Hotel King's Town

“Old but well maintained”

The King's Town Hotel is a bit hidden away at the back entrance of Kaohsiung Main Station, but it was clean, quiet and had a very comfortable bed. The problem with location is having to pass through the TRA station to reach to main street and the MRT. Despite this, the hotel represents great value.

“Excellent Cost/Performance”

Although the building is old, but the room was clean and comfortable. The location is quiet good, not noisy, very convenient. For the overall conditions, this hotel has a good price. I may consider it again.

“Clean room, average stay.”

The hotel is located across the road from the old Kaohsiung Rear Station (which was a plus point in the past, but irrelevant now that the Rear Station is closed). It's a 10 minutes walk from the current Kaohsiung Train Station and Kaohsiung Metro Station. This is an old hotel that probably has not… more

The hotel is located across the road from the old Kaohsiung Rear Station (which was a plus point in the past, but irrelevant now that the Rear Station is closed). It's a 10 minutes walk from the current Kaohsiung Train Station and Kaohsiung Metro Station. This is an old hotel that probably has not been renovated for a long time. The room I had was clean, spacious, but the furniture was old, the carpet was worn; some of the drawers did not even function well. The room had adequate lightings, though I'd have preferred more lights. My room was on a high floor, and towards the back of the hotel. The window looked out to the next building and offered not much view. The environment was quiet, though. Internet access speed was surprisingly good (or, better than some other newer hotels): I measured download speed of 55 Mbps! The wifi was mostly stable. Breakfast starts at 6:30 am. The first morning when I arrived at the dining hall, the place was packed and I could hardly find a place to have breakfast. The hotel mainly caters to tour groups (many of them from a neighbouring country), so you'd have put up with the crowd. Breakfast spread was purely Chinese style. They provide Chinese buns and Chinese-style dishes. They only provide hard-boiled eggs cooked in Chinese tea, and not even scrambled eggs or eggs cooked in other styles. The only non-Chinese-style items were the bread! While the room was OK, I would probably not stay here again. With the same price, I could have gotten a hotel at a better location with a better environment.

“Located on the wrong side of the train station”

Located behind the Kaohsiung train station, which is a pretty 5-10 minutes walk to the underground trains and subways. Buffet breakfast is OK and the hotel serves mainly tour groups. Not much activities in the 5 minutes walk radius. Good for its pricing and would recommend anyone who wants a … more

Not much activities in the 5 minutes walk radius. Good for its pricing and would recommend anyone who wants a really good deal.
