TOONG MAO

I believe that this hotel is now known as Hotel Wo ( not Kaohsiung Toong Mao Resort Hotel ). and the only hint of its age is probably in the lift! Apart from that the hotel seems to have undergone a major overhaul and now prides itself as a hotel with design accents. Nice rooms albeit small esp if you pay for the lowest category of rooms. Nice furnishings though all rooms have a glass toilet ( like being a fish in an aquarium) even the bathroom doors are see-through so def not a good option for people who are not close to each other! Our rooms came with complimentary breakfast and the choices were good esp the Taiwanese porridge. We didn't leave hungry! Though the area is a rather quiet one there is a large 7-11 just next door so convenient for snacks and supplies. Also across the street there is a beef noodle shop and Dominos Pizza which means there are food options beyond the hotel cafe. Though the hotel itself which may be a good choice too based on their breakfast standards! Though the hotel does not appear to be located near any public train stations but getting around via cabs/taxis is very convenient and reasonably priced. The friendly receptionist will more than willing to call for one on your behalf. WIll consider staying again if the prices remain reasonable and standards high.

Stayed for a night while on a work trip. Middle of the road hotel in just about every aspect. Beds and sheets were clean and didn't smell funky and were not lumpy or anything. Other than that the room, like the hotel, was utilitarian and showing its age. There is nothing in the immediate vicinity that would interest a tourist with the nearest attraction of note being the Museum of History a leisurely 10 minute walk away on the other side of Ai He River. Nearest MRT station is City Council is which is also about 10 minutes away, from there options like the Sanduo Shopping District or Liuhe Night Market are within easy reach. There's a 7-11 just a couple of doors down for your basic needs and the ubiquitous mom-and-pop type of street restaurant just next door so if you know your way around the language it's a snap getting some cheap, good food.

This hotel locates at the centre of Kaohsiung. Liouho night market is only 15 minutes away. There are many restaurants, fastfood shops and convenience stores nearby. You would not get hungry even in midnight. Although the outlook of the hotel is old and not eye-catching, rooms and other amenities are clean and comfortable. Free wifi are available in rooms and lobby. Buffet breakfast was not bad for a budget hotel.
