Budget Hotel, Good Location. Must upgrade Lobby Standard. A budget hotel that i would recommend to all of my friend when they are travelling to Hong Kong. It have a great location in Hong Kong and the transport around the hotel are very convenient. The services there are recommended, included of Front Office, Housekeeping and Bell-service. The food of the Hotel also delicious and are recommended to all of the tourists.

TOO FAR FROM CITY, ROOM VERY SMALL, BATHROOM DRAIN ALWAYS CLOGGED THIS IS PROBABLY MY LAST STAY IN THIS HOTEL. I GOT LUCKY THE FIRST TIME TO HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO A DELUXE ROOM. THIS TIME I GOT TO STAY IN A STANDARD WHICH WAS THE ROOM TYPE I BOOKED. UNLIKE THE DELUXE IT WAS TINY, NOT COZY AT ALL, NOT TO MENTION IT HAD NO REAL WINDOWS. BATHROOM DRAIN MUST HAVE HAD DRINKING STRAWS FOR PIPES AS IT CLOGGED UP TEN SECONDS AFTER I TURNED THE SHOWER ON - I HAD TO STAND IN 5-INCH DEEP WATER EVERYTIME I SHOWERED.
Hotel Feature Tip : DO NOT GET A STANDARD ROOM AT THIS HOTEL.

The room is clean and well-lighted as well as the toilet. Small but very comfortable. The service is fast and prompt. Only one pillow for each bed (for twin beds). Dorsett Far East Hotel is perfect for tourists! Reasonable and VERY accessible! It's nearby Tsuen Wan MTR, just a few minutes to walk...So it's very near if you want to go to Disneyland and Hong Kong International Airport. Beside the hotel is 7/11 convenience store and a big department store where you can shop almost everything (like TANGS in Singapore). Shopping malls are just around the area where you can buy reasonable stuffs (no need to go to crowded places like Mongkok and TST). There's also McDonalds, KFC and Yoshinoya few walks ahead! I love this hotel and I would definitely come back and stay here!
Hotel Feature Tip : If your flight is early, you can take a taxi going to Tsing Yi airport express station (about 10 minutes), you only pay HK$44. Then you can take the airport express train (20 mins. to reach airport) about HK$60 (or better use Octopus Card if you have enough balance).

Free shuttle service to airport & Mongkok but only for certain timing b4 13:00. Hotel should consider in extending the shuttle services till late night during weekends if any budget constriant involves. Nearby food stalls & shopping centres can be found. Staffs' communication more in Cantonese. Attitude is moderate during check in but worst during check out. They worked according to their daily mood & slow in their pace. Worst experience from reception - during check out, the lady insisted on the deposit slip to be given. When I told her that I had misplaced the slip, she just left my 500HKG deposit on the table. They have to really brush up their service! Smile does not cost any cents! Overall, what u had paid is what u will get. Including the service & the accommodation! Not very accessible to the MTR, walking distance is around 15-20mins.

I was impressed with the close proximity to the local Tsuen Wan MTR Station, which made it easy with a convenient direct line to Central Station.
The room was clean and modern, and the international breakfast buffet had good choice and was very good value for money. Triple Room very compact, internal room with no window. I found this to be a convenient stay overall, with the positive aspects far outweighing the negative.
Check in was quick and easy and we found the reception staff to be friendly, helpful and spoke good, clear english. The triple room we booked was a little compact for our liking but modern, clean and comfortable. The beds are very firm but we have found that a common thing in Hong Kong. The only negative in our opinion, is that our room did not have an external window, which made the room feel smaller, although most people do not spend all day in their hotel rooms!
The room was serviced daily including having the beds made, toilet rolls and clean towels supplied.
The Breakfast room was clean and spacious with very polite and efficient staff. The Breakfast Buffet was excellent value for money with chinese and international hot and cold dishes. Whilst the hotel is further out of Kowloon into the New Territories, the local atmosphere feels more traditionally chinese than in Kowloon/Hong Kong Island, and we felt that was a definate plus.
Tsuen Wan MTR station was convienient 5 minutes walk away on a direct line to Central Station. It was also possible to change lines on the journey to shorten the journey with less stops.
All in all, a pleasant stay, good value for money and I would recommend to others.
Shopping Tip : Endless shops and shopping centres literally on your doorstep.

the hotel is very clean and hotel staff are very helpful. since i'm quite a tall person i find the hotel rooms smaller than the regular ones. the hotel is located in the heart of Tsuen Wan in Castle Peak road. i found it to be very accessible to the MTR station and to the Discovery Park Mall. there is a park behind the hotel where dozens of buses stop over. the rooms and the toilet are designed for small sized people however are very clean and well maintained. the hotel staff are very helpful when we asked for directions since we didnt have a tour guide in hongkong and just explored the bus and MTR. money exchange is not a problem and a 7/11 is nearby for basic necessities. and lastly the hotel rates, if booked early, are very cheap. thanks dorsett far east hotel!

The location is convenient. The room is very small but clean and tidy. There is no closet in the room.the sound insulation is very poor. You can hear clearly when people walk and talk in the corridor. the location is convenient.

Price, room comfort, hotel vicinity My first time in this hotel and in the tsuen wan area. What a pleasant surprise!!!! Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Room rate was the best deal. A short walk from the hotel is a busy restaurant area - look out for a tiny place that serves great thai food. You wont miss it as there is always a long line of people waiting for a table.

Room is clean, but small. Hotel locate near by MTR, but far from the HK Shopping area or any hot spot. From hotel to Mangkok by MTR take around 25 min.
Not suitable for those shopper, but consider O.K for those budget traveler.

the staff was nice and friendly. the beds too small. Rooms to small. the breakfast not good. This hotel is not one I would say to stay at. The rooms too small. The beds very short for an average guy. You need to be a small person. The rooms are all the same size. The only difference is the floor level you stay at. The breakfast buffet is not worth it. very little to eat. I was very disappointed and would never stay there again.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : there are a few nice parks to walk and see the city. Not far from shopping mall and the train.

comfortable, nice service and cheap in not heavy season. one bed room is too small. this hotel is comfortable, clean, has nice service and cheap in not heavy season. but one bed room is too small, if only one person is OK.they have all stuff in the room, and service is a real hotel, not some worse hostel or roadhouse.
Hotel Feature Tip : it's close to MRT, and if u want go to china it's near the china area than other areas.

房间干净舒适，有冰箱和保险箱，交通方便，对客人很体贴，赠送水果和水 Generally speaking, it's very comfortable to live here although the room is not big. It's clean and good function such as fridge, drier, and insurance box. It only take 5 mins walk to the subway station. Especially it's convenient to go to Disney land and Hong Kong airport. The shops near the hotel are also good to see.
