Real affordable harbour view room. Requested a cot for 1.5-year old and so I got one. Was given the top floor when checked in at 11:30pm :) Staff were helpful. Clean bathroom.
The breakfasts were quite nice but I can see why people are complaining about breakfast not changing. However, I only stayed for 2 nights and it wasn't a problem for us.
The only inconvenience is traffic - at least 10 min walk to the closest underground station.
Dear petertO4424BH,
Thank you very much for leaving us a positive review.
We are happy that you enjoyed the breathtaking view of Hong Kong and the breakfast at The Harbourview. We apologize if the walking distance to the MTR station was not up to your expectations..
We will continue to keep up our sincere hospitality service and we look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.
Thank you for your support of The Harbourview.
I stayed in this hotel twice over the course of the last 12 months. The first time I stayed at this hotel was during the pandemic where Hong Kong still required quarantine (Sept 2022). That was a pleasant experience. The room was clean, modern, and new with a harbor view. I was pleasantly surprised as I booked a regular room. My check in process was quick although every time I came back to the room, I saw an ungodly long line for check in at the lobby. Because of my pleasant experiences during my first stay, I decided to book this hotel again in June 2023. My expectation was high and additionally, I paid extra for the harbor view room. My experience was night and day. The check-in took a long time, and I ended up with a room on a lower floor. This room had no resemblance of the room that I stayed at the first time in last September. This room was dated, unclean and smelled badly. If you are like me who had stayed at this hotel before, you would not believe this room is from the same hotel. I would compare it to a Hyatt quality for the first one and Motel 6 for the second one. The whole floor smelled smokey and moldy. I stayed at this room for one night and fortunately, someone at the front desk switched me to a room that’s on the higher floor. This hotel knew perfectly what my grouse was when I mentioned about my room. I was grateful because had they not moved my room, I would’ve left the hotel. It was that bad. The location of the hotel is somewhat odd. It is not on a usual busy street of Hong Kong and, if you feel like grabbing a snack from 7-eleven or a restaurant, you will have to walk for approximately 10-15 minutes. Although I was fine with it, to most people, this is “remote” by Hong Kong standard. I just left Hong Kong and I did not stay in this hotel for the reasons that I stated above. The uncertainty of what kind of room I would get gave me room for pause to stay at this hotel again.

If you need a taxi or transportation information, our Concierge will be happy to assist.
We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of The Harbourview.
Stayed here for a week in their optimum floor premier room and the room is still very small with a harbour view. Fridge is not cold and two small bottles of water supplied daily. The gym is small yet sufficient but no water dispenser at all and a few towels. Breakfast was included and there was no change in the menu for the entire week we were there so it felt mundane. About a 10 min walk to wan chai MTR station and about 15-20 mins to Causeway Bay. I felt for the price we paid they could’ve provided more water per room. Aircon is very loud as well

After the first night we noticed many blood stains on the pillow and on my boyfriends shirt. We didn’t want to believe these were bedbugs but talked to the staff and as a result they changed the sheets. The night after - again - everything on the pillow, sheets, full of blood. I then even took a bedbug from my boyfriends shoulder as it was IN THERE sucking his blood. We then informed the staff and they said: normally bedbug bites look different and gaslit us into thinking the problem was not there…. After a discussion they put us in a different room. We wanted them to clean our clothes as we had a fear of bringing the bedbugs home with us and - nothing. We discussed for one hour and I showed time OTHER HOTEL REVIEWS TALKING ABOUT A BEDBUG PROBLEM and bites and they just did not want to believe it. They had the audacity of saying there were no bedbugs!! So many time we spent discussing, changing rooms, talking to the staff - what a waste of time with a problem that is not our fault. They don’t want to take accountability. Because if they would they would have to close down the hotel for some nights to solve the bedbug problem. They need an exterminator and pest control as it is a serious and disgusting problem. So I would not recommend going to this hotel as you waste time and money. Because before we went home we naturally stopped by a cleaner and paid 150€ by ourselves to clean our clothes. A service the hotel should have gladly make and should be in their interest. This will be a big big problem in the next months as the infestation will be growing if they don’t take steps.
Dear Feli,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you encountered during your stay. We take your concerns regarding bed bugs very seriously, and we deeply regret any inconvenience caused.

Nice and tidy hotel. Really enjoyed my stay at the harbour. Being a very busy hotel were very polite and accommodating. I found Latif at the concierge a very helpful and polite chap. Other than that it was situated in a nice locality and the area was very clean tidy. Just a few minutes drive from the train station.
