The Howard Plaza Hotel Kaohsiung

Room is spacious, clean and well maintained. Close to subway station. Supermarket is just across the street. Hotel has also its own restaurants with discount.

Great amenities. Staff were friendly and very accommodating.

Location was about 10/15 minutes walk from the nearest metro station, but they do offer a shuttle service to compensate for that.

The location was good, although a bit far to walk to the subway station. I enjoyed the scene around the pool, which was lively, but never crowded. The breakfast buffet had a good variety.

The Jacuzzi seemed a little bit dirty.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, room is nice and clean, breakfast is wonderful with many options, Smile One restaurant is great for the food and view.

Shower hot water wasn't hot enough.

upgraded to a family room with two queen beds! spacious room with bathtubdecent breakfast spread that's value for money!the pencil in the room is nostalgic!shampoos and soaps were really fragrant!

rooms we got might feel a little old, but there are some rooms that have undergone renovation and might look better!

We are familiar with this hotel having stayed here many times over the years. Room size good. Renovated entrance lobby an improvement.

Bedrooms becoming a little outdated. The room we were given this time decidedly tired. Pillows awful and basic. Considerable hassle getting non-feather pillow. Could do with better anti-mosquito measures in the lobby. Meagre coffee and tea supplies. No water supplied in rooms - notice in rooms stating this adheres to government policy on use of plastic - other hotels provided water in non-plastic containers. Notice at front desk states no toothbrushes or toothpaste provided in bedrooms - however we were given these at rewception.

Location, breakfast and staff were great. The beds were very comfortable

The hotel in general felt very tired and a little overpriced for what we experienced.

very rich breakfast. lot of variety disheshuge and modern room

Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent variety and good quality at breakfast. Spacious room. Comfortable bed. Between the cafe, bar and restaurant there was always somewhere open for food and drinks.

Clean, and close to MRT

Looked a bit old

Great location, clean room, hot tub.

The buffet food for breakfast and dinner were not very good.

Friendly staff, location, close to night market.

Breakfast limited choice, facility a bit aged.

Location, beds were comfortable pool and hot tub good a nice hot cold combination

Bar not open during day, bit dated, needs a little spruce up a slight musty smell.

Very nice hotel. Bed mattress is very comfortable, room is clean. Front desk & porters are helpful.

The room is big and clean .

The safe box is not working in the room .

Transport: nearest mrt is Xinyi elementary school which is about 15 mins walk away for us with kids along. We enjoyed the walk anyway since we could see local stalls or shops selling yummy local food and snacks. Uber can be easily booked from mobile app too. So the distance from hotel to mrt wasn't an issue for us. We could book Uber easily and picked us up from hotel. Breakfast: Average for us. You will have what you need basically. We stayed for 6 nights and the variety was about the same everyday. But we like the coffee for sure?Cleanliness: Howard isn't a new hotel anyway hence certain facilities or equipment in rooms perhaps need more refurbishment. Overall still fine in our opinion. Room facility: We had the family suite room and I love the beds due to their sizes. Such bed size was just right for a family with 3 large size guys and I do not need to be kicked out of bed?Decor: The paintings and mirror with the word "家” located at the floor actually accentuate the atmosphere. I appreciate the wide range of paintings which show plenty of art techniques. Good to have for sure?

As mentioned above, overall still fine, just some areas such as the furniture might need to be changed. Reception and Lobby area can be more welcoming in terms of room design or decor since it is afterall a 5 star hotel. It lacks a usual 5 star hotel lobby and reception setting. Paintings were good to have but personally I think the setting must be able to compliment them too.

Good location and room was huge.Bed was nice and firm. We had a nice view from the 22 floor.

Staff was a little less friendly than other hotels.Breakfast was too pricey for a buffet for seniors who don't eat much so went elsewhere.

given a high floor with a view of the city.

Breakfast was just okay; nothing to write home about. Selection were lower quality items and very busy with conference members rushing to attend their meetings.

I recently enjoyed a stay at this hotel with two teenage kids, and overall, it was a pleasant experience! Our room was a highlight, featuring enormous, comfy beds that could easily accommodate three people each. We appreciated the spaciousness and comfort, making for restful nights.

The breakfast buffet was another positive aspect, offering a variety of options to suit every palate. While it was a treat to find ice cream on the menu, I did miss the classic pancakes and waffles that many guests might look forward to.Though the hotel rooms could benefit from a bit of a refresh, especially in terms of decor and amenities,

The room size was very big. The bed was huge. The view from the 23rd floor was amazing. The hotel pool and spa.

The mattress was a little hard, although I still slept well. Only 1 pillow supplied but organised quickly when asked for a 2nd. The hot tub water was way too hot. The location was a little further from the train station. Which mentioned either a sweaty walk to get there or a taxi.
