The hotel does not have all the things it says it has on their website add. No wifi unless u want.to hang out in the supersmall lobby. The staff gets attitude when they try to help u. There is no food selection for room service. Hotel maids dont care much for do not disturb sign they wanna clean ur room regardless of what u want. The size of the rooms […] are not what u see advertised. the only good thing is its a 6min walk to train.station. Read more

Staff at the front desk were rude- no greetings, smiles, nor thank you. Not sure what kind of service industry they are in. Toilets were not flashing and they didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. There are plenty of other hotels to choose from around the area.

Located in lively area of Mongkok and Prince Edward but still a 10-15mins distance away. Rooms are dreadfully small. Can barely extend your arms straight in the toilet.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Hotel and location are fine, a stone throw away from Prince Edward MTR. The room, even for HK standards is small. It was not possible to open the suitcase and be able to move. The AC had one setting, freezer. When I checked in they told me they had given me an upgrade, which made me wonder if the lesser room would have been even smaller. As long […] as you know what you are in for it is not a bad place. Read more

Rooms are really small.... Small means really small

Genuine Expedia guest review

My problem with this hotel is that the rooms were tiny like closets. I felt a bit claustrophobic when I first got in. Shower space is so small that a normal size person will have trouble moving his body around. Also, we were given one bar of soap for the 3 nights there.

Location is good. Hotel room is small. Hotel price is good.

If you wanna be in the center of tourist central, this isn't the hotel for you. Better to stay in Hong Kong Island for that. But the Oriental Lander is great because it's located in Kowloon just a few blocks from all the best shopping and malls (where the locals shop) and is only 2 blocks away from the MTR public train station, so you can easily get […] around to rest of Hong Kong for sight seeing. It's right "near" the action, without being right "in" the action. The hotel won't win any resort awards. It's small, no room service, super small rooms (no drawers or dressers), and no pool. But it's clean, centrally located, is cheap, and has free internet (wifi in the lobby and ethernet in the room). As for the room size their tiny... but you shouldn't spend most of your time in the rooms anyways. It's a perfect clean/cozy spot for resting up. The rest of your should be spent outside shopping, sight seeing, partying, and experiencing Hong Kong! The staff speaks English and are pretty friendly and helpful if you need them. Word of advice: if you have a few electronics to charge, it's best to bring a splitter (in addition to a converter for HK) because there are only 2 outlets in the standard room. Read more

The room is too small and expensive!! There is no space for suitcase. I have to put it on the hallway blocking the door, which is dangerous in case of fire. The whole bath room is around 4 feet x 4 feet. Very uncomfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

VERY TINY, no room to turn in the shower, cannot shampoo hair without hitting your arms on the walls. Clean enough, but stingy on giving out water, shampoo, and soaps, Do not expect any bottled water or soap, or shampoo after day 1. We stayed for 3 nights and we were only given 1 soap to use for 3 days for the 2 of us. Convenient location....

With one complaint I was happy with this hotel. The complaint ? The beds are VERY HARD. I had to use the comforter from the second bed and an extra comforter from the management to be able to sleep comfortably on the bed. The neighborhood was fine, inasmuch as working class is fine with me. The staff spoke enough english for me to get the help I needed. […] The hotel is within a few blocks of a subway stop and, except for the bed, served as a useful, economical place to stay in HK. Readers should know that I looked at the Pearl Street Guesthouse before I stayed at the Oriental Lander. That served to calibrate my expectations. My room, the one with a plate of fruit on the bed in the hotel's photos, was very small and there was no fruit on the bed or flowers in the 'clothes hanging space' as the photos show. But, it was adequate for staying by myself in HK. Hong Kong is an extremely crowded place and my hotel room was no exception. Read more

Small room, sure, no arguments here, but it is clean. The staff is courteous, fluent in english, and willing to answer any questions. It's very close to Prince Edward station. If you're just looking for a place to sleep while exploring Hong Kong, this is the place to be - the price is right.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My family and I needed a htoel for one night as their flight out of HK was early the next morning. This hotel was clean and comfortable at a reasonable price.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I stayed here for 3 nights. Perfect for one person who will mostly be outside in town. It's small, and I mean, TINY! I stayed in a 2 single bed rooms and there was barely room for my luggage. The best thing was FREE internet :) WOOHOO. Its an old hotel that Smells and Feels Old. Receptionist spoke English which was a good thing. Probably the best feature […] about this hotel, the elevator walls looks nice. Good Luck! Read more

This is the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in. But, it is as clean as it is small. I'm 5'9" 160 lbs (175 cm, 72 kg) and had a hard time fitting in the shower. Anyone larger than me would have a difficult time fitting in there. It is a bit far north, but still close to plenty of restaurants, and the subway. They let me leave my luggage there […] for a few hours after checkout too. Read more

Not recommended unless on a budget

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is in a good location and the bus from the airport knows the hotel and stops at the front door. The room is very small if you are used to travel to mainland China or USA you will feel in a wardrobe. Anyway, the service is good, clean and the subway is just 10min walking from the hotel. No breakfast included in the price is not good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A so-so hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

I am okay with the cost althought he room is so small.They combined two single bed and made it as "double" bed. This was not so impressive.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location is good for travelers because the subway station is near and the public transportation system is very convenient. Although the room is smaller than most of the motel rooms in the US, but comparing with Paris and Tokyo I had no complaint. At least the twin beds are big enough for my wife and me. We slept very well. It is located at a quiet […] neighborhood in the noisy urban area. I will choose this hotel next time when I visit Hong Kong again. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you have no other choice in Hong Kong and desperate for a place, then this place may be the last place one wants to be. Please don't make the mistake of going to such hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room is too small and uncomfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is pleasant enough, good front-desk staff, they speak and understand English well enough to provide directions, speak conversationally, etc...I had no problems with the staff. The location is actually pretty good; it's in the Kowloon area, and everything is within 10 minutes of the hotel, walking. I thought the location was just fine. The […] problem lies in the room sizes. Oh my goodness! I actually measured my room, it was approximately 10 feet by 7-8 feet, and the bathroom was 6x3. Certainly the entire room was no more than 100 square feet, including the bathroom/shower. Everything worked, everything was clean, the bed was comfortable enough, but as a westerner, a 5'9" westerner of medium build (160 lbs), this was a sardine can! You 'd have to get out of the hotel just to breathe. In a way, I was lucky, I had come down with a bad cold on my travels, and I spent a lot of time in the room, watching Chinese newschannels (No CNN) and popping pills and drinking warm beverages, but I don't think that I'd want to stay there another night. Too small, regardless of the promo or the final price. Pay a few extra dollars, if you must, for something else. If the room was being offered at a major league discount, and I was in town for a few days, yes, I would go back. Only then. Read more

WARN YOURSELF WITH THIS MINI+COMPACT ROOMS. NOT SUITABLE FOR A BIG GROUP. HOWEVER, IT'S ON A BUDGET THAT YOU CAN SAVE SOME MONEY TO SHOP MORE. HOTEL AREA LOCATED IN MONG KOK - A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP WITH BARGAINS. 10 MINUTES WALK TO METRO/SUBWAY. MANY DOUBLE DECKS BRINGS YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTHERN CITY. HAVE AIRPORT BUS COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY. (IF […] YOU ARE NOT LOCAL OR WITH NO LOCAL, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE TAXI TO THE AIRPORT COZ THE DRIVERS ALWAYS TAKE YOU AROUND AND HK'S TAXI/CAB IS VERY EXPENSIVE. AIRPORT SHUTTLE BUS ONLY HK$40/PERSON, AIRPORT ALSO OFFER FREE SHUTTLE BUS BUT THE LOCATION IS NOT QUITE CONVENIENT). HOTEL ROOM IS VERY VERY SMALL. HOWEVER, IT'S FACILITIES ARE QUITE NEW AND VERY CLEAN. SERVICE IS QUITE GOOD TOO. Read more

The room is really really really small and so as shower. And you cannot open the window. Staffs are nice and the location is not bad but overall I don't recommend this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location was not perfect but once you get to know the area, and how to get to the metro it makes life easier. I suggest taking a cab at the beginning since it is not easy to identify all roads in this area. The room is too small, for multiple travelers, but fine for someone staying in a room on their own.

Hotel is near Prince Edward MTR station. The room is very small but value for money.The staff are friendly and helpful.

Good hotel for a layover. Free wifi. Walking distance from mtr and airport bus stop.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The entire room is quite small, just a little over 100 sq. ft. But for the price I paid, I have no problem with that staying by myself. Its actually perfect for frequent travellers like me. But if you are in Hong Kong with family doing shopping and site seeing, especially if you are not familiar with the transportation system and routing in Hong Kong, […] I would not recommend this hotel because its just not as convenient as those in TST. Overall service and room are good. The bed is very comfortable (equivalent to a 4-star hotel, I think). This hotel is new but the building was renovated from an old building in an old part of the city. Read more

It is clean, but has very small room, especially the bath room is too small, you can hardly turn when taking a shower.

Ok for overnight or short stay

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel were pretty close metro station where you can hit easily everywhere. It's in walking distance from Monkoks main shopping area and ladies market. Room was very comfort for 3 persons and room quality was also good! The price was pretty good and I recommend this hotel if you don't want to pay high price for your hotel nights!

For the price I expected a room bigger than 2.2m x 3m plus a toilet sized bathroom. It was not in a really convenient location & there was no window nor room for our bags. The staff were great - very helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It is a bad experience for me to see a hotel getting guest and doing bad service, they just make money . very poor service, it happens when there only 1 elevator broke down , they didn't inform the guest inside the trap elevator to stay calm . the trap guest have to shout and muscle to open the elevator door by himself due to panic and adrenalin rush, […] such a pity to see a guest doing that. the location is so far from the mtr station you have to walk a long 15 minutes to reach the mtr station. no food establishment around. it seems the srores besides the hotel are warehouse and metal stores. not nice at all.

Overall the hotel met our requirements for an overnight stay and was close to Prince Edward MTR. But we were asked to pay an additional HKD150 to "upgrade" to a premium room...and the room was SOOO small...I can't imagine what the original room would have looked like~

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is located very close to the local market and main roads to different districts. It is a very new hotel with freindly professional staff. The rooms are small but very clean and serviced properly. The freidge is very small and hardly can fit a drink bottle in it. other than it is a good value for money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was good. But. Seven nights is very taxing in such a small room. However, as I read reviews of other hotels, it seems that most hotel rooms in Hong Kong are like this! The room was well serviced and that was a good thing. The room has a main switch which, when you take out your room access card, all the power goes out. Yes, all power - including […] that to the fridge! Watch out for food going off because you've been out all day and the fridge has been turned off. :( Most employees whom I encountered in my 8 days don't speak much English. That was frustrating to me. As I said, overall the hotel is good. Specific details of the hotel are not always helpful or useful for the traveller. Read more

Room was a small one- double. Very clean, shower didn't wet everything in small bathroom what I expected. Location was super good for us (travelling with 11 y.o) and we could stay again there. MRT station was easy to find, only 10mins walk away.

Very noisy, poor control quality, very small room. The only advantage is cheap and location.
