The hotel

The Cityview knows its audience. In one of the world’s most dynamic metropolises, this urban outpost delivers the slick city styling, high-tech touches, handy hotel features, and ‘centre-of-everything’ location every discerning international traveller’s after. Bang-on-trend, you’re greeted by a living plant wall that sets the tone of this modern downtown Kowloon hotel. While the styling, fitness zone, and international buffet may feel reassuringly familiar, the Cantonese cuisine of The Balcony and Thai tastes of Amazing (served under a plant-draped pergola for that ‘al fresco dining’ feel), give an exciting flavour of the East – one backed up by its location in the entertainment and shopping district, just steps from Yau Ma Tei subway station and near Hong Kong’s famous markets.

Value for money hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Could have more meal options in their room service menu. Lovely channels on television, but would have been nicer if there was tv programs for children as the WIFI for the tv did not work.

I have stayed in this hotel a few times in the past so I knew that some room sizes are really small.

I have stayed in this hotel a few times in the past so I knew that some room sizes are really small. Therefore I decided to upgrade my room to executive floor with greater room size by paying a little bit extra. The executive room size is acceptable though not spacious. However this is normal by Hong Kong standard. Good points: convenient location as it is within walking distance to Yaumati MTR station, most facilities are included including safety box, small fridge, small sitting area, both restaurants are serving good food. Minus points: close to a fire station so it can be noisy at night. Read less

3 night stay arranged by a tour organization. Staff very helpful. Very clean. Our room was economy with a queen size bed. Room size adequate. Good location to many “touristy markets” Subway station across street. Laundry services, but no laundry facilities for guests to do their own laundry.

Just welcomed by a very unfriendly staff member who was not able to use the Credit-Card Terminal. A friendly requested 'early check in' was used for a more expensive room instead of letting me three hours earlier in. Noone knows where the swimmingpool and gym is. Internet was not set with no privacy standard (room number and name). So they know… Read more
Just welcomed by a very unfriendly staff member who was not able to use the Credit-Card Terminal. A friendly requested 'early check in' was used for a more expensive room instead of letting me three hours earlier in. Noone knows where the swimmingpool and gym is. Internet was not set with no privacy standard (room number and name). So they know what you do in the Internet. Old furniture, the TV has no HDMI. The room for this price was build for children, not for two adults. Cleaning stuff and door opening guys were all time very friendly. Nice welcome hall. But anyway.... not recommended at all.

To date, my stay at The Cityview hotel is the worst! Very rude reservations staff. Andrew if I am not mistaken and the manager at that time (Jan 16 at 4pm) were so rude and very unaccommodating!

To date, my stay at The Cityview hotel is the worst! Very rude reservations staff. Andrew if I am not mistaken and the manager at that time (Jan 16 at 4pm) were so rude and very unaccommodating! I paid for 2 rooms but initially, they only gave me 1. I checked with my travel agent and she confirmed that I paid for 2 rooms. When I went down to check and clarify things, Andrew mentioned that it was all my fault as I only gave him my own passport. In the first place, cant they even check the reservations made under my name that was paid way ahead of my trip? They didn't even apologize! Hello, Customer Service? Missing this BIG TIME! The shower area of my room was clogged! I can't even take a decent shower! Is this really a hotel with a 4.0 rating? Yes, the hotel is old and needs to be updated. Very few channels to choose from. The mini fridge needs to be replaced and the electrical sockets, I think, there's only 3 and all can be found at the side table. Very sad for this kind of hotel. The only good about this is the location. They also gave a free cake as a family member celebrated his birthday in HK. Read less
