Kindness Hotel (Kaohsiung Station)

Excellent location, convenient for getting around everywhere. The metro station is super close, and the Taiwan Railways station is also easily accessible, making it the best choice for exploring Kaohsiung and its surroundings. The breakfast spread is abundant, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Thumbs up!

Pros: The shower had excellent water pressure, making for a very comfortable wash. A special shout-out to the free, unlimited ice cream in the common lounge area – it was delicious! Cons: The room was a bit small, making it a little difficult to open my suitcase. The breakfast looked plentiful, but there wasn't actually much worth eating.

There's more than one Takahashi Inn around Kaohsiung Station, but this one is right across the street from the station, which was super convenient for me since I had a lot of luggage. The hotel breakfast was excellent; I particularly enjoyed the hot Chinese options like congee, stir-fries, and tremella soup. Their scallion oil crispy pastry was fantastic! (See picture 2). The hotel doesn't serve dinner, but the famous Liuhe Night Market is less than a ten-minute walk away (See picture 3). I especially loved the hotel's 24-hour self-service laundry room.
