Kindness Hotel Liouhe Night Market Zhongzhen is a branch of a well-known Taiwanese budget hotel group, named for its position near Liuhe Night Market. It is a practical choice for travellers who want to spend their money on food and day trips rather than on a fancy room. Expect simple, functional accommodation in a lively part of the city, with the night market as the main attraction on your doorstep. Room sizes, breakfast and facilities vary, so check the details for your dates when you book.
Location and getting around
The name points to Liuhe Night Market, one of the most famous street food streets in Kaohsiung, so the hotel is aimed at guests who want to be close to the evening food scene. The Formosa Boulevard Dome of Light and the metro are within easy reach, and the Love River and Pier-2 are short rides away. Check the map when you book to see the exact walking distance from the hotel to the market and the nearest metro station.
Rooms and facilities
Budget hotels of this kind generally offer compact, clean rooms with the basics, and sometimes a simple breakfast. Do not expect a pool, spa or extensive dining, and check for a lift, luggage storage and laundry if they matter to you. Rooms close to a busy night market can be noisy in the evening, so ask for a higher floor or a quieter side of the building when you book.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits solo travellers, couples, backpackers and food lovers who plan to be out most of the day and evening. Families may prefer a larger room type, and light sleepers may prefer a hotel away from the market. Night markets are busiest at weekends, so book early for Friday and Saturday nights and compare rates with and without breakfast.
Tips for a good stay
Go to the market early, around opening time, to enjoy shorter queues and cooler air, and bring small change for the stalls. Try the local specialities such as grilled seafood, papaya milk and stinky tofu, and keep an eye on your belongings in the crowd. In the morning, use the metro for the day trips and sights that are further away.
Before you book
Look at the cancellation terms, because flexible rates are useful if typhoon season or a change of plan affects your trip. Compare a few room types, check whether breakfast or late check-out can be added, and read recent guest comments for anything that matters to you, such as street noise, lift waiting times or air conditioning.
