"⌚️Check-in time: 11:30 AM (Official check-in is 3:00 PM, but since it was off-peak season, we were able to check in early, which was very accommodating). 💰Deposit: None charged. · 🌟Pros👍 1️⃣Excellent location. It's only three stops from Austin (we arrived at West Kowloon by high-speed rail). The hotel is close to the MTR station, and there's a shopping mall downstairs. You can even access two or three other malls via connected pedestrian bridges – truly a 'city of bridges'. There's also a park downstairs with children's play facilities. Several markets are nearby, offering great value, especially for fruit. 2️⃣Spacious rooms. The twin room had two 1.5-meter large beds (this was the most important reason we chose this hotel). It's family-friendly with a bathtub (bring your own disposable tub liner, and the kids can enjoy a bath!). 3️⃣The hotel also has an outdoor pool and offers free luggage storage. · ❌Cons🙅🏻♀️ 1️⃣We stayed in the low-rise building this time. The showerhead in the bathroom was fixed to the wall (as shown in picture 7), so children had to bathe in the tub. 2️⃣We requested children's amenities like a bed rail when booking, but upon check-in, there were no child-specific items, not even extra disposable slippers (only two pairs were provided). 3️⃣The room facilities are a bit dated, and the cleanliness wasn't exceptional. ⚠️Heads-up‼️ 1️⃣The hotel does not provide bottled water. You'll need to purchase it or bring your own bottle to fill up at the free water dispensers. 2️⃣No universal adapters are provided. You'll need to bring your own or buy one. 3️⃣The hairdryer's plug isn't compatible with the bathroom outlets; it can only be used with other sockets in the room. Overall, for Hong Kong, a place where space is at a premium, it offers good value for money. I might try a room in the high-rise building next time I visit Hong Kong."

"Regal Riverside Hotel is located in Sha Tin, New Territories, with abundant public transportation options. You can get directly to Tsim Sha Tsui without transfers, and there are many minibuses that take you to Sha Tin and Tai Wai MTR stations within ten minutes, which is incredibly convenient. The hotel is surrounded by a vibrant local area with many dining options. Wellcome and Mannings supermarkets are just a five-minute walk away. The hotel's hygiene is good, and the cleaning staff provide excellent service, which is commendable. If you can get a room facing the river, you'll be able to enjoy the night view of Sha Tin city, and the riverside promenade is perfect for a leisurely evening stroll. The hotel's breakfast is a bit monotonous, with insufficient Chinese food options. I hope this can be improved. If you have enough time for breakfast, there are various restaurants just a three-minute walk from the hotel that can cater to your breakfast, lunch, and dinner needs."

"The room was spacious, new, and very modern. The service was highly professional, especially the cleaning staff who could cure anyone's OCD! The location is excellent, just a short walk from Zijing Cultural Square and the Convention and Exhibition Center. Public transport is convenient, and it's super easy to find places to eat and shop. There's a mall downstairs and Xiamen Street right across the road, surrounded by all sorts of restaurants, from various price points to different cuisines, both Chinese and Western. It's perfect not only for business trips but also great for family vacations!"

"Hotels in Hong Kong are always very expensive in October due to the exhibition season, so every year I come to Hong Kong this month, I stay in Tsuen Wan for maximum cost-effectiveness. The Dorsett brand is quite good; I've stayed at two other locations, and they were all clean and tidy, with friendly staff. I'll definitely be back around this time next year."

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, making travel convenient. It offers sea views, which are particularly stunning with the lights at night. There are plenty of local eateries nearby, providing a wide array of choices. Outside the hotel, there's a boardwalk where many locals jog in the mornings, and in the evenings, tourists can be found enjoying drinks in the restaurant garden. The rooms are clean, tidy, and reasonably spacious, with comfortable bedding. The lobby is luxuriously decorated and often hosts wedding events. The breakfast buffet, however, is just average with limited options. Marco provided excellent service! Recommended."

"Stayed at this hotel during the National Day holiday, specifically for the pool, but it was closed. I don't understand why they didn't fix it beforehand. The room had a view of Kai Tak Sports Park. Without any events happening, the hotel felt a bit underwhelming. Although they gave us Michelin meal vouchers, the value for money wasn't great. Other than Kai Tak Sports Park, the area around the hotel is pretty desolate."

"Good Review: Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong (a Shangri-La Hotel) – A Double Delight of Luxurious Sea-View Accommodation and Delicious ”Omelette”! My stay at Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong (a Shangri-La Hotel) was filled with highlights, from the accommodation to the dining! Hong Kong is a city where every inch of land is precious, so being able to stay in such a spacious sea-view room for around 2500 HKD offered far better value for money than expected, clearly outshining accommodations at a similar price point in Shanghai. The hotel, part of the Shangri-La Group, maintained its consistently excellent quality. While enjoying breakfast at the restaurant, I had to communicate with the staff using broken English and Cantonese, as they weren't very familiar with Mandarin, but this didn't detract from the delicious food at all. A special mention goes to the ”Omelette” – a Western breakfast specialty in Hong Kong, made by pan-frying beaten eggs with various ingredients. The omelette we ordered was incredibly smooth and rich in egg flavor. Even though it took two or three attempts to get the order right, it was so delicious that it left a lasting impression, proving popular even among foreign guests. Strategically located in Hung Hom Bay, the hotel boasts convenient transportation and breathtaking sea views. Whether it was the comfortable accommodation, the exquisite dining, or the attentive service, everything contributed to making this trip to Hong Kong exceptionally fulfilling. It's truly a high-quality choice that I wholeheartedly recommend!"

"I used to stay in this property when it was Cosmopolitan Hotel. It was much high grade, and better service, better amenities, better service before. Now Dorsett; the decoration is out of date, not very clean, much low grade, and low service. Apart from the location, i wouldn’t stay in this property again. They don’t even provide free bottles water, but they put a re-usable bottle, and you need to fill it from public dispenser. Quite dirty to use the bottle other people used, and it is questionable of the public dispenser hygiene. Also there are stains all over the bed sheets. We left the room with the “clean the room” sign on, when we turn back at night, room not cleaned."

"Pros and cons: Pros: · The room itself was lovely and offered a great view. · A special thank you to the housekeeping staff member from Mainland China on November 5, 2025. She was an absolute angel—always smiling, highly attentive, and even asked if there was anything she could do better. Her attitude was, without a doubt, the best I have encountered across thousands of hotel stays worldwide. · At check-out, Front Desk Staff Dordon (not sure of the spelling; he is from Canada and was wearing a navy blue uniform) provided excellent service with a professional and friendly attitude. Cons: · At check-in, I specifically requested a room above the swimming pool, as that was the primary reason I booked this hotel after seeing the pictures online. However, the front desk staff member, Jimmy, assigned me a room in the East Tower, near the Ocean Park rollercoaster. Upon entering, I immediately realized it was not what I had asked for and called to request a change. Jimmy said he would check for availability, so I went down to the lobby to wait. After a 30-minute wait, I was finally reassigned to a room in the West Tower above the swimming pool—which was my original request. It's worth noting that all swimming pool view rooms are in the West Tower, not the East Tower. · Unfortunately, my new room was one of the noisiest. There were two staff access doors directly opposite my room, one of which was for loading laundry, resulting in constant, loud door slamming. Furthermore, a drinking water station was situated very close by (the hotel does not provide bottled water), which created a continuous flow noise that was highly disruptive and unpleasant. · I was too exhausted to request another room change at that point, unsure of how long it would take, and I had commitments to attend to afterward. · Another issue occurred before check-out. On November 6 at around 11:30 AM, I called the front desk to inquire about the latest check-out time, mentioning that my flight was in the evening. A male staff member (with a Hong Kong accent, and not Jimmy or Dordon) replied abruptly, ”If you want to stay until evening, you need to pay an extra fee!!” I was taken aback by his assumption that I was trying to exploit the hotel's policy. It is common practice for hotels to offer at least a one-hour grace period. · I tried to ease the tension with a light laugh, which he mirrored. I repeated my question, clarifying that I was simply asking for the latest check-out time, to which he finally replied, ”12:30！” · This experience taught me that explaining the reason for a request can sometimes be counterproductive with certain staff, who may lack empathy and automatically assume guests are seeking special treatment. Suggestions: It appears that some of the male front desk staff in grey uniforms could benefit from additional customer service training. Working in hospitality requires a genuine desire to serve people. If one inherently dislikes interacting with guests, it may be time to reconsider their career path. While not all local Hong Kong staff are impolite, certain ingrained perceptions about service attitudes do occasionally surface."

"The room was a bit small, with a very narrow passage between the bed and the wall, so two people would definitely have to take turns moving around 😂. I stayed for a month, and the cleaning staff's service was excellent and very friendly. The front desk staff's service was also decent; I lost my deposit slip during check-out, but after verifying my identity, they processed the refund without any fuss. It's quite far from the subway station, which is a bit inconvenient. Getting around mainly relied on buses or taxis. There's a McDonald's, 7-Eleven, fruit store, and pastry shop nearby. If you walk for 10-15 minutes, there's a food court-like area."
