“Comfortable rooms but inconveniently located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

This hotel was booked by our tour agency. Our room was clean and relatively spacious, with a balcony that looks out to the swimming pool but it was closed during our stay in winter. The streets below the hotel are lined with shops, eateries, 7-11 and Mannings so there are a lot of choices for meals and no worries about getting basic necessities.
However, to get to the town is really troublesome. You have to take the public buses or the free shuttle bus provided to get to any MTR station and the interval for the shuttle bus was quite long. There was also no shelter or whatsoever at the pick-up points, we and the other guests were freezing outside while waiting for the shuttle bus to come.

“Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

The hotel is nice and the service is good. The locality is also nice and the hotel has their own bus which takes you two fix destinations ...In case you have to go to the market there are taxis and local buses available which takes you to the harbour and you can take a ferry from there to other side of Hongkong....in all we found it convinient

Room Tip: Rooms are Good.

“Somewhat out of the center, but great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012 via mobile

We booked the hotel based on the references in TripAdvisor and it turned out to be a very good choice. It is located at some distance of the Kowloon waterfront, but with the very low taxi prices in Hong Kong that is no problem. A trip from the Star Ferry pier to the hotel would take 10 to 15 minutes and cost around 50 HKD. When travelling by MTR (which you should seriously consider in HKD) you get out at the Mongkok station and taxi to the hotel is 5 minutes and 25 HKD. The hotel itself is very good, definitely when taking into account the price. HK is very expensive if it comes to hotel, so we were very happy to get spacious and well equipped rooms for just under 2.000 HKD. Service is fine, breakfast is very good (at 140 HKD you may expect so). Definitely a place I will go back to on my next stay in HKD, whether it on a business or holiday trip (as it was this time, parents with 2 kids)

“Off center and off-putting”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

Our inept tour company booked us into this hotel at the end of a China trip. An in-room booklet says it is “the latest addition to Harbour Plaza Hotels & Resorts” and is “located near the former Kai Tak Airport area.” This area is now full of grubby hi-rises, garages, butcher markets, low-end shops and is far, far away from any tourist sites. If you want to see animals and fish being chopped up for sale and cars being repaired and painted on the street then this is the hotel for you. The view from my room #331 was of a workplace obscured by six floor-to-ceiling piles of black tires waiting to be sold. The room itself was sparse modern with a dark wood desk/closet/wall unit and white duvet, bed linens and towels. When I first arrived the room smelled vaguely of stale milk. The bathroom featured an above-counter sink and one miniscule shelf. No handrails/grab bars in the tub/shower. This was the first hotel on the trip which did not provide facecloths. Luckily I travel with disposable ones. The bathroom door and the ‘wall’ facing the room were made of pale translucent glass. The modish lobby is off-center and off-putting. It tries too hard to be avant-garde. Quoting that in-room booklet again, the lobby is “spectacular” and “designed with utmost innovation where an optical illusion has been created to feel as though you’re inside Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa”. So, it looks crooked. Must be wicked painful the morning after you have had too much fermented beverage. The buffet breakfast with Asian and Western selections was served in the ground floor Café 8 Degrees and light meals/snacks were available at the Garden Terrace near the pool area. Two bottles of water per person per day were provided in-room by the hotel since the tap water was questionable plus coffee/tea fixings were replenished daily. Because this hotel is so far from anyplace tourists might want to go, management provides a complimentary shuttle bus to Middle Road across from the Kowloon Hotel (where we could have stayed) and Tsim Sha Tsui shopping/restaurant/club area. A printed bus timetable is available at the lobby concierge desk. If a tour company you are considering has booked this hotel, think twice about what other bad decisions they may have made.

Room Tip: Stay ta another hotel that is coser to Middle Road.

“OK but very very very noisy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

I'm currently staying in this accommodation and have been for a few weeks.
The staff are exceptionally friendly the pool is nice and if you have been working late the room service is pretty good.
However since I have stayed here there have been an endless stream of guests from tour parties, cruise ships etc - they wake up at 6:00am onward and make a huge amount of noise so don't expect to get any sleep!!! The warning signs should have been clear when you see the notice to please keep your voice down to not disturb other guests
I'm glad to be moving out soon to a more respectful establishment
