This is a very nice clean hotel with excellent staff (reception, concierge, doormen, housekeeping) but not the 5* experience we were looking forward to. Pro's * The staff are fantastic * There is a constant stream of taxis to the hotel so you are never waiting long for one * While the location is not in the hustle and bustle of things there are restaurants and shops nearby and there is public transport via MTR, Ferry and bus. We chose the hotel knowing the location was not central as we were cruising out of Kai Tak, if we had not been we would have chosen a different location. * The room (we were on 25th floor in the tower with a harbour view) was a good size and clean and there was a bath in the bathroom (plus a shower within the bath) Con's * The main lobby area looks very impressive in photos but doesn't really have anywhere comfortable to sit or to meet up. * Our major disappointment was breakfast. The venue was not that comfortable and the food was rarely hot (usually luke warm). Due to the location of the dining room (semi open to lobby) it was very loud and in no way relaxing and it was open seating with no wait staff. The breakfast selection was not great and items were mislabeled quite a bit (sausages in the container saying bacon etc). Juices like the Orange juice were not freshly squeezed and the hot drink selection was very poor. Compared to everywhere else we stayed on our trip the breakfast fell very short and as a result we did not eat any other meals in the restaurant * Another reason for choosing the hotel was the swimming pool (we booked in July) but received notification in January that the pool would not be available. The notification said the reason was for maintenance but there was no maintenance in place while we were there. If it was just a seasonal closure this should be notified to anyone booking during the closure season (if we had known last July when booking we would have looked for a different hotel) Read less

Pool closed 4 mth of the year from 1st of dec to April called it maintenance. Complained and was told to go to a public pool nearby. It should say on the website that the pool is closed 1st of December to 1st of april. Not just that it is closed for maintenance as you would not expect it to take 4 mth to clean a pool.

Just leaving here after a 1 night pre cruise stay. Lovely big room and nice shower. We were on the 7th floor with great views. Breakfast was a bit chaotic and not much for western visitors but enough to get by. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Arrived and had to wait 40 mins to check in. No apology and no friendliness from the staff. A hi welcome to hong kong would of been nice . Previous to arriving I'd emailed the hotel 3 times and didn't get a reply. At the 4th attempt they did reply. We were staying at the hotel as part of a trip fotlr our 30th wedding anniversary. They did offer us a bottle of wine when they replied which I turned down as we don't drink wine. They never replied to that email either !!!! Onto the good stuff The room was a great size really well decorated and plenty of plug points. Hotel is in a great location . 10 mins walk to star ferry. Would probably not use again the next time we visit Hong Kong. Read less
