Zela Design Hotel

Generally the room was good, maybe a bit “over designed”, still the size & nature light (through the balcony) were great. The location was good, near to Arena Kaohsiung, even though the outside area of the building was somehow isolated.. Finslly I am a sustainability - oriented traveler, so I am ok for not making up the room daily, but I think the hotel should allow passengers to choose, and not to “guess”. Or another miss-communication is the front desk staff business hour, I had never imagined it was not 24 hours service, so when I left at 7:30 am the last day and needed to hand in my luggage for the staff to store for me, I had to leave them at a corner and message to the hotel by Line.. even though the staff was kind specially the guy with glasses at night!

Clean, comfortable, quiet room. Friendly, helpful staff. Very convenient to the night market and other stores and dining. Wonderful stay!

I was greeted by a female staff. She couldn't communicate in English but i could feel her sincerity. It wasn't check in time yet but she was able to give me directions to the nearest shopping mall where there's food thinking that I was hungry lol I really appreciated her consideration and when i came back the luggage was already in my room. Service was excellent. I will miss Kaohsiung and the people there. I felt like home when I was staying at Zela design hotel. There were Youbike stations nearby making it very convenient to get around.

Fantastic, quirky hotel in a weird but convenient location next to the train station. Main attraction is the decor; the owner (or the owner's daughter) had a lot of fun. The hotel lacks a restaurant; there is a 24/7 self-service snack and coffee bar, and the very helpful young lady at the front desk will be more than happy to offer neighborhood restaurant suggestions. The somewhat unlikely location is in a residential neighborhood a ten-minute walk from the train station.
