    Adding fly screens on the windows would be good. Otherwise, no complaints.

    I had a great stay at Kindness Hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful, location was excellent, and it was great to have breakfast included. The room was big and clean. Bed was comfortable. I appreciated being able to open the windows for fresh air. The wifi was decent though not perfect.

    We asked for 2 pillows in each bed and the lady at the reception advised us that only 1 pillow is given to each guest. This was a disappointment cuz we always request a 2nd pillow in hotels if only one is the bed. Plus the lady doesn’t speak English and was dependent on her translator, unlike the guys in the afternoon shift who speaks English well. The hotel needs to have an English speaking receptionist if it needs to attract tourists

    Breakfast carry a variety of options- very delicious. Location is just perfect

    Staff friendly but stuffily at breakfast. Reception clerk no clue about credit card authorisation and/or cancelling trying to convince you with false information: The hotel makes credit card authorisation (normal so far) but if you pay locally with a different card or in cash the still keep (for 4 weeks) the credit card reservation. But they tell you that they informed the bank and it will take one or two days (this is not true as I would see it immediately if it is cancelled or not; like any other hotel). Just be aware of that which spoils the wine.

    Very good location, exceptional services for the class.

    Be aware the rooms are a bit cosy (i.e had not much space to place and open two large suitcases with easy) but a minor issue and overall really enjoyed my stay

    The location is amazing being situated very close to Kaohsiung station so was very easy to get there, having travelled from Taipei via HRT and only required on change onto their local MRT. In terms of local attractions, most of them are to the South/West of the hotel so not many are easily walkable from the hotel but the MRT was very useful. The room was clean and I really enjoyed the breakfast offering a mixture of western and chinese breakfast so there were plenty of options. The staff were personable, conversing easily with them in English and had a little area by the entrance offering free ice cream which I sorely wished we had room to try and utilise.

    Our room smelled faintly of old cigarette smoke (though it was faint enough it could be ignored after a while)

    The room was spacious, the beds comfortable and the bathroom clean and well equipped. The breakfast buffet had a very wide array of options (both continental and Chinese) and the free ice cream available in the lobby was a nice touch. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the receptionist who first welcomed us spoke English well and gave us some tips for how to get around the city. Since we arrived before we could check into our room, we left our luggage in the lobby until for the day – this was handled in a very uncomplicated manner.

    In our room, both queen beds had one side so close to the wall which left no space for the second person to get into the bed except climbing from the end of the bed.

    Just a few minutes’ walk to the MRT and train station. Free parking, free self-serve laundry, free ice cream, beverages and snacks.

    Everything was perfect! There are 2 kindness hotels near the station so make sure you are at the right one.

    If I could I would give this hotel 11/10 ! We have been travelling all over the world for many years and never had this kind of service and for a reasonable price. Don´'t hesitate and stay at this hotel, you won´'t regret it.
