Hong Kong has a lot of hotel options and we picked this based on the excellent tripadvisor reviews, which up till this establishment hasn't failed me. There was horrendous drilling and construction noise starting from 9 am. Even when you're already awake and just getting ready, it's still incredibly annoying, it's so near that you can practically feel it. And... More

I booked at this hotel due to the good reviews on tripadvisor, so I feel obliged to warn other potential guests. Firstly, the place is hard to find, and there are no instructions on the website. I arrived to find a locked door and a button to push for the office, The office was unattended so I could not even... More

My room shook from the drilling and construction going on next door on the 5th floor. Was so loud, easily hearable on 4th and 6th and probably 3rd floor as well. Best not to stay here until this is sorted out. Other than that, its a nice apartment. Its not a hotel. No lobby. No restaurant. No swimming pool. No... More

I chose CHI Residences 279 because it was in a good location for the money. It's close to shopping, small local restaurants and near the subway. I also found it to be clean and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. It's not a large establishment so there was more personal interaction than at the big hotels but it made... More

Spent a night here on April 8th 2013. From Ya Ma Tei MTR it took less than 5 mins to get there which was great! From the outside it looks a little run down, but security at the front door was a nice touch. Once you get past the lobby door its like a brand new hotel. Very modern and... More

We spent 8 days 7 nights in Hong Kong last year to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Needed an accommodation where it will be convenient, comfortable and yet not too expensive as hotel rates in HK is not cheap.

A very clean and comfortable serviced apartment, strategic location (close to downtown Kowloon), friendly staff (ask for "Uncle Johnny"!), outstanding WiFi in room. The only pet peeve is the interiors (both room and building) are a bit "cramped" (but I guess it's how all the buildings in the area are structured, so it is what it is). All in all,... More

We stayed over 2 nights prior to a cruise and found Chi 279 to be exactly what other reviewers have claimed. It's an equipped small apartment with a comfortable bed and small refrigerator. It's in an area where you can easily walk to Nathan Road and the Temple Street Market in the evening. The neighborhood is full of eateries and... More

Same as what others have reviewed, clean and spacious. Location is ideal and only minutes from the MTR station. Great service from the counter and the staff could speak English. Lots of food stalls around and I love the dim sum shop a street away from the apartment, went to eat there for 2 mornings.
