SsamegasukiI booked a premium sea view room, but since it was on the 5th floor, the view wasn't as impressive as I'd hoped.
The hotel is a 35-minute shuttle bus ride from Tsim Sha Tsui. If you're looking to enjoy the bustling city nightlife, I wouldn't recommend it, as the last shuttle bus is at 7:30 PM, leaving taxis as your only option.
I knew from the website's amenities list that they were reducing plastic, so I brought my own toothbrush, expecting none to be provided. However, I found toothbrushes, slippers, and a hairdryer in the room. Hand soap, shampoo, and conditioner were also available. But there were no pajamas, so if you're planning a stay, you'll need to bring your own.
The beach is right behind the hotel. I went for a walk at 5:30 AM and locals were already chatting and swimming. It's not a quiet beach, so if you're looking for a tranquil private beach experience, you might be disappointed.
The shuttle bus stop from Tsim Sha Tsui was a bit hard to find. It's located in the basement of China Hong Kong City, where the taxi and bus stands are, and the entrance to China Hong Kong City serves as the waiting area. Even for hotel guests, it cost HKD 30 one way. The website stated that it was free for guests, but they definitely charged me.
When I told the bellboy about the website saying it was free for guests, the bus driver overheard and made a 'why?' gesture, then angrily walked away. I felt like I was being treated as a liar. Eventually, the bellboy explained that guests who booked via an app are not eligible for the free ride. While I understood the explanation, their attitude was unpleasant. Although I recognize that misunderstanding the website's wording was my fault, this negative experience means I probably won't use this hotel again.
