“Nice hotel, bad location”

Stanford Hillview Hotel

Mar 6, 2008
0/2 found this review helpful

As a frequent business traveler to HK (about 4-5 times a year) I usually stay here or at the YMCA on Salisbury Road. However, visiting HK en route for our honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia, we stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as a couple for the first time and had an unpleasant experience.
Initially, we booked for one night thru asiatravel and were planning to move to Shenzhen for the next 2 nights.
1. While checking in, the receptionist asked us about the kind of room we wanted and also reconfirmed that we wanted a double bed. While, on entering our room we discovered that it had twin beds! On re-requesting for a double bed, we were told that there was no other room available in the hotel.
2. The room was pretty shabby and had no toiletries in the bathroom. Also, the tub was old and in bad shape.
3. The next day, on being pretty pissed off, I asked the receptionist that if we made a re-booking, for the second night (instead of moving to Shenzhen, that is), would they give us another room. Now, I did this knowing that rooms were available in the hotel and that too at a discounted price. However, not to my surprise, I was again told that there were no rooms available in the hotel and that we would not be able to stay here.
... So, I booked via asiatravel and told the hotel to give me another room as we were on our honeymoon.
This room was perfect, also, surprisingly it was large. And, I strongly recommend anyone checking in here, request for one of the corner rooms. As they are almost 50% extra sized than the others. Bathroom was fine, all was well. Except, to use the wi-fi in the room that is free, one has to personally go down to the reception to get his username and password. And, it has to be updated hourly. That is, to use it for 3 hours, I was given 3 various usernames and passwords for which I needed to maintain small 3 pieces of paper and log in every hour! How strange is that?

4. In a place like HK, where one moves around on foot and MTR, one small difference in hotel location, such as moving up the next street, can change your entire HK experience. Stanford Hillview is located on a steep slope and is no where close to any MTR. It is at least a 10 minute walk to the nearest MTR station, Tsim Sha Tsui.

I would not recommend this hotel for Honeymooners or Business Travelers. But, for sure would to those traveling to HK in search of their Bridal Outfit. As most tailors are right there.

“Good But...”

Stanford Hillview Hotel

Mar 2, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

I stay in Stanford Hillview last year december. It's a really good hotel with all attractions and transportation within wallking distance, but the only problem is that the slope to the hotel is really steep and tedious, although you can walk up from knustford terance but the staircase is very long too.. esp after a tiring day.. Unless you are into backpacking you might not compained.. but not for shoppers.

Overall, is still a good hotel.

Stanford Hillview Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Jakarta, Indonesia
Feb 2, 2008
10/12 found this review helpful

A very nice hotel and worth every dollar you spent. Location is in TST area, the central of 'real' Hongkong. Walking about 5-10 minutes to MTR station, near dozens of restaurants and shops, however still it is very quiet. A steep road is not a big problem, not at all. Room is very clean, spotless and the space is decent, it is more spacious than The Kimberley Hotel's room which is about in the same vicinity. I just praise HK's cleanliness standard. Both Kimberley and Stanford Hillview are very clean. Staff are helpful. And off course, the wonderful things added to the value of the hotel is the Knutsford Terrace. We spent every night drinks and have a light meal in different cafes/resto after all-day-long exploring HK. I will definitely go back to Stanford Hillview again on my next trip to HK.

PS : Because they have other sister property at Stanford Mongkok, it would be easier (before you fly) to print out the name of the hotel in Chinese (it's in the hotel website). It might be not necessary, but just in case. Luckily I did that. When we took a cab from HK Ferry terminal, at first the driver is a bit confused given his limited English, however when I showed him the Chinese name printed, he was driving us right away.
