Hotel Review posted by Ahmer, United Kingdom in March 2005

My wife and I visited HK and stayed at the Kowloon Hotel at the end of Feb '05. The standard room we stayed in was small (but we were well prepared for that after reading the reviews here). The room and bathoom was very clean, however our view was looking out straight across Nathan Rd at Chunking Mansions which is an ugly building. The location of this hotel is excellent with an entrance to the Tsim Sha Shui MTR and KCR right outside as well as an HSBC ATM. All the shops in and around Nathan Road are easy to walk to as is the Star Ferry terminal and Harbour Plaza shopping mall. It was handy having internet access in the room but it was slow and not always reliable with an old version of netscape, good enough for me to check my web e mail though. All the staff were impeccably polite and helpful. We did not eat at any of the hotel restaurants as there are so many other places to eat out close-by.
We would definitely recommend this hotel based on location, price, staff and cleanliless. However be warned about the size of the rooms, especially if you're travelling with more than one large case or plan on doing a lot of shopping.
One last word - the service through Asiarooms was excellent and I would not hesitate using this site again.

| "The Kowloon is a good hotel, but sad to say the rooms are too small. The hotel is strategically located in the city so if you're a business type or a budget traveller you better stay in this hotel. The employees are friendly and accommodating. Our stay at the Kowloon Hotel is good. I would recommend that you try the hotels." |

| "The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. It is well situated for walking to the Star ferry, cruise docking, shopping malls, MTR station, tourist attractions, dining and the best shopping street in Kowloon! (Nathan Road) The bar room was a little too small and breakfast was never hot. No need to book for the breakfast as there are plenty of places nearby to eat. The room was clean, cosy and well stocked. Will definately recommend it to anyone." |

| "Room are small and bathrooms are tiny. Typical of hongkong hotels. Slightly pricey but very good location near MTR and star ferry. Amenities were good. Coffee making facilities and room were very clean.
Construction around vincinity is rather chaotic. Makes crossing roads dangerous.
Overall good stay. Will go back again. " |
