Lan Kwai Fong Hotel @ Kau U Fong - Hong Kong

This guest did not leave a comment.

Hotel was in a good location. Great price for the area. Close to airport shuttle. Close to metro. Walking access to many restaurants. In the ex-patriot area of town, so restaurants were cuisines from many places. The big shopping markets of HK are not walkable, but are easily accessible by metro. Hotel was very clean. Plenty of hot water. Hotel staff […] is very courteous. Read more

I booked this location to do some sightseeing after many years, and I can honestly say that for the price you pay, it's a great deal. The rooms are clean. The views are great. And the location is very convenient for walking. Within minutes there are great bars, restaurants, shops and the MTR stations. The only thing that one must be clear about is […] to ensure you are clear that you are going to Lan Kwai Fong Hotel, NOT LKF. The first taxi took us to the wrong hotel, and walking between them was quite tricky. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this hotel. Read more

While the hotel may have renovated rooms, mine was not and was clean but stylistically seedy / old world. I got over it when I realized that the location was first rate - around the corner from the shops and restaurants on trendy Gough Street, a block from the antique galleries on Hollywood, and the trendy restaurant scene in SOHO (Staunton Street) […] .

This hotel is in a great location for walking to the sights and public transportation alternatives. Rooms were small but well maintained and a good price for Hong Kong. We paid extra for a view of the harbor and it was worth it.

The hotel is not a 4 star hotel, even though is in a good location, it is really a 3 star hotel. Rooms and bathrooms are very small, the gym is a joke, in other words, there is no really a gym.

This hotel had a great location and the service staff was very friendly and helpful and spoke good English. Appreciated the free shuttle service to/from the airport express train. A suggestion would be to add a power outlet above the desk to plug in a laptop. The plug is inconviently located under the desk and the hotel telephone had to be unplugged […] in order to insert the laptop plug. Read more

This is a great hotel for the price, especially because most hotels in the central city area are super expensive... Location: very close (10m walk) to the Central subway station, which includes Airport Express and a couple other major lines. There is also a hotel shuttle that takes you to the airport train station for free. Also close to some major […] tourist attractions like Victoria Peak Tram and Lan Kwai Fong, which is misleading because the hotel is NOT actually in Lan Kwai Fong as the name suggests. Neighborhood: Not the best... kind of dirty with a lot of street vendors and litter, but seems safe enough. If you walk toward town for 5 mins it gets nicer. Lots of eateries and city-life buzz nearby. Lobby: free wifi which is nice. Not in the rooms though. Overall kept pretty clean, had no issues with that. The staff are very nice and most speak english well enough to answer basic questions. Rooms: small but very good for asian standards. Big enough to walk around without tripping on your suitcase (which is usually what I experience in most European and Asian hotels). The decor is very nice, they go for kind of a modern/trendy-oriental look. There's a safe in the room. Gym: clean but small with couple of treadmills, all-in-one weight machine, some free weights. Enough for a short stay. Never saw anyone else in there so I'm sure the machines are always available. Thinks there's also a restaurant but never went, with all the cheap eateries available in the area. Overall, had a good stay and would return, though it's more for people who are looking for a comfortable stay for a good deal. If you're looking for a high-quality hotel where you'll be pampered, there are tons to choose from in hong kong. Read more

The Lan Kwai Fong hotel is a moderately-priced gem in pricey Hong Kong. It is in a good location - felt perfectly safe walking in that neighborhood, even at night, and an easy walk to the Star Ferry and the Peak Tram. Check in was quick and efficient and room was pleasant with a fabulous view of the harbour. No problems with noise or anything and got […] a good night's rest. Read more

The Lan Kwai Fong is consistently good and the location cannot be beat. Only issue is that they stint on things like bathroom products... I always bring my own.

Hotel was in a great location on Hong Kong Island & also within easy walking distance to the Central & Sheung Wan MTR lines. Comfortable room, friendly staff & excellent service.

Nothing actually wrong with the place, but nothing to write home about either. Rooms are quite small, as others have noted, and the carpet/furniture looks worn out. You have to get higher than the 25th floor, maybe much higher, to really see the water. The gym is tiny and poorly equipped, the breakfast buffet extremely expensive for what you get -- […] about $22 US for scrambled eggs that sat there for a while and a few things on the side. I travel to Hong Kong often and have paid less for much more for breakfast in other less "boutique" places. My biggest gripe was being placed first in a smoking room that was on the lowest floor that qualified for the water view (which I had paid for). I wonder if this happens to me (a woman) more often than men?? They knew I was on business and checking the hotel for the first time and yet they placed me in a really crummy room until I complained. When moved to a much less stinky room two floors higher, there was a plate of fruit there as well, waiting for what must have been a more important guest? Second biggest gripe: the internet took forever to connect. Once connected, you are fine. Anyway, in sum: nothing seriously wrong with the place, but you can do better for the price. Read more

This has got to be the smallest hotel room on the planet! I'm only 5'9" and my feet are dangling from the bed. The bath tub is closer to a bird bath in size. Its a pity because the location is fabulous and staff are friendly... I guess they have to be with the hotel size they are offering. The advertised 33sqm size probably includes the bathroom and […] parts of the hallway. The actual usable area is about 15sqm only. Read more

This hotel is well-situated, walkable or short taxi ride to all of central offices and to LKF/SoHo area, IFC Mall (where you can also check in for excellent airport train). It' so frustrating wen hotels make you pay for internet these days. It's such a small thing that immediately grates on every guests nerves. Hide it in the price along with your electricity […] bill and all the other incidentals! Rooms small as you've heard but actually not too bade for one person on business or a close couple. Clean which is important for me. Bed may be for the Asian dimensions. OK view. On site eating options not sure about - says Michelin starred but there are SO many good restaurants within walking distance, not a prob and for those wanting goo Western breakfast there's also a Pret (and Starbucks if you must) just down the hill. I came over from a week in Shangri-La Singapore so was naturally little crestfallen but it actually does a job. Just don't expect all the space, amenities and slick operation of the Shangri-La in this place and it's solid choice. If I had paid say USD150 and with a wife/gf, I'd be v happy. 7s week made the hotel v overpriced. Read more

Space is at a premium in Hong Kong, and one guide book described the hotel as "relatively spacious." The room was small but well appointed and clean. The hotel was quiet. The Breeze lounge / restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was good and interesting, but the location was great. On a fourth floor outdoor terrace, you get a nice sense of space […] along with an outdoor atmosphere of Hong Kong. The hotel is near the central escalator so there is easy access to the Central MTER stration, the Central Ferry piers and the Mid-levels. There are a lot of hot evening spots within a few blocks of the hotel. If we return to Hong Kong, we would consider returning to this hotel. Read more

This hotel was pretty sweet... Perfect location for getting around the city and walking to a lot of stuff. The area around is pretty fun for a little nightlife on the weekends. I'm surprised people complained about the noise, must be light sleepers! What sums it up for me is that I plan on going back so long as the prices stay reasonable. By the way, […] you don't need to go to the expensive restaurants to find good food in HK.. Read more

We stayed here for two nights and it was a pleasant experience. They provide free shuttle pick up from / to Hong Kong Central station. Within 10 minutes walk to the nearest MTR station, but we got lost in our first attempt because of the way the hotel is situated, I wish they had provided us with "turn-by-turn" walking direction cheat sheet to the MTR […] station. We love the beautiful oriental-styled decoration of the room, the size was comfortable enough for the two us to move around, it has big windows with beautiful view of the harbor from 30th floor. The receptionist and other staffs are all very friendly and helpful. Read more

The Lan Kwai Fong Hotel provides a convenient and reasonably priced place to stay in Hong Kong Central District (on the island) from where it is a short walk to many places the visitor will want to explore. Plenty of shops are close by, together with stalls operated by cheerful local vendors in the best HK tradition. I will certainly be happy to stay […] there again and will willingly recommend it to colleagues and friends. Read more

Sound insulation is poor. One hears everything of what is going on next door and even on the other floors.

This hotel is really great for many reasons: perfect location for subways, shopping, restaurants and bars; quiet rooms; small business center for emailing; and a really nice, helpful staff. There were a few slightly negative sides to our stay, but given the positives, I would still go back. The rooms were clean, but I like my hotels REALLY clean, and […] noticed that the shower tiles in the corner could have been scrubbed or bleached a bit more. We stayed at the hotel at the beginning of May which is the start of HK's humid months and we found the room difficult to de-humidfy. We felt damp a lot of the times. Avoid the 7th Floor restaurant for breakfast - it is really expensive for what you can get elsewhere. The coffee is quite good though, but pricey. We paid extra to stay on one of the top floors (30th) with harbor views, which I think was worth it. But I'm pretty sure you can get some harbor views down lower as well. Read more

In HK for 5 days of business and 3 days of vacation. Moved from the Exclsior Hotel (great business hotel) to this hotel in order to stay in a "real" HK neighborhood. Rooms are nicely appointed, very clean, and very small. Tiny bathroom, even with the "super deluxe" option. Great views both day and night from our NE corner room on the 30th floor. Hotel […] personnel very helpful and knowledgeable. This hotel is near the hip SOHO area which has dozens of restaurants and clubs. The HK escalator is nearby so getting up the hill is easy. This location may be difficult for senior citizens due to the surrounding steep hills. Easy cab ride to the HK/Kowloon ferry. Read more

horrible hotel,small and not worth money for sure

Nice place located several blocks from the hopping LKF hot spots. Comfortable and quiet room. Had a nice view back toward the mountains. For the money, this was a real find in the heart of Hong Kong. It's not a resort, so don't expect pool etc. But all in all, a great place with friendly staff.

Very good price for the quality of the hotel and location. 20 minutes walk from Star Ferry and main Central buildings. Neighborhood a little down market, but hotel clean, up to date and very nice. 5 Minutes from Queen Street. and near Lan Kwai Fung nightlife.

Location is great to get to LKF and Central is not far away. The rooms are bit small, but very cozy and well designed. Breakfast was good and staff are superb.

Small rooms, but good location. Overall it was a nice hotel, though they could use more outlets in the rooms!

A delightful find. Excellent in everyway - staff very helpful, rooms tastefully appointed and location so handy to great restaurants, cafes, bars and transport. Will certainly recommend to friends and family. In fact, will stay there again myself!!

The Hotel is OK, but the price is a little high for the standard. Small rooms, but they are clean and in ok condition.

Location, location, location, and free airport express train shuttle (must make reservation in advance). Small bathroom as expected of HK hotels. Steep sidewalk outside the hotel as expected of the area. Walk to LKF, train stations, conveient stores, traditional markets. Will stay here again.

Lan Kwai Fong hotel was extremely convenient. It was easy to find and located in bustling central HK. It was near great restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing, including the famous escalators. A quick walk from the MTR and ferry stations. The hotel itself was very nice. The service staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean with nice […] decorative touches. Rooms were small but adequate. I would go back to this hotel on my next visit to HK. Read more

The room is very small and uncomfortable. Eventhough we had requested a non-smoking room , we have been given a smoking room and it stinks. We were given a room for disabled perons with a large bathroom room with a very very small sleeping area that you can only open your luggages on your bed! The Chinese style furniture looks cheap and lack of maintanence. […] the LCD TV is smaller than my computer monitor. Staff lack of energy and looks very tired and unfocused. Read more

Central location in Central HKG on with feHKG island w meters to Soho bar and dining area, charming Gatham street and just minutes away from Peak Tram and Star ferries to Kowloon. Small room, small bath but beds comfortable and everything was there, even bathrobe and morning slippers. View over harbour. In short; good location, small, charming and comfortable. […] + helpful staff. Read more

The Lan Kwai Fong hotel is a smart but reasonably-priced hotel right in the centre of Hong Kong. With a modern take on traditional chinese styling, it looks better than your average cookie-cutter business hotel, and service is a notch up the scale too. The immediate streets around the hotel aren't terribly prepossessing, but that's all part of being […] in central Hong Kong, and the hotel itself is none the worse for it. My room would have been a touch on the small side for two, but by contrast the bathroom was quite generous. Unlike some of the other hotels I've stayed at in HK, the plumbing was fully-functional too (no problems with water pressure in the shower). A huge fruit bowl in the bedroom was a nice touch and meant I didn't have to go looking (or paying) for breakfast. Throughout the hotel, the staff were friendly, helpful and ready to chat. All in all, a good choice. Read more

Hotel is well-located near Hong Kong/Shanghuan/Central stations. Nice to walk around with lotsa of yummy eateries and vibrant nightlife.

Service is good but Don't forget turn off air condition before sleep.

While not located in the action as the "other Lan Kwai Fong Hotel" is (so make sure you know where you are booking) it is very well located to access and explore Central and Western districts and likely quieter being on a residential cul de sac. Clean, well appointed rooms (though small), helpful staff - all good. Free shuttle to the Airport Express […] terminal in Central made for hassle free departure. Only gripe is that they do not offer free wi-fi and in this day of age that was a surprise. Read more

Right in the heart of things in the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. Plenty of bars and cheap eats around the hotel albeit some a little too authentic to the truly westaen palate!! Harbour view very distant and not worth paying extra for.

Very helpful and accommodating staff. Great location if you don't mind walking up and down hilly but not an easy one for taxi. Lovely harbor views if you choose one of those rooms. Small rooms even for Hongkong. I didn't mind though. Tasteful decoration. Pleasant stay overall.
