Review of OZO Wesley Hong Kong

Hong Kong, China's gateway to the world, is a city...

Hong Kong, China's gateway to the world, is a city of superlatives and is one of the most fascinating metropolises on earth and one of the most popular destinations for city trips. It is not for nothing that Hong Kong has repeatedly taken the top position of the 5 most visited cities in the world. The dynamism and growth of Hong Kong and China is also reflected in prices. Hong Kong is now one of the most expensive cities in the world. This also applies to hotel prices. The visitor can choose from thousands of hotels of every color. However, be careful when choosing a hotel! A very interesting and top located hotel is the Ozo Wesley in Hong Kong Central *, which we visited in January 2019.

Ozo Wesley Hong Kong
The Ozo Wesley Hong Kong * is located directly on the busy Hennessy Road on the edge of Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island. The MTR stations Admiralty and Wan Chai can be reached in about 8-10 minutes on foot. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel, with which you can go to all important points on Hong Kong Island. There is also a tram stop around 100m away.

The entrance hall is very modern. Next to the reception there is a waiting area with iMacs and snacks and drinks can be purchased.

The rooms
The available rooms are distributed between 6 and 14 floors. Standard rooms, superior rooms and suites are available. The standard rooms are on the 6th - 9th floors, although they are relatively small at 20sqm, but correspond to the Hong Kong standard. The rooms are divided into living room and bathroom. In the living room there is a sitting area with a table.

The room we lived in was on the 6th floor. Despite its location facing the street, it was quiet. However, the room was shabby and only partially clean. Unfortunately, this continued in the bathroom.

The room has a safe, kettle and hairdryer.

The food
Optionally, breakfast can be booked for 19 , which is offered in a breakfast room on the 1st floor in buffet form. The guest can choose between classic egg dishes or continental breakfast as well as Chinese or Indian breakfast. The service is good and always tried hard. The bottom line is that the surcharge for breakfast is worth it to start the day.

Surroundings
There are many restaurants, bars and cafes in the Wan Chai district within 5 minutes. The White Stack on Lockhart Road is ideal for a quick beer or the Honbo for a hamburger among locals. A 7Eleven store and a cleaning, as well as a coffee shop are right next to the hotel or can be reached in 2 minutes

Conclusion
The Ozo Wesley Hong Kong impresses with its perfect location in Wan Chai, good transport links and a good price / performance ratio. But you can overlook the weaknesses in room service.
