Rather dated but conveniently located hotel (7-11 just beside 1m walk). It has all the basics, but don’t expect any and all amenities/dailies. The ports are HK, not international and limited + sparsely located. Phone doesn’t really work, TV old and no projection capabilities — bring a HDMI cable for extended monitor. Gym ain’t 24/7. Pro I’d say is that because it’s quite dated, the elevators and entrance don’t need a fob or keycar. Living with friends in different rooms + floors and inviting others/ ordering takeout is convenient as they can ring your room bell.

The location is great, with the MTR station entrance right downstairs, making it very convenient to get around. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, making dining easy. However, The Kowloon Hotel is a bit dated and the facilities are rather old. All the power outlets in the room are of the British type, and no adapter was provided. The room size is small, and the bathroom is quite cramped. Service attitude was just average.

The room was very clean, and the air conditioner and dehumidifier had been turned on in advance.

I stayed at this hotel again because of a concert at the nearby Kai Tak. I saw the same gentleman at the front desk as before, and he was very welcoming~

I arrived early this time. After the receptionist took my details, she saw a room was ready and let me check in at 12:30. I was so happy to be able to take a nap.

P.S. There is a 7-Eleven nearby where you can buy water and breakfast. There's an authentic Cantonese restaurant just to the right as you exit, open until 10 PM.

An excellent, impressive hotel – it immediately gives off the vibe of a large, full-fledged hotel, and the name Plaza really suits it. Inside, it smells very pleasant; even approaching the hotel, you can detect a nice, subtle, sweet jasmine scent.

The hotel is easy to find: there are signs from the metro, and once you exit onto the street, its building is immediately visible – it's large and stands out.

Check-in was very quick: several staff members were working at the large reception desk. We were given a room with two twin beds and a private terrace-balcony (a nice bonus). Each of us received a separate key card – for me, this is a prime indicator of guest care. The cost of our stay turned out to be quite low considering the number of nights we booked.

Check-out was also very quick, but the 11:00 AM check-out time is not very convenient.

The hotel is very quiet. The corridors are long, but you rarely encounter anyone there. The room was also very quiet. Housekeeping is done daily, and the Wi-Fi works well. There's a pool, but from what I understood, it closes quite early (I don't remember exactly, around 7-8 PM), so I didn't get a chance to use it.

The room made a very good impression. It's large, clean, and comfortable. Two comfortable beds, nice bedding, a small table, a full set of towels, slippers, a safe, a refrigerator, tea, coffee, and sugar. The room also has a hairdryer, TV, air conditioning, thick blackout curtains, and tissues.

I especially liked the toiletries in the bathroom: the shower gel has a very pleasant scent, and there's also shampoo and hand cream. The plumbing is in good condition – and yes, that's important, because issues with plumbing are quite common in hotels.

As for the downsides – there are no power outlets near the bed. USB ports were available on the desk, but they charge quite slowly, so it's best to bring an adapter. Perhaps adapters can be obtained at reception, but I didn't ask.

Like many hotels in Hong Kong, the room does not provide disposable amenities or bottled water – the hotel adheres to an eco-friendly approach.

The location is generally convenient. The hotel is not far from the waterfront, although it's not immediately obvious how to get there the first time. You need to head towards the stadium (Coliseum), and then through pedestrian overpasses: to the left – to the waterfront, and straight through the first overpass above the bus stop – towards the city. The metro is next to the hotel, and it's just one stop from West Kowloon Station – very quick. There's also a bus stop nearby with routes towards Wan Chai and Central via the underwater tunnel.

The hotel itself is actually connected to a small, modest shopping center. There's a good grocery store there and several cafes/restaurants. McDonald's is located within the metro station building.

Someone mentioned money exchange shops in the mall in a review – I couldn't find any. If you need to exchange money, you can find an ATM in the underpass behind the metro station building, opposite the passage to the university, but the exchange rate there isn't the best. It's better to use the exchange shops south of Tsim Sha Tsui station, on Nathan Road – there's a whole floor dedicated to them. It's about a 12-15 minute walk from the hotel or one metro stop.

Overall, I felt really comfortable here. A spacious and clean room, quietness, everything I needed at hand, and a convenient location. My impressions of the hotel were very positive.

Great value for money hotel with a spacious feel. Highlights include the magnificent lobby and rooms that can accommodate three guests. The location is excellent, very close to Fortress Hill MTR station. Right outside the station, you'll find the Ding Ding tram stop. Heading east, places like North Point, Tai Koo, and Shau Kei Wan are well worth exploring, while heading west takes you to the famous hotspots on Hong Kong Island. If you venture into the residential area right below the hotel, you'll find Peninsula Ice Cafe, ParknShop, Mannings, 7-Eleven, Yun Yan, Tai Hing, ********* cuisine, and pizza, with a McDonald's right at the MTR exit. So if you're tired after a full day of exploring and need to find food near the hotel, you'll easily be sorted. After dinner, you can take a stroll and walk just a few steps past the hotel towards the waterfront to reach the East Coast Park Precinct, where you can enjoy night views of Victoria Harbour from different angles and feel the sea breeze.

The room comfortably fits three people, and the space is quite decent. The single beds (just over 1 meter wide) are not narrow, and the sofa bed is 0.9 meters wide. I tested it—the mattress on the sofa bed is very similar in firmness to the main mattress, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bathroom is fully equipped with hand soap, body wash, shampoo, large, medium, and small towels, disposable slippers, tea bags, instant coffee, and a kettle. Bottled water is not provided, and you'll need a plug adapter. There are two large corner windows; it would be even more stunning if you booked a sea view room, but the city view is also lovely, offering an open and unconfined outside view. The hotel restaurant offers a buy-two-get-one-free buffet on weekdays and a semi-buffet on Sundays. The front desk and lobby staff are also very nice and attentive. Highly recommended!

Excellent Transportation Hub: The hotel is just a 2-minute walk from Quarry Bay MTR Station Exit C. Additionally, there are tram stops and multiple bus lines right outside the hotel, making it incredibly convenient to reach central business districts like Causeway Bay and Central within approximately 10 minutes. 

Spacious Rooms with Sea Views: The rooms are generously sized with very comfortable beds. Being able to directly enjoy the Victoria Harbour sea view was an excellent experience. 

Convenient Local Amenities: It's only about 100 meters from the ”East Coast Park Precinct,” making it perfect for an evening stroll. The surrounding area is well-developed with numerous restaurants and supermarkets, offering a very mature living environment.

The room was very spacious, clean, and tidy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I felt a very warm welcome from the check-in staff. The entire lobby was bright and comfortable. Whenever I had a request, the staff were very approachable and friendly. Plus, the value for money is excellent. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

The hotel was quite good overall. We brought our kids to play nearby, and seeing that we had children with us, the front desk proactively offered us rocking horse vouchers. Since we had a lot of luggage while traveling, they also kindly helped us with it. The overall service was really excellent.
