Dorsett Kowloon Hotel Hong Kong Reviews

Dorsett Kowloon Hotel Hong Kong, October 2008 Guest Rating: 3.8

Ask for information, advises, maps etc. at the front desk. Staff is friendly. You can safely leave you luggage before and after check in and check out at the front desk. Eat is cheaper out of hotel and have more choices in HK. In room there is a small refrigerator and tea pot. Clean. It is better to take room on higher floor.

Hotel location is relatively good, but can be better. Good transportation to/from Airport.

Rooms very small. Good for one person.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : It is easy to arrive from airport by bus E21 (<1.5 h). Since drivers do not speak English the name of bus stop should be written in Chinese. Important: u should have a small change for all buses and MTR. Drivers in buses have no change at all. Trips: 1. Take a train to the Peak one-way and go back yourself. Important! take instructions from tourist information (in old tarin) at the Peak. 2. Great day trip (beautiful views): From MTR station Tung Chung take a bus to fishing village (in Tai O); from the village take a bus no. 1 to ferry terminal; then take a ferry to Central. 3. When go to Stanlay it is batter to have HK$ (exchange rate is not good there).

Good Hotel Guest Rating: 3.5

I will not hesitate to recommend my friends to saty is this hotel. the pros and cons is as above. It is very convenience as the hotel is within walking distant of two (2) LRT station and is right at the town centre.

Clean, good location and friendly staff

Toilet is a bit small. Romm is ok for asian size. The only set back is NO hotel "in-house" bus direct to Airport but there can arrange outside charted bus for you. Had to pay lah!

• Travel tip : There is no difference between Standard and Superior in terms of room size and facilities except the window view and the room is at a higher floor.

The first thing you notice upon check-in is the lack on enthusiasm of the front desk staff. Maybe it was the fact the we checked in close to midnight, but when we checked out in the morning, we found that their demeanor did not change. So don't expect any greeting or parting comments from them. The housekeeping guy was nice though. The room itself was pretty nice. It was clean, cool, had decent decor and high ceilings. It was not very spacious but it worked for 2 people with 1 suitcase. There's probably not enough floor area to have 2 suitcases opened up at same time. There was a little cooler and a TV in the room. They also had the North American style power adapter plugged in, which is a time saver so you don't have to go shopping for one. The TV had about 20 channels. The only annoyance was in the bathroom where the shower curtain didn't keep the water in the shower stall. This resulted in wet floors after every shower. The location was good. It was about 5minutes from the Olympic Station and 5 minutes from Nathan Road. Just far enough from the crowds without being too far away from the shopping and food.

-relatively modern. -clean. -good location, walking distance to MTR and shopping.

-location is not ideal but still good, 5-10 minute walk to MTR and shopping.

overall of the hotel are ok for both of us Guest Rating: 2.8

a bit to small of the room

that to far away from MRT station

• Shopping Tip : that a lot of renovation or selling all kind of materials for the house or shop renovation, interesting

I would defenitely recommend this hotel where I stayed on two occasions, at the beginning and end of my journey. I was particularly impressed with one person who worked on the front desk who was really helpful with supplying a good map and information about the local area and finding my way around. He went out of his way to provide the information that I needed to negotiate my way around the city and getting to the airport. The room was adequate and comfortable. It was really close to the subway which is the best way of getting around Hong Kong. The hotel is also with walking distance of outdoor markets and other area of interest for the tourist. I dont recommend using the shuttle bus as the subway stops adequately close. Read the information on the exit signs of the subway (Olympic). The hotel is listed on the exit you should take to get to the hotel. There is a 7-11 not far from the hotel where you can buy drinking water.

really easy to find. staff provided me with a map which helped me to get there easily on my second stay. the person at reception both times I stayed there was really helpful and made my stay a pleasant one. Really close to the subway.

the site said there was a shuttle bus to the hotel. It didn't say that I would have to pay a large sum of money to catch it.

Poor Guest Rating: 1.3

We did not find anything good about this hotel except that we could walk from the hotel to the Ladies Market. The room was less than small. If we had not paid in advance we would not have stayed more than one night. So small that it was hard to turn around. Room amenities limited- not even a tissue box, and it was hard to find a electrical outlet. DON'T eat at the Breakfast Buffet! Staff were not very friendly. Staff were not very helpful when we called from the airport for directions and transportation assistance. At best, the room is for one person, only. For a new hotel- conditions could have been much better. We would never stay at this hotel again.

Was able to walk to Ladies Market

Size of room, lack of adequate room amenities, value for money, unfriendly staff

Free shuttle bus available.

Comfortable and friendly Guest Rating: 4.3

Since we are in Mongkok, very central, food is cheap and delicious and shopping is aplenty. We feel very safe there, walking on the streets.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Arena of Stars is a must stop-over to see. From Nathan road, many buses stop over at Star Ferry - the place to view the Hong Kong view with the laser show at 8pm. Plus, 2 MTR lines are near the hotel - we are spoiled for choice!

Quite a nice place to stay. Guest Rating: 3.7

The map which hotel made and can get to the room is quite good.

Moderate Guest Rating: 3.3

The hotel provides a shuttle bus to the airport, so there is no need to rush.

• Restaurant Tip : Try the dim sum.
