Hotels Near Guns Pit in Hong Kong

The first night, we were unable to sleep well because the air con was far too noisy but many thanks to the hotel , we were given another room which was bigger and spacious. That was truly a surprise and a treat ! To me, it was like a birthday present from the hotel (21 Dec). For the rest of the stay, our sleep was restful and pleasant . The rooms are clean (we have booked 2 rooms, the other room was occupied by my sons) and the toiletries are complete and smell nice. Towels are thick and clean. A surprise came to one of my sons . His birthday is 19 Dec and the hotel has given him a cake which was personally baked by the hotel chef (which I learnt from the staff; I had initially thought was bought from the bakery outside ). The cake was so tasty and delicious . Thanks to the chef ! Thanks to the hotel ! On the day of check-in, the receptionist had wished him happy birthday, but never in our mind he would be given a cake . A special thanks to Xavier who was cheerful and helpful towards us in assisting us with calling the cab on two separate occasions, giving directions for the drivers to come to the hotel. We are not conversant with Cantonese and he is definitely a great help. Also after drinking the coffee, he happily offered to throw away our empty cups. I felt that it was not his job (as anyone should throw his own trash), but he insisted and did it willingly and cheerfully . He made our stay really pleasant . Thanks, Xavier! More to add, the gym and pool table are plus points, suit the needs of my husband and sons . On a separate note, the blind on the leftmost glass window (next to bed) does not roll down properly . I had to manually roll it down , sorry for unhooking some of the hooks of the day curtain. Blessed Christmas to the management and staff of the Ovolo southside! :)

Amazing place! Already entering the reception, you can smell the fresh recent renovation, the aroma of the diffuser. Our room 2007 was on the 20th floor and exceeded all expectations. The room has everything you need and even more - a comfortable bed with an automatic lifting mechanism, a sofa, a TV, air conditioning, a mini-kitchen (with dishes and cutlery, a kettle, a jug for water), a dining area with 4 chairs, a shoe rack, lots of storage space, an ironing board with an iron, electric blinds, USB sockets. Very thoughtful lighting. Every day cleaning is provided, a couple of times towels were changed. On the third floor - a free laundry with a dryer, a gym, a shared kitchen for cooking, a coffee maker, a place for eating. On the first floor - a cafe where you can have breakfast / lunch / dinner. For guests a 20% discount. Great location - 2 minutes by bridge to the metro, also a lot of bus stops nearby; there is a shopping center. Minus - when booking we were not warned that the deposit would be about 500 HKD per day, for 4 days it seems too high (2000 HKD), which was almost comparable to the cost of our reservation. We did not have this amount in cash, we paid with a UP credit card, at the time of publication of the review the bank has not yet returned the funds.

Great stay experience, and several areas show the hotel's concern for its customers, such as placing an extra pillow in the wardrobe for rapid usage. Cutlery, a plate, and a can opener (which is unusual to see in other hotels). One thing I was disappointed with was the sound isolation. Because a family of three or four lives next to my room, the commotion can still be heard across the door that separates my room from the next. Although the sound absorber board has been constructed, the noise remains evident. The TV appeared a pleasant welcome show with my surname, which was definitely amazing utilizing an uncommon approach to greet consumers that I had ever seen. Overall: 9/10

The spacious hotel room exudes a minimalist simplicity with its clean lines, neutral tones, and airy layout. However, the shower, while functional, is a bit more compact than expected, providing limited space to move around comfortably. Located on the outskirts of the city center, the location is slightly distant, yet offset by the proximity of several bus stops nearby, offering convenient options for getting around and exploring the city despite this distance.

Since Chinese New Year I have learned about this place and it’s now my new favourite stay! This time the front entrance was complete and they were renovating the back. Kind staff, everything was met to my needs. They were also able to hold my luggage until later as I had to check out in the morning and take a train in the evening!

This is the second stay at the hotel. Became disappointed by the cigarette smoke we sensed over midnight that woke up my family. When the staff was asked to check for the violators, the staff instead sprayed deodorant outside our room,then knocked and said ”I could not smell anything”. It was disrespectful gesture, as if we lied about the incident. When we said that we could not agree with the deordant being used before her check, the staff went silent and began discussing the AC. When we interviewed other guests in the breakfast lounge, others agreed with our observation on cigarette smoke. We reported to reception as well but limited changes could be done due to centralized ventilation system. Suggest all staff go through training again regarding respect. Attached is the view from lobby of our floor. We stayed on top floors in the second stay but it didn't seem to matter.

Exellent services and perfect location! We spent our weekend there for Mother's Day and to celebrate my wife's Birthday. Thanks for the great services and we did have an wonderful time. We will definitely come back. The place is good even for locals like us.

It was a great experience overall. We reached the hotel at around 2 PM, but they couldn't check us in due to the Microsoft outage. There was a lot of confusion among other visitors, and the lobby was packed with people waiting for the check-in to start. I appreciate the front desk associate Abegail keeping her calm and composed smile, asking if we had lunch and, if not, to come back after lunch for check-in. The place was right next to the Nathan Road exit of East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR. That means it is next to Chungking Mansion for all things Indian. So we went to a restaurant inside Chungking Mansion, and by the time we got back, there was a long queue for check-in. Although the line was long, the front office staff quickly processed the check-ins. Mine just took 3 mins by the same front desk staff - Abegail. She also mentioned that I was getting an upgrade because all the Premium rooms with two double bed options were already occupied. We went to the room and it was awesome! The room was clean, and the pillows were named ”firm” and ”soft” so we could choose which to use. The room had an air purifier. Then, we opened the curtain to a scene showing Hong Kong's reality. While as a tourist, we are usually only privy to the better scenery of the place, we were looking at how cramped the living conditions were in Hong Kong. But to the left of our window was a bell tower and a garden; behind that was the Victoria Harbor *****. The best part of the hotel is the location and proximity to MTR, which allows you to visit all the places.

Great location and hotel is getting a facelift to its looks and entrance. The daily bus service should be continued as this helps long stay customers get into the business area for work and was one of the good facility offered by the hotel. This was stopped since 1st sept.

The place is comfortable and clean, the room is also clean, now the towels are no longer re-washed towels. Very hygienic packaged towels, the view in the morning is very beautiful
