    A reasonable stay for a family with small children but don’t expect to standard 4-star comforts.

    The family designer room had no closet or shelves for packing out belongings, with only two wall hooks to hang clothes - leaving half the floor filled with open suitcases. There was also no desk and chair (as in photos) with only a tiny coffee table and coach with a kids plastic play table and chairs, which is not comfortable for a family staying for for more than a night or two. We requested from staff a small table but there was none available.

    Facilities for children are great for young children up untill age 7 or 8.

    1. Pillows were too soft. 2. Wifi was not working smoothly. Had to inform the front desk to resolve the issue- which they did. 3. Aircon can be noisy

    1. Complementary tea time. 2. Location- nearest MRT was Formosa Boulevard which is quite convenient to go to many places from there. Liaohe Night market was a two minutes walk from here. 3. Breakfast was basic but decent.

    The staff wouldn’t speak to me in English and kept only speaking to my partner in Chinese. The toilets can’t flush paper so you’re stuck with poo in a bin next to you until they clean the room, which won’t happen daily unless you request it.

    The room was large and modern with a lot of space

    The decor was extremely dated and not reflective of what was advertised in the photos. The cleaning was only done every other day even though we toggled the light "Make Up Room".

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was extremely spacious for the price. The hotel offers a playroom for the kids on level 3 which was excellent.

    Great base to explore Kaohsiung and fantastic value, but with dated interiors and questionable decor

    Rooms themselves are a little dated. We stayed in the worldmap and animals themed room on the 6th floor. Strange choices like hiding windows and the balcony door behind faux walls gave the property a feeling of trying to imitate a high-end hotel, but only on a very superficial level. They used a lot of modern components, colors, and furniture, but without the eye of an interior designer to tie them together, the whole feeling felt a little off.

    Value was fantastic. The rooms felt very spacious for the price. Staff was incredibly friendly and tried their best to make the stay pleasant. I would recommend this location on the location and value alone - a fantastic choice if the intent is to explore as much of the city as possible while minimizing time spent in the hotel.

    The interior is pretty dated and you cannot really adjust the aircon temperature (even though you bring down the temperature, the actual temperature will not change) - this makes the room pretty warm especially during the hot summer in Taiwan.

    The hotel provides breakfast which is pretty good and the breakfast spread was decent. It was quite near the Formosa MRT.

    A Poorly Designed Hotel and Not Good Value for Money
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Executive Triple Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    We stayed here because the photos on their website looked lovely and by calling themselves the Design Hotel we booked for 3 nights. It was poorly designed and tacky, vanity and bathroom tap very poorly thought out as water dripping everywhere when used. Air Cond didn't work well, TV/internet service slow and inefficient, had to ask to be serviced. The most expensive place we paid for in Taiwan, 4 star hotel in Taipei much better value and comfortable. Breakfast is nice though, good spread of choices and location is fairly good being opposite the convenient Mart and Farmosa Boulevard MRT is 10 mins away. Would not recommend anyone looking for a quality hotel with stylish decor, cheaply designed!

    Not much except breakfast and location. Please read below of what we don't like about the place.

    The mattrass in the Ferrari bed WAS TO HARD, MY KID COULD NOT SLEEP The room was weird down, your maintenance is not good enough, you need to hire a better caretaker team AND the breakfast was bad, almost only asian food, and a hint of english breakfast. You forgot about your European customers who want healthy food and not English fatty sausages

    Size of the room was very good and Kaohsiung is a nice city
