Ok, maybe I'm a tad generous but considering how expensive HK is, and getting an incredible Expedia package deal a few years back, this hotel packs value and convenience as long as you're into the name brands and high-end decor.
Nor space: tight rooms but totally ergonomic and logic, not surprisingly given how they have to maximize space. Working desk right under the TV, and the stool to sit on tucks right underneath the counter. My room barely had any walking around space, in fact, none of it, as even the luggage takes up the 'hallway space' to the washroom. Of course, only 1 person can be in here at the same time lol.
It's located in Tsuen Wan area, which though it appears to be away from the main action, it's a busy burb area, and at the end (or beginning depending how one looks at it) of the Tsuen wan MTR line. Which btw, isn't a 5-min walk, unless you're sprinting! I say it's a good 10minutes as long as you're not stopping by the street to window shop. From the front lobby, it's a good 100 feet til you get to the stair case that goes up 3 flights of stairs before you get to the walkway going across the main road, through the mini-mall, which is already quite packed and busy, til you get to the station. Which btw is quite handy as usual, with a 7 Eleven and the cream puff, as well as another bakery.
And it's safe: you can return near midnite, no riff raff walking across the street.
It's your typical Kowloon area with working class retail and eating areas, no major designer label shopping.
Free wifi.
and loved how often they have the shuttle bus to/back fr airport, with well-placed signs inside lobby. Again, it's simple but friendly, professional staff. Just one side of seating on the left when you walk in.
Overall, worth coming back again if I could get this for $100/night again lol. read more
