Chateau de Chine Hotel Kaohsiung

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in Kaohsiung. Very convenient walk to the MRT (subway). The area around was quiet. Easy home base to explore around Kaohsiung with great value. Not much amenities to enjoy but not something we planned on needing or using. If you want a great value hotel, this is the place."
