The Cosmopolitan was recommended to us by a friend who grew up in Hong Kong and felt that it was a good central point for us to see Hong Kong in 3 days.
She was right!- We had some of the tourist highlights including the peak tram and the parks close by and good access to public transport (which we found to be very reliable).
The first thing to point out is that space is very much at a premium here,and as such, the family room we had booked would have comfortably slept a small family of woodlouse.
Having returned to reception to complain that the room would simply not fit a family of 4 in, I was told to return to the room and wait with my husband whilest she tried to find something with an extra 10 inches!
I found my husband in a state of mild shock as during my absence my 4 year old daughter had found a used condom on the floor in our room.
She had been scrabbling around on the floor behind the full length curtains and emerged proudly holding it aloft.
The cleaner who was on the landing close by was very upset-but not as upset as us!!
I returned to reception and was quite alarmed by the receptionists lack of horror/response.
However, in her defence,she obviously made a phone call to the manager, as within 5 minutes we were being escorted to a suite.
We received a large bowl of fruit and phone calls from the manager, the general manager, the managers manager and the general managers managers big brother.
Overall the stay turned out to be enjoyable,mainly because of my daughters actions and us being moved out of the shoe box.
The hotel is in a good spot and although the cleanliness is below par, on the whole it turned out to be what we needed for our flying visit.
If you happen to book a suite, they are huge,comfortable, have asmall kitchen and great views of the Happy Valley race course.(Race meetings are on a wed night but we couldn't go as no under 18's are allowed.)
Top tip for a good day out and to see something a bit different of Hong Kong Island, is a trip to Stanley market on a double decker bus.
