Guest UserThis hotel definitely deserves a special shout-out! My experience was fantastic right from check-in. For those who enjoy culinary experiences, I highly recommend checking out their 'one night, two meals' package. I loved the ice cream with nachos at the ground floor cafe. The evening snacks and breakfast on the second floor were also delicious. While it might not have the extensive variety of a typical star-rated hotel buffet, it offers a great chance to try various local snacks. Every single braised meat, minced pork, and topping was incredibly flavorful, and I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of a rice cooker so you could serve yourself hot rice. You could really tell that the restaurant staff and managers were genuinely dedicated to service and food quality, constantly moving around and attending to guests.
The room was spotless, and the lighting was much brighter than what you'd typically find in comparable hotels. The bathroom was also more spacious. The only minor drawback was a gap of about 1cm under the room door, which made me think the soundproofing might not be great. However, I wasn't disturbed by any noise from outside during my stay.

Guest UserPAPO’A Harbor Hotel – A Charming Stay by the Harbor in Kaohsiung
During our trip to Kaohsiung, we decided to stay at PAPO’A Harbor Hotel, and it turned out to be a great choice for exploring the creative harbor district of the city.
The hotel is located just a short walk from Pier-2 Art Center, one of the most vibrant and artistic areas in Kaohsiung. The neighborhood is filled with street art, converted warehouses, cafés, and galleries, making it a perfect place to wander around both during the day and in the evening. Being able to walk back to the hotel after exploring the area was a big plus.
One of the things that makes PAPO’A Harbor Hotel unique is its character. The building used to be a harbor staff dormitory and has been thoughtfully renovated into a boutique hotel. The design blends industrial elements with modern minimal touches, giving the space a calm and slightly artistic atmosphere that fits perfectly with the surrounding Pier-2 district.
Our room was simple but very comfortable. The bed was cozy, the room was clean, and everything felt well maintained. While the hotel focuses more on design and location than luxury facilities, it provides everything you need for a pleasant stay. Some rooms even offer partial views of the harbor, which adds to the experience of staying in this port city.
Another great advantage is transportation. The Light Rail stop is only a few minutes away, making it easy to reach other parts of Kaohsiung such as Love River, Central Park, or connect to the MRT system.
Overall, PAPO’A Harbor Hotel is a lovely boutique stay for travelers who appreciate design, convenience, and a relaxed harbor atmosphere. It may not be a large luxury hotel, but its charm, location, and unique character make it a memorable place to stay in Kaohsiung.

It was indeed very good, very comfortable, and conveniently located. I guess you could say I stayed in the same hotel as the CEO in the MV! 🥕

Jiro YuanHad a great stay at this hotel! The hotel was clean, staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the location was excellent — near the MRT station and the famous Liuhe Night Market. It’s also close to places like the Love River and Pier-2, and just one station away from Formosa Boulevard.
The room was spacious, and the free coffee and snacks during the day were a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend this hotel for couples, families, or anyone exploring Kaohsiung.

Guest User1. The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a 5-minute walk from Kaohsiung Main Station. It's also a 5-minute walk to Exit 10 of Formosa Boulevard Station, though this exit doesn't have an elevator, so it's not recommended if you have large luggage.
2. The hotel provides a variety of snacks and drinks, all available for free.
3. I originally booked a queen room, but the hotel upgraded me to a room with two queen beds free of charge, which I appreciate.
4. The self-service laundry room is on the 3rd floor and requires a 10 NTD coin.
5. I arrived at the hotel at 1 PM on a rainy afternoon and was informed that check-in was at 3 PM. Oh well, I left my luggage and headed out with an umbrella to find something to eat.
6. The bathroom's wet and dry separation design is excellent. However, the shower door isn't sealed, so water tends to leak out.

Travel ChilledI booked this hotel because of next day flight. However, this hotel still needs to be access by taxi.
Hotel is quiet, room is clean. 2 Water bottles are avb.
Theres no facilities avb in this hotel except breakfast and almost all day coffee/tea and chips/biscuits (forgot the exact time). Nevertheless, the breakfast is really below so so, all food is not warm at all and limited choices. We finally went to Starbucks across the street.

Anonymous UserThe location is very convenient, as it is very close to the MRT, making it easy to travel around
The room was spacious, clean, and well equipped with amenities such as a hair dryer, towels, soap, and shampoo, which made the stay very comfortable
We were also pleasantly surprised to find a large onsen style bathtub in the bathroom, which made the stay even more relaxing
However, guests need to bring their own toothpaste and toothbrush. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better🫰🏻❤️

Hotel is relative clean. Stayed in a single room with a semi double bed. Size is decent but didn’t realised it was behind the lifts, could hear the lift moving through out the day.
The shower head position is pretty bad. It’s not on an angle it’s pretty much like spraying directly into your body. It would be great if they could address this.
It’s 15 mins walk from the metro station so not closed.
Also there was a cockroach in the bathroom. Crawled out of the drain

Guest UserMy stay here was absolutely fantastic. The room was much more spacious than I expected, very comfortable, and impeccably clean, which made for a truly relaxing experience. The breakfast spread was extensive and delicious, I looked forward to it every morning. A major plus was the private garage, offering secure and convenient parking – a real thoughtful touch for travelers driving. The overall environment was quiet, and the staff were all very friendly. If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose this hotel and wholeheartedly recommend it to my friends and family.
