        Great accomodation at He Sen”

        He Sen is a great B&B place. The place is located just a couple of minutes walk away from the main street. This makes it a very convenient location. For those taking the Kenting Express bus from Zuoying station, it is only less than 5min walk from where the bus drops off passengers. At night, visitors can find lots of stalls selling food and other items along the main street. The room was also very clean and well-maintained. Mattress is of the right firmness and the air-conditioning was powerful enough to cool the room within a couple of minutes despite the warm weather. There is even a small refrigerator in the room to keep the fruits fresh or drinks cold. The staff at the place are very helpful and go out of their way to answer any questions regarding Kenting. The breakfast that they prepare is fresh and healthy too!

        Comfortable stay”

        One of very few in Kenting street area that has a lift/an elevator. Clean room, very comfortable bed (but ask for more pillows - flat pillows seem to be a common problem), modern toilet facilities but no shower curtain, hot and cold water dispenser at the lift lobby, two bottles of water provided in the room, friendly proprietor, quiet location a stone throw from the main Kenting Street.

        This is a hidden gem in Kenting. The room I booked was spacious was there was even a small balcony. Wifi was great, air con was also powerful. It’s just off the Kenting Night Market Street. Walk down a small road and you’ll arrive at the main road in less than 2 minutes. There is also a convenience store at the end of the small road. The ladies who checked us in were really friendly. There is also a hot and cold water dispenser at each level. There’s a lift in the building also so that was greatly welcomed.

        Excellent Service!”

        This Hotel owned by 3 Sisters! They are very nice, if you need to rent Escooter or private car they can do it for you. If you want a safer tour around, i will advise you guys to hire the private car. The hotel is clean and cozy, the bed is SUPER COMFORTABLE! Highly recommendation if you looking for hotel in Kenting, cos it located at Kenting Street (Night Market). 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

        Clean, Friendly and Well-located”

        This is more a cross between a home stay (minshu 民宿) and a hotel. The owner keeps the place very clean, provides all the amenities of a hotel (toiletries, laundry, etc). She’s friendly and helpful. The hotel is just off the Main Street that turns into a night food market (夜市)after 6pm. The room I have is large and the bed is comfortable. Kenting is a beach resort that peaks during summer. Expect to pay more for rooms and food than the nearby town of Heng Chun 恒春. Heng Chun by the way is worth a day trip just to explore its streets and food.

        Gracious host. Excellent rooms. ”

        Owner host Miss Lin is a friendly and genuine person who ensured that all her guests were well taken care of. Her rooms were neat and tidy and being 5mins of the hustle and bustle of Kenting Main Street make it a good break from the noises. A wonderful stay with the warmth of a minshu and the comfort of a hotel.

        Excellent host gives a warm family feel”

        The host is warm and friendly n immediately gives us a family feel when we stepped into the house. We were on a mini bus and unfortunately had to drag our luggage from along kenting main street to the hostel as it was past 7pm. The room we had was big and spacious. Towels are provided. Beds are big and comfortable. But food attracts ants. Other than that I hv no complaints. This is an excellent minsu to start with if you hv never stayed in one before.

        A Homestay B&B with Hotel Aspirations ”

        Location is about 70m away fm the Kenting Night Market. So it is near and yet not too near so that you will not be disturbed by noises fm the night market. This hotel has about @12-15 rooms and the owner lives on the ground floor. So services can be personalised. For eg Breakfast... in terms of timing when it should be ready. Place is also renovated. If you have a family reunion, you can book the whole hotel and make it a private family event

        Excellent place to stay for four nights there with feeling like home. The room is tidy and clean through out the period and the hosts really know the need of people with their passionate love. We enjoy their local style breakfast much and we chat like a family all the time. The decoration makes you feel so warm and no doubt will go back for another holiday with relaxation (say hello again to their lovely dog "Hostel Captain Lok Lok").
