A nice, clean hotel in a convenient location

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Jun 2024
A nice, clean hotel in a convenient location with friendly staff. Housekeeping staff are very helpful. A41 bus from the airport stops outside the hotel costs under HK$24 – cheap and convenient. Buses, minibuses and MTR are all within a few minutes walk from the hotel and there is a free shuttle bus to Shek Mun MTR and New Town Plaza.

My adult children used the pool quite often to either get a good start to the day or to unwind after sight-seeing. Free bike rental was a bonus – we spent a morning riding around some of Shatin's traffic-separated cycle paths. The hotel's drinking water dispensers were great to fill up water bottles before heading out for a day's exploration. Food at nearby Shek Mun and City One gave plenty of choices, including traditional Chinese food, bakeries and vegan dishes. The 7-11 convenience store at the hotel entrance was a big plus.

The only negative point – we stayed for 2 weeks, but it was a bit unclear what the policy for changing bedding, towels and emptying rubbish was.

Our party was 5 people in 3 rooms and we all enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel.
Date of stay: May 2024
Room Tip: The shuttle leaves dead on the scheduled time - get there early

The spacious room, the tranquil area. There is a bicycle park in front of the hotel; we rode bikes every few mornings. Things that we didn't get to do much back home Friendly concierge, good location with different transport links, tablet controlled settings for the room, good sized pool (would have liked it to be heated!)

Overall our room was clean and comfy (bed is not really big though), good soundproofing. The service was good, we asked for a few extra things and got them right away. No weird smells in the hallways or room, which is important for us. Good air conditioning. Good quality of breakfast

This was our first stay in the ALVA Hotel although we were very familiar with this area of Hong Kong. The hotel well exceeded our expectations. We stayed for more than two weeks during the Christmas and New Year holidays and whilst the hotel was always busy the service provided by the ALVA hotel team was really very good. The food in the hotel was high quality and great value. Our room was comfortable and warm during the cooler weather of December and the lady who serviced the room kept it clean and well provisioned. We will definitely return to the ALVA hotel for our next visit to Hong Kong.

Hotel far from airport but there is a direct bus (A441) to just outside the hotel. Cost about HKD 23.5 per person.
Service was very good. Staff was most helpful in giving directions and tip on where to go if you needed a specific item. Cannot remember the room attendants name but she really was very polite and took care of our requests. She attended the 21st floor and looked after our room 2127. Very much appreciated her efforts.
Breakfast was well spread with Korean, Chinese and Western type cuisines.
Did not try the other outlets as there was a free shuttle bus service from hotel to Shek Mun MTR station and around the e area loads of small shops catering noodles and rice and deserts. Most outlets open a around 1130am and shut at around 9.30pm.
Overall a very pleasant stay because it was away from Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan, Mongkok the touristy area.
