Prior to booking this Kindness hotel we had stayed in another Kindness hotel in Hualien and absolutely loved it. This hotel provided the same excellent service, free evening snacks, excellent breakfast, etc. except it was a bit older so the conditions of the rooms and bathroom, etc were not as new. The hotel appeared to be near Kaohsiung train station yet it was not easy to get to as everyone had to cross over the railway line (using a strange "platform" where free tickets were issued at one end and collected at the other end. Outside the hotel there were many places advertised for massage services which we found not suitable for family like ours.
