Stanford Hillview Hotel Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Advantages: Great transportation links
Disadvantages: none

...When trying to decide on a hotel for our trip to Hong Kong we did a lot of research and opted for the Metro Park Hotel in Causeway bay rather than its sister hotel in Kowloon. This was mainly due to its location in a quieter part of town and its superb transport links. The hotel is roughly three quarters of an hour from the airport and the bus to the airport stops at the door of the hotel, as our transport was included we did not use that option. It is well located too with the MTR station being just along the road, the trams passing the end of the road and the bus to Stanley also just a short walk away. The hotel also runs free transport to Causeway Bay shopping area and also Wan Chai for the conference centre and star ferry. The hotel has car parking on the ground floor and you enter the reception on the first floor by lift... Read review

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

...We stayed at this hotel in September 2009. There was a typhoon signal No. 1 over Hong Kong at that time. Obviously, our choice of travel date was bad. But Royal Pacific proved to be a good choice. Almost everything was within walking distance from this hotel. 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 were a repeat of yesterday's menu.... Read review

...This month I had the pleasure of going to Hong Kong on a research trip with two other recent graduates and a lecturer in sociology. It was an amazing trip and I am sure I will write more about it very soon indeed. But this review is about our base, the Charterhouse Hotel. The hotel is on Wan Chai Road on Hong Kong Island, a very convenient base for sightseeing, shopping, eating and basically everything. Wan Chai Road is between Wan Chai MTR (metro) station and Causeway Bay station, a 5 minute walk between the two. The website is www.charterhouse.com, which may give you more information. As this trip was funded by research committees, we booked standard rooms, which were single rooms with an en suite, at about £50 a night including breakfast. The website illustrates the deluxe rooms and suites, but our budget did not stretch to... Read review
