Worst Hostel in the world?

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Everything

The detailed line of this product is "This is a renowned hostel in the heart of the city, with newly renovated rooms and in-room facilities bringing you to a cosy home away from home" Ok that souds great and it also scores highly for ratings on the hostel world website (ratings given for cleanliness, Character, security, location, staff and fun). The hostel was also recommended by an AA travel guide book that we had been given as a present. So everything ...
...was the cheapest or one of them anyway. So we booked this hostel thinking we were getting a great deal. So we booked a 12 bed room to hopefully met loads of other travellers who would be doing a similar route to us. This however is where the fun starts. Upon arrival we got the tight lift upto the 13th floor to met the reception desk in the middle of nowhere. Upon arrival we were shown to the room. I'm going to break the my review down into the ...

Review of Traveller Friendship Hostel, Hong Kong

The perfect end to my holiday

Advantages: Big rooms, Great location, Cheap
Disadvantages: None

...to save money by going the cheapest hostels we could. This was fine for the most part of the holiday, but for the last couple of days we decided to treat ourselves and pay a little extra (not that much more though) and stay at The Salisbury YMCA in Hong Kong. We stayed there for 2 nights and can say that we were both really impressed. Rooms The rooms were immaculate and huge compared to other places I've stayed at in Hong Kong. We had a twin room ...
...faculties, mini bar. The beds were your standard single size and very comfortable, there was also a desk and chairs in the room if you wanted to sit and do work or simply admire the view. The room was ensuite and was again of a very good size, fitted with both bath and shower. Towels and all of you toiletries (shower gel, shampoo, etc) were also provided. The nicest thing out our room however was the view....we opted for a partial harbour view (750HK$) ...

Review of The Salisbury - YMCA, Hong Kong

Eaton Hotel HK - Great location

Advantages: Great location
Disadvantages: None

...a few minutes walk from Eaton Hotel. Once you come out from the hotel, you'd see 7-Eleven opposite the road. Turn right and you would come to the main road Nathan Road. Turn left and you would walk pass Starbucks. Keep walking straight and you will see the MTR sign after about 3 minutes. This is Exit B1 of the MTR station. You can also take the Exit B2 from the MTR station. It would lead you to the back of the hotel and the distance is shorter but ...
...into Pak Hoi Street). There are also many taxis waiting right in front of the hotel so if you don't want to take the MTR, taxi is the next best alternative. You should seek assistance from the concierge (located on the ground floor next to the taxi stand) in telling the taxi driver your destination as taxi drivers might not be able to understand where you want to go. Pls also get a card from the hotel which has a map printed on it in case you need ...

Review of Eaton Hotel, Hong Kong

The Royal Pacific Hotel has the best location in Hong Kong

Advantages: Very good location, view of Victoria Harbour
Disadvantages: Front desk was slow. The buffet restaurant serves almost the same menu everyday.

...And just below it is the Hong Kong-Macao ferry wharf. But i think the front desk people were rather slow. When we checked in, it took us about 30 min to get through. It was a bit crowded. The rooms were rather small, but were well-appointed and clean. They have a great buffet but I would not recommend the guest to rely on it for all their meals during their stay. They just kind of repeat the menu everyday. Except for about 5 new recipes, everything ...

Review of The Royal Pacific Hotel & Towers, Hong Kong

Have stayed there twice and it is fantastic.

Advantages: Attached to the Airport and a high quality hotel.
Disadvantages: A few miles from the tourist areas.

...was great is that the Regal Airport Hotel as the name suggests is actually built on to the Airport building. Having collected my baggage and cleared customs I simply wheeled my baggage trolley to the front left corner of the airport lounge, swung left and on to an enclosed raised walk way which led right up to the hotel entrance. It was about 6 minutes of leisurely walking with my trolley and I arrived at the check in desk of the hotel. The staff ...
...and for weddings. The Regal brand is excellent and operates 8 hotels in the Hong Kong and Shanghai region. There is an Underground railway station inside the airport which takes just 5 minutes to walk to from the hotel and will get you easily anywhere on the underground network including into the business district or any of the other islands or regions of Hong Kong. I found travelling on the undergound very stress free, comfortable and felt very ...
