Grand Hi Lai Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They let us finish the check in process before the room was ready. Then they brought our luggage to the room. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The view was also great. The location was very convenient to the light rail station and development stores. The only thing is that the lobby has very limited seats for guests to sit and relax."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Kaohsiung

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Kaohsiung on a budget is especially appealing during May, June, and September, when hotel prices might drop to lower prices. A stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal for exploring the city's key landmarks, rich history, and vibrant culture, including sunny weather, the bustling port, scenic views, impressive art, striking architecture, traditional temples, lively shopping districts, a charming ferry, and festive events. This affordable period offers great value for money for those keen to enjoy an affordable getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To Kaohsiung travellers, Hotels.com offers DealsOpens in a new window and Last-Minute Deals sections that may help you discover discounted hotel rates near your travel date. You could find reduced prices by checking these sections and enabling email alerts or push notifications to be informed of flash sales and special offers. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you’re more likely to see when rooms become available or prices drop for a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could potentially help you find better rates for your stay in a hotel in Kaohsiung. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could help you find a more advantageous rate.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels in close proximity to the city centre usually tend to command higher prices. However, thanks to Kaohsiung's superb public transport network, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
