Papa Whale-Kaohsiung Formosa Boulevard Reviews

Cute, quirky hotel well-located near Kaohsiung's Central Park! Spacious and clean bedroom + bathroom, as well as a really comfortable and well-kept lounge with a generous supply of free snacks (tea eggs, anyone?). I recommend checking out the very nice European-style bistro, Little Green, right next door, even if just for a delicious fruit beer.

The waiting time to see the shark whale takes about 4 hours if you arrive early… it’s a long wait but a memory for life. Not sure how can they manage the crowds keeping availability but yeah … 4 hours is a very long wait

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

This hotel is located in Central Park. It takes around 5-10mins to walk to the metro station. The 4 ppl room is quite standard in this price. However, the most impressed thing is the pantry. It has a good environment and background music. There is also some book that can borrow.

No one the at reception. Many of the guest standing at the reception wanted to check in /check out /getting luggage are lost and confused. Theres room for improvement for Cleanliness. Amenities are ok at the common area tho

Nice place

The room is good just now less lighting. I needed around 10mins to walk to MRT Station, I felt exhausted with summer day

My stay was unexpectedly extended for several days due to Typhoon Danas. As the hotel is very close to my workplace, I ended up rebooking multiple times. I did notice a significant price difference between weekdays and weekends, with weekend rates effectively doubling. During this extended stay, I had the chance to experience all of the hotel's room types: the Elegant Room (8th floor), the Deluxe Room (3rd floor), and the Family Room (7th floor). All of them were very clean, and a consistent highlight was how comfortable the beds were. Personally, I felt the Deluxe Room offered the best value for money. The air conditioning in the Family Room had a low-frequency hum that was quite noisy at night, making it hard to sleep. The Elegant Room, with its internal window, felt a bit stuffy. Overall, I'd still recommend the Deluxe Room, as it also had the strongest and most comfortable shower pressure. I'd also like to commend the front desk staff; they were all very polite. All in all, a decent hotel.

The hotel's location is convenient, and the overall environment is clean and well-designed. The room was spacious and very comfortable to stay in. The soundproofing and hygiene were both excellent, and the service was very attentive. It offers great value for money, and I would definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Kaohsiung.

Room was clean and spacious, laundry room was useful. Area with snacks and kitchen amenities was brilliant

The family room is super big. Comes with a big bath tub too. B1 has a nice area for gathering with some snacks/cup noodles and drinks. Suggest to bring own towels as the hotel towels look pretty worn out.

Room is very spacious. A couple of convenience stores just down the hotel. Quite near to the metro station.

Easy to check in using machine scanning Snacks for surprise welcome gift Smiling always

Got snack bar at basement, which is good if you feel hungry . Location is near to the MRT and near to Liu he night market
