Great experience to see the 'real' Hong Kong
Review of Metropark Hotel, Mongkok, Hong Kong by
Arboy1971
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 ...

Excellent Hong Kong Hotel
Review of Metropark Hotel, Hong Kong by
elspeth334
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 tr ...

Quick review of Silvermine Beach Hotel, Hong Kong
Review of Silvermine Beach Hotel, Hong Kong by
KEITHRW
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.
