Before I start, just to let you know we are a family of four with two very young kids. So families might find my review more useful.
Pros: 1. Superb location, 3 mins away from TST MTR station, A1 exit, with an elevator. And even better than that, the same elevator also takes you to Kowloon Park. When my kids got bored I could take them watching flamingos or to the playground inside.
2. Since this is really a guesthouse, the room was well cleaned everyday. And the sheets were changed almost everyday thanks to my two little monkeys.
The housekeeping lady is super nice and thoughtful. If anything you could ask her and she would try to help.
3. Great hot shower and clean bathroom.
4. There are some good restaurants just downstairs. You will see them as you get out of the building.
Cons:
1. My stay happened in mid January, so HK was cold. The room was even colder though... and wet... don’t expect to dry anything in that room. We all caught a cold during that trip. I think it was largely due to the room temperature and humidity. I have not got sick for two years due to the immunity protection pregnancy and breastfeeding had given me. But this time I got hit hard. And my girls became feverish during the trip as well.
2. There are a staircase of 5 or 6 steps leading up to the elevator. So if you are too coming with a stroller, bring an umbrella one. You have to count in the weight of the shipping bags you are probably going to get as well.
3. I stayed for 7 nights and internet only worked well for 2 or 3. The housekeeping lady did leave me a note with a new wifi network but it didn’t work as well. So I was mainly using my data. But I have to say I didn’t contact the landlord to solve the problem either. So it could have been very well solved.
All in all, we still managed to enjoy our trip regardless of the flu. This place has a good price compared to other Airbnb listings. I would for sure recommend visitors with no kids to stay here. But as a family with young children, I think it’s worth it to invest some more on a warmer place if visiting HK in winter time.
