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  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.

For the same price you can find better rooms and the wifi it is almost usless. It is so slow that it makes impossible to work using it.

7.6 Stayed for 4 nights and was an overall good stay. Check-in was a breeze and staff are friendly. Room wise, pillow covers were not fresh as there was a bad scent. Temperature of the bath shower was inconsistent; changing from cold to hot, which was very irritating. One of the face towels has a big patch of blue stain. As no bottled water was provided, guests are encouraged to refill their own drinking bottles from the water dispenser at the main lobby. Maybe the management should consider providing a water dispenser on every floor for better convenience. Like that both sides of the bed have USB n power socket. Read less

I was told by the front desk during check-in that someone had changed my name on my booking. He insisted that I changed it myself and was quite accusatory.

I was told by the front desk during check-in that someone had changed my name on my booking. He insisted that I changed it myself and was quite accusatory. Even after I showed him my exact booking page, he was adamant that I have made the change. I'd think that someone from the hotel may have accidentally keyed in another guest's name under my reservation as I was unable to amend booking names on my end. Nonetheless, I managed to get my room after an exhausting back and forth talk. Check-in hiccup aside, most of the staff are helpful and friendly. Aside for an extremely rude male housekeeper, and the front desk staff that tended to me. Location is wonderful; close enough to great food choices and the MTR, yet on a quiet street where you can get a good night's rest. Read less

My week stay in Hong Kong was great staying at Cityview. The lobby is beautiful with all the plants, the staffs are friendly, and the room is comfortable. Highly recommended when coming to Hong Kong.
