This was my 2nd stay at the hotel. First time was excellent, but this time was horrible. They offered me a room on the other side of the building, and the room condition was really bad. The first room they got me was too smelly, so I requested to change it. Staff was very efficient and offerred me another room, still smelly but better. I noticed the curtain and wall paper were stained badly, but the restroom was more spacious compared to the one I stayed in last time. I was too lazy to ask for another room, but later I found out the toilet was not flushing properly. Staff sent a handyman fairly quickly, even it was almost midnight.I appreciated their efforts, but i still need to flush the toilet twice or more everytime I used it after that. If you only care about the location, it's still very good, but if you also care about the room condition, you'd better ask to stay on the side that is closer to the check-in counter.

Security issues - poor dispute resolution
I never usually post bad reviews of an establishment, opting to only offer good reviews for an excellent experience. This one however was handled so poorly, with an unacceptable "solution" offered for a serious mishap. I stayed at the Cityview Hotel 8 years ago and had a lovely stay with a comfortable modern room, a nice breakfast buffet, and without incident. This time around I was not so fortunate - the only thing going for it was the location - right next to Yau Ma Tei station. The beds were as hard as the floor, the breakfast buffet food quality was nowhere near as nice as the previous stay, no bathroom amenities or bottled water provided like other hotels, and on my final night an unexpected guest gained access to my room with a keycard. The hotel had checked someone else into my room before I had even checked out. This was a MAJOR breach of security and trust, and it was fortunate that I was in the room and in bed. Despite being embarrassed by the situation, had I not been in the room the guest could have stolen my passport and belongings by gaining access to my room. As such I quickly packed up and checked out early, opting not to stay the final night. The hotel apologised, and I requested a refund for the unstayed night due to their terrible mistake, but this was dishonoured continuously after back and forth correspondence, with the offering a "suite upgrade and complimentary buffet dinner on my next stay". No thanks, probably won't be back.

Great location!
We had 2 rooms for our family of 4 (2 teenage kids). We would not have fit in 2 "double beds" as they are really small! We got adjoining renovated rooms and they were comfortable. Very close to the fruit market, sneaker street and great eats just downstairs - Kadora bakery, HK style cafes etc. The subway entrance is right there too. I would stay there again.

Proximity to city centre and MTR, food places; friendly staff, room facilities great - shower, bedding, lighting, Would be great to have free gym privileges included in room price, one extra pillow for single bed; automatic door closing noise-when it closes on its own, it sounds like someone slammed it shut , worst in the morning when people are getting out.
