We stayed one night in this hotel which we found excellent value for money. We booked through Asiatravel.com with a last minute deal it was $HK600 for the night. on arrival they did not have a standard room available so they upgraded us to an executive room on the harbourside. This I admit might colour my vision about our experience as the room was way above our expectation, large space, large firm bed ,large bathroom that was well fitted out and one of those showers to die for, you know the sort that propels you into the wall.
The staff were genuinely nice all from the guys on the entrance on ground floor (which does not give a good first impression) right through to the reception staff and the concierge, they must have all been sent to smile school.
Getting to the hotel was really easy. From the airport caught the MTR which took us to Hong Kong Central station (cost $HK180 about 35 minutes) from there we caught a red metred cab for $HK38 to the hotel close on five minutes. We could have waited for the shuttle bus from the hotel, or if we'd been real cheap skates taken the tram for $HK2. Its not advisable to do the latter as travelling on them with bags would be difficult getting on and off and its hot enough in them without having to labour with your luggage. You get in them from the back and exit the front paying the standard $HK2 for whatever the length of your trip. The location might not be to everyones taste as the retail in the area is firmly aimed at the local with dried fish parts seeming to be the only items for sale. Just up the road within 150 metres of the hotel is the Centre Street markets which are a typical Asian experience .ie very smelly and full of unusual items to eat. A real feast for the senses.
We stayed here for a further one night on our way back from europe this time stayig n one of the standard side rooms and found it was still excellent value for money.

Stayed here the night before flying out, and the Views from the higher floor (23) was great. The room was absolutely tiny though. Harbour view room, with twin beds, and no room to swing a cat. Upon check in, the receptionist told me it would take 2 hours for my room to be ready, (it was after their specified check in time), and when i was less than pleased, this 2 hours became 15 minutes. So they were attentive to guest needs. As with another HK hotel, I found the beds to be far too hard to sleep on comfortably. But housekeeping were prompt when I requested an ironing board. Location is OK, a short tramride to central (or about a 20 min walk). The pool area was nice, and the gym useful. The hotel has a nice bar also. If you need an overnighter before a flight thats cheap and clean, then definately choose this place. But if you need to stay in HK for longer than 2 night stopover, I would choose somewhere closer to central, with a bit more space in the room (and more comfy beds!)

What a fantastic hotel! We stayed in Hong Kong for 3 weeks, one week on the Island, one week in Macau and one week in Kawloon and this was one of the best hotels!
The service we had was fantastic, the waiters and waitresses tried their utmost to look after us and that was the general feeling about the place. Even the concierge was friendly and couldnt do enough. I would highly reccomend this hotel and would say its one of the best i have been to.

we booked our stay through british airways and got it really cheap, was expecting a tiny room but it wasn't actually that small and had a great view over the harbour. the maid came every day and changed the towels, room was very clean, beds comfy, nothing to complain about.
it was a little bit further away from the nearest MTR station than would have been ideal, especially in the heat we had, but it's still only 15 minutes if you don't walk too fast. some of the reviews i read said the lobby smelled of fish, we didn't notice it in the hotel though, only on the street outside, but it wasn't terrible.
all the staff were very friendly and helpful, the buffet breakfast was good too, loads to choose from. would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in hong kong on a budget and doesn't mind a little walk!
