4/4 found this review helpful

Stayed here the first week of December 06 for two days. Being a big man 6ft4 230pounds ex rugby player, i found the room to be very small. i had double room with two single beds for me and a buddy of mine. It was rather claustraphobic, there was really no space to manouvre. The room was clean and the beddings were made up everyday. The bathroom is tiny. The guy at the reception was good though. He gave us maps and was always on hand to help if we had any questions.

Overall if you are small guy on a budget, its an ok place to stay. You can walk to the Olympic MTR or better still take the longer walk to Mong Kok MTR which gives you an eye opener on local HK.

I wont stay here again not because its bad, its just to small for me

I went to Hong Kong to see a friend who was there for a study abroad program. I stayed a week and I must say this place is such a great place to stay. Room and bathroom were small but that's ok. There was a TV with 2 english channels on it, the beds were nice, and the place as a whole made up for it greatly. There was excellent service at the front desk and they made it so easy for me with the english they spoke very well. Shuttle was always on time and the maid tidied up the room every day. Bellman will push the elevator button for you and direct you out to the shuttle bus when it arrived. If I had any shopping, direction, or nightlife question they were always helpful by pulling out a map and pointing out all they knew (which was alot).They called taxis for me (one time the guest service guy went all the way up the road just to flag one down for me)! I was so very pleased with my stay and would stay there over and over again. Be careful, though, It's in Olympic City which is not an area where many other westerners stay. The place is still VERY safe, and was never in any worry that anything would be stolen. I was pretty much the only westerner at the hotel. But a 5 min. shuttle ride will get you to an MTR metro station which will open the doors to anywhere you want to go in Kowloon or Hong Kong Island. It's SUPER cheap! So are the taxis, but more expensive than the MTR.

On the food end, there is a McDonalds just down the road, but who wants to go there? When you're in HK, do as the HKese do and eat at a local restaurant. There is a place very close by, to the left of the 7eleven I always called the "Hot Pot" place because it's real name was written in chinese, but it had THE best food from Vietnames, Chinese, and Indian you could get it there. Plus the bakery shops are also another thing to die for. I kept getting the raisin bread twists that were always sold there.

Nightlife...not in Olympic City or the surrounding area. Take the MTR to TST (in Kowloon) or Central station (on HK island) and enjoy the nightlife there, it'll only cost you about $2 US to get you there and it's quick. Only trouble I had here was getting back. The MTR closes at 12:30am and to get back after that time you had to take a taxi. I was either in TST or on HK Island so to get back to my hotel it usually ran me between $4.50 US and $15 US depending on just how far away I was from my hotel.

I would definitely stay here again without a hesitation.

Stayed in this hotel in April 2007 for 2 nights,got there by Metro and got off at the station Olympic.Was not a good idea with big luggage as it took 10 mins walk.We had twin rm 1601,which looked exactly the same as the photo published.Yes,small,it is Hong Kong, and I just paid 50€/night & I can't expect a 50sq.m. room.I got what I paid for.New, nice & clean room.Not good situated for tourists but the hotel provides shuttle bus service to Mongkok,Kowloon Station & Temple Street once every hour.Even by taxi to Mongkok it is just a few minute drive & cheap. The service people(Front desk,housekeeping & concierge) were all very nice & helpful

I stayed in this hotel for a total of 10 days (in between I left for a short trip to Korea). The service at the front desk was excellent. The day when we checked in, the receptionist gave us an option to check out the double bedroom and twin bedroom to decide which one we liked. The room size is a little small compared to other north america countries, but this is a normal size in HongKong. We stayed in a room at 12th floor. The room is very clean and decent with some tasteful decoration. There is a in-room safe where you can keep your valuable. The free shuttle bus service is excellent. Each hour sharp from 8am - 10pm, the first stop is Pioneer Centre (MTR station - Prince Edward), second stop is Dorsette Seaview Hotel (MTR station - Yau Ma Tai), third stop is Kowloon MTR station (directly attach to airport express line). However, if you don't take the shuttle bus, walking distance to the MTR station is approximately 12 minutes to MongKok station (E exit). There are in fact some minivans and bus stop in the area, you just have to find out if the route suit you. Everyone in the hotel is very courteous and helpful, always have smile on their face. The hotel restaurant has a very modern design, on the second floor.

The hotel is located in an area where you can experience more local scene, compare to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui(where more tourists stay). Overall, we will stay here again due to the excellent service and the free shuttle bus service.

A tall thin building close to Hong Kong's most crowded area, Mongkok. Nevertheless, conveniently placed for the airport, Kowloon and Central as it has two MTR stations very close by.

Rooms are small but seem to have most things in them. Beds are a bit short and there is no internet access of any sort.

Clean, quite comfortable, convenient and well priced. Good for those on a budget.

  • Liked — Clean, convenient and well placed
