Hotel berhampiran Eye of Gangshan, Kaohsiung

Having stayed at both Grand Hotels in Taipei and Kaohsiung, the Taipei location is hands down the premier location. The Grand Hotel in Taipei is genuinely a delightful establishment, perhaps my favorite hotel in all of Taiwan. However, the same cannot be said for the Kaohsiung location. It is clearly secondary and even a bit neglected. The hotel and its accommodations are fairly nice but at the same time feel quite outdated. The location is relaxing though, if you want to be able to sit by a pool or on a balcony looking out at a lake. Probably the biggest disappointment of my stay was that I was denied entry to the dinner buffet. People who were not guests at the hotel had already reserved all the seats. Luckily, I was able to secure a seat at a different restaurant in the hotel. I think hotel guests should have priority for seats at the buffet. When I was denied access to the buffet it felt like I was being treated as a second class citizen. “Everyone here has reservations…” the hostess told me. Well… how many of them were actually staying at the hotel? From what I could tell, not many of them were.

The location was OK.. Just 1 station away from Kaohsiung station. The staff were super helpful. This branch is better than their Taipei counterpart

We was gladly appreciate the staff given us upgrade to a two queens beds. We love the hotel as it was pretty nice and cosy. There is free laundry and dryer available. They also give customers free ice-cream. Thank you.

The hotel is really out of my expectation. The staff are very nice and helpful. The room is clean, especially the bathroom, the floor could keep dry even after the bath. There is a free concierge on ground floor. They serve tea, coffee, snack and even ice-cream! When you felt tired after a day of visit, this concierge really can relax you. Breakfast are with wide variety. Overall this hotel is value for money.

Large bed but a bit small room so not much space left to put luggage down. Quite clean, no window room btw. Not sure if i got headache from the AC straight to my bed or not but next day i turn it down so no more

在這樣的價位中出乎意外的好，距美麗島站大約步行10分鐘路程，前台態度親切，旅店沒有早餐，但這完全不是問題，附近幾百米內有無數的美食！走幾步就有超好吃的老牌鍋燒意麵，check in會給一張小地圖，可以按圖索驥。房間不是很大，放行李走道會有點窄，位置在一條支路，車輛少於是很安靜，不太會聽到外部喧嘩。美中不足是窗戶是對着民居or辦公樓，所以要一直拉着窗帘。飯店洗衣房有免費的洗衣機及洗衣粉，另有收費的烘乾機。

The room we got is really good, the only problem we encounter is the wifi connection it’s unstable.

I’m going to give this place a 7/10 just because the shower pressure was so good. But you guys have to improve on cleanliness! Furnitures are disintegrated and the wifi connection is poor! Breakfast is quite okay.

The hotel rooms are super clean and comfortable. Materials are good and new. Famous attractions of kaoshiung and even night markets are only walking distance from hotel. Beautiful lights near LOVE RIVER especially at night. Perfect place for families and travelers ( locals or foreigners ). Highly recommended.

Location: close to MRT and surrounded with variety of shops for food or quick shop for tourist. Room: size is great, you get everything you need and bathroom is clean is well. Water pressure is great, given this is a common problem for older building. But the bedding is quite uncomfortable, the blanket is literally just a piece of cover sheet which feels weird all night long. Insolation is average as you can hear people shutting door and partying at night. This is a budget hotel that you get what you paid for.
