Before you book, you need to know that you will share restroom with mall users until 10pm when the shopping mall is closed. Bath is strictly for guest though. Otherwise this is a good guest house. You may enjoy the 180-degree seaview if you book early. For Cuisine you may leverage all those restaurants and shops in the shopping mall. For the room itself it's really basic and clean, the mattress is fine too.

Checking out after hours with no staff on-site was a nightmare, especially when I called for assistance, but the staff on the other end had no knowledge of the hotel’s situation. How were they supposed to provide accurate information to help guests leave smoothly? In my case, I had already checked out, and my room key had been collected by the machine. So how was I supposed to open the gate? On top of that, the gate—which had no access control—led directly to a Cosmed pharmacy, with a sign explicitly stating not to pass through to avoid triggering the alarm. Yet, the person on the phone, completely unaware of the hotel’s setup, simply told me to walk down. At one point, they even asked, “Why do all of you have problems?” Is that really the correct way to respond? It was highly unprofessional. So, after returning the room key during off-hours, how exactly are guests supposed to leave the hotel?

絕佳港口海景

類似膠囊旅館，但是是設在已經改成文創餐飲商店的倉庫內。設施簡單，但是清潔整齊，價格也親民。 地點絕佳，就在高雄新濱碼頭旁，可以看商船和軍艦，享受海景。

海景能療癒一切

一切都非常完美！美中不足的是洗手間是與商場共用的…老實說非常不方便!! 無論是夜裡推拉閘門的滾輪聲或是因不熟稔門鎖開關方式而被關在柵門外都是對青旅的減分項...因真的蠻喜歡棧沐貳居的環境,真心希望能改善。建議1. 2樓商場的洗手間就完全由青旅使用;或是2. 在2樓的洗手間與商場之間多增設一道柵門,在當日商場營業時間結束後只需保留該柵門,通往洗手間的多道小柵門就可以直接開放以減少推拉柵門的不便性(以上良心建議)。另外就是面對商場這側的房間隱密性可能不是很好,因房間為和室拉門的設計,在營業時間中可能有與外來遊客曝光的風險,建議可增加屏風或門簾保障旅客住宿的隱密性。門鎖的部份是磁吸方式...在非24小時櫃檯有人的情況下不確定是否安全(?)但商場有夜間保全還是蠻令人安心的。小小的抱怨一下...洗澡熱水的溫度不夠熱, 另外建議共用廚房的流理台可以增加分類垃圾桶、廚餘桶...。抱歉意見有點多,但真的蠻喜歡棧沐貳居,有機會去高雄會再去住宿的(≧∀≦)ゞ
