The Harbour Plaza Resort City offers excellent value for money. It's rare to find such spacious rooms in Hong Kong. The rooms are clean and tidy, and from the high floors, you get an expansive park view. The quiet environment ensures a very comfortable sleep. It's close to the Light Rail station and connected to a shopping mall downstairs, making dining and shopping very convenient. There's also an outdoor swimming pool and a gym, so the recreational facilities are comprehensive. The front desk staff are polite. Overall, it's suitable for families or travelers looking to avoid high-priced city accommodation. A very satisfying experience, highly recommended. (Trip.com)

Taking the A21 airport bus, I got off at Nathan Road near Middle Road and walked about 6-7 minutes to reach The Kowloon Hotel. It's quite convenient if you don't have too much luggage.

The Kowloon Hotel is in a great location, close to Victoria Harbour, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby.

However, there were no complimentary toiletries or bottled water. The internet connection was also very poor, both the hotel's Wi-Fi and my own portable Wi-Fi.

The hotel's location near Kowloon Walled City was initially a bit of a concern, even for a business trip where I wouldn't have time to explore. However, after exiting the subway and walking a few hundred meters to the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, the bedding was very comfortable, and there was even a shuttle bus to West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station. It turned out to be the best alternative to staying at a hotel closer to West Kowloon that I had originally planned. Pictures 1 and 2 show the exterior view from a high-floor smoking room, and Picture 3 is the drop-off point for the free shuttle bus at West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station.

An excellent, impressive hotel – it immediately gives off the vibe of a large, full-fledged hotel, and the name Plaza really suits it. Inside, it smells very pleasant; even approaching the hotel, you can detect a nice, subtle, sweet jasmine scent.

The hotel is easy to find: there are signs from the metro, and once you exit onto the street, its building is immediately visible – it's large and stands out.

Check-in was very quick: several staff members were working at the large reception desk. We were given a room with two twin beds and a private terrace-balcony (a nice bonus). Each of us received a separate key card – for me, this is a prime indicator of guest care. The cost of our stay turned out to be quite low considering the number of nights we booked.

Check-out was also very quick, but the 11:00 AM check-out time is not very convenient.

The hotel is very quiet. The corridors are long, but you rarely encounter anyone there. The room was also very quiet. Housekeeping is done daily, and the Wi-Fi works well. There's a pool, but from what I understood, it closes quite early (I don't remember exactly, around 7-8 PM), so I didn't get a chance to use it.

The room made a very good impression. It's large, clean, and comfortable. Two comfortable beds, nice bedding, a small table, a full set of towels, slippers, a safe, a refrigerator, tea, coffee, and sugar. The room also has a hairdryer, TV, air conditioning, thick blackout curtains, and tissues.

I especially liked the toiletries in the bathroom: the shower gel has a very pleasant scent, and there's also shampoo and hand cream. The plumbing is in good condition – and yes, that's important, because issues with plumbing are quite common in hotels.

As for the downsides – there are no power outlets near the bed. USB ports were available on the desk, but they charge quite slowly, so it's best to bring an adapter. Perhaps adapters can be obtained at reception, but I didn't ask.

Like many hotels in Hong Kong, the room does not provide disposable amenities or bottled water – the hotel adheres to an eco-friendly approach.

The location is generally convenient. The hotel is not far from the waterfront, although it's not immediately obvious how to get there the first time. You need to head towards the stadium (Coliseum), and then through pedestrian overpasses: to the left – to the waterfront, and straight through the first overpass above the bus stop – towards the city. The metro is next to the hotel, and it's just one stop from West Kowloon Station – very quick. There's also a bus stop nearby with routes towards Wan Chai and Central via the underwater tunnel.

The hotel itself is actually connected to a small, modest shopping center. There's a good grocery store there and several cafes/restaurants. McDonald's is located within the metro station building.

Someone mentioned money exchange shops in the mall in a review – I couldn't find any. If you need to exchange money, you can find an ATM in the underpass behind the metro station building, opposite the passage to the university, but the exchange rate there isn't the best. It's better to use the exchange shops south of Tsim Sha Tsui station, on Nathan Road – there's a whole floor dedicated to them. It's about a 12-15 minute walk from the hotel or one metro stop.

Overall, I felt really comfortable here. A spacious and clean room, quietness, everything I needed at hand, and a convenient location. My impressions of the hotel were very positive.

Every time I bring my kids to Hong Kong, we stay at Hotel Alexandra. It's clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated. It's also conveniently located near Victoria Park and Mount Parker. The nearby Peninsula Cafe is also delicious. We'll definitely be staying here again next time!

Every time I'm on a business trip to HK, I like to stay in North Point. It's close to Central but not as crowded. As soon as I stepped out of the taxi at this hotel, I could feel a strong 'dated' vibe. The room size isn't small, but the facilities are really old, similar to a 90s four-star hotel in mainland China. They don't even provide complimentary disposable toiletries. I had breakfast for three days, and it was almost the same every day. The guy making omelets was sweating profusely daily. It's about a 50-meter walk to the MTR station and also very close to the ICAC, which is worth a visit.

The room was very spacious, clean, and tidy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I felt a very warm welcome from the check-in staff. The entire lobby was bright and comfortable. Whenever I had a request, the staff were very approachable and friendly. Plus, the value for money is excellent. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

The hotel was quite good overall. We brought our kids to play nearby, and seeing that we had children with us, the front desk proactively offered us rocking horse vouchers. Since we had a lot of luggage while traveling, they also kindly helped us with it. The overall service was really excellent.
