This was my first trip to Hong Kong, and after researching locations, Tsim Sha Tsui seemed to be the most recommended. I compared a few hotels; originally, I considered staying at the Shangri-La because I had points, which made it a good deal. However, looking at the map, the Sheraton appeared more convenient. Here’s my experience during my stay:
1. **Convenient Location**: The transportation is indeed excellent. It’s close to both MTR and bus stations, right next to The Peninsula Hotel. So, if a route gets you to The Peninsula, it'll get you to the Sheraton.
2. **Plenty to Do Nearby**: There are many attractions and photo-op spots nearby, as well as dining and shopping options. Victoria Harbour, Avenue of Stars, K11, luxury boutiques inside The Peninsula Hotel, and various popular foodie spots are all very close.
3. **Great Service**: Aside from the first day when it took a bit long to get an extra blanket, everything else was excellent. They even sent a small dessert on my birthday, which was a lovely touch. The floor attendants I encountered were also very nice.
4. **Important Notes**: There's more than one main entrance on the arrival level. Choose based on your transportation; the main entrance is best for taxis, while the side entrances are more convenient for other modes. Check-in is on the second floor. Since the hotel is older, it lacks smart features, so many things are manual. For example, the toilet flush is powerful, so it's best to close the lid before flushing. The air conditioning can be quite noisy, so if you're a light sleeper, earplugs are recommended. There's a bar on the 17th floor with great views of Victoria Harbour at night, definitely worth a visit.
