My partner and I stayed here for 5 days because it was near his family. His family in Hong Kong booked this for us and I have to admit I would have chosen somewhere else.
I will start with the BAD things about the hotel.
1. It is in the middle of the smelly market, and at night its soaking wet (so flip flops are a no no)
2. I was woken up in the middle of the night by my partner who had just killed a cockroche (not good)
3. The housekeeping did not really 'clean' the bathroom floor was sticky and there were stains on the carpets and I found a bit of food in the corner!! (not us)
4. The staff always seemed busy and unfriendly. When I asked for a taxi to be booked to take us to the airport she said 'Depending on the circumstances I might be able to'
5. We received free toothpaste and toothbrush, and slippers and they provide body wash, however we did not receive any shampoo and also on the second night the housekeeping took away our slippers!!
6. The staff at the door did not greet you but just stood there (I think they are meant to open the doors for you when you are carrying lots of luggage)
7. They do not provide room service, however there are food places nearby
8. The walls are pretty thin, we heard people going at it at 3am til god knows what time, we turned the air con to max to block out the noise
9. You cant open the windows
10. The 'business center' for the internet use is a bit basic, the printer does not work
11. We had a little kitchen area in our room with a hob however it did not work as it did not connect to anywires! There is a space for a microwave, that would have been nice. But basically that area is a waste of space
12. The cockroache incident made me quite nervous
13. When we checked out, the staff quickly called housekeeping (i think to check to see if we had stolen anything) Felt that a bit insulting and then we were made to wait for the taxi (I was worried we would be late arriving at the airport) When I had asked several times that we needed to leave at the certain time
The good things about the hotel
1. I actually found the bed quite comfortable
2. The showerhead was pretty powerful, nice showers
3. The room is fairly big, with a nice large wardrobe, desk space etc
4. The did have a fridge at least
5. It is like 5 minutes away from the MTR
6. There are shops nearby
to be honest I dont know how much it cost, as our relatives paid for it, I think it was over 2000hk dollars for the first night, but I probably would not stay there, we only stayed there as my partners family stayed nearby, other than that I would chose somewhere else.
