“Good solid business hotel”

Howard Plaza Hotel Kaohsiung

4 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
May 23, 2008

We stayed here for one night. We were one couple in a double room on the 21st floor, and another person in a single room on the 8th floor.

We checked in earlier than their check-in time, which I think was 3pm. They managed to allocate us rooms right then and there anyway.

The beds were firm, and they had down pillows which I really hate because they flatten out to nothing after sleeping on them for half an hour. I assume other travelers like them because they have them in different hotels all over the world. However, I prefer it when they have a foam pillow tucked away in the closet for more choice.

The airconditioning worked fine, and the shower was nice and powerful.

We were here on the afternoon when the 7.9 earthquake in Sichuan, China happened. We felt the ground moving on the 21st floor and could hear the building making groaning and creaking structural sounds, but our party on the 8th floor didn't feel or hear a thing.

This is an all around ok business hotel, nothing to write home about, but no big complaints either.

The maids were talking quite loudly into their walkie talkies in the morning outside our room, and this was a bit annoying and unnecessary. I mean, there's no need to shout into a walkie talkie.

Oh, and the breakfast was kind of lame for a buffet. Lots of choice, but the quality was on the poor side. Much better buffets at the Han Hsien, if breakfast is an important factor in your choice of hotels.

We'd stay here again.

“Nice Hotel”

Howard Plaza Hotel Kaohsiung

1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Howard during a business trip to Kaohsiung. I was driven to the hotel by a local colleague, so did not get a good sense of the hotel's location. Kaohsiung is a very large city with lots of scooter traffic - typical for Taiwan - and a mix of narrow diagonal roads and large avenues.

We drove down to the Love River Park area in the evening (20 mins by taxi) to eat and walked around the night market afterwards. There was plenty to see and buy. This area is very colorful, with the bridges and tour boats lit up after dark.

The hotel is quite nice and clean. The rooms are spacious with good views, since the hotel is located higher up a skyscraper. There was a large work desk with internet connection (for a fee). The bathroom was nice, with a good shower.

I did not get a chance to use the exercise facilities.

Breakfast the next morning was a large buffet, with good variety, but nothing special from a quality viewpoint.

The staff were very friendly and efficient. This seems like a nice business-oriented hotel.

This hotel is fine for any business traveler. The workout space is small and the pool is small and outside, but both useable. It is kept very clean and rooms are good size. Fresh tea and coffee available, with ethernet and good beds and tv. Staff friendly and helpful.
