I stayed five nights in this hotel and was very happy about it. It is a standard type of hotel that you can find anywhere in the world; excellent for business trips or sight seeing/ shopping in Hong Kong, but not a place you want to spend time in other than that (but hey, it is Hong Kong, why would you want to spend a day in the hotel?). The location is great, close to Central, Kowloon, by the water and reasonably close to a metro station. The room I had was spotlessly clean every day and surprisingly spacious (the rooms are designed so you have extra windows, day light and space).
The staff at the reception were all very correct, but in general there was a distinctive lack of charm or genuine friendliness. The doormen and restaurant staff faired much better in my opinion.
Conclusion is: I would consider using it next time in Hong Kong (location, cleanliness and rooms), but because it was very impersonal I would also look for other options. Basically, if you stay there you won't regret but soon you'll forget it.

Room tip: Rooms on the back may not have a harbour view, but they are very quiet (apart from A/C unit noise)

The hotel was undergoing some refurbishment although it was not too disruptive. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable (excepting the beds were extremely HARD) and the bathroom was adequate, it was somewhere to stay while we explored Hong Kong and Kowloon.

We recently spent 5 days at this Hotel knowing that the rooms would be small but not knowing that their renovations had not been completed. It was advertised to be finished by August. When we arrived there was no front entrance, no lobby, nowhere to sit, no bar. We felt confined to our room at night as there was nowhere else to go and as we were travelling with family we had nowhere to meet up with them to have a drink etc other than our tiny room. Our room faced directly onto a sheer concrete wall of another building which was covered in moss and obscured much of the light in our room. The meal rooms were unattractive and the service was poor. We arrived fairly late on our first night and there was no one in the restaurant which we thought a bit odd. It took forever to get a meal and five of us had finished our meals when the sixth meal finally arrived. The lift to the dining room closed prematurely and on one occasion hit me on the elbow quite hard. Very unpleasant. The buffet breakfast was limited and catered more to the Asian guests. No such thing as a good coffee and all milk was UHT from packets! Yuk! I think the management could and should have done more to make up for the disgraceful disruption caused by the renovations. Very disappointing and we would never go back!

Dear Sir,

We are sorry to learn that your recent stay with us did not live up to your expectation.

The Harbourview has been making every possible effort to improve the service standard and provide a better environment for the guests. However, we have to admit that the renovation works had caused to you inconvenience during your stay.

We would like to take this chance to apologize for the service and food variety you had experienced in the restaurant, please be assured that your comment would be taken seriously and be communicated to our Food and Beverage team for improvement.

The management would spend more effort to ensure timely and intensive trainings are provided to the frontline staff so that they could handle these matters more professionally.

Once again, thank you very much for taking your time writing us the feedbacks. We will take your words seriously and improvement would be made definitely. We sincerely wish that you could give us a second chance during your next visit to Hong Kong.

Please don't mistake this hotel for the Renaissance Harbourview, they are two very different hotels. This one has very small rooms (nowhere to store your luggage!), limited views, tiny bathrooms. We had to change rooms upon check in as there was a terrible, stuffy, smell in the first room. It is not a very well thought out design and I am sure they get many customs that mistake it from the Renaissance Harbourview around the corner. I will post some photos to show the room, which had a tv screen smaller than my computer screen!

Dear Sir, thank you very much for sharing comment on your stay with The Harbourview.

Thank you for raising the issue of similar names between our brand and the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel on the same street. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused but please understand that we are unable to alter the name of either our hotel or another.

Comparing with other hotels, our guestroom and bathroom are both not big in size, however, we are trying our best to offset this weakness with our prime location and courteous service. Regarding the smell and the ventilation in the guestroom, we have briefed the housekeeping and engineering team to improve the overall standard.

In fact, we are replacing the small in-room televisions with new ones with larger screen in all our guestrooms in different phases and this process is expected to be completed by March 2013.

We sincerely wish that you would offer us another opportunity to serve you again.

The Hotel’s lobby was being refurbish but it did cause any inconvenience or noise. The staff were very helpful and the rooms were clean and ok in size. The location of the hotel was good, close to restaurants and attraction.

Room tip: Close to most attractions
