Dorsett Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong

Room is large and clean enough. Quiet. Water station at every level. 10 minutes walk to metro station and a community centre. A bargain compared to how expensive downtown hotels are, and it actually doesn't take that long to get around by metro.

My stay was a little unique as I was working at a school nearby for a month, so location and price was perfect for me. Everyone I encountered aside from one receptionist who looked like he hadn’t slept in a week was courteous and professional. The room wasn’t massive but it had a good shower and cleaning staff were very good about cleaning room soon after I clicked make-up room button. The bed was a bit hard and the room a little dark so not sure I would stay again for a long period for that reason, but for short term stay I think it’s fine. The main reason you shouldn’t stay here is that if you are planning on using Mtr to get around it’s an 8-minute walk along a freeway and they’re doing construction along the footpath circa early April 2025 so now it’s narrow and noisy. Saying that, the shuttle bus to kwuntong is an alternative but the one time I took it, it felt like forever getting to the mall as there are so many stoplights along the way. You can get a taxi easily enough too. Finally, room service was okay, a bit overpriced but delivered to your door. Not a lot of options super close but if you don’t mind walking ten minutes there are places you can go. There is a 7-11 downstairs too thankfully.

breakfast has limited supply of both Chinese variety and western variety of food. Room was spacious for the price of the daily rate charged. Location of the hotel is situated in the middle of the offices/service factories. Its location is like marmite - I like it as the area has a bland of old hong kong with little local food shops/restaurants and relatively quiet. Some people may feel the hotel is too remote from the urban area as the nearest MTR station is upto 10 minutes walk along the Castle Peak road with fast traffic and pollution. The lunch at the hotel restaurant on the deparure was particularly enjoyable as the restaurant had a special offer of HKD98 each for an unlimited dimsum order.

The room, although compact, was particularly bright and comfortable. The large shower, a delight. The shuttle bus service directly to an MTR station and shopping mall was of great convenience. Ms. Cherry, the restaurant supervisor, demonstrated excellent customer service skills in English during our stay, which was most helpful.

Value for money is good, and it’s relatively quiet compared to other hotels. There’s a nice Cha Chaan Teng near there, so we could walk there within five minutes. Staff are friendly and responsive. MTR is not far.
