JÒHŌ HOTEL Kaohsiung

Location and price are great. stayed 2x left a hat the first time they were willing to mail it too me! But ending up just holding onto it till my next trip, so nice. They were also able to accommodate a last min additional person (for a reasonable price increase).

A bit awkward to find: side street entry and on 10th floor but once you know where it's easy. Also exit 1 (red/orange line) has the escalators but exit 11 is closest but is stairs.

It was a great location and very convenient!

The bathroom is a little old. Lots of mosquitos came into the room because there is no screen in the bathroom or on the windows.

- very spacious (I've got the biggest room at the end of the corridor with two curved floor to ceiling windows facing the night market though, so I did not open the curtains at all, but it feel spacious) - a little bit noisy (can hear the shooting sound of the balloon shooting game booths from the night market, but otherwise, noise-wise, it is OK)- A TV suspended from the ceiling - nice coffee (3 in 1) on 10/F- Excellent location (Close to exit 11 (long stairs) and exit 1 (elevator and escalator) of the Beautiful Island Metro Station) - A very competitive Price

- feel a little bit unsafe as the hostel is inside a normal commercial / residential building with the reception on 10/F and some rooms on 7/F and 10/F. - dare not leave the room to take water from the water machine which is right outside the elevator - not sure if it is a love hotel or not (though I see normal traveller leaving luggage on 10/F after checking out) - The biggest con is that they did not separate the shower from the toilet. The toilet will get all wet after your shower. No shower curtain. The toilet is relatively small given the very large size of the room.

Near the night market and Mrt

The building is a little bit old but manageable.

The hotel is near the Formosa boulevard station and just in the middle of Liouhe night market. I'm very satisfied with the room. It is clean and spacious. The room has a space to hang our laundry suitable for travelers. The price is very reasonable. The hotel also provide water dispenser and tea sachet, disposable toiletries and the staff can communicate in english

Excellent location next to Formosa boulevard station and Luihe night market.The room was very large, clean, bright, comfy and nicely decorated, with a sofa, a fridge, a kettle, towels and aircon. I did not use the common area. There is free tea and coffee. Receptionists are present 24/7 and all spoke English better than most people. I would stay there again. Excellent value for money.

The walls are thin. Bad luck if you have noisy neighbours.

The room!! Haha cuz I had it all to myself, it’s clean and quite cozy, got fridge and fan! If youre going to look for this property its right next to cosmed~

The balcony isn’t a balcony tho hehe but its ok~

Big and clean room. Great location in the city center, next to the metro stop and a good night market.

Location of hotel was ok, but rooms were not nice at all

Rooms very old, not nice. staff did no effort to help me with another room type. I booked 3 months before and requested a special room type. They promised to try but when I arrived I got the worst room. If I knew before I would have cancelled right from the beginning. Balcony is not really a balcony! You can not be outside!

Good value. Staff were friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Location was good. Very close to the night tourist market.

Liu he night market right at the downstairs. Watson and cosmed at downstairs, a few convenient store nearby. . A lot of food choices nearby. Walking distance to Formosa Boulevard station. Reasonable price with the great location during that period.

The sink was outside the bathroom and right next to a bed, have to be extra careful while using the sink if not water will splash on the bed. The nearest subway station exit with lift is quite far away, it was not easy to drag the big luggages from that exit and walk to the accommodation.

Its location

Staffing hoursToilet paper was not permitted to be flushed down toiletNoisy aircon

Location is very near Formosa Blvd. Station Exit 11 and the Liuhe Night Market. The place itself is spacious and had a common lounge for coffee and hot and cold drinking watee. Airconditioning is cold and the beds are comfortable. Wifi speed is also good enough for Zoom meetings and Netflix streaming.

All in all, it was a great place to explore the city from, as well as to relax inside if/when you need it+Comfortable room, with a bed and sofa to relax on+Cold and hot drinking water available as well as tea bags+Hot shower+AC plus fan so you can use whichever you need (or a combination)+Great location, walking distance from the TRA station, very close to the Formosa Boulevard station and the Liuhe night market +It felt very safe, access to the hallway is with a key fob and then you have your room key+Helpful staff (although you will need to use Google Translate at times if you don't speak Chinese)+Strong WiFi

A minor point but the balcony (I had booked a room with a balcony) was not really meant for use; part of it was taken up by outward facing AC and fan, the rest was closed off with a window or plastic and it didn't seem intended for spending time there. This is fine in itself, but then I don't see much point in advertising the balcony.Also, there was very little natural light in the room. The only window was on the upper part of the balcony door which wasn't even visible from the sofa or bed. The lights in the room were good though.

I liked how clean the rooms were, that there were towels, the bathroom was clean and the shower was separate from the bathroom which is easier for us as Americans. The location was perfect, right next to the Liuhe Night Market and the subways. The view of the street from the balcony was also breathtaking in the morning. The staff were very helpful and they spoke very good English which makes everything easier.

The only concerns are that maybe we could have had more horizontal space. We had to put a lot of things on the floor, which made it get crowded after awhile. The USB wall ports also didn't work, only the outlet plugs did.

The location was really great, close to the station as listed, and right off of the night market. Our previous place was a nightmare so that really made this hotel seem like an oasis. We booked for 5 people (3 beds) it was nice and spacious, water bottles were provided as well as some toiletries. Everything worked well, shower (water pressure could've been better but I think it's totally fine for the price we paid) AC was good, Wi-Fi was a little weak but fine, the fridge was fine too. Overall, it felt safe, comfortable and clean. Definitely not Hilton hotel quality but I think it was great for the price we paid.

Nothing in particular. We stayed multiple nights so if anything I wish they would have taken out our trash, that's about it.

1 biggest plus point for this hotel selection was the location. near to the Formosa Subway train station entrance. which is an interchange for both lines that allows you to travel to diff parts of KaoHsiung. It seems like a hotel chain which has rooms on level 7, 10 and 12. its literally right at where the Liu He Night market at.. with plenty of shops, like Watson, 7-11, Cosmed.. So its really a super convenient place to stay. I was given room 1013. which is right where the communal area and the recept at.. initially i was concern about possible noise disturbance. To my pleasant surprise, the sound proofing was really fantastic.. i didnt hear any noise from outside once i close the door. I tried to increase the volume of the TV and see if i can hear it from outside.. and it was quiet. Thumbsup. The room itself is fairly comfortable, it comes with a queen size bed and a sofa. Bathroom is also acceptable. Although i would have much preferred if there's a curtain to shunt the toilet bowl during shower to keep it dry. Bed and pillows are soft and comfortable to my preference. Room is clean. A new frill simple hotel with super affordable price. The counter staff were also friendly and nice.

I would have added more points if the check in timing could have been earlier.. I was told the official check in is at 4pm and checkout is 11am.

Location was great, room was comfortable and big

It is little difficult to find as a non chinese speaker

Location is good

It would be great if there is room service to clean up the room daily for our 5 continuois stay.

The only good thing about the property is the location.

It was not clean! The toilet hadn’t been cleaned, the sink hadn’t been cleaned, I was doubtful the bedsheets had even been changed because they made me itchy. The room smelled like smoke. The toilet wouldn’t flush. The internet wouldn’t work! The staff already knew the internet wasn’t going to work because the hotel was full, and in that case they should get better internet.
