We are frequent travelers to Hong Kong and have been there at least 12 times before. This time we were in Hong Kong for three nights on a stopover.

We usually stay at the YMCA Salisbury, but wanted a slightly bigger room for a comparable price.

The Metropark Kowloon has much larger rooms than the average hotel in Kowloon (and for this price). We stayed on the 18th floor, and although the furnishings were a bit on the tired side, everything was clean and comfortable.

We liked that the hotel was not right in the centre of TST, where all the tourists usually like to hang. I don't understand all the comments about the hotel being out of the way, with the MTR and buses being so quick, efficient, and air-conditioned, it really wasn't all that difficult getting around.

We never took the complimentary hotel shuttle. Instead, we took the 7 and 271 bus to TST whenever we wanted to get the ferry to the Island.

We were quite happy to eat and explore around the neighbourhood as well.

You get a copy of the South China Morning Post every morning.

I cannot comment on the restaurants, gym, nor swimming pool, as we didn't use them.

All the staff were professional and pleasant.

The only niggle was that on the last night, we could hear our neighbours talking quite loudly. I don't know if this is because the walls are thin, or the people next door were extra shouty.

Still, I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Metropark for 2 days at the beginning of April and 2 Days at the end.

Got to say that the room for the first stay was infinately better than the second (4th Floor as opposed to 6th). Having said that the Hotel is rather grander in interior decor than I expected. Check in-out was very efficient and most staff were very pleasant.

Didn't use the Restaurants or bars.

Teresa's cafe gets lots of accolades, but gotta say - not too my taste, very grubby.

Nearby in Langham Place Mall there are eateries in the top floor which have a great selection of foods- much preferred that. Alternatively get the shuttle and eat in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Shuttle (free) goes every 30 mins via Mongkok and drops you off at the New World Centre (TST East) This is a boon as without it it is a bit of a distance out.

TV in room good selection.

Good Price and definately value for money. The 2nd room was a bit shabbier, but even that didin't bother us.

Overall would stay here again but dont book this if you think you're going to be in the centre of the action or overlooking the Harbour.

We stayed at the Metropark Hotel for 4 nights on the way to Bali and found this to be a great city hotel in a good location. We were upgraded for some reason to the club floor and our room was small but modern. We only used the room to sleep and it had everything we needed. It was clean with a choice of pillows and had a lovely powerful shower, although in probably the smallest bathroom I've ever seen.

The hotel's pool was a huge surprise and was bigger than expected - you can actually swim lengths. There was also a gym next to the pool with a Nintendo Wii which was a fun addition.

The hotel has a shuttle which runs every half an hour to the lady's market and the harbour front which was easy to use. We found it really easy to get around Hong Kong, using the hotel shuttle, the metro, star ferry and taxis - all were cheap and simple to use.

We didn't really eat in the hotel apart from at breakfast - the hotel has a bakery and sold freshly made rolls and coffee. There is a supermarket across the road and banks and ATMs in easy walking distance.

We couldn't really find fault in the hotel, previous reviews have commented on the reception staff being rude - they weren't overly friendly but were polite and efficient . They helped you if you asked, just didn't offer or go out of their way to offer.

Its difficult..Especially for people who are looking for a hotel in hong kong. After all the mixed views of the metropark it confuses people, as it did for me before i went. was very skeptical before arriving at the metropark becuase of the different opinions and the terrible images of the hotel on many websites that just give a totally false impression of this hotel and make it look like faulty towers.

This hotel is clean, Tidy, Professional. When you arrive, there is a bellboy who takes your cases up to your room for you, which is a nice touch. The rooms themselves, are very big for hong kong, considering alot of hotels are known for their cramped rooms. The room included free broadband internet access which was unlimited. This means that staying in touch with family and friends was a piece of cake. They even had a pillow menu, where you could choose the type of pillow that you prefered. The showers in this room were also so lovely, it was like having a back massage every morning for free!

The Metropark catered very well as far as food goes. There was a continental buffet breakfast every morning which proved good value and excellent choice. For evenings there was again, the buffet or for a more formal evening, a traditional chinese restaurant called House of tang.

The Metropark also had a great gym with a Nintendo Wii and a very deep swimming pool with sun loungers round it so you could at least get a bit of a tan whilst on top of the roof!!

All in all, a must, for great value for money, and an unforgettable experience at the Metropark Kowloon

As far as location goes...It may be away from the center of kowloon (tsim tsa tsu) but was no problem. A 2 minute taxi drive to the Yau MA Tei MTR station costing only 15HKG was easy and only a few stops on the MTR and you were in the heart of it all!
