King's Town Hotel — Hotel in Kaohsiung

The hotel is located across the road from the old Kaohsiung Rear Station (which was a plus point in the past, but irrelevant now that the Rear Station is closed). It's a 10 minutes walk from the current Kaohsiung Train Station and Kaohsiung Metro Station.||||This is an old hotel that probably has not been renovated for a long time. The room I had was clean, spacious, but the furniture was old, the carpet was worn; some of the drawers did not even function well. The room had adequate lightings, though I'd have preferred more lights.||||My room was on a high floor, and towards the back of the hotel. The window looked out to the next building and offered not much view.

Both the reception and housekeeping were very nice. However, the room smells damp and musky. The carpet was old and stained. There was a constant loud metal banging from up above my room the entire stay. I’m pretty sure others from the same floor heard it too. It sounded like something was going to drop.
