I had stayed in this hotel on my first trip to Hong Kong. The location of this hotel is ideal for any traveller as it is very close to the prime shopping areas and one can do a lot of things after stepping out of thehotel.

The hotel lobby looks a bit cramped due to shortage of space, but the feeling goes away when one enters the rooms. The rooms are spacious and the accessories kept there are very well thought of from a travellers view point.

Shopping attractions like Times Square and SoGo are few minutes walk from the hotel and there is a lot of street shopping also possible in the vicinity.

The room rates seemed a bit high (especially since it did not include breakfast), but then Hong Kong is an expensive city! I had a good view from my room of the neighbouring CCC club which has a race course and multiple sports facilities.

There are lot of eating options nearby. There is a metro station at Times Square which makes commuting easy.

Stayed from Jan 14 - Jan 16 of 2012. This hotel is conveniently located, it is literally 100 yards away from Time Square and MRT. Hotel has exercise facility, pool and restaurant. All reasonably pricing. If return to Hong Kong, will not hesitate to stay at this hotel again.

Having stayed at a number of hotels in Hong Kong it can be hard to find something that strikes a good balance between value for money, service and facilities - for me this hotel gets that balance just right

The rooms are of a good size with great attention to detail such as the surround system and iPod dock

The rooftop swimming pool and bar are a great place to relax after a hectic day around the city

I have to confess that I tried my hardest to be very critical of this hotel because I used to be a platinum card member but for various reasons (including the poor service of their customer relationship management team in corporate, not at this hotel) I am no longer a platinum member so I used my points to stay here for free.

I took the train in from the airport and decided to take the subway to the hotel. The walk from the Causeway Bay subway station was not easy - it was confusing even with GPS from my iphone and I thought, in my own evil way, "Great - I can say the location is no good". But in reality, the location is very reachable by taxi, which are plentiful and super convenient by bus (I didn't know until I got there). The hotel is located next to the Happy Valley race track and the Causeway Bay area itself is quite a lively and happening shopping and entertainment district. It is a short taxi ride to Wanchai and a slightly longer ride to Central but, as I found out, you can take the bus from right outside the hotel (#690) and this will take you through Wanchai into the heart of Central.

The reception area was tidy and efficient, not grandiose like many hotels. The hallways were a little narrow and dark but once you enter the room, it is beautiful. The room was one of the nicest rooms I've stayed in whilst in Hong Kong. It was a good comfortable size (unlike the Sheraton - where I am a platinum member) or even the Intercontinental (both Grand Standford and the main Intercontinental do not have rooms as nice as teh one I stayed in - forget about the holiday inns). The room reminded me a little of the rooms at Le Meridien Cyberport, including the little seating ledge in the shower.

Didn't try any of the restaurants due to time restrictions. Don't know about value as I stayed using points.
