Avoid this hotel at all cost. Although it was located strategically (in shopping belt and next to train station), its room was tiny and cluttered with furniture, damp, dark and smelly. Walls had stains on them and the air-cond vent was old and dusty. Very noisy as well because of thin walls and poor sound-proofing, so I could hear my neighbours talking, sneezing.... And the wooden bathroom door was rotting. Worst hotel I have stayed in in Kowloon. Never again!

Probably the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. I was charged HK$1600 for one nights stay in Nov. The smell in the room was awful (damp)and I did not sleep under the covers of the bed as I felt it was not that clean. Luckily I was able to book the Harbour Plaza for my remaining two night stay in Hong Kong. I would not recommend the Imperial hotel to anyone. Would actualy tell anyone I KNEW GOING TO HONG KONG TO STAY CLEAR OF IT. UTTERLY DISGUSTING HOTEL.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in this hotel. The 1st time was in 1997, and our reason for returning to the Imperial was because of it's excellent location, as buses stop outside the door and the MTR entrance is directly across the road. From this spot you can get anywhere quickly and cheaply.....no need for taxi's although they are cheap as chips in Hong Kong. The A21 bus from the airport delivers you to the door for HK$33.....which is just £2.00 sterling. The staff at this hotel are very good, nothing is too much trouble for them. The hotel itself has everything you need but it's only a 2*-3* so don't expect a top of the range place. The beds though are very good and comfortable, which after all is probably all you will be using the hotel room for as there is so much to do and things to see in this awsome city. We stayed for 5 nights....then moved over to Lantau Island for a long weekend, then returned to the Imperial for a further 5 nights.....I would go back there again....both Location and Price.....Excellent
Tip.......book a 2 bed room, even if you don't need it, as all the beds are doubles and you get a bigger room.

Hotel had a great location, right on Nathan Road and close to MTR Train system (transport was amazing very good and easy) We had
"dripping" problems with our air condition unit, lets just say if my suit case didn't have a hard cover case all of my belongings would have been soaked with water. Staff were very good as soon as we complained about it they moved us straight away to a different room. I
would only stay here again if i was desperate.

stayed at this hotel from 1 - 6 nov on 3 floor. Property has just been refurbished. Got an free upgrade from DBL to Trpl room. The room was decent. But first night we had to fight with Bed Bugs. The location is an advantage in TST, bang on Nathan Road. Very next door is the famous Chungking Mansions. The crowd as night is not recommended for young child. Lot of fake watch agents move arnd. TST MTR is just opp or i think just below the hotel. Indian food was not a problem plenty of options arnd and in Chungking Mansions also. The hotel is ok, but since location is advantage the price was ok. Most of the locations like promenade, star ferry, science museum are within walking distance of 5 - 10 mins. Not really recommended for small families with young children. Otherwise, this hotel can be considered.
