Decent city hotel, room clean bed comfortable, smooth check-in/out, good location for excellent metro system, lobby bar comfortable with tasty snack menu and waist busting home made cakes, drinks not too expensive for a city hotel. Would stay here again if revisiting Hong Kong.

Cityview has got a great loaction at Waterloo Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is just a 5 min walk to the Yau Ma Tei MTR station. And right outside the MTR station is a local cafe where you can catch a nice breakfast. It is also within walking distance to a convenient store and the famous Temple St Night Market.... More

While the rooms may not be fantastic, the location makes up for (almost) everything else. Located just 2 minutes' walk away from Yau Ma Tei MTR station, it was extremely convenient for shopping, food, etc. The rooms were on the small and old side, but at least it was still clean and decent. Prices were reasonable too. Soundproofing was poor... More

So impressed with this hotel that we plan to stay when we return. No complaints about the room, we stayed on a higher floor, perfect, no noise at all. Great location, close to everything you'll need-full stop. Staff very helpful in every way, room was clean, more than comfortable. Read all of the reviews, they speak for themselves. A great... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights at the beginning of March (2013) as this hotel came highly recommended by friends. For the price and location, it definitely suited my needs. While the room was much smaller than expected, and not what I'd requested when booked, the staff were very friendly and as accommodating as possible considering the hotel... More
