Negative Reviews
negative:
Location is not very convenient
The hotel is not centrally located, leading some guests to say that it was tough to get to the main Hong Kong attractions. While the hotel is located within walking distance to the Nam Cheong MTR station, it required a lot of time in the subway to get to places. Also the neighbourhood has a distinctly local vibe, which some guests enjoyed and some did not.
negative:
Breakfast is Hunger Games
While most guests commented that they enjoyed breakfast, some said it was way too crowded and that the hotel would occasionally run out of food. They said that there was way more demand than space during breakfast hours, so they didn't bother to wait for a table. Some said that breakfast was too simple.
negative:
It might get cold during winters
There is no central heating in the hotel rooms.. Several guests noted that they felt cold in the rooms during the winter months.
