This is an older, reputable four-star hotel chain in Hong Kong, and this Tsuen Wan location is the most affordable. I chose it for my island-hopping trip to Hong Kong, finally fulfilling my wish to swim and hike at Half Moon Bay in Sai Kung. I booked a room with either a king or twin beds. On the first night, being a Saturday, there were more tourists, so the hotel didn't have any king rooms left and just pushed two twin beds together, which was a bit tight. On Sunday, I asked to switch rooms, and they accommodated me immediately, but there was no complimentary upgrade; upgrades cost extra. The room was quite small, barely enough space to open two carry-on suitcases. Some of the garden view rooms faced an old, dilapidated gray factory building, which wasn't very appealing. The rooms have been newly renovated, and each comes with an air purifier. If you don't have a converter, there are USB ports by the bed for charging. There's a TV with movie channels, which was a nice bonus. Unfortunately, the bathroom in the king room had a minor leak, but it dried up after the room was cleaned. The cleaning was thorough, and they replenished tissues and toilet paper. They'll change the sheets upon request. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste, but you can buy them at Mannings, about a 10-minute walk away. They also don't provide bottled water, but there's a water dispenser in the hallway. Theoretically, tap water in Hong Kong is drinkable, but some buildings have old pipes, so filtering is a good idea. From 11 AM to 5 PM daily, the hotel offers self-serve complimentary drinks at the entrance; the Roselle tea and longan ginger tea were both delicious. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Tai Wo Hau MTR station and about a 20-minute walk from Kwai Hing MTR station, but there are plenty of buses nearby, and the double-decker bus offers great views. In April, the hotel's swimming pool wasn't open yet. The gym is open 24 hours and has some cardio equipment, 1-10kg dumbbells, a weight bench, and yoga mats, along with sweat towels. The hotel has a restaurant and a cafe. The front desk service was a bit average, but the concierge and restaurant staff were very good. There's also a shuttle bus to nearby shopping malls. The 7-Eleven at the entrance is open from 7 AM to 11 PM, which is convenient for buying things. However, the hotel doesn't have a microwave, so you can't heat food when the 7-Eleven is closed. There are many restaurants in the residential area, about a 10-minute walk away, offering choices like cha chaan tengs, beef noodles, and char siu rice, and most stay open late. Check-out is quite early at 11 AM. I called the front desk to request a 12 PM check-out, and they said it would cost an extra HKD 130. After check-out, luggage can be stored for free until midnight that day; after midnight, it's HKD 10 per piece per day. When I went to pick up my luggage, I saw a tour group from mainland China, which gives you an idea of the number of tourists the hotel hosts on weekends. Overall, I would still highly recommend it; it offers excellent value for money in Hong Kong!

The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the MTR station, which is acceptable. First of all, the front desk service was excellent. After checking in, I needed to borrow a phone charger, and the front desk staff went out of their way to help me, trying twice to find a suitable one. Then, the room was incredibly good value for money. Because I arrived quite late with my child, the front desk kindly upgraded our room for free. It's my first time staying in such a spacious room in Hong Kong for only a few hundred dollars. Plus, they honored my request from the booking platform to be away from the elevators and on a higher, quieter floor. The room had a living area and a bedroom. The living area had a sofa bed and another bed, while the bedroom had two beds. There were TVs in both areas, a humidifier, an air purifier, and even a vanity table. The bathroom even had disinfectant. The only minor drawback was that the shower partition next to the bed was clear glass. Although there was a curtain, you could still see through it. However, it wasn't a major issue since there's a door separating the bedroom from the living area.

Free upgrade to a premium room (with view): Very good, the city view was especially beautiful, and the front desk staff had excellent service.
Hotel shuttle bus service: Very convenient, it can reach many major tourist attractions.
Due to Hong Kong's plastic ban, free toothbrushes are not provided, but you can buy one for one dollar from a vending machine, so you don't need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. The hotel is right next to Happy Valley, and it's not too far to walk to Causeway Bay, so the overall location is very good.

The renovation is very new, but the room lighting is too dim, likely to create a 'luxurious' atmosphere. It's so dark I couldn't even see my beard when shaving... This really misses the point.

Furthermore, for a seemingly 'boutique' hotel, it's unacceptable that there are no bathrobes in the room. I assume the hotel management made a conscious decision here, but this is a service that absolutely shouldn't be cut.

Although the breakfast selection is limited, the taste is good. Aside from the salad and fruit, everything else was well-made. The scrambled eggs could rival those at a five-star hotel (though without the condiment bar present). The coffee quality is among the best I've had at countless hotel breakfasts, and the chef in the Chinese food section must be very professional.

The bus service is a nice touch. It would be even better if checkout could be extended to 12:00 PM.

Oh, and the gym equipment is excellent. The Guinness stout at the rooftop bar was good, but another local Hong Kong draft beer tasted distinctly off and sour, possibly due to low consumption and deteriorated pipes. If the bar insists the beer wasn't spoiled, then its sour taste matches the bartender's subpar skills.

Also, I often work late. Despite having the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on, why did the cleaning lady keep knocking and waking me up? I was furious at the time; she kept knocking until I opened the door.

The hotel is about an 8-minute walk from Exit C of Olympic MTR station, making it very convenient to get to Hong Kong Disneyland. The MTR station is located inside the Olympian City shopping mall, which is great for shopping and dining. There are also many eateries along the way. Across the street from the hotel, there's a Wellcome supermarket. On several floors of the hotel, near the elevator, there's a free chilled water dispenser. You can buy bottled water at Wellcome, and then refill it at these stations. Just be mindful not to let the bottle mouth touch the dispenser spout for hygiene reasons. The room comes with an electricity card inserted, which keeps the room ventilated. This is handy if you're traveling with others, as it prevents the power from turning off if someone takes the key card with them. The TV works fine, so you can watch it if you have some downtime. The room also has good natural light, although the windows don't open. There's a sofa that can be used to store some items. The front desk staff speak Mandarin and are very helpful. They also offer free luggage storage.

The Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong boasts an excellent location, within walking distance to the Causeway Bay shopping district and MTR station, making it super convenient for getting around and shopping. The rooms are clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the service is thoughtful and attentive. It offers great value for money and is a top-notch accommodation choice for your trip to Hong Kong.

I had a wonderful stay at the Dorsett hotel in Chengdu. Having previously stayed at the same hotel chain in Hong Kong, I was once again impressed by the attentive and thoughtful staff. I requested a non-smoking room with a view on a higher floor, and I believe I was even given an upgrade.
The staff speaks good English and were extremely helpful throughout my stay. They assisted me in booking a visit to the Panda Base and also provided useful recommendations for must-see attractions in Chengdu.
The hotel is very well located, making it easy to explore the city. I will definitely return to this hotel chain whenever I have the opportunity during my travels.

The location is great. It is right next to the line 2 of Shanghai Metro.  There is a public park - Century Park - right cross the street.  The hotel staff was helpful, the room was clean, though the amenities were aged.   One thing that made us uncomfortable is the tub/shower in the bathroom.   It is a very odd configuration with an old plastic tub that flexes when step in, the tub has a relatively high “wall” to hop cross that definitely the point of hazardness.  Also, there are spots of black mold in the seams of the tiles that were kind of gross!      The bathroom definitely need to be reconfigured.   See photos attached.
