Silka West Kowloon Hotel - Kowloon

The hotel staff was very nice when we checked in. We found the rooms to be clean. Much like ALL Hong Kong hotels, they are not big rooms. The shower was about a 3 ft x 3 ft space. For the price and location though, we can't complain. About a 5 minute walk from the Olympic station. Close to the electronics market and a lot of great places to eat.

The rooms are fairly small and you get what you pay for. Notwithstanding, the hotel staff is very helpful and they provide wifi to the rooms which was an asset for us. The roomd where also fairly clean and well kept. It iis an ideal hotel for a short stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very affordable, especially given the average price of surrounding hotels. Rooms are comfy and very well kept. It is also well-located, only five minutes walk from the Olympic Station subway stop.

Hotel room quite small, but I heard that in HK almost all the hotels`rooms are small! Otherwise I had a nice view from the 16th floor. Hotel is new and the staff was very helpful. This was one of the cheapest hotel I could find in this category. The location was not bad, but need a good walk from the metro station.

Overall was okay however no free wifi available not even in the lobby, they should upgrade their service

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was extremely helpful. My suitcase was destroyed by the time I arrived, and the staff assisted me with finding a new one. They gave me a map, with my destination circled and sent me on the shuttle. They also had another English/Chinese speaking guest assist me with finding the correct market and making sure I knew where to be picked up by […] the shuttle on the way back. The free computers/internet in the cafe were very nice. Everything was great about this hotel, except the bed was a little short and firm for me. However, that was not a huge deal. I will definitely stay there again. Read more

Is ok for the value..

this is the best 3-star hotel with great service. I will recommend it to others and I will also come back to stay again for my next trip. I will give it a 3.5-star rating for this hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel turned out to be the perfect hotel for my needs: one night transit in Hong Kong, inexpensive (by HKG standards), clean, conveniently located for easy access from/to airport. The rooms are barely adequate in size, but that was okay. All I wanted was a place to sleep and shower and this place lived up to that nicely, and at half the price of […] most other "cheap" Hong Kong hotels. I will stay here anytime in the future when I'm in Hong Kong on my own dime. Read more

Hotel is ok. But if you will be rushing to the airport upon checkout, checkout early. There was no line in checkout but took around 15 to 20 minutes to checkout. For key deposit, try using cash yo facilitate checkout.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

You are very close to shopping in Wong Kok but that means you have to walk for 15mins to get the subway. Tiny room but that is anywhere in Hong Kong for that price. You may need to ask for more pillows but they are more than willing to give you more pillows if you ask them.

First of all, the internet is NOT FOR FREE! I booked a room at that hotel because it was on the way from Shenzhen to the Hongkong Airport, and I didn't have much cash money left, actually only enough to pay the MTR and airport express, fortunately I could book and pay the hotel online on Expedia. But when I arrived they told me I have to pay a deposit. […] I told them that I don't have much cash and that my credit card is still on the way from Germany to China and didn't arrive, so after a long discussion they let me stay there without paying a deposit. But after I activated the wireless network of my laptop on the room I found out that I need a password. At the reception they told me I have to pay for a few hours internet access. I was shocked, how can it be that such a hotel doesn't provide free internet access like all other hotels? And then they told me they cannot accept my credit card number, they need the card itsself. I was shocked again. Especially at that time I needed internet for making phone calls via Skype, my cell phone was stolen in Shenzhen before, so I didn't have another possibility. I finally used the phone on the room and left the hotel without checking out the next day. And about the room itsself, the beds are much too short, I am 1.77 m but they were too short for me, how can taller people sleep there? I washed my clothes on the evening and expected that they are dry the next morning as usual, but in this room they weren't. I will never stay there again. Read more

very tiny room, poor service, high price, should have wifi

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was small but adequate. We had twin beds with a small space between them. It was clean and quiet. Being within walking distance of the subway made it very convenient for us to go into Hong Kong or out to the Big Buddha. Breakfast was not included but available at a reasonable price. We would stay here again

Genuine Expedia guest review

Place is average mediocre place. rooms are extremely small. If your from the U.S, I do not recommend staying there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Besides the internet that was significantly unstable, the hotel is of very good standard with a very caring crew. I would go there again without doubt.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel location is close to Olympic station from which you can get around most of Hong Kong. Olympic centre is close by with shops and restaurants aplenty. Takes 30 min to get in to Hong Kong island. Hotel beds are hard and not suited for persons above 180. Staff is very helpful and overall it was a ok stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel offers a good price for a comfortable room with good service. The bed was a little short, but otherwise the room was good. The hotel itself is out of the way. The closest metro is Olympic, not super convenient. It is not always easy to get a taxi in the neighbourhood. There are not a lot of restaurants or stores nearby. It is a few blocks […] from Mongkok, so I ended up just walking down there most of the time. Read more

I booked this hotel based mainly on previews reviews. I found the hotel to have really really small rooms. I have stayed in 3 other hotels in HK, and this was the smallest. I was not aware that internet had an extra charge of HK$50 an hour. For that money I had to pay extra I might as well stayed at a better hotel that included it. The desk was right […] next to the bed and had no chair, so you had to sit on your bed if you wanted to type on the desk. The neighborhood is generally dingy, and its not close to a MTR station.

This hotel is an excellent value for the budget traveler or someone looking for a place to shower and sleep. The staff was friendly and fluent in English. The room was small as most are in Hong Kong but our room was clean and cozy. You do have to take a 10 minute walk to the MTR. This was our 5th trip to Hong Kong and this hotel was as nice as any we […] have ever stayed in and we will definitely stay there in the future. Read more

The main problem with this hotel is that the bed was so hard we could not possibly sleep on such hard a matress. Very bad after a long flight from Canada The room was so small we could hardly move in it. The staff told us that all rooms in the hotel had such a hard matress. They found some small soft matresses to put over ours or we could not have possibly […] slept there. Read more

The rooms are quite small, about 3m by 4m including the bathroom. The carpet had a lot of stains on it, but otherwise the room was clean. It is not very convenient, as it is about a 12-15 minute walk from either the Olympic or Mongkok MTR stations. Catching a taxi is not too difficult, however. The beds are hard by western standards, but fine for me. […] The shower is small, walk-in (which I prefer), and the hot water and flow are good. There is no heat in the room, so on a cold day in January (when I was there), you need to get a space heater. If you get it for a good price, then it is OK for a stay, but be aware of the location.

The rooms are very, very small. If you're taller than 5'8 you're feet will hang off the bed. The room was clean and the staff was nice.

Stayed in the hotel for 2 days..Good for travelers on the budget..Clean room and location is great..Staff are friendly and helpful..Dont expect big hotel room,and bathroom..Dont expect big bed and softness..But over all good experience..

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is located in the penninsula side of Hong Kong and because it is not in the area of Lan Kwai Fong, it is inexpensive and has more spacious rooms. Because of the British influence, hotels tend to be boutique hotels and rooms are very small. This hotel was very clean, the service was amazing, and it was very close to the shopping areas of Hong […] Kong, specifically the well known Nathan Road. Read more

The hotel was great, with big room, considering it was in Hong Kong. The location was very convenient, and with a lot of shops and restaurants. The main problem was with the reception as it hasn't kept my reservation for one double bed and insisted for giving me a two singles bed room. Although I knew the type of bed was only an option, at the reception […] it was saying to me that the only reason I got the two singles bad was because I have wanted a non-smoking room. But, as I agreed to move to the smoking floors, I was told that there was a misunderstood and there wasn't left any double bed room. Only when I complained to the superviser I got the room which I wanted at the first place. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Whilst the hotel is functional as a place to spend one night, you wouldn't want to stay there for any longer. No free internet access.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I had a pleasant stay at The Silka West Kowloon Hotel, found it to be a great base at a reasonable price. It suited me perfectly as i merely used it as a secure base, from which to shower, sleep and day trip from (a short stroll to public transport),and was clean and quiet in an otherwise lacklustre area.

Genuine Expedia guest review

the hotel room is too small, especially the toilet. Once you open the toilet door, the next person cant stand to the bed, you have to move stay on bed. That's means to say the room is too..... small. It will be good if the management can look into this. Secondly hotel staff gave different advise/direction to tourist. example hotel provide free shuttle […] bus to mongkok MTR, however hotel staff did not even mentioned after we checked. in addition, they are also not aware what is the place of interest to provide!!!!

Stay clear away from this hotel. Micro mini rooms and they CHARGE YOU $15 fFOR WIFI. (WE WERE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $55) ALSO THERE WAS ONLY ONE OUTLET... JUST ONE!!!! STAFF SEEMED NOT TO CARE... NEVER EVER WOULD WE STAY HERE AGAIN.... EVER!

Very nice hotel near Tsing Yi and Mongkok. Nice location and tidy, great for a short stay. One thing I was slightly annoyed at was the internet. They said it was $100HKD for 24hours, but when I checked out of the room in the morning I lost access.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was such an exciting experience to be staying at Silka. The hotel staff are very courteous and accommodating. The hotel is accessible to the Ladies Market, The Flower Market, Mongkok Road, etc.

Will definitely use it again and recommend it to my friends and relatives.

If you are out for some shopping rounds in HK, yet do not want to spend a fortune in hotel, here is the place! This hotel is fairly conveniently located for shopping trips in Won Kok. The service is quite OK, too, with friendly and helpful people working there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Loaction close to Mong Kok is ok. Rooms are as small as anywhere in HK at this price range which would be acceptable. Feeling of beeing in a mainland China Hotel. Floors are disgusting dirty, bed was clean. Terrible noisy AC. Access to internet isn't included in the rate. 1 hour 30 HK$ - a rip off. No breakfast included as well.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A very small but comfortable room. The carpet filthy and need to be cleaned or replaced - my only complaint. Small but modern and clean bathroom (only shower) and a big window with lots of light. As hotel prices go and what one pays at the Dorsett, I would highly recommend this as excellent value for the budget traveller. The sheets and towels are excellent […] quality and I had to request them NOT to change it on a daily basis. The amenities in the room is like a five-star establishment. I would say that, before anyone complaints or critisizes, they should investigate hotels in similar budget!!!! Compare apples with apples and there simply is no comparison. Location is about 10 mins. walk from Langham Place and Nathan Rd. Mong Kok area. Hotel shuttle available every hour. Surrounded by small industries in side roads but you walk briskly past these - can also learn about daily life in HK. For the value, highly recommended. Read more

The bed was too short (5'3"). The bathroom was flooded everytime we were taking a shower. It was a non-smoking room, however the room, the sheets and the towels smell like smoke. The reception refused to give us a second key card for the room even though we we were two persons to check-in. This is not the quality I expect from a three stars hotel, this […] is not even worth a one star hotel! We pay quite a lot of money and it was really not worth it! Read more

It is what is for the price. The only major issue is the location. There are other more centrally located places, but you are close to Olympic.
