Schlessinger's on tour Well we are on our way. Have just completed Part One of the Schless world tour. Amazing how 5 days can go so quickly but feel like a month. May 1st Fri- long day flight from Hong Kong to Sydney. My how air travel with kids has changed so much. Of course I packed way too many children activity books, school work etc the kids managed to spend the 9 hours on games and TV on the personal entertainment unit. Got to love that. I actually got to see a movie. Eventually after a...

CHRIS AND HELEN : We arrived at Hong Kong International on Saturday afternoon. Very little sleep on the flight due to the novelty for all of flying and the large selection of films and games on our personal screens. We were all impressed with the coach that transferred us to the hotel - air conditioning, leather seats!! The hotel was also top class. We quickly got settled into our rooms, again all the little goodies provided much fascination - not only soap and towels, we had shampoo, shower ...

Well it's been an interesting trip so far what with mum's carrying on's, its just good to get here now.
Landed 09.30 UK time and a quick bus trip to the Metropark Hotel.
First impressions very nice, we have already sampled the dining delights and the roof top view deck with swimming pool. The view from up there was stunning as we watched the daily 8pm Symphony Of Lights over Hong Kong Island.
Now its time for bed, cuz im tired and busy sight seeing day tomoz, i just hope mum...
Treated Mum Moo to a lovely afternoon tea today at the very, very posh Peninsular Hotel, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam all washed down with gallons of tea, we were both very full afterwards.
Had a nice easy day today sitting on a sight seeing bus going round Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
Weather was very hot and sunny in the morning but cloudy and misty in the afternoon which curtailed our planned trip on the Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak. Hopefully we can...
I arrived in Hong Kong on 10th September, and met Martin here. When planning the trip I had figured that, after 5 months of travelling, I would be ready for a bit of comfort, so I had booked us into quite a nice hotel on Hong Kong island, with a rooftop (33rd floor) pool with fantastic views over the harbour. It was nice to go up there early evening, for a dip, and to see Hong Kong island and Kowloon all lit up. I say 'dip' rather than 'swim' as it was a kidney shaped pool, and quite small - ...

Today we woke to headlines :- "RECORD BREAKING RAINSTORM BRINGS CHAOS TO CITY KILLING TWO " the question would be is bad weather and tragedy following us ...... Actually although the weather has been horrendous for the 5 days we have been in Hong Kong we have still had a great time . We have still been able to do some of the touristy attractions like star ferry , peak tram and light show and of course lots of shopping and generally have a relax . This afternoon we are hoping to take the cable...

Here we are and proud to say that we arrived safely.
After 10 wonderful weeks we finally said good-bye to Ozz (for now!). We enjoyed our time there so much it was hard to leave but that's what we had to do. Our thoughts are turning to the return home, looking for jobs, a new home and so on but before we have to throw ourselves into that full time we have one last stop, 6 days in Hong Kong. Neither of us have been here before so the bus trip from the airport was quite an experience in itself. This place is quite a contrast to the easy going vibr...

Woohoooo, love Hong Kong.... skyscrapers, skyscrapers, bamboo scaffolding, MRT stations miles underground filled with thousands of people, shops as far as the eye can see.... themed floors in shopping centres!!
Can not believe the sheer numbers of skyscrapers that people live in, unbelievable.
Today we had a lovely hotel breakfast and headed off to explore... found lots of jewellery shops, and had fun bargaining, but haventt found my bracelet yet. We spent the morning looking i...
Historical Traveler Reviews of Metropark Hotel Causeway Bay Hong Kong
Not bad but....
When we checked in I immediately realised that despite its exterior, this hotel was catering for the mainland tourist trade, so it came as no suprise that the room was small even by HK standards. The room had a musty smell (due to the aircon effecting the curtains) and most importantly NO BATHTUB in the standard rooms, which took us by suprise. We were informed that only deluxe rooms came with a bathtub.
Service wasn't brilliant and i found the concierge rather reactive and rude. Mail packages were never delivered on time, hotel restaurant was also v average.
However, Causeway Bay is excellant for shopping/eating - every type of cusine you want. If you are in a rush, worth getting a left to the top floors of the Times Square complex, all types of cusine under one roof.
The shuttle bus to Wanchai Exhibition Centre was useful and as was HK Central Library, right next door to th hotel which had free broadband connection. There was also a very good Thai restaurant around the corner near Tin Hau station on the main street.
All in all a good deal if you can secure a good rate. Opt for a deluxe room.
Good hotel, but not quite great...
Also, the rooftop pool and gym are stunning - even better views from up there !
Only downside was the prices in the restaurant - only had a coffee there, but it was a complete rip-off.... I'd recommend eating elsewhere in HK, you're spoilt for choice after all.
Great for 1st Time Visit
The room is on the small side and for some reason I thought it was floor to ceiling windows however, I asked for a corner harbour view room which wasn't overly different from the first room given but more spacious and the view (from both rooms) are spectacular!
Unfortunately I didn't get time to explore the facilities in the hotel but the room was clean and the staff were very pleasant.
Nice hotel on Hong Kong Island
We took bus A11 from the airport to Causeway Bay (Victoria Park). Cost only $40HKD, which is a bargain. If you don't feel comfortable for this option, at least consider it when you leave for the airport. The bus stop right outside the hotel and runs from 5:30AM till 12AM I believe.
When we got to the hotel past 11PM, the Karaoke lounge is at full swing. Minor annoynance. Once we get to the room, it is nice and quiet. We asked for a non-smoking room, but I have a suspicion that it's a smoking room because 1) I can smell something and 2) there is an ash tray in the room and no non-smoking sign. Since it's past 12AM already, I figured we will hang tight for the night and see how it goes. After a day the smell dissipates, and we feel ok.
The room is on the small side, even in HK standard, but the view more than offset this limitation. All the essentials are there, and there are some nice touches like a marble bathroom. The bed is on the soft side though, it could be me only, since my wife sleeps soundly every night.
Location of the hotel is actually just right for us. It's about 10-15 min walk away from the hustle and bustle of Causeway Bay main drag, but taking the $2 tram makes it quick and easy. Also, it's nice to be not always in the center of action, which can drive me nuts. MTR is very close by to the hotel. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to the main Causeway Bay area, we didn't use it just because our schedule doesn't match. There's a convenience store just down the street.
All in all, we feel it's worth what we paid for.
BTW, if you are in HK, get an Octopus card (you can get one at many places, we got ours at Causeway Bay MTR station.). It's a form of payment for all public transport (no taxi), and it's very convenient to use. You can top it up at a MTR station or the convenience store next door when you depleted the funds on the card. It costs $50 deposit, plus whatever you put on the card (I think $100 is standard). The only catch is, they will charge you $7 if you return it within 3 months. It saves a lot of trouble to carry coins around though.
Loved the Metropark
The position was great as the MTR was two minutes walk away and I spent time on the running track in the park right outside. Very handy.
The swimming pool on the roof also gave a fantastic view. I could spend hours up there just admiring the view and watching the world go by.
Everyone was friendly and helpful. All in all the hotel managed to make our stay in Hong Kong memorable.
Good if you stay in a Metropark suite at internet rates.
