Location is the only advantage

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 2, 2012
I am staying in this hotel since 1986. Recently I read reviews of this hotel and found that it has recently re-furnished. I booked a partial-harbor view room. When I reached hotel, check-in was smooth. I was given room on 7th floor and being harbor view, it was the last one room. But the moment I entered the room, a bad smell welcomed me. I asked the housekeeping who came and sprayed the room but of no help. I asked the reception to change room. They allotted me room on 12th floor. I requested them to transfer my bags with as I had to go for a meeting. BUT reception asked me to wait in newly allotted room till luggage is transferred. I stayed and waited in my room for over 1 hours and after repeated calls at reception my bags were transferred to my room. But I was already late for my meeting so I had to cancel that. But no regret or sorry from the hotel side.
Next day as my flight was at 8 pm, while making booking I requested for late checkout say 4 pm and hotel promised me that they will do do their best to accommodate it. BUT when I requested at reception, they told me that maximum they can do is to allow checkout at 2 pm. I requested again and showed the emails etc. then they said that best they can do is 3 pm and if I want 4 pm, I will have to pay half day charges. It was strange for me as being so old customer, I was expecting better treatment from hotel. They asked me that after 3 pm, I can wait in lobby. But in lobby they hardly have one seating arrangement of 4 or 5 persons which is always full. So i spend around 2 hours in lobby standing.
The only advantage of this hotel is the location, right now the Nathan road, next to harbor. Rooms are small and I didnt find much difference even after refurnishing. Very small flat tv on the wall. No place to keep luggage but on floor. If you open bags then you can not move around in the room.
after this time experience, I will definitely try some other hotel next time.
Date of stay: September 2012
Room Tip: Dont pay extra for Harbor view room as its not worth as its partial only and very small view of...

Stayed for 2 nights! A nice hotel in terms of location. Rooms are very small, too difficult for a person to walk. It has connectivity to the metro station through its basement. The breakfast buffet was okay, not too good. Harbor and the con ton road is just 5 min by walk.

P.S. Some of the staff members were rude.

Booked to stay here with a group off friends at the end of September. The hotel is superbly situated in Hong Kong with very easy access to all the sights and public transport. The rooms are very nice clean contain everything you need but are a bit on the small side so be prepared to live out of your suitcase as there are no drawers as such to put your clothes into. A small wardrobe to hang things up that's about it. The staff were great and very helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough to help you to enjoy your stay.Breakfast is very good with a wide selection of choice and very flexible on times to enjoy it. On the whole its very good value for money.

I've stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years. It's clean, well run and uncomplicated. No surprises good or bad, other than it's considerably more expensive than it used to be.

Great location, good beds, enough room to walk and stand up straight in your room and nice breakfast buffet. I'll stay here again.

Room tip: I like the 17th and 18th floor, but you have to wait for the elevators in the morning...so add a few minutes.

Reading some of the other reviews I am not sure we have been tot he same hotel? Our Harbour view room was great, fresh, and very quiet. Fun bathroom with a glass wall(my husband thought it was great!!) We ate at Loong Yat Heen chinese, the best of the best. A resto that was fully booked, huge round family tables. The food was PERFECT and the wine was excellent. Service very good indeed. And the price, what a surprise, less than the price for one main dish here in Sweden at similair rated resto. The michelin chef a truly a great chef.

Thank you for staying at The Kowloon Hotel and sharing your experience with us.
Our hotel was newly renovated in 2009 and some up-to-dated features such as glass wall were being installed. We are happy to know you like it.
On the other hand, menu items of Loong Yat Heen are designed by our 2-starred Michelin Chef, which provides the most sumptuous Chinese delicacies in town; try different dishes there at your next visit and they can definitely amaze you!
Thank you once again for staying with us and we look forward to seeing you soon! Tack!
