I simply cannot fault this hotel. A really great location, in Kowloon and adjacent to the huge Harbour City Shopping Centre. Very close to the Star Ferry which takes you across to Hong Kong Island . Also it is in the heart of the vibrant and incredibly busy shopping areas although I was there at the time of the Chinese New Year.

I had a Harbour View room - 1057 and think it was worth the extra cost - great views across to Hong Kong Island. I didn't use the restaurant but had breakfast via room service- very efficient. I used the lobby lounge for a snack - very attentive service.

I hadn't been to Hong Kong before but would certainly stay here again and for the tourrist would recommend they stay in Kowloon as opposed to Hong Kong Island.

We stayed here on a 2 night stoppover from Australia to London. The exec floor is decorated as an English Gentleman's Club - all leather and polished wood - and we think that must have been the source of the smell! Not exactly nasty, but not exactly pleasant - the entire 17th and 18th floords of this hotel have a distinctive niff! Other than that the rooms are large and well appointed with nice bathrooms that have plenty of towels. The exec lounge serves breakfast. light lunch, afternoon tea and cocktails and is a pleasant place to wait for your hotel transfer if you have a late night flight back to the UK. The most disappointing feature is the very limited harbour view (if you have made a point of booking a harbour view room or suite). You will have a good view into the cruise ship terminal with glimpses of the Hong Kong skyline from side windows - not exactly as advertised! A reasonable hotel - but I'd stay at the Langham for the same money.

We stayed at Marco Polo hotels several times, but this is first time at room 865, which is a deluxe suite.

The room is spacious, with excellent view of Victoria harbour, including Ocean Terminal and Central district of HK Island. You can watch is Symphony of Light show in the room.

The marathon start at 7:45 am, we have to eat breakfast 2 hours before the race, but the coffee shop open at 6:30 am, so we ordered room service at 5:45 am, sure enough, the door bell ringed start at 5:45 am. Just great for us!

The hotel don't have a gym or pool, guest can use the nearby Fitness First at HK$55. We wanted to use the sauna but too lazy to walk and search for it.

One thing I found slightly inconvenient is the elevator key card (room key is separated), you have to insert that in order to reach your floor, so many things to carry so I either couldn't find it or forgot to bring it.

Well, after staying in budget accommodation we splashed out and planned to spend NYE in luxury and let me tell you we were not disappointed.
Our agent had stuffed up and instead of 3 beds we only had 1 huge bed (two singles pushed together) but this bed was soooo huge we were able to sleep 3 of us in the one bed. I have to say this was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in.
The room was large, bathroom was large and plenty of wardrobe space - oved the robes and slippers.
The view was ok - we had harbour glimpses and a great view of the building work that was going on next door.
Room service was great. The pool was rather special, plenty of room for sunbathing. Towels are provided and the attendants serve you a glass of water once you find your seat. There is a trick to entering through the waterfalls though.
We had a great view of the NYE fireworks and all in all it was a great stay.
