My 3 day stay at Cityview Hotel
I've stayed at Cityview twice before. This was my 3rd time. I was there from November 3 to 5 of 2011 to attend a convention.
Needless to say, the overall value for money in staying at the hotel is declining.
Each night cost me about U$ 170.
This time, I was shocked. My room was at the 13 th floor and its floor area was so small. It was about less than 20 square meters - inclusive of toilet and bath - which had barely enough room for me to change my own mind!
Walls were getting old and shabby. The toilet needs refurbishing.
The television was an old big boxy thing with very poor signal quality from its cable network. The images were all fuzzy.
When I first entered my room - it had NO complimentary drinking water - nor the basic toiletries found in the bathroom. I had to call housekeeping in order to remind them that my paying U$170 called for at least some complimentary items in the room. They shortly brought up the stuff.
One thing I am impressed with is the Concierge service. They were excellent in helping me find my way around the immediate area surrounding the hotel.
I booked the hotel at least 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Plenty of time to prep a room. Don't you think?
So far, I'm sincerely concerned about the decline in the value of staying at this hotel.
They have a great location in Lau Ma Tei. It's a stones throw from Nathan road and the night market and just around the corner is the subway.
Hope they improve on their facilities - or if not - at least lower their price to coincide with their room quality.
Just my sincere thoughts.
