Like the location of the hotel and the cost of stay, but room is in just fair condition and sometimes I smell cigarette smoke in my room which is supposed to be non-smoking.

We stayed only for 1 night before catching flight home, quite happy with location, renovated rooms were clean and spacious as compared to newer hotels where rooms tend to be small. Easy to find local food nearby and the morning market nearby is bustling.

The main room light is malfunction. It could not be switched on. Make the room dark. Water leaking at shower head. Other than these two points, everything works well. Especially, shower water flow is strong and hot enough. Room is dirty. Floor and carpet are with lot of hairs and smudge. All towels were not changed. Nevertheless, bed sheet is clean.

Good pick to stay in Hong Kong island
This trip to Hong Kong is a total of 17 days, in between we have joined two tours to China, therefore we had checked in and checked out for 3 times. Every time the front desk representatives helped us quite a bit. The hotel only charged us HK$5 per luggage per day when we were joining the China tours. We will definitely booked the same hotel again next time we come to Hong Kong. The price is right, convenience location. The only negative things about this hotel are the room quite small and the wall papers need to be replaced.

Pathetic service
We checked into 2 rooms for 2 nights. One the day we checked out, we left our luggage with the concierge. When we returned to get our luggage we wanted to use the toilet before heading to the airport. Astonishingly the staff said they don't have any toilets for us to use, not even their restaurant. I was disappointedly dismayed by the type of service provided by this hotel. As paid guests, they cannot even extend the courtesy of letting us use the toilet. The staff even suggested we lug our luggage with children, cross the roads to use the toilet in the MTR station! Pathetic characters that bring a bad name to Hong Kong!

Nice to be back
One of the nice hotels in HK, not fancy, no glamous gold polished front lobby, no doorman to welcome you at the entrance, and not at center of attractions. It is a comfort, well furnished room, close to bus stops and within walking distance to MRT.

Actually, not too bad! I'd stay again!
The location was difficult to get to from the HKG airport - ended up taking a taxi. But once we figured out we could've taken a bus (A11), it was a lot more economical. The room was clean, cold, and although the mattress could be better, it was better than the previous Hong Kong hotel, we stayed in a few days prior. The bathroom could be updated. It was still in that 60's pink sink, pink bathtub, etc. Although, some of the rooms have been renovated, this one wasn't. But the staff was very awesome, and spoke very good English. Would I stay again? Yes.

Second time's not a charm, unfortunately
Apparently, I booked a twin room instead of a single-queen-sized bed one. Well, boo-hoo for me, they won't let me change it without an additional X HKD charge per night. So, I'm stuck with having two beds. On the plus side, I got to use the other bed for additional storage for my clothes because I was too suspicious of the closet -- it was dingy and smelly, and the carpet flooring had some weird stains on it. Hooray? I stayed here in this property previously, so my expectations were high. Well, sorry, but apparently, not all floors and rooms are of the same standards. The room I got slotted into was old, and the room showed its age as well. None of those modern trappings of the previous hotel room I was in during my first stay. I didn't opt for the food, so I don't have any idea if they food had improved (previously it was very basic). The wifi was very spotty, and I constantly got disconnected, especially when working off a VPN. The TV channels were meh, with only one English channel (TVB Pearl). The location is still awesome, of course: near the MTR, King's Road where all the buses stop, and a short walk to a tram terminus.
