Extremely spacious room with top-notch furnishings/amenities. Location is tad far from MRT”

City Suite Kaohsiung Chenai offers extremely spacious rooms with modern furnishings and well-stocked amenities in each room. Toilets were spacious and clean, plenty of area to store multiple luggages, and also a big open balcony for enjoying the harbour view. Only gripe with the hotel was its distance from the MRT exit. Requires about 8 minutes of walking from the MRT exit, and if you're visiting on a hot summer season like me, 8min under the sun is enough make you sweat buckets under the scorching sun.

Convenient location for art visit”

The location of the hotel is really convenient for guest who want to visit the Pier2 art district in Kaohsiung. I didn't intend to stay over another night in Kaohsiung after spent 2 nights there for shopping and museum visit but I was attracted by the environment of Pier2 art district and the arts event over there, by the time I am done it was late and I found city suite from Agoda. The hotel was clean, nice and comfortable. I will definitely stay again when I visit next month.

Good location nice hotel”

City Suite Kaohsiung Chenai is a good hotel. I like it very much. It is clean, nicely built, comfy and in good location. It is just few minutes walk to the art zone, subway station and the "ai river"

Extremely good”

This review refers to the city twin room with harbour view. What drew me to pick this hotel for my first visit to Kaohsiung were the less obvious reasons that there were next to no hotel rooms in the city with both a balcony and a (gasp) washlet! Those not familiar with the latter, it is a wc with water spray which for me is indispensable coming from Japan. Didn't matter the summer temperatures reached 35 and 101% humidity but what is a harbour hotel without a balcony and a view to complement! Mine was adequately spacious and I can imagine a lot more time spent lounging outside in the cooler months. A caveat at this point that not all rooms have both these and if they are important make sure you select the correct one. Mine was called city twin room with harbour view but there may be others. So let's look at the pros. The room was spacious, clean and visually pleasing - interior understatedly stylish and new. The bath area was functionally laid out with separate toilet and shower/bath with vanity outside so they can be occupied by different users. The neighbourhood is pleasant and quiet surrounded by art installations and converted warehouses now home to local modern art. It is also suitably located for a visit to Cijin Island via ferry where you land smack at the seafood eateries and street stalls. The hotel is a 10-minute walk to the MRT and if this seems slightly less than convenient, taxis are relatively cheap in the city which is the alternative. I rate it 4.5 stars and would give 5 if some improvements were made. The room comes with a desk chair and armchair but lacks a side table which is problematic if you wished to lay out snacks and drinks. Inclusion of simple all weather furniture for the terraces would be sensible. At the moment if you wished to lounge outside you'd need to lug the room chairs out but have to place your Chardonnay and wine glasses on the floor for the lack of a table. The balconies have zero privacy between rooms except for transparen

We were staying at City Suites Kaohsiung Chenai for 1 night and it is very comfy , We had a very good sleep even we had a baby with us . The front desk was very approachable and helpful 👍

Great stay”

Let's start with the good things. The location was alright - once you knew how, it was a 10 min walk to the mrt station. Secondly, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The place was clean. TV channels were all in mandarin (except about 10 out of 100) but I could understand so it wasn't a problem. It was also very close to some tourist attractions - the art district is just across the road, the love river and xiziwzan bay within walking distance (1hr). The cafes n the art district are probably one of the better ones in Kaohsiung yet not too expensive. For the negatives, I didn't like the food at the hotel at all. It tries very hard to cook some dishes which were international, but it just failed very badly. I tried not just the breakfast, but also the dinner buffet. Only those which were supposed to be chinese food (or needed little/no preparation) were of reasonable standard. I feel they should hire cooks who actually know what those foreign food tasted like or just stick to what they know, which is chinese food. Unfortunately, there was only one convenience store next to it and no other food available within 5min walking distance in the early morning. There were some cafes in the art district but they don't open too early and were not very casual dining places. I only managed to find one open before 10am by walking straight out for 5 min or so which sold porridge with side dishes(highly recommended as it tasted of good homecooked meals). All other places only opened after 1030am. The other thing is the lack of pedestrian ways immediately around the hotel itself, which forced everyone to walk on the road itself. For tourists who may be unfamiliar with Kaohsiung's rather inventive ideas about how to drive may find it a little hazardous, especially with young children.

Comfortable and clean hotel”

It was really a nice stay at city suite, I like the location as it is in the Pier 2 art district and a 15 mins drive to the city centre. The room is clean and comfortable, the bath room facilities is well equipped with separated toilet and shower room w a bathtub. For the weekday rate it is really cheap! As this is a hotel that cater to large tour group, breakfast can be very crowded.

Best in Everything except Location”

The hotel basically met all my expectations on what a 4-Star Hotel should be. The room was superbly comfortable and clean, the furnishings are great, and the service is very, very good. The buffet breakfast is also very enjoyable, featuring international and local Taiwanese dishes. In terms of attractions, the Pier-2 attraction (駁二區) is located just opposite the hotel. Location, however, is a problem in my case as I decided not to take a taxi. The nearest Kaohsiung MRT station, Yanchengpu (鹽埕埔), is located around 20 mins+ walking distance from the hotel. Its best to consult your map and understand the road names before heading there from the MRT station, as that area is a few road names that are quite similar if pronounced in English (Dayi Rd, Dayong Rd, etc.) In addition, unless you are dining out at the hotel, there isn't really any food choices nearby. During my stay I had my dinner at the Okmart convenience store located just opposite.

Value for money!”

v stayed at 6th flr wt city view room. clean an cozy, two queen beds n big balcony. there is an "OK Mart" located just next to the hotel and 驳二art centre just opposite, where our favourite pineapple tarts "Sunny Hills" has its branch there. Definitely my choice again for future Kaohsiung Trip.

Good location if you want to enjoy the pier”

This hotel is right next to the C12 light rail stop (light green line), literally beside the stop itself, no need to walk longer than 2 minutes. In Kaohsiung there's only 2 main line (red & yellow line) connecting the airport from the city. At Kaisyuan MRT stop transit to the light rail (light green line) to C12 - Pier 2 art district stop. Hotel is located at the heart of Pier 2 art district. Scenic pier view & artsy architecture surrounding the hotel. On the same light rail line you'll be able to get to Dream World, Urban Spotlight, Love Pier, Hamasen Rail Museum & other attractions along the same route. For other attractions, the orange line (Yanchengpu) stop which is 7 minutes away from the hotel will be able to take you to locations such as Farmosa Boulevard, Central Park, Kaohsiung Arena (Rui Feng night market) & other areas along the orange & red line. Room is excellent, huge room with double queen bed for RM200 a night. Modern facilities and staff are relatively friendly.

What a wonderful stay in Kaohsiung!”

Thanks for Nillson and the staff who checked in me, we had a great night here! Nice room with good A/C, big bathtub, and great location. There are a lot of wonderful restaurants and stores around the hotel. I will visit this hotel again! Thanks! City Suites!

Excellent hotel”

Everything about this hotel was excellent. The only advice I would give the manager would be to perhaps rotate some of the breakfast selections, serve them warmer and replace empty serving plates faster. On the other hand the breakfast buffet we had was the best of several we experienced in our long stay in Taiwan. The location was a bit remote in one sense, but situate in one of the nicer areas of Kaohsiung.

Very comfortable hotel”

It was a very nice stay at city suite. Great location at the pier 2 art district. Should stay over the weekend for the flea market where individual stall sell interested stuff.

clean and safe stay”

I like to stay at City Suite Kaohsiung, reasonable price and good access to main turistic area. local foods are available and convinience store was just next to hotel. we chose this hotel partially good view but our room has no view at all, that was 1 point of disapointment but rather than that I have no complain and if I visit taiwan I may stay again.

Exceptional”

The hotel is good. Modern and neat. Staff is friendly. The only thing would be about the supper and the breakfasf. The food is not warm enough (especially for the supper) and there is not much choice. The hotel is located in a fancy area. Walking distance from the Kaohsiung MRT and few meters away from the LRT tramway.

Great location, clean, great breakfast”

the room we stayed has great view at the harbor, breakfast buffet was great, 8min walk to metro and no underground parking lot, in overall this is a great hotel and I will stay there again if I visit Kaohsiung next time.

Best budget hotel in Kaohsiung. But,”

Great for budget. About 200USD FOR 3 Nights(Promotion) With Morning buffet? Yeap. Citysuites dose. But don't expect more. Step was "very" kind, but seems like they're lack of experience are problem. Nice location for who wants to to travel Yancheng district. Food was terrible. Hopeless. Free Morning buffet is mainly for group tourist, so don't expect much. Bunch of Hypermarket food court-ish food waiting for you. Except that, i would give good point for citysuites.

Love the hotel~!”

I totally love my stay in City Suite Kaohsiung Chenai. Love the scenic night view and seaview from the balcony. Love the toilet concept with rain shower and 2 different cubicles for the shower and toilet area. I would definitely revisit this hotel for my future trips!

Excellent ”

Good hotel”
