Advantages: Local culture
Disadvantages: Beds are 'hard' to get used to

Stayed here in February 2008 before embarking on a cruise to Vietnam and China. If you want to experience a more authentic Hong Kong I would highly recommend it although it does come as a bit of a shock at first. I wouldn't say that this hotel is really i ... Read review

Advantages: Great Wall, history, unique experience

Back in 2004, I decided to take a six month career break and further decided that I would occupy most of this time by taking a four month trip around Asia. I also toyed with the idea of South America, as just like Asia, there are several countries there I ... Read review

Extremely thorogh and detailed review by supercityfan

Fascinating stuff. I'd heard from friends and colleagues that have been there that the food is really not up to much. It's somewhere I've always had a yen to visit but not yet made it. I'm so sure I'd appreciate all the starring and photos though, it would make me feel incredibly self-conscious. Lexy by Bollinger28

What a lovely anniversary holiday you've had. My SIL was working in Hong Kong recently and said his apartment was really small, and a work colleague laughred and said he was lucky her home was even smaller! So no surprise that the hotel rooms were small. Jo x by jo145

All you ever wanted to know about hong kong

My wife (Filipina) and I (British) stayed there June 2007. It takes some time to get there from the airport (approx 50 minutes - make sure you get a blue taxi) and immediate access is difficult, especially with suitcases and children. The location is lovely - quite quiet and with good views of the bay. You can get a ferry across to the business district (where it seemed difficult to find anywhere selling even a coffee) which is a pleasant ride. Buffet meals OK but nothing to advise Jamie Oliver about. The hotel itself, at that time, was very scruffy indeed but, of course, it is cheap. Adequate as an overnight/ short stop, but don't make it your holiday destination.

Advantages: Good location, view from some rooms
Disadvantages: Back-facing rooms don't have a good view

From the outside, the hotel doesn't look impressive, especially when compared to other hotels in Hangzhou such as the Radisson, in the city centre, or the Grand Hyatt, which is right by the lake. One thing that does beat the hotels based in the city ce ... Read review
