The Harbour Plaza Metropolis was so much better than we expected. Thought it was going to be too out of the way after reading reports after we booked, but we found it so easy to get around, fast, safe and easy, especially having the MTR station so close. If it were raining you would not even get wet, as you walk straight through the mall connected to hotel and the over road walkway to MTR is enclosed.
We upgraded to a balcony garden room for the first two nights before our cruise on SSVirgo. We were really happy to have the balcony, more like a terrace with a Japanese hot tub for two. You can pull down the screen blind on the terrace and have complete privacy.
The rooms we were expecting to be small and cramped from reading reviews on some hotels in Hong Kong, but we found the room fine, not too small, well equipped and clean, with heavy drapes to keep out the morning light. Very important when you are on holiday. The shower was good too, big water pressure.
The last two nights of our stay after the cruise we got a balcony harbour view room, exactly the same type room but overlooking the pool and views across the harbour.
The buffet breakfast was divine, so many choices of fresh food and really good quality, dishes topped up regularly and the dinner buffet, even though we didn't get there, we had a sticky beek and the seafood and desert selection was unbeleivable..... oh well next time!
The hotel caters to a lot of wedding parties, so on the weekend there are weddings after weddings, so we couldn't access the Patio area for dining outside due to wedding receptions there both weekends.

We ate at the Hotel Chinese restaurant, very 5 star and delicious food and 1st class service.
The hotel shuttle bus is great too, and there is always someone willing to help you if you have a problem. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again, no question at all. I will post some photos in the next few days. Sue

we paid for upgrade as was offerred as soon as we got there paid extra $300 au for 4 nighs beautiful apartment had separate kitchen and bedroom and lounge room great views of harbour
don't psy for breakfast trhough pretty ordinary and always cold!!!!!!!!!!!

What an amazing hotel! I can't recommend this place enough. Firstly, the rooms were fabulous - incredibly spacious and the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! We stayed on the Club floor - if possible ask if you can upgrade to this. The rroms are the same as the other floors but you get access to the club lounge which free drinks (hot) all day, and a 'happy hour' each evening where they lay on a lovely buffet and ALL drinks are free - worth a lot in a quite expensive city. You can go there for your breakfast too though it's worth making the short trip down to the buffet restaurant for that as the selection is better.

That leads me onto the amazing buffet restaurant! You pay for the buffet, then help yourself. There are chefs on each 'table' to cook things freshly for you, a waffle and pancake table, shellfish, etc - the list is never ending! It's all incredibly clean, the waiter seats you, chair out etc - really the highest standard.

All staff are incredibly polite. It's also worth using your daily allowance of free laundering, I think it's 2 items per day but you can have any two items beautifully laundered and delivered pressed back to your door.

One tip - go to the 7-11 in the mall nextdoor for drinks as the mini bar ones are VERY expensive! We drank the mini bar ones then replaced them with cheaper ones from the shop to avoid being charged - just do it before your room's cleaned!

Stayed at this hotel last October purely due to the reviews in here, and we were not at all disappointed. The hotel was well located with the train station right across the street. The hotel itself was very clean spacious and friendly. The manager let us have our room until 18.00hrs on the day of departure so we were able to get freshened up before our flights home.

My husband and I very rarely use hotel facilities because we never stay in the hotel long enough to need them, but from what we saw and gathered from other guests they were extremely good.

Due a slight mix up in checking in the hotel gave us some complimentary drinks which of course we didn't say no to.
It was our first time in Hong Kong and although we are not big shoppers Nathan Road is a must, the bling on the markets and the haggling are 1st rate.

We did a couple of excursions which we booked through the tourist information centre in Hong Kong and can definitely recommend the night cruise which takes in a trip over to the small fishing island, Victoria and the Harbour Light Show which was amazing, we also did the pink dolphin trip which was very good. Hong Kong is amazingly cheap and your £ will go a long way.

We will definitely return to Hong Kong and probably stay on the main land next time, but Kowloon and the hotel in particular was very good, Love these reviews on trip advisor and never book anywhere until I have read the comments on here and I can safely say that the positive comments regarding this hotel are true
