This property should never be classed as a hotel. It is as stated above a hostel in a run down area of Hong Kong. The bedrooms are the smallest I have encountered anywhere , no hanging facilities for clothes, no drawers, a bed and nothing else.Please do not book this place.

The place is found within an unfamiliar place away from ll the commercial and bustling streets. It was in front of a cleaning company where a lot of garbage truck was parked and filled with trash. Though not smelly, it was not a sight to behold. The hotel has no resto and therefore does not offer any food. And the best thing to talk about regarding this hotel was their rooms. The rooms are so cramped and small that one bed was way over the wall and would require that one steps over another to get to the other end of the bed. The bath was so, so, so small like if someone is sitting on the toilet bowl, their leg would be the lock and no one could possibly mistake that no one was inside it. The bath was just a half-step and so was the sink. You could bruise yourself from moving inside the bath to turn on the shower! Never again to this hotel. But their staff was so good and could communicate in English well.…

Rooms are the smallest I’ve ever experienced in a hotel in my world travels. Around 2.5 x 2 metres. No room for suitcase or to hang cloths. The shower is so small the shower curtain clings to you like cling-wrapping. Don’t waste your money on this one.

If you thought NYC hotel rooms are small, you have no idea what "small" looks like. I booked this hotel via Hotwire, using their M.O, where I chose a location (in broad terms) and a standard of hotel. Having booked rooms this way with Hotwire successfully previously, I did not expect to be incredibly disappointed. And boy oh boy, was I! What's good about the Lander? The good: 1) By HKG standards the room is cheap, about USD 75; 2) Location. If you know where you're going and you have no baggage, it's a 10 min walk to Prince Edward MTR (subway station) and from there, most places in Kowloon or Hong Kong Island are within easy reach. But if you have a suitcase or you're new to the area, you're not going to take the train from the airport only to swap to the subway (Line 1) to Prince Edward, because you'll still have a 15 min walk with luggage. Instead I took the airport train to Kowloon Station (HKD 105) and a cab from there to the hotel (HKD 50); 3) Staff member Ralf speaks good English and is very pleasant; 4) Bathroom was mostly clean. Parts of the shower recess were grubby; and 5) A/C is great. The bad: 1. The accommodation is truthfully the size of a prison cell. It is not a "room" in any meaningful sense of the word. My "room", 609, was a few cm longer than the single bed and the room's width was 1.5 (one and a half) times as wide as the bed. I travel with a tape measure but could not access it to measure the room because I could barely open my suitcase when it was placed on the floor, let alone search my suitcase for the tape; 2. Bathroom is so small that (a) you'll have the shower curtain hitting your skin as you shower; (b) you'll wet the toilet as you shower and (c) if you want a long shower, you must stop the water pretty soon after you turn the water on, soap yourself and then turn the water back on to rinse yourself or you'll end up flooding the room; 3. In room safe was locked and not accessable; 4. I am usually ok with confined spaces, but felt claustrophobic in the room. Many I know would have a panic attack in such a confined space. In fact I was there one night only and that was enough. I took my suitcase down to the lobby an hour before checking out, so I could have space to work on my Mac in the room. The relief I felt when my suitcase was removed from the room and I finally had even minimal space to myself was palpable; 5. Many local restaurants have menus in Mandarin or Cantonese and not in English; 6. Noise travels through the door and walls. I flew in from Sydney and was up for 18 hours before checking in. I went to bed only to be awaken many, many times by Chinese shouting at each other in the corridor, oblivious to how others were being disturbed by their shouting; 7. There are several TV channels all, as far as I can see in Mandarin or Cantonese. Nothing in English apart from financial and economic statistics (no audio just the statistics) on Pearl TV; and 8. Breakfast is not served in the hotel, but I did find a cafe called Cafe de Coral near Prince Edward Station. Just exit the hotel, turn left into Tai Nan St and walk towards Prince Edward Road West. At Prince Edward Road West turn left and walk to the next cross street, Portland Street. Turn left into Portland. The cafe is on the right. Usually with a queue of folk lining up to get in. It's no more than a 8-10 min walk from the hotel. 15 mins if like me you are not in a rush. There you'll find set dishes eg fish, toast, eggs and coffee for HKD 40. The upside is that the coffee is good! 9. The hotel seems to cater to Mainland Chinese and not westerners. Even though it was cheap, the tiny cell at the Lander was too frustrating for me. Even for one night. Next time, which is in 2 weeks, I will stay in a decent size room that is close to the subway or bus lines, safe in the knowledge it will cost double as much. So be it. Tip: Choose you room wisely. While mine in the rear of the hotel had NO street noise, which is a worry of some reviewers, my cell was adjacent to the lift/elevator and it was very hard to get to sleep. …

We do understand that space is a constraint in a place like Hong Kong but for what is charged, we were extremely disappointed with the hotel. The rooms are extremely small and even smaller are the bathrooms. You stretch in the room and chances are you will be smacking your partner's face. There is very limited space for the luggage in the room too. Except for the main lobby, the other common areas are smelly. The only two positives of the hotel are the staff who are very friendly and the location. It is very conveniently located.

The Lander hotel is in what might be called the back streets, not far from Nathan Road and Prince Edward MTR ( tube, underground, Metro, subway). Bear in mind that there is only one lift from ground level at Prince Edward station. Carting suitcases up and down busy stairs and escalators is no fun and frowned upon. The area around the hotel is less than pretty but has the authentic feel of "real" Hong Kong, with many small businesses operating from lockups and bustling street corner markets are just a short walk north, close to the very "local" Dragon Centre, with its fast food outlets, supermarket and many of the usual mall type shops. The famous flower market is only a 10 to 15-minute walk from the hotel. Mongkok is one MTR stop south, with the very modern, jaw-dropping, upmarket Langham Place shopping mall right outside the station. Let's not beat around the bush. The hotel rooms are small. I was in a really tiny single room with ensuite shower and loo. Being medium build, I just about managed to fit in the shower without having the plastic shower curtain clinging to me. Bear in mind that the Chinese are petite on the whole and space is very much at a premium in this densely populated city. Larger travellers would be advised to book a more expensive hotel, with concomitant larger rooms.There is very little space for luggage. That said, the staff I encountered were very helpful and polite. I had an issue with the room safe which they quickly attended to. The room was in good order and cleaned every day with clean towels and bed linen provided daily if needed. The free wifi worked well for me, though other reviewers have had issues with it. Considering the slightly down at heel appearance of the area, I felt safe even when returning late in the evening. Be prepared for dense crowds; however, the Cantonese are very relaxed and going with the flow made negotiating the MTR and main streets a lot less uncomfortable. I was there just before Chinese New Year. It was frenetic as preparations were made for the festivities. I loved the vibe. Your mileage may vary.…

Spent 10 days here for a quick family holiday. Booked a king sized bed room and 3 single beds in another. All staff there were extremely friendly. The hotel was considerably clean except carpets were a bit old and musty. I was expecting small rooms from previous reviews but oh my goodness, you need to see to believe how small it actually is! The only floor space they had was slightly bigger than the size of my large suitcase - if it’s open there will be no walking space. The bathroom only fits one person at a time and the shower was so small that the curtain stuck to your body as you’re trying to clean yourself. And also, non-existent gym with 3 machines and no weights.. Great hotel if you’re looking for an affordable hotel and about 15mins walking distance to central Mong Kok - but if you’re a claustrophobic then steer clear, even if you’re not one to start off with, you’ll become one after your trip.…

Location: The room is very quiet for a peaceful sleep. It is not so far from the Prince Edwards metro station. Bit inconvenient if you have heavy suitcases. With a carry-on you will get there walking - 10-15 minutes. Cleanliness: Room is clean and fresh towels and toiletries refurnished every day Staff: Very helpful. This time around I didn't have a booking and I just walked in Room size: It is small and for two people it is quite restrictive. But remember, this is Hong Kong - the densest place on earth. This is the second time I have been staying. And I would come again.
