The husband and I just got back from our first trip to Kaohsiung, and It was FUN! =D
We love Taiwan as a holiday destination because of the amazing and affordable food and shopping, but we usually visit only Taipei. This time round, we had the chance to visit Kaohsiung, by the kind invitation of Orange Hotel Liuhe Kaohsiung and omy.sg, and we really enjoyed our short but relaxing 3D2N stay in the city. Taipei is a very warm and hospitable country, and we always felt at home whenever we visit. Kaohsiung is no different, if not even more so! From the strangers on the streets who went the extra mile to help us when we were finding our directions, to the bus and taxi drivers, everyone was just so nice and friendly.
The hotel is conveniently located near to two subway stations – Farmosa Boulevard (12-min walk) and Sinyi Elementary School (5-min walk). Farmosa Bouleward is a main interchange, so you can get to most places of interests in Kaohsiung, railway station and airport easily. Just so you know – You won’t want to miss the special light show happening at the station everyday at specific timings. Look at how colourful the ceilings of the station lobby is (photo above) – The light show is definitely worth catching!
Stepping into Orange Hotel Liuhe Kaohsiung was a lovely experience on its own. The staff was fast in settling our check-in procedures and graciously allowed us to do an early check-in, so that we can freshen up before exploring the city. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of our room – It was much bigger than other hotels I’ve stayed in Taiwan.
Apart from a large bed, there was space for a writing desk as well as a sofa in the room as well!
We requested for extra pillows and they arrived within five minutes, which was pretty awesome service. For a budget hotel, I would have expected some wait time. 
While Orange Hotel may not be a five-star hotel, it is one of the best mid-range hotels you can stay at in Kaohsiung. For the service level you get, I say it’s definitely value-for-money. Daily breakfast is included and you can enjoy them conveniently at the basement level of the hotel everyday.
If you would like to explore other food options, there are many options available just outside the hotel as well! This particular restaurant – Zheng Zhong Pork Rib Rice – is definitely recommended. It’s just located diagonally opposite the hotel with a gigantic signage, so you will not miss it. The portions are generous and everything including the side dishes are delicious. What’s more, for a decently big portion like this, you only pay slightly more than S$3. If that’s not awesome, I don’t know what is. =P
