“Great views over Kaoshiung, 5-star standards but please provide free wifi in rooms!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

The rooms are big, well equipped and the views are stunning. The marble bathroom is huge and has separate bath and shower. The best part about this hotel is the fact that you get to stay on a really high floor with great views. No matter which direction room you get, you're bound to be impressed by what you can see in front of you. The rooms also came with a fruit platter which was a nice touch.

There are two things that this hotel really didn't match up to my standard 1) there was no free wifi included in the room (ethernet cabled internet is fee and internet is also available in the lobby, but tablets = no ethernet connection); 2) the lobby is very poor. I tried, as the hotel staff suggested, to use the wifi in the lobby, but the lobby is very small, and all up probably only has about 10 chairs, all very close to one another. Because of the low ceilings in the lobby and the small area, any conversation echoed loudly and made the experience of trying to use the wifi very unpleasant. For a 5-star hotel, I would have expected a grander and more comfortable lobby. Besides my complaints of no free wifi and small lobby, the hotel is still a pleasant stay.

Breakfast is made up of stretches and stretches of different styled foods. I was quite happy with the choices that were on offer, there really is something for everyone. My experience with the coffee there was terrible - I recommend avoiding the coffee... I heard that you might be able to get barista coffee from the wait staff for free, but definitely stay clear of the coffee machine.

“Great views, decent hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

Stayed on the 70th Floor with a view of the harbour which was fantastic.
Room and bathroom were spacious, comfortable and clean with fresh fruit, tea/coffee etc.
Out of the 5 hotels we stayed at in Taiwan this was the only one that charged for WIFI (although not via LAN).
We only ate breakfast here which was average at best.
However, the location was good, 5 mins from the KMRT (Senduo Shopping District), the staff were pleasant. The Concierge in particular was very helpful.
The bar on the 38th floor was also nice.
Plus Kaohsiung is a great city for a couple of nights so we had a good stay here and the hotel was more than adequate.

Room Tip: You can't fail to get a good room here - you;re so high up whichever room you have will have a g...

“70th floor!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

Arrived after a long trip from Sydney and changed to harbourview room on 70th floor. The room wasn't ready but they let me use the gym facility to shower which was nice. Room was good and the fresh seasonal fruit was a nice touch. Loved the view and there can't be many hotels where you can stay on the 70th floor. Didn't try any of the food. Can't really understand the logic of charging for wifi but giving free Internet access via LAN cable. I thought the room was good value. Location is fine - about 5 mins walk to the MRT but you need to take taxi if you want to visit the love river walk.

Room Tip: Choose a harbour view room

“Food at the buffet was horrid. Service just as bad”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012 via mobile

Went to eat at the buffet. Ordered the turkey, which I got some dark meat and some of a drumstick. Had the mushroom gravy. Also tried some egg rolls.

Turkey was mostly fat and was cold. Gravy cold. Egg rolls cool and soggy. Food was terrible.

Asked for my bill. Waiter was not even the least bit curious why I had a 1/3 plate of food and was leaving after 5-10 minutes. Manager even less helpful when I asked to speak with him. All he would offer was a free drink.

Will try to have my company use another hotel. Only thing this place has is a view.
