EAST Hong Kong

The location is superb, right next to the subway station, making it convenient to go anywhere. The standard rooms are also quite spacious with great views. The 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows often offer glimpses of birds soaring in the sky and distant mountains. In the afternoon, the sunlight fills the room, which is beautiful. The staff's service attitude is also excellent; cleaning is timely, and supplies are replenished sufficiently. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience.

Pros: The front desk staff were very nice; they allowed me an early check-in and upgraded my room. They were friendly, and the room had a fridge, microwave, toiletries, and slippers. The hotel has a great design, and there's a bar on the top floor with excellent views. Cons: Both windows in the room faced residential buildings, making the large corner window feel awkward and like I was being watched. I had to keep the curtains drawn and the lights on. The room was also very damp and cold, though I'm not sure if that was due to the weather. There were also some inconvenient design choices, such as the faucet being too short, causing water to splash onto the counter and then the floor. The bathroom door opened in a way that disrupted the flow, and the light switches were confusing and inconvenient to use.

This is by far the most convenient hotel in Tai Koo Shing. It's right by Exit D of the MTR, and the rooms are very comfortable, complete with a water purifier, fridge, and microwave. The service is also excellent. Whenever I come to Tai Koo, I always choose this hotel without hesitation. You can walk to Quarry Bay Park in Tai Koo Shing in about 5-8 minutes, where you can see Kowloon across the water – perfect for a relaxing stroll.

I'm not sure why I didn't take any photos of the hotel, but its location is super convenient, right next to the subway entrance. There's a large shopping mall downstairs with a ton of outdoor brands on the B1 level – Patagonia even had better discounts than their official stores! There's also a cinema. The service was excellent!

Always choose EAST, and always will. The best quality is how quiet it is; the cleanliness and the breakfast on the first floor bring a sense of comfort and convenience to my business trips.

This time, the sea-view room didn't feel as comfortable as the twin room I had last time. The TV is right on the side of the bed, which is really awkward to watch. I bumped into the sharp corner of the bedside table right after checking in and my leg hurt for days. What's the point of this mysterious, dark, dagger-like design? Of course, everything else was as good as always, and I'll still choose this hotel for my next trip.

A returning guest here, always happy to leave a good review! The value for money and service are consistently excellent. This time, I finally found the lobby restroom, haha – it's in the same spot as the EAST hotel in Beijing.

The weather wasn't great on the day we checked in, which unfortunately impacted the views, but luckily it cleared up on our last day and the sea view was stunning. Choosing a sea-view room was definitely the right decision. The hotel room was very spacious, feeling even larger than the advertised 28 square meters. With a large floor-to-ceiling window, you could enjoy the scenery right from your bed. While the decor isn't outdated, I'm not a fan of bathrooms with extensive glass walls these days; it feels a bit less private. The location is super convenient; the hotel's side entrance is right outside Exit D1 of Taikoo MTR station. Although the lobby is on the first floor, it's quite comfortable. It's really easy to get to Central, Sheung Wan, and Causeway Bay on the Island Line. We also visited Dragon's Back, Cape D'Aguilar, and Shek O; it's only two stops to Shau Kei Wan to catch the bus, which was incredibly convenient. Plus, the A12 bus to the airport is nearby, quick and easy, costing only 47 HKD.
