The daily Express Start breakfast buffet is included in your stay, served 06:30–10:00 in the Great Room with both Chinese and Western options, and the coffee comes from a Starbucks coffee service.

Outside breakfast hours, the ground-floor Great Room offers free coffee and cookies 24 hours a day, so there is a hot drink waiting when you get back from the night market.

03Smart Space

A double-height lobby and 24-hour business center

High-speed Wi-Fi covers the whole hotel, and there is self-service laundry and luggage storage, convenient on multi-day trips or if you want to keep exploring the city after check-out.

Access

Location

The hotel is at No. 129, Dazhi Road, Yancheng District, Kaohsiung City, near Yanchengpu MRT Station, with the MRT and light rail about a 3-minute walk away. Kaohsiung Station is about 10–15 minutes by car, Kaohsiung International Airport about 7.9 km, and HSR Zuoying Station about 30 minutes by car.

The hotel does not run a shuttle or airport transfers. There is a short-stay drop-off area by the entrance, plus an accessible ramp at the entrance, which makes getting in and out of the car with luggage easier.

With a private charter

Both HSR Zuoying Station and Kaohsiung International Airport are a short drive away, so a charter can bring your luggage straight to the door and then head on toward Cijin, Sizihwan or Fo Guang Shan. The upside of staying in Yancheng is that you won't need the car at night: the Love River and Pier-2 are within walking distance. Day two of GO TAIWAN's 3-day Tainan–Kaohsiung seniors' trip covers Cijin and the Love River, and the 4-day Tainan–Kaohsiung–Kenting family trip also spends a night in Kaohsiung with a Love River stop, so staying here keeps you close to the hotel. There is a short-stay drop-off area by the entrance, the easiest spot for your charter to pick up and drop off; the on-site car park is mechanical with few spaces, so drivers park elsewhere while waiting, subject to the hotel's latest parking rules.
