“Very quiet, clean, comfortable with excellent service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This hotel has several different rates and rooms and we booked an Essential Place Deluxe room on the 31st floor that included free wifi (which was fast and reliable), the wonderful breakfast buffet, and an iPhone to use while we were in Hong Kong.

The rooms were very clean, quiet, with comfortable beds and many amenities. The safe had an electrical outlet to charge your items while they were locked away. There were also the usual items such as a kettle for coffee and tea, hair dryer, ironing board, Nespresso machine, shoe horn, clothes brush, bathroom scale, bathrobes and slippers.

One negative for some people might be the fact that the wall between the bathroom and bedroom is a glass window with a shade that can be shut. The room also smelled musty and we had trouble getting the right temperature (either cold or stuffy) in the room, though I think that this might be a problem anywhere in Hong Kong as the humidity is very high.

Every single staff person we dealt with was pleasant and helpful.

The breakfast buffet was huge and had a very international menu. The buffet included a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and donuts. There were several types of breads (including gluten free), rolls, and pastries. Chinese items: dim sum dumplings and buns, congee, taro cake, and water chestnut cake. Japanese items: noodles and sushi. Western items: cold cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, French toast, eggs, omelettes, potatoes, baked beans, stewed tomatoes, sausages, ham, fruit, yoghurt, sliced meats and cheeses.

There is a Business Center with 6 PCs and 6 Macs. They will also print boarding passes. Ming Court is a 2 Michelin star restaurant with good food and service.

Mong Kok is very interesting with lots of good and cheap restaurants (try Good Hope Noodle on Fa Yuen for their handmade noodles where we had 2 meals for around US$10 or a rice in a crock on Soy St near Ladies Market). The hotel offers a free daily culture tour of the area with a great guide that I would highly recommend.

The red MTR line which goes to Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel, ferry terminal, Central) is next to the hotel. The best way to reach MTR station is go to Lobby, cross sky walk into the atrium with Starbucks, go down 2 long express escalators, and cross the street. Mong Kok station can also be accessed in the basement of the mall but the walk is longer. the MTR was clean, reliable, and frequent (longest we ever waited for a train was 4 minutes on Sunday morning). We bought the HK$300 Airport Express octopus card and added HK$100 for a 5 day stay which covered 2 Star Ferry rides, 1 tram, round-trip deluxe fare to Cheung Chau).

There is a food court in the mall with many table service restaurants (Shang Shang Shanghai is good) and there is a grocery store in the basement of the mall. There is also a Chinese (no English signs) food court hidden in the same building as the hotel.

To reach the hotel from the airport, we took the Airport Express to Kowloon Station and then a taxi from Kowloon station (HK$35).

Room Tip: The higher floors have nicer rooms.

“first impressions are so important”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

When we initially arrived at the hotel and approached the front desk we were warmly greeted with two hot towels to wash our hands with. I was very impressed. The front desk clerk did not speak much English and it was difficult to understand her- I think she was new as she was having issues making keys and finding us a room. In any case, I asked about any complimentary upgrades but she was very adamant stating she did not have any available. She gave us our room keys and when we entered the room there was someone else's luggage on the chair. We immediately went back down to the front desk and informed the same clerk that checked us in and she looked like she was having a heart attack. She immediately gave us a free upgrade to a room on a higher floor with a view of the water as opposed to the city. The room smelled a bit musty as if no one had used it for awhile. The view, however, was outstanding and breathtaking. Shortly thereafter the Duty Manager called me apologizing for what had happened and offered to send up a bottle of wine. The bed was nice and big and there were about 10 gigantic pillows which made it nice and comfy for us. The shower stall was nice but the pipe attached to the shower head had been broken off and taped back on so the water pressure was in and out. Also the handle to the bathroom door broke off on both sides. With some preventive maintenance for the room and some more training at the Front Desk, this hotel could quickly become one of the best hotels we have stayed in.

Hi Abbey,

Yes sounds like our first impression for you wasn't the best. Baggage/room mix ups are bad enough, but it seems we added to the error (in between the heart attack) by trying to upgrade you to room not fully inspected. It's a human business - our apologies. Glad there were some positives, and hope that brings you back - and for a much better first impression - second time round.

Thanks

Shaun

“Affordable Comfort”

Excellent value for money, definately take the breakfast package as not much is open early around the hotel. Breakfast had plenty of variety (even for vegetarians), make sure you grab a donut on the way out & have it dipped in the chocolate fountain.
Having The Langham Place shopping centre attached to the Hotel via a walk bridge on Lobby level made for easy access to shopping, restuarants & cinema. Access to MTR (the only way to travel in HK) was straight through shopping centre, so location was not really an issue as it was only a few MTR stops away from whatever you wanted to visit, just ensure you buy an Octopus Card at an MTR station. Mongkok is very busy itself with the Ladies market a couple of streets over.
Staff were always pleasant & friendly.
Pool was excellent on top floor, with very nice & relaxing hot jacuzzi adjacent.
Would definately stay here again.

Room Tip: We only stayed in the basic room (Vital Place room), which weren't large by any standards, howev...

Stayed here many times both on business and pleasure. Go for rooms with Club Lounge access, they are simply the best and the Lounge is just perfect. Miss it already.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2012

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in August 2011. Everything about the hotel was fantastic and a unique experience. The staff could not be faulted at all, they were discreet yet attentive, friendly yet professional. The food was abundant with a choice of European and Asian food even for breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for this hotel or staff. It has to be just about the best hotel we have ever stayed in. I can't really comment on the value as we booked a major trip to Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong through Travel Bag and we just focused on the total, all I can say is we were very happy with the total price we paid for a truly amazing trip.
