Hong Kong Holiday Inn Golden Mile Tsim Sha Tsui

[Chris26WI]

Well, after trying several times for 5-star hotels all over Hong Kong for that week in November (unsuccessfully), I went down to 4-star-level and was hoping for the Renaissance New World .. but well, I ended up with the Holiday Inn Golden Mile... apparently a first timer on Priceline (didn't see it appear before).. and my expectations were quite low... as I knew the Holiday Inn Silom (Bangkok) before which belongs to the same owner (as the HI Macau and the HI Hongkong)...

After all, I was pleasantly surprised with this property, very friendly and fast service during check-in in the pretty large lobby, a really quite large room for Hong Kong conditions (26sqm, which is for sure distincly above average 4-star room size in HK) and a good location in Nathan Road. I upgraded for 150HK++/night to the Deluxe Room (same room as Standard Room, just in higher floor and with better amenities) on the 12th floor and got a nice, clean, comfortable room. Well, nothing special in design and not a nice view (don't expect harbour view rooms in the Holiday Inn HK), but still nice, especially the bathroom.

I got breakfast from room-service once and it was quite cheap for HK (88 HK$ - i.e. around 9 EUR - for continental room service breakfast, 150HK$ for ABF), but everything else is expensive, of course (minibar). But no problem, enough small food stores around the corner in Nathan Road.

You can walk in 5 minutes to New World Center, Star Walk and Star Ferry Terminal, really conveniant location.

This is a nice hotel with real 4-star-service in good central location and the biggest plus are the large rooms.
