Chevalier Garden in the Ma On Shan part of Sha Tin was my home base when I was visiting Hong Kong…read more Chevalier Garden is a public housing estate comprising of 17 apartment buildings built in 1988. The estate has numerous facilities including a school and recreational facilities like basketball courts. There is also a commercial shopping complex full of restaurants and shops. And is well served by numerous bus routes at the Chevalier Garden Bus Terminus. Stayed in Block 17. It is a bit of a walk to the shopping center and bus stop, but not that far. The apartment I was staying in was decent size in regards to space compared to a couple other public housing apartments in HK that I have visited. It also has a view of Ma On Shan which is one of the tallest mountains in HK. There is a security guard stationed in the lobby as well as a key code entry system so it is pretty safe. In staying at Chevalier, I got that there was a real sense of community as people greeted each other as they walked within the complex. The reason for the three stars is that the ventilation in the building is not the best. If it is hot outside, it is going to feel the same inside. Making air conditioning a must. I had a few sleepless nights due to the hot weather. It also limits your ability to cook since a dish requiring high heat is probably not a good idea. Fortunately, there are a few restaurants downstairs so it would be easier to order these dishes as takeout instead and save you the trouble. Living at Chevalier is convenient from a commute standpoint too. They have a bus (85K) that goes to Sha Tin Station so you can get on MTR as well as a bus (A41P) that goes directly to the airport. It also is close to the MTR Tai Shui Hang Station though I did not use that station as I found the bus easier. While it may not be in urban Hong Kong, I did not find it difficult to get from Chevalier Garden into the city. There are plenty of commute options. I enjoyed my stay here. A bit of a distance away from the urban sprawl, but not too far.

I might be a little impartial when it comes to One Pacific Heights…read more My husband and I rented an apartment for 2.5 years at One Pacific Heights. It is an apartment...walls, a kitchen, a bathroom, windows...you get the picture. The apartment, although newer because is was built around 2010, is just like any other apartment you might rent in the area of Sheung Wan or Hong Kong. One Pacific Heights is a 5 star Yelp in my opinion though because of the service we received from the staff from the moment we moved in to the day we moved out. Gilbert, Henry, Tommy and the entire team really are what made our experience at One Pacific Heights exceptional. They were quick to address and assist us with any issue we had with our apartment. From A/C issues to making sure our dry cleaning found us, the staff at One Pacific Heights treated us with professionalism, courtesy and care. They made us feel like family. Not everyone on the staff speaks English, but that did not diminish the hospitality or service we received. The apartments themselves are quite nice. Newer, Miele kitchens with clothes washer, lots of light, balconies and only four apartments on each of the 50 floors in the building. Swimming pool and workout facility as well. The building itself is very close to a local dai pai dong, the MTR, the Fusion grocery, dry cleaners and more of the local feel of the famous Hong Kong spice district. Although there are many expats in the building from all over the globe, the building is settled into a very local neighborhood and it always felt more like a true Hong Kong experience to me (maybe versus living amongst a bunch of Americans in the mid levels, as many people do). The apartment was good, but the service from the staff is exceptional. This was why we would recommend One Pacific Heights to anyone looking for a new home

Located in the Sai Ying Pun area, it is a short train ride away from the downtown area which I like, has wonderful views if you get a higher floor and the hotel personnel at the concierge station are really nice and helpful. The housekeeping service is average but you get quality towels, toiletries and water daily. The rooms are flat out large and separated into a living are, sleeping area and bathroom area. There is plenty of closet space, a large work desk, a nice refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster, a two burner stove, pots, pans, dishes, hot water dispenser, knives and forks, a coffee maker a desk, flat screen, iron and ironing board and basically all the things you would want at home. The new MTR (subway) station is just around the corner. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park is across the street for exercising or swimming, Hong Kong University is a twenty minute walk away up hill. Trams to Kennedy Town are a block away and there are two supermarkets within four blocks. The view of the harbor is spectacular if you get a higher floor but the windows could use more regular cleanings. The hotel is easily reachable by the A-10 bus from the airport. The arrival stop is about two blocks away and the departure stop about five blocks away and the busses have plenty of room for luggage. Suggestions: 1. Kennedy Town for evening drinks; 2. Sun Tak Center for one of many breakfast places; 3. Walking along the Harbor; 4. City Plaza Four (Tai Koo MTR Stop); 5. Maxim's Palace for dim sum; 6. Tai Tam Country Park; 7.
