We stayed here for 3 nights. 
Arrived at hotel, presented ourselves to the checkin/reception desk. The lady glanced up briefly then put her head down. We wait a couple of seconds and then with no eye contact,  or more importantly a smile and welcome said "passport ..(and something else in Taiwanese) we politely  asked if she wanted our Agoda reservation number.  This visibly irritated her and she requested the same thing again. We gave her our Agoda reservation confirmation.  She took this, head down filled in something looked up and gave us a key card and printout and said breakfast times, no smile at all. 
We went to our room on the second floor and as we opened the door a stench of bad drains and a musty odour hit the back of our throats . We went in and looked around and the room was a twin room about 7ft x 10ft with a window that had no view but a concrete wall  (there is a hotel being built next door , literally a hand touch a way from your window). 
We went back to the reception lady to say that we were not happy with the room , she dialled a number and handed the phone to me. On the end of the phone was a really nice lady, I explained the situation.  She explained the situation to the receptionist who said after translation that we could change our room the next day. 

Next day the receptionist gave us a new room key on a higher floor,  which was brighter and smelt fine. We thanked her. 

On our second day we went out from mid day to 23.00 approx we got back and our room had not been cleaned, we went to reception. 

This time a man was on the desk with his colleague leaving her shift . He looked up at us with disregard and put his head down. His colleague was embarrassed and prodded him, he finally looked up at us with no smile, but irritation . By this time I had typed in Google translator that our room had not be changed and please could we have   2 towels . His demeanour changed and he asked our room number. 
The towels were delivered to us by the same man, funny enough smiling this time. 

We stayed 2 nights in this room and although the first room was not up to our standard which we expected for £65 , the second room was OK and brighter. 

We went to breakfast on the first morning but all the dishes were Taiwanese without labels. So although the breakfast area was simple and clean, we did not attempt to try any of the various soup dishes with various meats floating around  in them . No doubt if you are use to this sort of breakfast it might have been delicious.  

In all fairness, in my opinion  this hotel is not for Europeans or English speakers. 

The reception team in all my many years of travelling to date, were the most unfriendly and unwelcoming I have come across. 

The plus point is that this hotel is very close to MRT , but that said look around there were many other hotels that looked more welcoming. 

We would not return to this hotel !

Unwelcoming, unfriendly checkin/reception  staff - smelly room

This hotel is very clean and hygiene. Also, the receptionist is very friendly and helpful. Location wise, the hotel are near to liu he night market (you can see google map or ask the receptionist, they will be glad to guide to the place)
In addition, 5-minute walk to MRT Kaohsiung =)

Clean hotel and friendly receptionist

We reserved a room at this hotel to have an overnight stay in Kaohsiung to visit the Lotus Pond and we needed a hotel that is easy accessible from the train station. The hotel is really close to the Kaohsiung main station, a 5 minutes walk.

We arrived in Kaohsiung by HSR at Zuoying station and then took MRT to the main station. It's a budget hotel, so don't expect too much luxury. For the price we paid it is very good.

Good:
- clean room and bathroom
- accommodating staff
- location

Not so good:
- staff does not speak English
- strong cigarette smell in the room even though it is a non smoking room.
- dangerous elevator, doors just close and you or your things get stuck.

Breakfast is local food, you just have to get used to it.



Good enough for a budget stay

We travelled there with a big group. And we just arrived Kaohsiung at the night and transited to Chiayi by the next morning. Therefore, we just targeted some Hotel which is close to the Kaohsiung Train Station.

Location:
- Just 5-min walk to MRT & the Train Station. And 10-min walk to night market.
- Plenty of bus companies providing bus services to kenting at the next street. 
- The convenient store is just located downstair around the corner.

Room: 
1. Family Room for four- Two Queen Size Double Bed. Big enough for 4 luggage and very bargaining price.
2. Double Room- Fair enough
3. Twin Room- A bit smaller than the Double room but fare enough
(The washroom door is "hidden"  right behind the room door )

Clean room and the bathroom is big enough. Only pitfall is no window but i really don't care.

Price: 
Very bargain price with a great location and fair enough room (including a simple breakfast). What more you can ask for? 

I would recommend to a budget traveller or traveller who would save money for shopping and nice food.

5-min Walk to MRT & Kaohsiung Train Station

A short 5 min. walk from mrt Kaohsiung. The room is clean and they have typical chinese breakfast. But overall, we enjoy our stay in Jin Bao. Great starting point to start to explore Koashiung  surrounding area.

Good value and Location

We stayed here for two nights, and it was a decent place to stay. English of lobby staff was quite poor so we had some trouble explaining that our airconditioning did not work properly. After we went out and when we came back it worked fine again! 
Room was quite nice, as well as bathroom. Clean. 

The hotel has three free bikes for use, but one seemed to be out or order. We had some difficulty trying to get a hold of the two bikes to explore Kaohsiung as many people had the same idea. 
The hotel is easy to find, perfectly located close to train station and close to shops and restaurants. Also close to famous night market Liouho, which is very recommended. 

Chinese breakfast, with toast as well. Mostly cold, but lots of stuff to choose from.
