Kindness Hotel - Kaohsiung Main Station

Great value for money hotel! The breakfast is included, and you have the option of packing your breakfast to-go. If taking breakfast to-go, the staff hand you 2 boxes and a cup for a drink, and very helpfully pack everything up with cutlery for you. The beds in the rooms are comfortable and spacious enough. There is also a rest area / cafe on the first floor that has free-flow hot drinks, biscuits and ice-cream 24/7, and you are able to claim one beer/juice per day per room. The washing machines and dryers are also free to use.

It is our first time staying in this branch and it exceeded our expectation. We are grateful for the entire staff/ team who have been nothing but friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms (both triple room and double rooms) were clean and sanitized properly. The beds were comfy and the pillows were soft but firm. Though the room was on the smaller side it was alright as they offered great amenities like a work area (where you could study/ work), there was also a lounge on the first floor next to the snack bar (with free snacks, chips, juices, coffee and tea). They also offered a free coupon per room which offered their own draft beer. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of food selections. We also appreciated the free laundry area next to the lounge. Apparently there's also the option to rent a bike for free but we never got to try this as our itinerary was quite hectic.

We chose this hotel because it is very convenient, located right in front of Kaohsiung Main Station. We arrived by car and although the hotel doesn’t have parking, we were able to park at the newly opened parking lot under the refurbished main station. We then took the train to Kaohsiung Stadium for a concert, very convenient. The hotel interior seems newly refurbished as well so it is clean and spacious enough. You can get a nice view of the main station with a city backdrop from the window. Breakfast is included and the staff are friendly. You can find fast food restaurants and convenience stores nearby!

Around the corner from the train station so very convenient to take day trips from also. Station is under construction so a little hectic around the area at the moment. Lots of bus options around the area, although because of the construction you need to check if a stop is closed or not. The check-in was easy and swift. There's a lounge area where you can help yourself to drinks and ice cream which is a nice touch. The room and bathroom were spacious. Some people commented on how outdated the decor is but I think it's the right level for the money you pay. Breakfast spread is huge with lots of both Asian and continental options. I appreciated the menu changed a little daily. Super polite and helpful dining room staff.
