This hotel represents one of the best values in TST. The hotel is relatively new and the modern amenities in the design are truly wonderful. Rooms are adequate in size and very comfortable. All of the features mentioned in the description are true. The bathrooms are a modern showcase, with soft beige marble and glass. Everything fits, although I found that the toilet was wedged in an angle with the shower stall making you sit on an angle. I\'ve experienced that at a number of HK hotels but the clean, design makes up for it. The four feather pillows and down duvet made for a very comfortable rest. Room was one of their executive+plus type, but I believe that all rooms are outfitted with all of the modern extras. Swimming pool is nice but be warned that it isn\'t heated. Exercise room was also excellent. Near the TST mtr station, however give yourself 10 minutes as the streets are always crowded, making swift walking impossible.
Hotel takes great care of its guests. During the 4th night of my 5 night stay, the toilet water system in the building broke leaving all guests unable to flush their toilets. Given my disappointment, they arranged a BMW limousine to whisk me across to their sister property on the Hong Kong side and they put me up in one of their deluxe suites until the problem was resolved. Now that is exceptional service. I\'d stay again, anyday!

| "The room is small, bathroom is small. Not exactly very clean as the building itself isn't too new. Location is alright. About 8-10 min walk to the nearest." |

| "Checked in on the 13th of march, service was pretty fast with confirmation given in about 5 minutes. room given however was not the same as was required- douoble twin. was given one wueen bed instead. went down to the reception and was immediately given the room we wanted on the same floor as the wrong room which made moving from one room to the other very fast and easy. Room however was very small, no way you can walk around with ease but it fitted 4 people well enough. called reception for extra towels and service was very very fast. However, communication proved to be a slight problem when i called for an extra mattress, they came up with a box of matches. Overall, service was very fast and efficient and will definitely recommend it to budget travellers. " |

| "Room as a suite, and plenty big enough. Well appointed - TV in lounge and bedroom, bar fridge, internet connection, etc. Had issues with the light switches in bed room and bathroom, took a while to get the right lights on! Wardrobe was tiny and inadequate. Location is 10-15 minutes walk from the ferry wharves. Lots of shopping near by. Reception Staff spoke reasonably good English, had problems at the bar in getting understood and actually getting the bar snacks we ordered - gave up one night and followed up on another.
