Checking in was not as efficient as I would have liked bc we had a party of 8. The lobby area is small, so with 8 people & luggage we took a large portion of the lobby. The service desk gentleman was nice. Rooms are very very compact for 2 people. The bathroom is small but efficiently designed. It just takes some strategy of placing your clean clothes in a very tight space. read more

Chose to stay here with my extended family of 8 people. We stayed in different types of room: 2 two-person rooms and 1 four-person family room. If you're traveling with 4 people I HIGHLY suggest getting the family room. The two person room barely has any room compared to the four person room. In contrast, the family room has more room, a desk and chair, and a spacious bathroom and tub (the 2 ppl room only has a standing shower). They have shuttle buses that runs from 10am - 5pm to different locations in the city. Unfortunately, our arriving flight was after 5pm but we easily were able to take the A21. Their buses run hourly, but wait in the lobby 20+ min prior to the hour to board the bus...the bus promptly leaves on the dot and waits for no one. In the room, they provide complimentary water bottles per person and coffee/tea. There's also a minifridge and no microwave. If you have a choice, opt for a higher floor. I stayed on the 25th floor and the view was awesome. The best part of this place was that they gave you a fully charged smartphone (per room) that you can use as a phone or as a hotspot! Just set a profile and change the hotspot password and you're good to go! read more

Booked this place as the reviews seemed solid and we found a great price. Overall, we had a good stay. Note that we're from the US, so travel expectations may be different. Pros: -Convenient location (public transportation, food, etc) -Great friendly service from the front desk receptionist to the bellhop -Clean, solid quality rooms. Size seemed on par with other hotels in Asia (smaller than rooms in the states). Our twin beds were quite close to each other, but that's to be expected in HK. Stocked amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body gel, toothbrush/paste, etc. They even provide a few bottles of free water. -Some rooms offer a glimpse of city views -There's a free hotel shuttle that stops at a few different spots in the city. I believe it makes its rounds every hour or so. -They provide you with a nice little guide with the shuttle schedule and local recommendations on things like restaurants -Bonus: each room has a cell phone that can also be used as a hotspot. I didn't bother with it as I already have free data on my own phone and didn't need to make calls. Very nice perk if you need it. Cons: -I wished they didn't have frosted glass for the bathroom enclosure. It doesn't provide 100% privacy as you can still sort of see the outline of the person inside. For some people traveling together, this can be awkward; can all be fixed with an extra coat of paint. While it creates a modern vibe, I don't see any benefits of having this semi-opaque glass. read more

香港旺角帝盛酒店 - Standard room. Bathroom on the right - wished the glass walls were less see thru. - Hotels Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Great Hotel location, very convenient for a sightseeing or buisness trip. Moderate accommodations but worth it for its shuttle service. The rooms are small, I stayed in a king bed room and there was very little room for anything other than the bed. My friends stayed in the 2 bed accommodation rooms and they had 2 twin beds in the same size room as us. We made very good use of our window ledge and placed all our bags there and just left them open instead of unpacking because there was no where really to unpack to. The beds are hard but that is typical in most hotels here. The bathroom is small but efficient, I really liked their shower with the overhead rain showerhead. The staff is very friendly and speak English. Housekeeping is great about sending extra pillows, blankets, soaps or whatever you may need as long as they have access to it. Also on a rainy day you can ask the bellhop at the front door to let you use an umbrella for the day if you forget to bring one. The gym is on the 3rd floor and is standard in what you would expect a hotel gym to have. Nothing fancy just enough to get your sweat on. There is a buffet style dinning hall on the 2nd floor. The food there is ok and the price is very cheap, I would go there at least once to check it out. They do also offer lunch, dinner, seafood specials and dim sum later in the day. We didnt try any of that because there is sooo much local food within walking district that didnt have a chance. Their shuttle service is their most appealing service! It has routes directly to high traffic areas of interest like the ladies market, temple street. the kowloon MRT station, Hong Kong station, the shopping strip mall and can get you pretty close to a few monuments. They dont take you directly there but will save you a little in transport cost since the shuttle is free. Also there is a Taxi stop right in front of the hotel so it makes it easy to get a lift directly to where you wanna go, but be advised taxis only take cash. Also they have a cell phone in each room that is free for usage for its guests that can be used for local calling while out about town. The best part about the cellphones is they have mobile WiFi!!! Works great! It also has a mobile app with a tab for sights categorized by location, this was very convenient for planning tourist sightseeing days. Just be sure to check times and dates of where you want to visit because some are closed certain days. There is a bank across the street for easy access to money or foreign exchange but be careful that exchange rate is killer. There is also three 7/11's within walking distance for water, coffee or whatever. McDonald's is across the street, a fruit market and lots of local eats. Overall, great place to stay especially if you plan to sightsee and travel between kowloon and the main island of Hong Kong. read more

The room is small but it's Hong Kong. Very friendly and helpful staff. If you book her they offer free cellphone and shuttle bus to take u to tourist area. I personally like that idea. The place is very clean. They also have a fitness studio inside and also a restaurant inside. The hotel has aircon but no heat. Yes it's Hong Kong. The room is very cozy. Nice high ceiling. Funny the hotel looks really nice but surrounding stores and shops and residential area looks really run down and crappy and make the hotel look out of place. The hotel is located in a tourist area. So prices around here is a bit more expensive but it's ok. Like this hotel read more

TripAdvisor is my gold standard for hotel reviews and I use it heavily when selecting hotels. It rarely lets me down but unfortunately, this was one of those occasions. I'm still scratching my head on how the Dorsett Mongkok won a Traveler's Choice award! We arrived in Hong Kong in the late evening, checking into the Dorsett around 9:30 PM. The location was claimed to be incredibly convenient to the Olympic MTR station which I must disagree with. The walk from the MTR station is indirect and a good 10 minutes plus. Check-in was fairly easy but they only offered one key. The staff here proved to be incredibly robotic and lacked customer service. We certainly didn't expect a huge room (this is Hong Kong, after all) but the room was quite tiny. Cleanliness is important and while I won't call the place sparkling clean, it was suitable. The bathroom didn't offer much in privacy so be prepared for that. The worst part about our stay was the fact that the hot water didn't work properly the first 36 hours of our stay. The water would either get only lukewarm or only last for about 2 minutes. By day 3 of our stay, the hot water worked just fine. The WiFi is provided by a mobile phone hotspot in the room which also allows you to make free international phone calls. The WiFi seemed to be fussy the first night but after that it worked perfectly. The location in Mongkok is a mixed bag. You certainly get a true Hong Kong experience as it's not a popular tourist area. It's filled with locals so if you prefer a more local experience, Mongkok is a good choice. I like Mongkok but I did not like the long walks to catch the MTR trains. There's a hotel shuttle around Mongkok and Kowloon but it's a pretty long wait. Service certainly wasn't their strong suit at the Dorsett. We didn't have any issues with service but I don't ever recall being greeted in the lobby and checkout took a while as the staff seemed short handed. I don't see myself returning to stay at the Dorsett Mongkok. There were too many minor frustrations and customer service is important to me. If you seek a no-frills hotel stay, don't let my review turn you away. But the Dorsett just wasn't my cup of tea. read more

香港旺角帝盛酒店 - Lobby - Hotels Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I had a great stay at Dorsett Mongkok! The lobby is pretty small but had a really grand and beautiful chandelier. It smelled so good too, although I noticed that all the hotels we stayed at during our trip had the same pleasant smell. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My sister and I originally booked a standard room which was super tiny -- we knew this ahead of time based on photos but it fit our needs and budget. My mum decided to stay with us for a few days while visiting her family though so we upgraded to a super awesome, much bigger room(2608) with a gorgeous bathroom and incredible view! The room was super clean and decked out in the standard amenities. The best thing was that all the rooms have a free smartphone with unlimited calls to a few countries(USA, China, Japan, etc) PLUS wifi hotspot to use! We pretty much took it everywhere. It was so, so helpful for someone with no sense of direction. Oh yeah, the rain shower head was pretty incredible after long days of exploring. I beat my steps record everyday! I found the location to be fine -- plenty of local spots to eat at in the immediate area plus a 24hr Mcds and 7-11 around the corner. The Olympic MTR station is also not too far away -- we timed a 6 min walk. The Mongkok MTR station is a tad further but there is so much more goin on in that area that we made that walk a few times too. We didn't make use of the fitness center, restaurant or shuttle buses so no comments on those amenities. Overall, very happy with our stay. read more

I'm very satisfied with this hotel. The hotel and the room are clean. The room is small, but it's HK so it's normal. I'm usually very picky with washrooms but this one was very clean and they also have a rain shower so I'm very happy with it. Their washroom has transparent walls. Although it's frosted, you can still see the shape of the person so can see wathever he's doing. I hope privacy isn't an issue with whoever you booked the room with. The hotel offers a free android phone with unlimited calls and data so you can carry it around and use it for wifi hot spot instead of buying a sim card. They also offer a free shuttle bus to main touristic locations such as mongkok, tsim sha tsui, etc. They also have free candies from 6-7pm at the lobby! The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, with a walkable distance from mongkok and olympic station. It has many restaurants nearby such as cafe de coral, fairwood, tim ho wan dim sum, etc. Food access isn't a problem. My only issue is the sudden cigarette smoke smell in my room. My room was on a non smoking floor and I don't think it came from the neighbors. However, suddenly during the stay, a strong cigarette smell came into my room (probably through the fans) and it happened twice. I complained to the concierge twice and they said they will send someone but they never did. However, the problem never came back after so I just let it go. Overall, this hotel is nice and clean and offers many perks for a good price. Would definitely recommend it. read more

Prior to going to Hong Kong, I quickly realized that rooms in most hotels would be modern & clean but definitely far from spacious. Well, that is unless you're willing to shell out some seriously big bucks. When traveling, I tend to not spend most of my time in the room anyway, so it would be ok. Just as anticipated, the room was tiny yet ultra clean & modern, but if you don't want to shower in a teeny, tiny space then you will need to do a serious upgrade. With our two suitcases, there wasn't much space to walk around the bed, so we put one of them on the window sill which did look out towards a lovely view of vibrantly colored buildings similar to the high rise condos in Miami Beach but with mountains in the background. The view definitely was quite nice on the 18th floor, I must admit. Every time we entered or left the hotel, no one on staff was there to greet us on our way with a smile like we had experienced in Vietnam but it's a very different culture in a very different city. The hotel itself is very clean & modern but has a very cold, cosmopolitan feel to it. The absolute best part of the hotel was the fact that the room has a smartphone for the guests to carry so that it provides your own smart phones with constant wifi or you can just use theirs; however, if you are like us & have iPhones, you will most likely prefer to use your own on the wifi because it's much different using an Android. The main reason for my title to this review about this hotel not having friendly staff is because on the first afternoon, we wanted to eat lunch in the restaurant on the 2nd floor. When we got to the restaurant, we were told very coldly that there was no way we could eat because they had a reservation for a large party, although there were literally at least 10 tables open sporadically throughout the restaurant...not just a section blocked off. I explained we were staying in the hotel & the server shrugged her shoulders at us. We went downstairs & I was so annoyed, I told the manager at the concierge. He called up to the restaurant & told us that there was a table available for us on the patio & asked if that was acceptable. Yes. Sure. Of course. We just want to eat & head out. We are not the type to sit there forever after we eat. We headed back upstairs & were shown to the patio & told to sit. I asked if we could get menus & were told its buffer only right now & the server walked away. Um. Ok. Can we order a drink over here? I followed her & told her we wanted two soft drinks & she just nodded. We went to the buffet & ate the food, which was decent but not great. The food was quite heavy & did not sit well at all & put a huge damper to the rest of the afternoon. I had to chase down the server again to get the check so we could go back upstairs & wait for our stomachs to settle. Listen, each person or group of people will be looking for different factors when choosing a hotel room in a city. I will give credit where it is due & exclaim that the location is convenient, the hotel & rooms are clean & modern with a wall covered in mirror which was convenient for getting ready purposes since the bathroom is way too small for more than one person to be in at a time, the smartphone is super convenient, helpful, & just plain awesome, & the price is pretty reasonable. I just don't appreciate the coldness I felt at the restaurant or each time I walked in & out of the lobby. If you're anything like us, the types that live it up the entire day & night & often are not ready to go to the room just because things are closing, the best part of this hotel's location is a small park across the street. Every night we would get a beer from 7-11 & go hang out in the park...even when it was pouring outside!! It did round out the day & night & afforded us that extra hour to unwind & reflect on the day's events. I did enjoy this very much. read more

Oh Dorsett Dorsett Dorsett.. First of all, for their price point starting at around $235-$240USD per night. This hotel is in no way in the class that they charge at.. I even payed more to around $310-$315USD per night so I could be upgraded to their executive suites and have access to their executive lounge and no way was this even worth it. After skimming through the pictures of their rooms on the net. I think all their rooms are actually all the same. They don't actually have larger or more luxurious rooms. The only difference is if you upgrade to an executive suite, they just put you in the higher floors (27 being the highest floor) and then you can have access to their executive lounge. Now let me tell you about their Exec. Lounge. The food was so simple and so cheesey. It was nuggets and fries which were both soggy and oily... the lounge itself was the size of a room in Shangrila Kowloon and the wine beverages which were white wine only was the cheap kind and they gave you paper cups to drink out off...classy... there is a massage chair in. The Exec. Lounge, now if you want to feel like you've been in a car accident, then pls go ahead and try this massage chair. Especially the foot massage part... The Elevators. There are 2 elevators that service the entire building.. therefore the wait time for the elevator takes so long and by the time you get in it's jam packed all the time. Oh and BTW. the ventilation system in the elevator is when the doors opens to pick up or drop off a guest on a floor.. so that means when people go in either of the two elevators and they are carrying food, the entire elevator reeks of the smell and not to mention if a passenger has the flu or fever or conjunctivitis, good luck to the rest of the passengers and hope they don't catch the same sickness... Breakfast. Their breakfast was so substandard. The food was of low quality and some of the food was down right dangerous. Meaning I tasted this ball like food which I guess was deep fried. I bit into it and it had a custardy liquid in the middle of it. Approximately 2 seconds after biting into it, the ball food left an aftertaste like the food was dipped in some petroleum chemical waste management system.. I had to spit out the remainder in my mouth and drink the water on the table. The only thing good in the breakfast buffet was the rock melon, the dragon fruit and the bananas and that's because it was God that cooked up that recipe and not that Dorsett Mongkok. The staff however are helpful and look busy and keep to themselves. I think the hotel survives at the price point they charge because Hong Kong is such a transient city with many unsuspecting guests from all over the world that doesn't know any better about accommodation in HK. Basically the hotel would be a fairer hotel if they dropped their price point to about $90-$120USD and then I would have no complaints. It just so happens that your boy here is a regular visitor of HK due to my work and I've stayed in countless hotels both in HK and all over the world. So these guys ain't foolin me not one bit.. Dorsett Mongkok please drop your price please as you are not in the same League as the Cordis in Mongkok, the Stamford Hillview in TST, the Crowne Plaza in Tseung Kwan O, the Le Hotel Elan in Kwun Tong and others that your price point garners. read more

Dorsett Mongkok is a small boutique hotel. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel provides a free shuttle with scheduled times leaving on the hour every hour from 8am - 9pm and has 3 stops during the day into evening. At night there are 2 stops. First stop is Langham place/Ladies market. Second stop is Star Ferry/Canton Road/China HK City. Third stop is Kowloon station for airport express. Suggest going early to your stop because seats fill up and they don't wait till the exact time usually to leave. Sometimes leaving early. Late shuttle leaves hotel at 10pm, 1030pm, and 11. First stop is Ladies market about 5 minutes out. Star ferry is about 15 mins from hotel. They also provide the use of a cell phone in each room which is awesome if you're so far from home. Can call 9 countries: USA, UK, Canada, China, Australia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. Unlimited calls. And you can use the phone as a wifi hot spot as well. Definitely helps in navigating around Hong Kong. The rooms are a tad small. The bathroom area is a glass enclosure with a sliding door. Small bathroom but works okay. It has frosted glass. Beds are a bit low but comfy enough to sleep on after a long day of walking. AC would be cold when you sleep but when you wake up, it's a bit muggy. Overall a good experience. Recommend the hotel. Nearby are 7-11, Watsons, McDonald's, and a post office. Definitely would stay here again. read more

Delayed post - stayed late June 2016. I booked the hotel mainly because of the free cellphone with free internet and internationals calls. So, the room was small compared to Western standards. But this is HK and it is what it is. I laid my bags next to the window. I was on the 22nd floor, so view was alright. Bathroom was also small, but so what. I had no issues with the more important things like a clean room, good water pressure and hot water. Bathroom was clean, although there are streaks of black/greens (mold?) on the tiles. Actually, I found this on all the SE Asian hotels, since they are all surrounded by water and moisture. Staff was friendly! And the lobby smelled so good with its distinct smell. This helped because outside didn't smell too good. Breakfast buffet had a great selection of Western and Eastern dishes. And even though it is breakfast, this could actually qualify as breakfast and lunch, Brunch. Neighborhood seems a bit sketchy. But I still felt safe walking the grounds alone at 10PM on a Friday. I had jetlag, and I got up at 4:30 AM and walked over to the 24hour McDonald's right across the street because I got hungry. I was a little scared this time because there was no one in the lobby, and if I got mugged or killed, no one would know. But... I walked the 30 feet to cross the street. And survived. The McD's had a great menu! Check out the pics. Back to the phone - it worked well! I called the USA and Philippines several times, and my calls worked, good reception! I used the GPS while I was out and about. Happy camper. read more

Pro: English fluent staff, on site dining, close to 7-11, amazing shuttle service, free usage of umbrella Con: Rock hard bed that can kill, slow elevator service. Our party flew into HKG, got on airport express and taxi over to the hotel because we didn't know about the free shuttle service upon check in. Which was a mistake on our end, one of the highlight for this Dorsett was the shuttle service and guide map that allow us to roam all over town. This being the 3rd time into Hong Kong, but first time stayed outside of HK island, Mongkok was an interesting place to be in close proximity to Kowloon station and all the madness on Nathan Rd. In turn, Dorsett was just like it's surrounding, full of energy, even in comparison to the rest of Hong Kong. The check in gentleman was professional in requesting for a credit card for the usual deposit, went over the shuttle schedule and dining options on the 2nd floor, and got all 4 of us registered into our 2 rooms. The rooms were about what we expect in Hong Kong, small yet functional, comes with a free local cell phone for calls and mobile hot spot. The bed in both our rooms were just way too hard, we might as well slept on the floor. After a few nights, all of us had issues with our back and joints. That had to be the biggest drawback to this place, it's not cheap beds or worn down, just hard as rocks. It was such a nightmare that when we spend one night in Macau, all of us were dreading of sleeping back at Dorsett's bed again. Next time I stay at the Dorsett, which will happen due to the shuttle service, I am bring a foam top for the bed. The breakfast in the morning is a quick buffet service at 50 HKD, quite a bargain for what they provide. read more

Almost no one here speaks English. Make sure you bring a translation device. The rooms are good and the hotel is very adequate. No complaints. Update- Avoid the Concierge staff they are amazingly rude. Update 2 - Taxis outside this hotel should not be trusted. I was ripped off by one of them. We were not allowed to use the shuttle. They saw me coming as a westerner and said no. read more

This is one of the worst hotels that I had ever stayed in HK; I've called the hotel front desk said that I won't be able to stay for one of the scheduled nights but they still charged me for the night that I didn't stay anyway. It is very unfortunate that the hotel management didn't accommodate the customer request. To be a customer oriented,hospitality hotel; I would think they will listen to the customers and make the proper accommodations, but they didn't. You can't cancel the reservation once it is booked. read more

$60 for a room on expedia for a room like this? Yes! Ok, I just stayed one night, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Situated in an older, less fortunate area of HK, Dorsett is an oasis. When my taxi pulled up to the curb, a doorman quickly helped me with my bags and took them upstairs for me. The gentleman at the front desk even took the time to show me how to use the free 3G smart phone in my room (ie. how to create a hotspot), and the doorman showed me how to use all the light buttons in the room. The service here is refreshing. My only complaint is that as I was checking out, I was in a bit of a hurry to get to HKG airport, yet the lady at the front desk wouldn't let me leave until the maid went to check my room. This is the first time I've ever had to wait for a maid to check. my. room. Don't you do that when I leave? Sure, that's a nice gesture if I left something in there, but she said it was to check that the 3G smart phone was still there. Are you saying I would try to steal it? Dorsett should take a hint from New Millennium Hotel on the other side of Kowloon and just charge the patron if we take the phone. I'd rather battle a credit card charge than miss my international flight. Please rethink your processes. read more

An okay stay in Hong Kong. Thanks to the airport express buses that are complimentary at Kowloon station (express airport train station), I was able to get dropped off at Dorsett Mongkok. At first impression, the lobby seemed cozier than photos I've seen on Trip Advisor. My room was located on the 6th floor. Room was spacious according to Hong Kong standards. Bathroom was very compact, reminded me of my European hotel stays. Beware that there is little to no privacy when using the restroom. The bed was hard and moved around a lot, seemed a bit unstable. Although I was on the 6th floor, throughout the night, I can hear EVERYTHING from people in the hallway to traffic from outside!!! Thank goodness I only stayed in Hong Kong for 2 nights or else I would go crazy. The closest subway is Olympic Station, about a 10 min walk. Do be careful walking around at night and it seemed sketchy. After exploring around Hong Kong,'I felt the location of the hotel was far from attractions and shops. For my next visit, I will be sure to stay on Hong Kong Island! read more

Hotel is just fine. It is clean & the staff is friendly. Lobby smells quite nice, too. Our room was very small, which was OK since we were only in HK for 2 nights. You'd better be comfortable with your roommate, though, because the bathroom is carved out in the corner, separated only by glass and a glass sliding door. Leaves very little to the imagination. There is a fitness center which we did not use, and while we set foot into the restaurant to see what breakfast looked like, we did not eat there. It looked fine, we just prefer to explore and find our meals outside the hotel. The neighborhood and surroundings aren't the best or most lively, but even late night it seemed safe. It is a short walk to Olympic metro station, which is a plus. 2 other big plusses are the free shuttle that runs every hour and will take you to a few major stops in the area, which helps get around. And there is a free smart phone in the room that you can use for free WiFi, navigation, hotspot and local calls. The phone works all around Hong Kong. That was a major plus. read more
