This is a hotel which has seen better days but unfortunately has remained stuck in those days.
Contrary to the photographs showcased by the hotel, the room is dingy, dark even in broad daylight and poorly maintained. The carpets are dirty and smelt mouldy. Everything looks like it is falling apart or about to do so. The lifts are slow. During the weekend one of the rubbish bins was left uncleared. And these are only the minor problems.
One of the lights emit a low grade humming sound when switched on. This will either affect your sleep or drive you crazy, or both.
Despite the cold indoor temperatures in Hong Kong at the end of January, the temperature settings of the room will make you wonder if you are in the Arctic.
There is no power outlet or USB ports located at either side of the bed. If you want to lie in bed while charging your mobile device, the hotel - limping its way into 2023 - will offer you an option that is straight out of the 1980s (Photo 1).
The Wifi works intermittently or sometimes not at all. After I raised my concerns, the hotel asked for my IP address and then promptly ignored me. After I complained again the next day, the hotel installed a router (Photo 2) in my room. But even then, internet connection was still intermittent or non-existent especially after 10 pm. This continued for the entire 8 days of my stay. By the fourth or fifth day I have no energy to fight this battle anymore.
I did not specifically ask for the router. I merely asked for stable internet connection. But after carting the uninvited device into my room in an attempt to solve a problem that is of its own doing, the hotel made me sign a declaration form (Photo 3). In it, I am compelled to fork out HK$2000 if the router is damaged or lost. I marvel at the hotel’s audacity and lack of any measure of good sense. The router is unlikely to fetch even HK$50 at a self-respecting second-hand store in Sham Shui Po. Considering that I had already placed a sum of HK$2000 on my credit card when I first checked into the hotel, this extra form was totally uncalled for.
Come to think of it, given the poor condition of the room and the equally poor state of the items that are found in it, it is highly doubtful if there is anything worth pillaging that can conceivably add up to HK$2000.
This hotel needs to be totally revamped or even shut down for the good of all those who have the misfortune of staying in it.

这家酒店相信曾经拥有过一段美好辉煌的过去。美好辉煌已不复存在,仅存的只是过去。
房间和酒店宣传照片完全不吻合。房间很脏,即使在光天化日之下也是黑暗的,而且维护得很差。 地毯很脏,闻起来发霉。 一切看起来要么正在倒塌,要么已经分崩离析。电梯很慢。周末期间,房间里的其中一個垃圾桶无人清理。而这只是些小问题。
其中一盏灯在打开时会发出低级的嗡嗡声,这会影响您的睡眠或让您发疯,或两者兼有。尽管一月底的冬天室内已经够冷,但空调的温度让你怀疑自己身在北极。
床的两侧即没有电源插座也没有USB 端口,你若想边躺床上边充手机的话,这家酒店会在它苟延残喘的迈入公元2023年之际为你提供上世纪1980年代的解決方案(图一)
Wifi 间歇性工作,或干脆罢工。 我反映问题之后,酒店询问了我的 IP 地址之后随即把我当空气。第二天我再次投诉后,酒店在我的房间里安装了一个路由器(图二)但即使如此,晚上 10点多以后网络仍然断断续续或不存在。这问题持续了我居住的整整八天。 到了第四或第五天,我已经没有精力再和酒店纠缠了。
我并没有指明要路由器,我只是提出要稳定的网络连接。 但虽然路由器不请自来,或者说是因为酒店自身导致的问题而来,酒店还是让我签了一份保证书(图三)说如果路由器损坏或消失了,我必须支付 2000港元的赔偿金。我对于酒店的胆大妄为和缺乏脑筋的行径深感惊讶。 这破旧不堪的路由器在深水埗稍有点操守的二手店如果能勉强卖到 50 港元的话就得暗地偷笑了。考虑到我入住的时候已经用信用卡担保了2000港元,这个额外的保证书是完全没有必要的。
况且,破旧不堪的房间内真有足够总值高达2000港元的物品供掠夺吗?这点不禁令人高度怀疑。
为了所有不幸入住或未来入住的人的利益,这家酒店需要彻底改造甚至关闭。
