Leesing Hotel - Qixian — Hotel in Kaohsiung

First impression after walking in is that the place is generally nice and it really meet expectations. Booking from internet was already printed out and stored in folder (maybe in case of computer failure maybe not but this is great impression, I know they were waiting) now lift, clean with nice buttons on the right height. Just before lift you can rest on the sofa with a glass of complementary OJ or delicious tea (with sugar). Time to get out of the lift ... you can see Hoover marks on the carpet along the corridor, everything is clean.

Breakfast has average selection of Taiwanese deliciousness, toast with jam or nutella, porridge with a lot of extras. OJ...

Pro’s: the bed was clean and comfortable enough and they have free bikes for the guests. All in all not...

The information of “resting 3 hours” on booking.com is terribly unclear. As we arrived to check in, the woman at the counter said really clear that she couldn’t speak English and used a translator to explain to us that we booked only for resting(3hrs) and the price was NTD$999. If we wanna stay for one night it would be three thousand something. We double checked on booking.com and with the Italian version, they didn’t show it was just for resting. (My husband is Italian) We could only see that once we switched to English or Chinese version. I think it’s not the hotel’s fault, but this is something so confusing for...
