I stayed at 3 different hotels during my trip. One was another Marriott chain and one was from another chain (both in Tsim Sa Tsui.) This was the best one for a number of reasons, however for me it was the technology that put this hotel over the others. The tv was a flatscreen and you are able to connect your laptop/mp3/dvd player to the tv (cables provided). The other hotels did not even have a flat screen. There were also more cable tv channels available. This hotel offered wireless internet whereas the other 2 did not.

I was skeptical about the location knowing that it is not near an MTR station, however there was plenty of other types of transportation available right outside (buses and trolley.) There is even an express bus to the airport (price is probably about $16 HKD.)

My only issue with the hotel that kept me from giving this stay an exceptional rating is that I did not get the roomtype I requested (King non-smoking.) I ended up getting a King smoking, but as it was a brand new building, I did not smell any smoke. I was also upgraded to a harbor view room, but was only on the 7th floor so the view was not great (but much better than city view from the 7th floor.)

The room is on the small side, but everything else made up for it so I did not mind. The service at Courtyard was similar to the other 2 hotels I stayed at except for the lack of a swimming pool. But for the price, I can pass on the swimming pool. I would definitely stay here again, but if the price goes up I may consider staying at a more conveniently located hotel.

I almost did not want to write this b/c I travel to HK frequently and the more people find out about this place, the higher the price is going to go. I will stay here from now on. Free breakfast in the morning, very nice buffett. They upgraded me to a room overlooking the Harbor, very nice. Lobby and rooms are very nicely decorated as well.

The only negative about this hotel is the location, which is why it is also not so important. It is not a bad area, but not great. Not much around, as you will have to take a cab wherever you want to go. About 10-15 minute cab ride to Central Plaza, Wan Chai. The location also is the reason why it is hard to get a cab sometimes during rush hour. Two mornings in a row I did wait some time to get a cab and ended sharing one with someone going the same way.

Like I said, if you go to HK frequently, especially for business, this is a great place.

Myself and my husband have just returned from Hong Kong, and checked into this hotel 3 times,as we had a couple of side trips staying over in Macau and Tokyo. Can only repeat what the previous reviewers have said about this hotel. The first room we checked into was a great surprise as we hadn't expected much at this price range - it was their cheapest room as we were arriving late at night and leaving early next morning. Good clean room, nice furnishings, fluffy white towels and bathrobes, and a great comfy bed. Checked in again 2 nights later, again for just one night, to a room with a view of the harbour, much bigger, with a small sofa as well. The manager came across to speak to us while checking in, and was very welcoming, giving us his card in case we had any problems so that we could speak to him personally. Happy to say that there was nothing the staff could have done to make our stay any better. Third time we stayed for 4 nights,corner room, great view of the harbour, smaller than the first 2 rooms, but still not a bad size.Lounge access well worth the extra money, chef asked us every morning if he could cook anything special for us the next morning, he seemed concerned that we didn't eat much for breakfast thinking we didn't like the food on offer! We have never been asked this before in HK, not even in the Hyatt or the Langham!
The area is not smart or upmarket by any means, but we did not feel uncomfortable at any time walking around. Buses and trams are nearby and leave every couple of minutes into Central. Taxis take about 5 mins into Central District for approx HKD20, or SoHo and Staunton Street for approx HKD25. This hotel and it's staff are obviously trying very hard to make a success of this business, and if they keep up this level of service, they deserve to succeed.We go to HK on a regular basis as our son lives over there, and usually stay at one the large 5 star hotels, great hotels,with great facilities,fantasic if you spend much time in the hotel- but if you are out all day and all you need is a good room with good service, give it a try - there are plenty of places in Hong Kong to spend the money on that you will save by staying here.

Courtyards in the US are Stalinist hotels with all luxury deconstructed. This is not like the US Courtyards. Very nice staff- very modern and sleek rooms and common areas. Highly recommend. This is like a W hotel, only far less expensive, better lighting, more spacious, and staffed with helpful people rather than the frustrated out-of-work models who work at the W's.
If you want modern and nice, and clean, stay here. It's one of the less expensive hotels and is terrific. Granite bothroom- with two shower heads- you will be pleased. The bathroom fixtures alone are worth staying. I was upgraded for free to a harbor view- but even without that, this is a very nice hotel and you will be happy here. I think I paid about $110 for the room with tax. Centrally located- take the train into Central station from the airport and then get in a cab- I think the train costs $25 round trip and the cab will be another $7 or so. Very fast and efficient. Then you can take the cable car around for 50 cents after you've checked in and see the city. All prices in US dollars. Don't let the Courtyard name scare you off- this is not a Courtyard- don't know why Marriott labled it that way- this is more like a JW or Renaissance brand.
