King Lo Tung Hotel

Water pressure is very unstable, and when there are tour groups staying it can get excessively loud and rowdy. The hotel is a bit old so soundproofing is inevitably not great — you might want to bring earplugs. The bed is comfortable and the air conditioning is cold enough; the room is fairly clean. Right downstairs is Luodong Night Market, which is great. The hotel only offers one free parking spot, but there are many parking spaces nearby. Compared to other tourist night markets it's easy to park and the parking fees are reasonable. Overall it's a hotel with fairly good value for money.

I didn’t expect much from the hotel after reading reviews before arrival, but I ended up having a nicer stay than I thought. The exterior is quite old, but the room was clean with a refrigerator (two complimentary bottled waters), a working shower, and a comfortable bed (the door lock is an older style). The front desk is on the 8th floor, so rooms on the 9th floor and above have views down over the park, the night market (lively until around 10 PM), and the town. About a 15-minute walk from Luodong Bus Station and 10 minutes from Luodong Station. There’s a FamilyMart on the ground floor. Staff mostly communicated in Chinese only, but they were hospitable.

It is next to a night market and has three double beds. A large sofa and table are perfect for guys. The staff is friendly. However, due to issues like the building's exterior, it may not be ideal for couples.

Liked: The location is right at the corner of the night market.

Disliked: The soundproofing is poor.

I booked a room online in advance, but when I arrived it looked nothing like the photos on the booking site — the whole place was terrifying. When I asked the front desk about it, they said their hotel photos hadn't been taken down yet. The pictures look great, but the actual place is falling apart. If that's the case, isn't that misleading consumers? Also, as a guest, how would we know how you run things internally? When we raise issues they just pass the buck. The air conditioning didn't cool — they even admitted it was undersized — yet they expect the customer to pay for their internal problems. Terrible. Absolutely awful.

Convenient location right next to Luodong Night Market, but the partnered parking lot is a short walk away. The room floor wasn't clean and had hair. The pillows were too soft — traditional cotton pillows — so I wouldn't recommend it if you like a soft bed. The mattress was firmer than a typical spring bed, the AC didn't cool well, hot and cold water pressure was inconsistent, and there was no soundproofing — you could hear noise from upstairs and next door.

The location is great, very close to the night market. The decor is fairly old-fashioned — it feels like it would have been a nice hotel in Britain back in the day — and the bathroom has a grandmother’s style with floral tiles and a non-white toilet. The shower water pressure is indeed a bit weak. If you have thick hair, bring your own hair dryer. The air conditioning is a window unit, so using a fan makes it feel cooler. Overall the place is reasonably clean and tidy. I booked a six-person room, which was quite large — you can open three or four suitcases — and there’s a sofa area where you can eat takeout. Breakfast is included but very Chinese-style: plain congee with side dishes, braised pork rice, steamed buns or toast. Drinks are only soy milk and coffee, and breakfast hours are short, only about 7–9 a.m. In short, the price is quite affordable and the location is excellent — the night market is right downstairs — but the building’s exterior and facilities are a bit older.

The restroom seems to have been remodeled, and it has a great sense of cleanliness. I think the cost performance is high too!
