toothbrush and towels (including small ones). There is also a modern laundry area that connects two parts of the building through the same door — it feels like one place, not two. It’s about a 5-minute walk from the BTS station, which is very convenient. The only downside is that the entrance was confusing when I first arrived. The map pin showed a laundromat, but the actual entrance is on the back side of the building. Overall, a great stay. I recommend it.

Hi everyone! I’m a foreigner and have been living in Taiwan for three years. In February, I traveled alone to Kaohsiung. After the cold weather in Hsinchu, it was a wonderful decision to stay there. I booked Zola Hotel because it’s within easy reach of the famous pagoda and pond. The hotel offers great hospitality, is perfectly clean, and has modern facilities. There was even a coffee machine in the room. I really enjoyed my stay and, for the first time in Kaohsiung, I slept very well. I’ve stayed at five-star hotels before, but they were less convenient and not as new. The hotel also provides a food area where guests can enjoy free cookies, fruit (bananas and oranges), coffee, tea, and drinking water. Thank you for your outstanding service and hospitality! By the way, luggage storage is available upon request. The receptionists are very nice and friendly, and they speak English very well, so there is no communication barrier. The hotel is just an 8-minute walk from Kaohsiung Arena MRT Station. I will definitely come back again.

The 6F area with the kitchen is awesome! I didn't expect so many things. The place to hang the clothes is very convenient as well. But I was surprised to realize that the solo rooms are in the basement. On the post it on the key, the 1 next to B was written very small and the 4 made me wonder if I was on the 4th floor at first. It got me confused because 4F would have meant an F and not a B (for the basement). Since they do not have a 4th floor, though, it became obvious I had to go down. The elevator doesn't go down there, though. I also heard people use the hairdryer around midnight three nights in a row. The walls/doors are really thin so you can hear it all. I would recommend potentially putting a note to ask guests not to use the hairdryer after 10 or 11PM for other guests? I find it a bit disrespectful but it might be a culture shock (and doesn't impact the service of the place overall, not their fault people do that!) {Of course you can also bring and wear earplugs when you go to sleep so you won't hear your neighbors either.}

Fantastic! It's very cozy, clean, and convenient. Everyone in the common areas was very respectful and orderly. We ended up staying an extra night due to a typhoon, and all three of us were extremely satisfied. We'll definitely consider staying here again next time we're in Kaohsiung! It's also excellent value for money. 🤓🤓 I highly recommend it! 🌹 (The attached photos show the small basket, hangers, and small locker – these are thoughtful touches I particularly appreciated!)

Just a 2-minute walk from Liuhe Night Market, this hotel is conveniently located in Kaohsiung city center, only 3 minutes from Formosa Boulevard Station. There's a bar downstairs, perfect for a relaxing drink before bed. However, they only operate the elevator with a password, which was a bit confusing to find when I first checked in. Once I got the customer service number from a pillar by the entrance, it became much easier.

Good location, walking distance to formosa interchange which connects the redline to airport, highspeed rail, ruifeng night market and yellowline to the pier area to access qijin island. There is even a night market liouhe which is only 1min walk away! I actly liked this small night market more than the large ruifeng one as there are many tables to sit down and eat. Breakfast and self service washing machines are available too. And extension only costs 150NTD per hour.. very convenient. Only bad thing was lack of plugs. See third image. Whole room only had these sockets and they are too close such that it is viable to only use 1 plug at a time.

I recently stayed at Ox Suites in the Yancheng district of Kaohsiung, and it was an exceptional experience. Ron and his wife run a fantastic little serviced apartment that’s clean, modern, and minimalist, yet equipped with everything you might need—and more. The apartment was spotless, and the minimalist design made it feel spacious and comfortable. Ron went above and beyond by providing a comprehensive list of things to do in the Yancheng area, which was incredibly helpful. If you only have three nights, like I did, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy just in Yancheng and nearby Cijin. Their recommendations were spot on, and they were always just a message away if I needed anything or had any questions. The location is also a major plus. It’s just a short walk to Yancheng station on the orange line, making it easy to get around. You can easily reach the hotel with just one change of train line from the HSR Station. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and will definitely be back the next time I’m in Kaohsiung. Highly recommended!

I only stayed one night but I got a little upgrade from a 8 beds room to a 4 beds room because they had school kids coming that night. I was on the last floor (6th) and the room was big enough and clean. I use earplugs and eye mask since they don't have curtains for privacy. If you're on the top bed, the plugs are only down (at least in that specific room). The area is calm.

The guesthouse uses a self-check-in system, with check-in hours from 4 PM to 10 PM. If you need to check in after 9 PM, you may not be able to contact the staff immediately, and emergency calls will only be answered after hours. It's recommended that anyone planning a late check-in contact the guesthouse in advance to avoid panic. Check-in is via Line, which is posted on the door. The rooms are generally comfortable and clean.

The location is great for transit, eating and shopping. The rooms are ample, nicely decorated, felt new and clean. Breakfast is good and there are complimentary steamed buns, juices, coffee, teas and ice cream available at any hour. Staff are friendly. They speak little or no English, but that’s not a problem with translation apps. Only issues are weak wifi that only worked on the ground floor and not consistently, and the fact that cigarette smoke sometimes travels either through the ventilation system or because the doors don’t close tightly. Sound also travels but guests were discreet so that was not an issue. The hotel isn’t suited for anyone with mobility issues as there is a step to the front door, another to reception and three more to the elevator. No ramps. There is even a step from the bedroom to the bathroom. Very odd. Overall a very good stay.
