Live amongst the locals in Yau Ma Tei at reasonable rates

This might be the best deal in Hong Kong. Dorsett Seaview Hotel is located in the mixed residential and commercial neighborhood of Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon. The local flavor makes it a terrific place to stay for travelers who want to experience the real Hong Kong. The hotel itself has been renovated recently, which means that rooms are bright and new. Simple room comforts make up for their compact size, especially for guests who plan to spend most of their time exploring Hong Kong.

Highlights
  • Very reasonable rates
  • Prime, colorful location in the Yau Ma Tei neighborhood of Kowloon
  • Recently renovated, spotless rooms
Rooms

Rooms are really quite compact, even by Hong Kong standards, but designed to make the most of limited space. Rooms feature an in-room safe and mini-fridge. In the alcove above the safe, guests can hang their clothes. Frosted glass separates the bathroom from the sleeping area, contributing to the feeling of openness. Though the intimately-sized quarters are sufficient for most travelers, those of larger stature might consider upgrading to a deluxe double for additional space. All rooms include flat-screen LCD TV, broadband Internet access and spotless bathrooms.

Features

A buffet breakfast is served daily at Feng Shui Cafe on the 19th floor. The cafe also offers free Wi-Fi access with views of the city and a sliver of the harbor. Guests can use the small business center for computer rental and office services. Dorsett Seaview's location is ideal, just steps from the Jade Market, King's Park and a wealth of local restaurants. Visitors will find ample shopping opportunities nearby at the Temple Street Night Market and along Nathan Road. The Yau Ma Tei MTR station sits within close walking distance, putting all of Hong Kong within easy reach.

After their renovation in May/

After their renovation in May/ June, the rooms are great. Looks nice, clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay at Dorsett Seaview if I am going to HK again. However, the sewage smell outside the hotel is bad but this has nothing to do with the Hotel. :)

The room just renovated, small

The room just renovated, small but new and clean. Bathroom is better than I expected. Hotel is near MRT and a lot of food shop around here. One bad thing is if you deposit your luggage you need to pay to bell boy with no receipt.

Although the room is small but the facilities are new and well maintained. The staff were respectful and entertained the guest well. The location is strategic for shopping of jewelries and garments. There are many restaurants nearby which served good food and affordable. Still prefer to stay in my next visit to Hongkong.

Overall look clean but some bite

Overall look clean but some bite spot in my leg after my wake up, maybe due to the matress cleanliness. Very strategic location for transport (MTR & bus stop-include to airport), shopping as well!
