Excellent location. About a 3-5 minute walk from the MTR subway station, which makes it easy access for site-seeing in Kowloon and the Hong Kong side. They will hold your luggage all day, so if you check out in the morning, you can pick up your luggage in the evening and conveniently get to the MTR or a taxi.

If you're going to Lantau island (for the Big Buddha or Disneyland) and then leaving on an international flight home, you might consider selecting a second hotel for those nights, as they are about an hour away by taxi or MTR. A taxi from this hotel to the airport area at night was about 250 HKD, but the hotel quoted up to 350 HKD. For a group of 3 people, the taxi is the more convenient and affordable option to get to the airport area, unless you have already paid for the pre-paid tourist Octopus card.

Staff was friendly, rooms were clean. Wi-fi was free and reliable. Breakfast buffet was extensive, but the food wasn't as good as some of the breakfast buffets I'd tried at our mainland China hotels. As a vegan, make sure you notify the staff of your dietary limitations. They had soymilk one day, but not others. Some of the foods that were labeled as vegetarian actually had fish or other meat in them. It was probably my fault for not notifying them and just trying to guess base on the signs, but signs for whether or not there was meat inside were inconsistent. The vegetables that I was able to eat were just okay. I'd say that pastries really seemed to be the star of this buffet, but unfortunately I couldn't eat any of them. Even the steam bun options were entirely filled with meat, which hadn't been the case at any of the other hotels I'd stayed at.
