Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

During this trip to Hong Kong, the main activities focused on Central, an urban heart where romance never nights, fashion and old stories intertwined. When choosing a hotel I considered location, service and comfort: Mandarin Oriental is an old-fashioned five-star option, luxurious but feels very understated, perfect for those who want to enjoy a little textured vacation, but don’t want to be too showy. Another mini Central focuses on value for money, streamlined but super convenient location, settling down for a night, convenient running view check-in is great. Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong (5 Central Canno Road, Central) The location is right in the heart of Central, almost any famous landmark is within walking distance, whether you want to eat fine dining, shopping or go to Lan Kwai Fong chill is extremely convenient. There are Chanel, LV, Hermes nearby, less than half an hour to have browsed the international brand flagship stores, super suitable for shopping. In terms of transportation, there is a MTR just a few steps outside the door, which is convenient for Mong Kok and Causeway Bay. There are also buses and minibus options, so you don't have to worry about getting in and out day and night. The hotel itself has a certain history, the decoration is elegant and low-key, not flashy, but a kind of tasteful tranquility. The room space is comfortable, the bedding is super good to sleep on, very relaxing to stay. And the service team is attentive, the moment of check-in has felt warm, whether storing luggage, calling a car or asking for attraction recommendations. Dining I most recommend the buffet breakfast, and restaurants such as Mandarin Hall, breakfast styles are many and high quality, everything is done to the standard, do not have to go out to find food is very satisfied. The hotel also provides multilingual communication, Mandarin, Cantonese, and English are not difficult. There are special supplies for children, free extra beds, and family guests are taken care of with great care. As for the photo spots, the Central Waterfront, IFC, and high-rise night views are simply Hong Kong's must-see classics. Walk around the twinkling lights of the Victoria Harbor at night and feel the unique charm of the city. There are also exhibition halls and museums nearby, which can satisfy both pseudo-hipster and chill day. The only minor drawback is that a small number of residents reflect occasional omissions in cleaning (musty smell), some facilities are slightly outdated, if you care more about the new decoration can pay attention. Mini Central Hotel (38 Snow Factory Street, Central) Mini Central is a good choice for those who have a intensive schedule, want a short stay or are budget-conscious. Its biggest advantage is the location, a few minutes walk to the MTR station, Lan Kwai Fong, and Waterfront Plaza, so you don’t have to worry about traffic after drinking at night. You can find everything you want to eat Chinese and Western food in the surrounding area. There are also exhibition halls, shopping malls and cultural landmarks nearby. The hotel lobby is designed in an artistic style, with a shared lounge area, and some room types have window views. Adequate water pressure, comfortable showers, quick check-in and check-out processes, no wash waiting too long. But note that the room itself is relatively small, the facilities are simple, there is a chance of encountering the bed sheets are not new enough, the room smells, some room types also have damp or musty smell problems. Some customers report that the stairs are very steep and it is more inconvenient to haul large luggage, so be mentally prepared. Basic supplies such as slippers and toothbrushes may not be complete in some cases. Bring your own. If you value easy transportation, quick access to a room, or are on a limited budget, this is good value for money, but the pursuit of luxury comfort is not suitable. Hotel booking tips: There are many hotel choices in Central but prices are generally high. It is recommended to book in advance. If necessary, you can take advantage of the price comparison network to find the best price. If you want to sleep comfortably and pursue a textured life, choose Mandarin Oriental. Heavy budget, transportation first or flash trip can try Mini Central. Most hotels in Hong Kong do not include slippers or toothbrushes. Remember to bring your own to rest assured. Some buildings are designed with steep ladders or old-style structures, so hauling large luggage must be noted. The night view of Central is very convenient for taking pictures, visiting the exhibition hall and shopping. It is recommended to reserve at least one night to feel the night view of the Victoria Harbor and the bustling city center. #HongKongHotelRecommendation #CentralAccommodationOptions #PhotoSight Night
