Kaohsiung Gushan District 5-star Hotels

Great view, good location and next to a mall (e-sky mall) with supermarket and food court. Concierge and house keeping staff were the most helpful and friendly. They always had a smile, polite, and eager to help. The worst was executive lounge and front desk, borderline being rude. Their lounge (11/f) collected a birthday cake cutting fee (NT$500), even when we are hotel guest. Front desk reminded me several times of extra charge if late check out. The lobby cafe don’t know what is flat white and had no intention to find out what it is. I reckon their business is too good and don’t care about hospitality.

Breakfast was excellent. Both buffet and to order food with vegetarian option. Rooms were absolutely clean. Staff very helpful. Location super. Near night market, mall, 711 stores carrefour and mrt. Best hotel.

The shower was rusty and I used a shower filter that I took just in case. There are mosquitoes in the room and bathroom, so you need mosquito repellent. There are not many breakfasts and the taste is not that good. Overall, it seems to be a cost-effective accommodation for just sleeping.

I'm in a hurry to book a hotel, and I think this hotel is already the cheapest in Kaohsiung! It is generally more suitable to go home and sleep for one night before leaving; the service is good, there are waiters on the floors late at night, and they lay down the floor at night! 👍

The location is awesome - right opposite the Kaoshiung Main Station. It makes a lot of places convenient for us to travel to. I also feel that for the price paid, the hotel room is great enough (space, comfort of bed, cleanliness, etc). Things to improve can be more receptive responses from the receptionist and better breakfast options.

Nice hotel for a short stay with minimal luggage. Close to the station, friendly staff. The layout of room was a little odd with the sink right next to the bed.

The location is close to Kaohsiung Station and easy to find! There is a 24-hour convenience store downstairs, and there is also a 24-hour refrigerator and drinks in the lobby. The environment is peaceful! There is enough food for breakfast and the room is tidy! The rent is reasonably priced and you can walk to the nearby Jilin Street Night Market!

We had a great stay at CU Hotel Kaohsiung! Knowing it’s a ”self-service” hotel, we set our expectations accordingly, especially given the very affordable price. The location is excellent—just a 3-minute walk from Kaohsiung Main Station, making it super convenient for travelers. Check-in is self-service, and while I encountered some trouble with the touchscreen, a staff member was readily available via the phone and guided me through the process smoothly. Great service! The room was exceptionally spacious, which was a pleasant surprise. Even without windows, it didn’t feel dark or claustrophobic. The bathroom was a good size and even had a bathtub. Everything was very clean, and having a water dispenser on every floor was a nice touch. For this price point, it’s definitely a great value. I’d gladly stay here again!

Requested a quiet, non-smoking room, but when I entered the room I found urine stains on the toilet and the room smelled of cigarettes. I opened the window to get rid of the smell and found 4.5 cigarette butts on the windowsill. After I reported this to the hotel, they immediately helped me change rooms. After that, there were constant sounds of people coming in and out of the room next door, and a stranger knocked on my door in the middle of the night. The noise lasted all night and didn't stop until 2 a.m. . It felt like several consecutive rooms were occupied by people who knew each other and played until late at night, so it didn't feel very comfortable staying there.

We stayed here overnight before going to Tainan the next day. It's located on a quiet street a few minutes' walk from the train station. From there, it's easy to walk to the main streets for normal shopping needs. The desk person was very friendly, spoke English, and later brought an extra blanket to our room when we called and asked for it. The room itself was spotless and everything worked properly. The bathroom had a bath tub as well as a shower. I found the bed comfortable and slept well. We used the breakfast buffet the next morning, and found the room to be large, clean, and pleasant. The range of food was not spectacular, but this is not an expensive top-tier hotel. The food was perfectly adequate for a decent breakfast, and the staff continued to be friendly and helpful. There is also a small gym room which I did not get a chance to use. It's not a full-size gym, but there's enough equipment to have a pretty complete workout -- certainly good enough for someone who is traveling. If I am in Kaosiung again, I will definitely revisit this hotel.
