“Comfortable, smart, friendly ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Excellent location to feel Hong Kong. Spacious rooms, where everything thought over to details. Coffee maker and mini bar included. Comfortable marble shower. Good sound insulation. Free self-service laundry facilities. Breakfast unpalatable and uncomfortable. Always a lot of people can not be a large selection of dishes. This is one minus of this small hotel. Smart home system! Highly recommended.

“Best location in central of HK”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012 via mobile

a hotel located in Central very close to Lan Kwai Fong, this is one of my favorite reason why I stayed in this hotel. When I want to find some food just walk down the street. there's many different kind of high quality restaurant around. Most important is there's bars and club around. Just feel what a nice place!!!

“Hong Kong's Best Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Was looking for a larger room in HK, and found an oasis on the road one above LFK the main entertainment area of Hong Kong. The service, rooms, and free: wifi, gym, laundry room and soap powder, movies, minibar (yes full free minibar each day), free breakfast promotion, mate the place was awesome and soooo easy to book in and check out!!!

The design of the rooms is excellent and they have a full work station for an offce, marble bathroom, very nice layout, windows that open. If you want to be close the most happening area in HK side, for dinning and going out, as well as doing business in central....this is it...very impressive botique hotel that has everything you need and want and only two rooms per floor, simply the best!

Paul

“Great Boutique Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Great location, beautifully furnished rooms, excellent rainfall shower with loads of hot water, reasonably spacious room (but see below), good work-space layout, WiFi with reliable connection and high speed, didn't care for the open hanger space rather than a closed wardrobe. Included breakfast choices in Cafe O not like a 5 Star hotel but more than adequate, evening cocktails great, free mini bar is a great idea. The staff were excellent, very accommodating, cheerful and helpful. Some noise from the adjacent Dragon-i club at night but acceptable on higher floors.

Ovolo 2AR is good value for the money, especially if you book more than a week in advance. I will stay here again.

However I have one major complaint. The website lists the rooms as being 500 square feet. It is not, not even close and definitely less than 300.

My rough measurements suggest internal dimensions of 20ft x 12 ft and the shower adds another 4ftx6ft. The neighbouring Hotel LKF has rooms at 500 square feet and they feel twice the size, however they're also twice the cost.

I'm sure the stated room size is a hangover from the Ovolo's previous life as serviced apartments where in Hong Kong's fantasy real estate world it is accepted practice to over inflate the area by including the thickness of the external and internal walls and the share of common area including the elevator lobby and stairwell and then add another 10-15% for additional deception. This is a barely accepted practice for HK residents but totally unacceptable for a hotel with international guests and the Ovolo management should address this issue on their website.

If it wasn't for this lapse in judgement I would have given you five stars.

Room Tip: East Wing and West Wing choice is something of an overstatement, implies separate buildings when it...

Dear Johnw88.

On behalf of Ovolo I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for taking to the time to write such an in depth and detailed review of Ovolo 2AR. It is good to hear that you were able to enjoy our hotel facilities and in-room services. Your positive comments regarding our staff service are very much appreciated and have been shared with the entire team. Overall, we are pleased you felt that you got good value out of your stay with us and hope you will do so again in the future.

Regarding your comment on room size: our website lists 500 sq ft as the gross size of the room, a common practice in Hong Kong. The net size of the room as you refer to it is actually approximately 380sqft, or 35sqm. We have noted your feedback and will be reviewing the website to ensure guests in future do not feel like there is any misrepresentation. Should you stay with again in the future I would hope we have improved upon this to earn another review from you. Thank you.

Best Regards,
Marius Gamser
