Our stay was a total of 6 nights and I must say I was quite impressed with the hotel.
When we first arrived, armed with a map, the hotel wasn't all that difficult to find though the place is a little off the main road. We took the public bus A21 (HKD$33) from the airport to Nathan Road and only had to walk about 5 minutes. Tell the bus driver you want to get to Jordan MTR, they are generally quite helpful and will inform you where to alight.
The receptionist that check us in wasn't all that friendly, but throughout the stay they proved to be rather helpful when asking for directions around Hongkong.
The rooms were rather small, but it seems all hotels in hongkong are like that. The room seemed new and was clean. The main plus point had to be the hot bathing water on demand, espcially for those travelling to Hongkong in the cold Autumn and Winter periods.
The hotel is very well situated, around 1 minute walk to Jordan MTR and 5 minutes walk to the street markets (Temple street and Bowring street). This meant that travelling was convenient and shopping was available till around midnight in that area.
We took the public bus A22 back to the airport (HKD$39) which stopped right across the street of the hotel in front of the church. It is very convenient. If I'm not wrong, the airport express stops very near the hotel as well.
We had a wonderful experience there, the room served its purpose to us budget traveellers and more.
Shopping Tip:
The street markets have to bargain!! The best tip is not to show interest, ask the price, look at the product then slowly walk away.. The shopkeepers usually start slashing their own prices.. Once you start bargaining, then they will be less willing to cut..

It was an overall pleasant stay at Largos, with a great location that has plenty of shops around and conveniently near Jordan MTR for you to move to other parts of Hong Kong. The price is value for money, although it's a pity that they could not accede to special requests for the room. The staff were overall friendly and helpful, which adds value to the hotel.

Convenience and proximity to MTR

For a budget traveller, the location get top marks as long as you have no need to use their luggage storage facility.
Hotel Feature Tip:
Don't use their luggage stowaway facility. HKD10 apop is daylight robbery.

At Largos hotel. I like it because a lot of reason. This hotel stayed near shopping market. It stays near famous road such as Nathan or Golden Mile. I can walk thru Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, Jordan and it near by MTR station. The view outside of this hotel is very nice. also night and day time. This hotel given you for everything you must be used as your routine in the morning and before you sleeping. Air condition is very cold. If you don't like cold you can adjust it to warm, up to you. It is very easy way from airport. I went this hotel by MTR express from airport and pick up Taxi from Kowloon station to this hotel. The Taxi fee is very cheap. Employees are very friendly and kindhearts too.

EXCELLENT LOCATION
excellent location, close to MTR station
8.7
It is located in the heart of Kowloon, but the hotel is in a quiet street just 2 mins off the major street. Easy access to MTR station and within 15 mins walking distance, you can find yourself in TST or Mongkok or major shopping centre in Kowloon. Friendly receptionlists and cleaning staff. Only minor deficitvis the room is too small.

nice location
walking distance to mtr. near shopping areas of nathan and jordan sts. front desks was very helpful though cant speak english that good.

they don't have airport shuttles but was able to get e-mail from the hotel on how to get to the hotel from the airport. the people from largos gave us many options regarding transportation details. finally arrived at hotel without a hitch. the elevator was nice but small. we were surprised to see the room was small unlike the ones in the pictures, but we were very happy with the service, though you have to have extra patience because some of the hotel staff cannot communicate in english.
the location of the hotel was very ideal. just around the corner is the jordan station of the MTR. a leisurely walk of 30 minutes will bring you to the kowloon public pier and the hongkong museum of art. you'll be walking along nathan road where, if you like shopping, that leisurely walk of 30 minutes might take a little bit longer.
largos hotel is just a stones throw away from temple street night market. really bargain products can be bought from temple st, they also have lots of places where you can eat very cheaply. all of them specializing in seafood, from crabs to prawns and other shellfish.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
walk along nathan road and experience shopping then walk further to experience the light show every night along the kowloon public pier. take time to see hongkong museum of art. try going to macau, you dont have to join a tour, just take the mtr and get lost in macau and hongkong. its a wonderful experience!

Hotel you can consider
Convenient to MTR. Eating and shopping not a problem. Hotel is rather clean and new though the room is a bit small.
6.7
Worth to come back and stay again. May recommend the hotel to other people as one of the hotels they should consider to experience. The location of the hotel is surely meeting most of their needs like food, shopping, local culture and living..easily to get any transport to visit other places...
Shopping Tip:
many places for shopping and convenient.

Well located within a short walk to Jordan MTR station. Friendly housekeeping staff but front desk staff not as friendly and helpful. Very small room even for the size of Asian.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Temple street is right opposite the hotel!
