Empire Hotel Hong Kong - Causeway Bay

Værelset er lille, men velindrettet og har en smart og kompakt stil. Hotellet ligger fantastisk og er meget praktisk. Det er tæt på Victoria Park, og er et godt valg til transport, spisning og byvandring. Den samlede værdi for pengene overgik forventningerne. Der er mange gamle hoteller på Hong Kong Island, men dette holder stadig en god standard og kan anbefales. Business- og udkigsloungen på øverste etage er flot designet og smagfuld, og tilbyder gratis alkohol, kaffe, sodavand mv. Fra udkigspunktet kan man overskue Causeway Bay og hele CBD-området. Værelset tilbyder engangs toiletartikler, og i stueetagen tilbydes te og kaffe, hvilket er et plus. Mange hoteller i Hong Kong tilbyder ikke engangs toiletartikler og gratis vand for at spare penge (flaskevand er meget dyrt i Hong Kong), men på dette punkt gør hotellet det godt og er relativt moderne i sin tankegang.

Jeg skriver normalt ikke anmeldelser. Jeg har boet på dette hotel utallige gange siden 2019, da jeg rejser ofte i embeds medfør. Beliggenheden er super bekvem for mig, området har alt, hvad man behøver, og det har været god værdi for pengene med en acceptabel hygiejnestandard. Men nu er der kommet flere gæster, og jeg har bemærket, at hygiejnen er blevet dårligere. I marts var der hvide insekter på tæppet, og der var et tykt lag støv i hjørnet under glasbordet. Personalet kom og gjorde rent for mig, og jeg tænkte, at det ikke var værd at klage over. Jeg skrev ingen anmeldelse og bad ikke om et andet værelse. Sidste uge var jeg her igen i embeds medfør, og jeg havde også booket et værelse til en ven. Den første aften var der en vedvarende dårlig lugt på værelset, og den separate affugter, der plejede at være på hvert værelse, var væk. Væggene var fugtige på grund af den høje luftfugtighed, hvilket forværrede lugten. Jeg vågnede om natten af stanken fra afløbet på badeværelset – jeg blev bogstaveligt talt vækket af lugten!!! Klokken fem om morgenen tilkaldte jeg igen en medarbejder, som sprøjtede desinfektionsmiddel i afløbet. Det resulterede i, at lugten på værelset blev skarp og irriterende. Ved seks-tiden var jeg så utilpas, at jeg ringede til Ctrip’s kundeservice for at annullere bookingen. Hotellet fandt et større værelse til mig efter Ctrip’s indblanding og gav mig chokolade, mineralvand og andre små gaver. Men lige siden den nat har jeg haft ondt i halsen, en stikkende smerte. Jeg har taget medicin siden da, men min hals er stadig ikke helt god. Jeg er så vred.

I stayed at this so-called 4-star hotel in Hong Kong for two nights, and honestly, the room quality was nowhere near what I would expect from a 4-star hotel. The room had a strong unpleasant smell, including the pillows. I changed rooms twice, but the smell was still there. The hotel claims to have been renovated in 2016, but the rooms looked more than 20 years old. The bathroom was especially disappointing. The shower area had semi-transparent glass, so every stain was clearly visible, and there was black buildup and mold all over the shower area. It was honestly disgusting. The housekeeping staff also constantly shared the guest elevators, causing the elevator to stop at almost every floor. On top of that, some of the staff were quite rude and showed very little consideration for guests. Another thing I found disappointing was the language service. The hotel seemed to be overwhelmingly occupied by Mainland Chinese guests, and staff would immediately speak Mandarin to me without even asking what language I preferred. It felt like they simply assumed every guest was a Mandarin speaker. Hong Kong is an international city, so I found it quite strange that there seemed to be so little consideration for guests who speak other languages. The only staff who showed even a little courtesy were the front desk employees. For a hotel advertised as 4-star, this was an extremely disappointing experience. I honestly wouldn’t give it more than 2 stars. At this price and with this level of room quality and service, I would rather stay at a guesthouse.

The location was good,takes only 5 minutes on foot from the nearest metro station. Room is enough for a single traveler to stay in.(If parties,it may be a little bit small) Cleanness has no problem. Staff is without smile,not so friendly,but I think it’s the HK style.

Great location, easy to get around. Room is reasonably good. Take A11 to go to the airport directly.

convenient location, plenty of food around and easy access to MRT. Comfortable bed and acceptable room space.

The hotel is located in the north east of Hong Kong island and would need to walk a few minutes to the nearest MTR Station. The fridge in the room was faulty upon checking in, the WiFi was weak at times and the hotel does not provide new water replenishment daily and I had to keep calling them to request for it everyday.

Very good hotel in an excellent location in Hong Kong. The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to Tin Hau MTR station, Victoria Park and Causeway Bay. There are plenty of restaurants, shops and convenience stores nearby. The waterfront is also within walking distance and is perfect for a relaxing walk along Victoria Harbour. Great location to explore Hong Kong and excellent value for money. I highly recommend this hotel!

Value for money, great location Decent breakfast. Elevator could smell better though
