Kindness Hotel Sandou

Great location less than 20 minutes from KHH airport. It is within 8 minutes walking distance from SOGO for those who love to shop department stores. There are 7-11s ( more than one!) Family Marts and a PX Mart (grocery store) along each road. Very convenient. The drinks at 7-11 will be cheaper priced than Family Mart and PX Mart and sometimes they will have a BOGO on select items ( I got an extra baby wipe pack by sheer luck). The Family Mart will have more unique items (ex Kombucha, health teas etc). The food selection for both places will be a bit limited for grab and go eats. Think sweet pastries and snacks. They do have some sandwiches but not super healthy if you are vegetarian. The hotel has complementary breakfast that starts at 6:30am ends at 10am. It is a buffet the fills up the entire room. There is a wonderful mix of local foods, one Western style pot. There is a small salad bar, fruit bar, coffee/tea and a small short order cook that will fry up 4 items (eggs, scallion onion omelette, turnip cakes). There is an other side has at least 10 varieties of local foods. The quality is great! Not too oily, 2 congee pots ( regular and Hong Kong Style). Fruits include what is season (Guava, apples, watermelon) and oranges, bananas. I will warn you about the late night snack (Dim Sum) buffet. Located on same floor and it starts at 7pm. That is a busy mad house. The line to queue up starts earlier and it will go down the hall to the stairwell. Lots of tour buses come to this location and tour groups will flood in each week during season. I went during early April for 9 days. I would go to breakfast at 8 am and skipped the nighttime crush. Restaurants are readily available all around and very affordable. This hotel comes with complimentary laundry DIY and laundry powder soap. Make sure you write your room number on the dry erase placard and stick it on each machine you use. Otherwise another guest may accidentally throw their items in and use the machine. The dryers are on top so hard to see what’s on the bottom. There is a free lounge in the lobby that has complimentary ice cream, coffee/tea and jasmine flavored gelatin cups. You can sit there all day if you like and sip on a free espresso or other drink. This hotel comes with a lot of amenities at a reasonable rate— I will stay here again next time.

Great stay at Kindness Hotel Sandou Kaohsiung. The staff are warm and attentive. Rooms are spotlessly clean and tidy. The 24-hour free beverage lounge is perfect for working remotely, convenient and comfortable for business travelers.

I got the room as it was just cleaned so it smells very heavy bleach. Opening the window for 10 minutes would do the job. Air con is cold and perfect for the super hot weather there. I have no complaints except the towels looks old and a little greyish. The hotel breakfast has also a decent selection (I just spent 4 nights at the Grand Hi Lai and this is only half their price. Reception has been very helpful for keeping my deliveries for a few days before my arrival and lent me tapes for re-boxing. There are no amenities so you just have to get at the convenience store.

I love the environment there, the staffs are nice and the place is very clean and with free laundry and water refill machine on every floor. There is also a special small dinner buffet session that free of charge. Will definitely book again.

A very good hotel with reasonable price. Breakfast, snacks , drinks , all over expectations. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!
