    Hi I ask for extra bed and when I checked in the staff told me that I don’t need to pay extra anymore but when we checked out the staff ask my partner to pay for it which is weird because im on the phone call with the staff a day before we checked out and I said about the noise in the bedroom and that’s why if it’s okay to keep the extra bed in the living room for us to use before we checked out because w event sleep in the bedroom with all the loud noise coming from outside and she said it’s okay so we kept it but we didn’t know that we had to pay for it which is so weird.

    The gym needs a better piece of equipment that will allow to use a wider range of muscles.

    Loved the location, convenience and ability to work in the room. View was great too even though it was just territorial

    The overally moody reception team. All bar one (can't remember her name) acted like we were an inconvenience. Kurt and bossy. Attitude which was not good. Maybe they just didn't want to work that day( it was a holiday) however all other staff we encountered were friendly.

    The location was fantastic, the apartment clean and well laid out.

    The hotel access is a bit hard as Peel Street is very steep, so dragging your suitcase is an Olympic event by itself. Also, most taxis don't want to get into Peel Street, so access is from the top (Hollywood Road) or bottom (Gage Street). As usual for Hong Kong, city views aren't always great, whatever floor you stay on: direct view of crappy buildings with direct vis-a-vis. The neighbourhood has multiple construction sites, so if you plan to work in your room during the day, get earplugs and headphones.

    Space !!! These flats are way above HK standards, and way larger than HK hotel rooms. They advertise for 700 sqft (65 sqm) but in reality, they're closer to 430 sqft (40 sqm) in reality with is already bigger than a 5* hotel room at twice the price (I used my iPhone and Lidar to sketch a quick real size floorplan which is quite accurate). During my first stay, I was upgraded to 1000 sqft (95 sqm), which is close to 70 sqm.

    There are many steep hills and it is far from Hong Kong Station. I was tired of walking with a heavy suitcase. The taxi was refused because it was too close.

    The room was beautiful, large and clean. The staff was kind.

    The toilet had a slight odour, i think coming from the sewage. It would help to have an exhaust fan in the toilet to keep the smell out. When we used the dryer, even on the lowest or coolest setting, some of our clothes still shrunk slightly. I told the housekeeping staff, and she said we could borrow a drying rack to dry our clothes. That was really nice, but had I not told her about the dryer situation, I wouldn't have known that a drying rack was available to borrow. So perhaps information like this should be mentioned upon checking in.

    I liked the size of the room, except for the kitchen, it was very small, but the rest of the room was a good size for me and my family. The room attendant was very thorough with the cleaning, and always kept our bed and room clean. The room was adequately quiet, although there's some noise coming from the construction nearby. I also liked that the toilet was separate from the bathroom.

    A few things. On my first night I didn't sleep well because I was bitten by what I assume to be some kind of bed bug or flea. The staff then hot steamed the bed and replaced the bedding which stopped the problem. On the Friday and Saturday night there was a lot of noise from the bar / street just below my room. Went on until 2am or so. I lost my room key and was charged HK$300 for a replacement (no hotel has ever charged me before). The kitchen wasn't cleaned to the highest standard - everything felt a little greasy.

    The location is very central though the apartments are on a road that's a little steep. The rooms are a good size. The shower was excellent and I appreciated having a washing machine.

    We booked a room for 3 people. 2 adults (one pregnant) and our three year old daughter. But there was no where for 3 people to sleep!! There was only a double bed. So the hotel asked if we wanted to request an extra bed for $380hkd. But on the booking app, we had been told there is “no extra charge” for our daughter and a bed for her would be included in the price of the room. If we book a room for 3 people, there should be beds for THREE PEOPLE. Not only a double bed (double = 2 people). So, they told me, that at 19 weeks pregnant, either I or our daughter had to sleep on the sofa. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING. So we asked, if we pay for a room for 3 people, without enough beds, what is actually included? The lady replied ‘a toothbrush’ When we finally checked in, there were only 2 toothbrushes. I would NEVER recommend anyone to stay here. The customer service and lies just ruined our whole trip.

    Peel street is very steep and most taxi or Uber don’t want to access the street. You need to drag your luggage on the street.

    It’s huge ! I lived in smaller apartments in Hong Kong! Nice neighborhood with easy access to restaurants and not too far from the escalators.
