    Sometimes staff at the front desk wasn’t so friendly. They also had some problem as we paid late check out but still asked us to leave the room. I feels like they didn’t communicate very well.

    Good location and spacious rooms.

    The windows in the rooms cannot be opened. Also, the hotel does not provide bottled water, not even the first day, so if you come late at night (my case), you will need to find a store and buy it for yourself, which is a shame for a four star hotel… Also the air conditioning can get quite cold, but if you turn it off the air will get stuffy since you cannot open the windows…

    The room is nice and clean, beds are comfortable and the location is perfect, close to the metro. The breakfast is a nice mixture of western and Asian cuisine.

    It would be better if the breakfast can be varied!

    I chose this hotel based on the reviews from previous guests, and I’m really glad I did. First, the location is excellent—just a short walk from the MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station. The hotel is situated right above a row of well-known bars, which I personally enjoy. The area feels safe, even late at night. I booked a room with breakfast included, which was a great value considering how expensive food can be in Hong Kong. While the breakfast options didn’t change much from day to day, it was still convenient to have one less meal to worry about. One issue I did encounter was during my second night. The bathroom suddenly started emitting a high-pitched, sharp noise that came and went unpredictably. I first called the front desk, and a staff member promptly came to check it. I explained that the sound occurred intermittently. The staff then offered to move me to a different room. At the time, I declined, thinking I could tolerate it. However, the noise became much worse later (I even recorded a video of it), and it was hard to ignore. Eventually, the hotel upgraded me to a different room without any extra charge. I truly appreciate how they handled the situation—although the issue itself couldn’t have been anticipated, their response was professional and considerate. Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend this hotel to others.

    The breakfast was not good. Not many options, and we need to wait a long time to replace the food.

    In general, the rooms are comfortable.

    The flights of stairs leading up to the hotel is quite challenging for the elderly. Not easy to get taxi to drive up to the hotel. No other meals except breakfast is served at the very nice restaurant so we are obliged to go out for meals travelling up and down the stairs, which however looks fantastic when lit up at night.

    The staff at the front desk are friendly and helpful. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable with pleasant modern decoration. The breakfast is very good. The hotel is close to many lovely meal places and Tsimshatsui East area.

    Little bit old.

    Close to both Tsim Sha Tsui and Jordan MTR station, restaurants and stores are opened by late at night. Not so far from centre of city. Very convenient to have dinner, drinking.

    It wasn't bad, but I was expecting more for a hotel of given category and price.

    Hotel doesn't provide drinking water - in the morning you can take some from water dispenser in the restaurant area, but that's all (on my trip I stayed a few nights in similar hotel inn other area and there were water dispensers on every floor). Coffee and tee bags with kettle in the room - but only for first day, because they didn't resupply them (and also as mentioned before - there is a problem with water, so better you buy some). For me (185cm) the bed was short. Really steep hill to the hotel entrance.

    Pretty spacious room that looks good. We've got 2 separate key cards - very convenient.

    Breakfast could be improved — there wasn’t much variety. The scrambled eggs were quite bland, and there were no fresh fruits except for a banana. No water in the rooms/minibar available. Need to be purchased from outside

    The location is excellent, and the rooms are clean and spacious by Hong Kong standards. Good value for money!

    They did not provide drinking water in the rooms. The staff at the front desk wasn’t very nice. Our room smelled of smoke.

    It was walking distance to the bus and train stations. The staff at breakfast was kind/nice. They let is check in 1 of 3 rooms 1 hour earlier.

    The secretary saw we have really hard life with ordering food cause we needed an Hong Kong number but didn’t help us with that and usually I’d expect them to help with things like that especially when they know we are tourists and not much familiar with there apps and language

    Everything was clean, the location in very good location close to everything 5-10 minutes walking The hotel also pretty comfy unless that he’s seating up on a hill so every time you get the hotel sweaty
