Reasons for picking this hotel: I have been curious about this hotel for a while having traveled in and out of Hong Kong so many times. As I had a flight arriving into Hong Kong from Tokyo Haneda at 8PM, some business to conduct in Hong Kong and a departure the next afternoon I decided to give the airport hotel a try.
Transportation / Access:
The hotel is super easy to access from the airport. After customs & immigration just head left and follow the signs to the hotel which is connected to the hotel by a climate controlled walkway about 5-10 minutes walk after collecting your luggage.
Hong Kong is quite a humid city so be aware the air conditioning is usually aggressively cold in most hotels with carpeting (to prevent mold) and this hotel was no exception to this. Not a complaint, just be aware of local norms and customs. I was greeted with two small bottles of drinking water, a hot water kettle and ice bucket in the the mini bar area. Instant coffee, tea bags, two glasses and two coffee mugs rounded out the place settings. There was an empty mini fridge for you to store your own food and drinks.
The bed was a tidy double bed with free space on all three sides (this is important to note in Hong Kong where space is at such a premium that beds are often pushed next to the walls). Bedside power outlets were available, but were the clunky British style plugs, so make sure you have a plug adapter. The analog style clock was a nice touch as I am sure many customers come here for some sleep before an early flight out.
The room was quite spacious by Hong Kong standards and included a love seat, coffee table, and air purifier.
Over to the work desk there was an extension cord with three more British style power outlets and two USB ports. A comfortable swivel chair, phone and mirror were available as well.
Walking back to the front of the room, there was a full length wardrobe closet, two slippers, safe, shoe brush, ironing board and iron.
Laundry bag and laundry service was available.
Bathroom was quite spacious by Hong Kong standards. Two toothbrush sets were included along with soap, shower cap and two plastic cups.
Final thoughts
Quite an acceptable short stay at the airport if you do not need to access the city (as the city is quite a far away). Nice efficient and professional hotels for transit stays, early morning flights, or for other reasons when you need to be near the airport and just want to walk directly to the airport.
