I stayed at the Langham for a long weekend with my husband over Thanksgiving. Our priorities were comfort, location, and ease of access to transportation. We got all three. The Langham is easily accessible from the HK airport via the airport train to Kowloon, and then easily switching to a shuttle bus that will drop you off directly in front of the hotel. Total travel time: 30-35 minutes. Check in was efficient and welcoming, and we were pleased with the size of our room and the amenities in the room.

The Langham is a hotel with a bit of history, so while comfortable, part of the hotel and the room (especially the bathroom) felt dated for my taste. Also, the room we got had no view, just of other high-rises across an alley. We ate in the hotel restaurants a couple times, both the NY Deli, and the Boston restaurant, and were pleased with the food. As a native New Yorker, I must say that the food was not quite authentic, but also not too far off.

The Star Ferry to HK island is a short 10 minute walk away, as is the promenade on the bay, a great vantage place from which to view the skyline of HK island at night. If you are into shopping, this hotel is in the middle of all of the high end boutiques from Tiffany's, Chanel, etc. Also a short walk to the entertaining Nathan Rd. and hawkers around Chungking Mansions. As we spent most of our time on HK island, in the future, I would probably stay at a hotel on the island with a more modern feel than the Langham.

Hotel lobby so romatic. Exceptionl servcie from all staff. Location ...location ... location...near to everywhere. Room size medium. Enough for us ( 2 adult 1 children ). The best thing, my son enjoys free extra bed. Breakfast buffet yummy. Concierge staff really nice.

My husband and I stayed at The Langham for our honeymoon and have absolutely no regrets. The location is great--near the trains and a ton of shopping. Upon check-in, the front desk manager Jonathan escorted us into our room, showed us the amenities The Langham has to offer, and presented us with a bottle of Moet & Chandon rose champagne to congratulate us on our honeymoon. The bed was lush and comfy, and the bathroom was big and grand. I enjoyed sitting in the bath with a glass of bubbly, watching the TV from the window that separates the bathroom from the bedroom. No worries--they have blinds! And the bathroom has speakers for the TV. Really lovely experience.

We booked directly on the Langham website and got the best rate through their Linger for Longer deal, which included Wi-Fi and breakfast. It was probably the best deal for our entire honeymoon, which included stays in Thailand and Japan. The breakfast had many delicious Western and Eastern options, like noodles, congee, cheese, and pastries. They were also very helpful when I had a bout of food poisoning. Because I couldn't go down to breakfast, they sent up a bowl of congee. They also refilled our fruit plate daily. We ate dinner at Tang Court, which is their two-star Michelin restaurant. Very good deal for a two-person prix fixe; best hot and sour soup I've ever had (nothing like Westernized Chinese food!). The tea service at the Palm Court was lovely as well. The bar area is really small though and not quite as comfy and luxurious as typical fancy hotel bars.

As for things I wish I'd known before:
- The Langham offers a shuttle bus, but it's really a bus that a group of Tsin Sha Tsui hotels use, and you have to make stops at each one along the busy one-ways streets; it really adds to the time. Take a cab instead. It's only about $10 USD more for less hassle and a much faster ride.
- There's a mall with a food court next door, if you want a less expensive meal with many options (Taiwanese, Korean, dim sum, roast meats, won ton, teppanyaki, etc.). Tsim Sha Tsui is such a tangle of malls and small side streets that I completely missed this place, even though I was right next door!
- Watch your bags when you walk along Nathan Road. My iPhone disappeared from my bag during my first evening in Hong Kong. It really put a damper on our first night there.
- There are plenty of wine shops just on the other side of Nathan Road, across the street from the 7-11. Wine is pricey in Asia, so it's nice to have the option to purchase your own to drink while relaxing in your room.
- We brought fancy bath products so we could enjoy a nice soak in the tub. Turns out, they already provide bath salts.

I stayed at the Langham Hotel for a couple nights in October, and while everything was alright, nothing was amazing.
The hotel has a pretty good location, right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, and the beds are quite comfortable, but the rooms are pretty small compared to many other Hong Kong hotels.
A couple frustrating points at this hotel are that 1) the swimming pool closes at 7pm, far earlier than most hotels and 2) the internet bandwidth speed is outrageously slow.
The hotel does provide all guests with free internet, but the speed is so slow that you might as well just pay for higher bandwidth.
Also, at checkout the front desk staff was not only really slow, but accidentally charged me twice for my phone bill.
Honestly, I would only recommend staying here if you want to be right in Tsim Sha Tsui. Otherwise, I would recommend staying somewhere on Hong Kong Island for roughly the same price.
