Location is all it has going for it

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Feb 2023
No secure wifi..no password needed for first 8 days of the stay but at least we could use Netflix on the tv....then oddly on the 9th day, you now need a password to use wifi (good!) but now no longer can use Netflix and so you get 2 English speaking channels, both crappy news channels...Customer service isnt great, bathrooms are TINY, beds are hard. Only positives are you can walk across the bridge to areas with good food and bars because you DO NOT want to stay in the room for long.
Date of stay: February 2023
Room Tip: Somewhere else

Dear Bryan F,

Thank you for spending your time to share with us your experience here.

We are happy that you enjoyed our convenient location in the heart of Wan Chai, with a wide choice of shopping and dining options around the corner.

At the same time, since we are resetting the WiFi gateway server and the log-in page was not available temporarily during your stay period. Regret that SmartTV and Netflix are not available at The Harbourview. You may wish to enjoy Netflix with your smart tablets and we offer a wide selection of TV channels and hope you can enjoy it.

Thank you for your understanding and support of The Harbourview.

Dear Suzzie F,

Thank you for your feedback. We feel sorry that our service was not up to your expectation.

I have just completed an extended stay of almost three months in a very comfortable apartment with great views not only over the harbour but also over the park.
I was made to feel at home from the first minute I arrived, the staff are impeccably polite, helpful and friendly. My apartment was well equipped and looked after by Bo who kept the place immaculate at all times.
If you are looking for a long term stay in Kowloon then the HarbourView Place offers comfort and convenience with shops and Kowloon MRT a minute away within the same building.
The rooftop pool was a great place to be and when it was out of service for maintenance then I was given full access to the pool in the Ritz-Carlton, superb. My wife used the gym on a daily basis and found it to be well equipped with high-end equipment.
All in all I had an excellent stay and any future extended stays will certainly be here.

Dear xmroots,

Thank you for sharing your stay experience with us. However, the review you shared might not be related to The Harbourview and swimming pool is not available at our premises.

We look forward to welcoming you at The Harbourview on Hong Kong Island in the near future.

Had two nights here and the room was a good size, clean and quiet. The room rate was good.
Cons:
* location is odd, quite a walk to Wan Chai MTR and restaurants. I asked the Concierge to get a taxi for me quite early in the morning and he stood outside for 10 minutes before I gave up and called an Uber. Absolutely no passing traffic.
* although the website says "guestrooms are mostly back-dropped by Victoria Harbour and Kowloon Peninsula", when I was checking in I was told it's about 50/50 harbourview / city view". When I pointed to their own website, they gave me a harbourview room but I had to insist

Would I stay again? Not sure; the room rate may persuade me.

Room tip: insist on a harbour view room

Dear Adam J,

Thank you very much for sharing with us your review.

We are glad that you enjoyed our guestroom and is satisfied with our room rate. We are also pleased to know that you may be staying with us again. We recommend you to book our Harbour View Room and enjoy a breathtaking view of Hong Kong skyline during your next stay with us.

The Harbourview is located in a quiet spot of the bustling Wan Chai district. Local bistros and outlets are just 5 minutes of walk after crossing the pedestrian bridge behind us. We are 10 minute-walk from MTR Wan Chai Station and Exhibition Centre Station. It usually takes a longer time for getting a taxi during unusual hours or changing of shift and our Concierge will be happy to assist.

We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.

Thank you for your support of The Harbourview.

Simply appalling. They make up the rooms once A WEEK. Avoid at all costs. So, you have to make the bed yourself. The sheets aren’t laundered. The towels aren’t changed. The bins aren’t emptied. Is this a hotel or a bad BnB? I have literally never experienced such a thing.

Room tip: They don’t make the beds or attempt to service clients at all. Made me wait hours after a long flight before checking in moreover. Awful

The hotel in Wan Chai is just a stone's throw from the HONG KONG CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTRE (HKCEC). Good restaurants are also in short walking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Concierge arranged it that I have a Taxi at 5 am to go to the airport. I will be certainly back when I need to attend a convention or exhibition at the HKCEC !
