Good value, cheap as expected
This hotel was nice, and it was clean. The bed was hard as a rock, but that's the way everything is in China/Hong Kong. A few complaints: 1. no free internet, local calls were HK$ 5, and the maids are not as thorough as they should be.

Value for money!
I stayed in Silka West purely for its location. I went to HK for a birthday shopping trip with the agenda of shopping in Mong Kok. I didn't want to stay in a guest house so I picked the closest and nicest hotel available. The price was good for it being a last minute thing, too. The room itself was small but clean. (Apparently HK rooms are small in general as per other reviews). The mattresses were solid (apparently usual for HK as well) and the toilet/shower area was very compact, but still clean. They also had a cafe/restaurant on level 2, but I didn't go there as there are a few places around the area if you want to venture out and have a try of the local restaurants. What I didn't know was that they have a shuttle bus service from Kowloon airport express station, Silka West, Mong Kok, and Silka Seaview. I must have missed this bit of information when I initially booked the hotel, so it was a good surprise as I didnt have to spend any money getting around on transport apart from the initial bus fee and train fee going back home. I wouldn't mind coming back to this hotel again!

Mongkok's Functional Closet
The room I stayed in was just big enough to walk around in. There was a nice bay window, although the view of Mongkok wasn't exactly the greatest. It was clean, cosy and comfortable however small like the rest of the accomodation in Hong Kong. The air-conditioning in this hotel, as in all of HK, is generally set to refrigerate so that may take some getting used to.
The main plus with this hotel was the price point in comparison to everything else around it. HK is an expensive place for accomodation - a friend of mine spent AUD$1K for five days in a similar establishment in the centre at TST.
They advertised the hotel being only like five minutes away from the MTR whereas in fact it was closer to 12.
The service was acceptable but some of the staff were a bit rude. The breakfast could have been a bit more inviting but it did the job.

Very basic hotel with friendly service and decent sized rooms. The beds were extremely hard (which is pretty normal for Hong Kong). Would stay here again.

Room & toilet was very small, Not really very near to the mrt in Mongkok about 20mins walk. Near to olympic stop 10 mins walk. Nearby industrial. Hotel staff not very customer orientated. We book to have internet access. the use was not a smooth one lot of jam & error. Hotel staff was called up during midnight. Was aware of the case. But guess he did not inform so day shift was not aware. During check out they make us pay the full amt we were furious. All our stuff was packed and we are rushing for somewhere else. The baby was crying none stop. And the front desk fat man with specs. Insist we make payment for the internet which we are unable to use. My husband dared him if we take out our laptop and still cannot use is he going to compensate us. He keep mum. and continue to ask us to pay. VERY BAD SERVICE.. How much can an internet connection cost? when the customer's baby is crying to badly and he still looking for trouble.

The staff were helpful, they allowed us to check in early. The hotel is about 5mins to the Olympic train station, but if you are willing to walk, you could get to Mongkok (Nathan St) in 20mins. The rooms were clean, a little small and didn't have much of a view, but we didn't spend that much in the rooms. Overall it was a good place to stay if you don't want to spend too much.

Take note that this hotel has changed its name to Dorsett Kowloon Hotel instead of Dorsett Olympics Hotel. The hotel is about 10 mins away from Olympics MTR station. You can get lost easily as the way to this hotel is not easy to find if it is your first time to HK. If you are taking the airport express to kowloon airport station,Do wait for the hotel's hourly shuttle bus at the kowloon airport station instead. Remember to ask for the timing and pickup point. It will save you lots of hassle. Stayed here for 4 days. Service is good. Staffs were polite and helpful. Most hotels in HK are small so it is common to see it in this hotel too. Room is small but clean and comfortable. Toilet is even smaller but adequate. It is a little way off from Mongkok and the MTR but the hotel has shuttle bus on hourly basis to bring guests to mongkok station,yau ma tei,kowloon airport station and back to hotel which i find it a great complimentary. Not meant for honeymoon couples or family with kids as there is no room for kids to walk around much. On the whole, I am happy staying here.
