City Suites - Kaohsiung Chenai
Great hotel, I only stayed one night and have no complaints. I’m not a fan of having the toilet, shower and sink separate but I understand why that’s done (particularly among the fancier hotels)

Airline Inn - Kaohsiung Station
I found the staff all friendly and professional, the only thing I would suggest is a broader selection of meats in the morning besides chicken and pork, perhaps some fish or beef, same goes for vegetables. Other than that, a great place to stay!

HOTEL COZZI Zhongshan Kaohsiung
The room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. I loved the nice view from the window. The restaurant was popular with lots of guests, but dining felt a bit rushed.
