My family and I stayed at the Royal Plaza Hotel early June this year for 2 nights, and I have to say, we had a wonderful time there. The hotel is attached to a shopping mall and an MTR (mass transit railway) station which can take you almost anywhere from Disneyland to Mainland China. A few minutes walk out of this hotel, and you will find thousands of shops and boutiques. Finding food outside this hotel is also within 5-10 minutes walk.

Now, on the hotel itself, we stayed in a deluxe room, which consists of 2 thick comfortable bed you would expect from any decent hotels. Nothing special about the room or the bathroom. It is however, very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast buffet was just about average to me. Lots of fresh local fruits which is good to keep you hydrated because HK is extremely hot this time of the year.
The pool was also nice with a jacuzzi and a steam room on the 8th floor.

Overall, if I do come back to HK again one day, (which I'm sure I will as it is truly a shopping heaven), I will definitely stay at the Royal Plaza Hotel again, mostly because of it's location, and the comfort I know it offers.

My husband and I stayed at the Royal Plaza for 2 weeks in March. We had previously stayed at the Hotel Concourse (now the Metropark Mong Kok) so were familiar with the area. We decided on the Royal Plaza because it seemed like a good deal for a great rate. We were not disappointed.

We travelled from the airport to Kowloon station via Airport Express (approx 20 mins) and then took a taxi to the hotel. I think there are buses available but this was the most convenient option. I highly recommend the Airport Express.

The hotel is located in Mong Kok near Nathan Road. This area is less touristy (so you may see fewer Westerners around) but you do see how Hong Kong people live. It is very close to Ladies Market, Flower Market and Goldfish Market too.

We loved the location as it is right on top of Grand Century Plaza shopping centre and the KCR station. The back entrance of the hotel leads into the shopping centre. The hotel is also connected by a covered raised walkway to most of the local attractions and Prince Edward MTR station (a couple of mins walk).

The hotel room we had was located on the non smoking floor. We were very impressed with the size of the room considering this was Hong Kong. It was very spacious. The bathroom was also very nice and the power shower was great. The room was very quiet (I'm a light sleeper so this is important). The view of Flower Market wasn't great but that didn't bother us.

There was a complimentary copy of the South China Morning Post delivered every morning which was great. The TV also showed quite a few channels including about 3 devoted to football which pleased my husband! I couldn't get away from English football even in Hong Kong.

Our room rate didn't include breakfast so we made a trip to a local bakery most mornings for fresh Chinese cakes & buns (Jimmy's in Prince Edward). We only ate in the restaurant once for an evening buffet (La Scala). It was good but the Langham Place Hotel's buffet in Mong Kok is superior for a similar price. There are so many places you can eat in the area you are spoilt for choice. We would recommend the food court in Langham Place shopping centre near Mong Kok MTR.

At the end of our stay we took a taxi from outside the hotel entrance directly back to the airport. It was quicker as we had an early morning flight.

We would not hesitate to recommend the Royal Plaza hotel and are looking forward to staying there again soon.

The hotel enterance is rather unique as it has a long drive way. Lucky we took a taxi and he knew where it was. The staff were friendly and helpful and the standard room was excellent.
It was like an appartment - with a massive bathroom with two showers and two sinks. The bedroom was spacious and elegantly designed. The living room had a sofa and dinner table and a small hall way. We were so surprised.
It was shame we only stayed one night. I didn't want to leave.

Prince edward mtr was about 7/8m minutes walk away. Lots of shops and resturants nearby and a great big shopping plaza next door - what more do you need!!!
Top class hotel.

When we first arrived at the Royal Plaza we were a little bit concerned about it's location, the coach from the airport kept dropping people off and we were the last ones, seemingly getting further and further from the action. (Quick tip, buy a return coach ticket from the airport, it's $40 cheaper than buying it at the hotel)

However, once we established our bearings the Royal Plaza is in an ideal location to visit Hong Kong and see all the sights. The hotel itself has a very grand entrance lobby, check in was very efficent. The rooms are clean, spacious and have an in room safe. The bathroom was nice apart from the actual bath which if you're under 5ft 5" tall won't be a problem.

The hotel is connected to a large shopping mall called Grand Century Plaza, it's right at the heart of Mong Kok in Kowloon and is also home to the bus station and a KCR station. It'll cost $5 each on the KCR to the harbour and takes under 10 minutes, alternatively it's a 35-45 minute walk (doesn't feel that long though as there's so much to look at).

The hotel is minutes away from the bird market, fish market, flower market and Fan Yeun St. market.

We had a great time and would strongly recommend this hotel and location. It's close enough to everything to make it easy, but far enough away so that the traffic doesn't keep you up at night.
