I'm a huge fan of the Residence G in Hong Kong! The "G" girls provide consistent outstanding service from the time you enter the 2nd(?) floor front desk, to anytime you enter the lobby. There are fresh croissants, coffee, and juice waiting for you in the morning all complementary!
The hotel is squeaky clean, beds are extremely comfortable by American standards. Starbucks and other "American" fast food is just around the corner. Kowloon is not a typical tourist area of Hong Kong which actually makes it nice. Its a short taxi ride from the Airport Express stop and very convenient to the Jordan subway station and Tsim Sha Tsui Station. Hong Kong Island and all the touristy destinations are just a short Water taxi or Subway ride away!
I also really cant speak highly enough of the "handy" cell phone/internet device which is yours complimentary during your stay! How comforting to have a local device without worry of data roaming or having to find a wifi hotspot on your own cell phone. The "Handy" is just that Handy! We took it everywhere to find restaurants, subway information, even to take pictures after our own cell phones died! We simply connected it to the cloud and was able to transfer the pictures to my DropBox! I haven't tried their new downstairs restaurant but hear good things! The rooms are quiet spacious and the rates are extremely competitive. Bottom line is if you are an American venturing to Hong Kong for the first time (or the 10th) give the "G" a chance! You will be pleasantly surprised! read more
