The reception is always well manned with at least three people on at any one time so check in was very quick. When booking our holiday we asked for a harbour view room and were told none were available however on check in I chanced it and asked if this was possible. Certainly we have already allocated you one came the reply much to our delight so remember it pays to ask. We soon had the key card to room 1016 in our hand.

The Room
The room was not large but perfectly adequate, the double bed had a large blue headboard ,lovely white linen with extra cushions and pillows and a beige valance which matched the curtains and toned in with the blue carpet beautifully. The view from the window which was the size of half the wall was fantastic, across Victoria Park to the harbour.
The room had a TV with 30 channels, a mini bar plus tea and coffee making facilities. Under the window ran a light wood unit with a portion that lifted up which had a vanity mirror and housed the hairdryer in its own black velvet bag , a comfy beige chair was in front of the mirror. A drawer on this unit had the internet connection cable, books about room service, writing paper and envelopes, sewing kit, fax transmission sheets and a guide book but this was in Chinese.
There were four 3pin plug point, broadband internet connection point plus and angle poise light. There were two bedside shelves which had the telephone notepad and light control on it. The wardrobe had hanging space as well as a three drawer chest and housed the safety deposit box with a handy light that came on when you opened the door. On the door was a floor to ceiling mirror.
The room was air-conditioned and was fitted with smoke detectors and had a luggage rack and bin.

The Bathroom
The bathroom was not big and had a toilet and wash hand basin set out in marble and a door leading into a wet room. There were an abundance of white fluffy towels which were changed daily and the biggest lot of complimentary extras I have seen. These included Shower gel, Moisturiser, Shampoo, Toothbrush, Comb, Shower cap, Soap, Sanitary bags, Razors, Facial wipes, Cotton buds and Tissues.
Also in the bathroom was glasses ,soap dish and two face clothes as well as a waste paper bin. It had a washing line in the shower which was handy for drying the bathing costumes. There was also a telephone and shaver sockets.

The Pool and Health Club
These were situated on the roof and even if just going for a look you had to changed out of outdoor shoes into slippers they provided. When out side the view was spectacular right across Victoria Park and the famous harbour where you could watch the Star ferry on its crossing to Kowloon. The pool was not large but very refreshing after a day shopping and at one end was the Jacuzzi. Around the pool were sun beds and towels were provided at no time were the beds all taken and we were there at some point every day for our swim and it was never busy. The health club had lots of exercise bikes and machines which I am afraid we did not use.

Café du Parc
The restaurant was located on the second floor and served a buffet or a la carte menu. We had breakfast here every day and it was very good serving hot and cold buffet to cater for European and eastern tastes, and as much tea or coffee as you could drink. We did not eat here that often but did sample both the buffet and a la carte on different occasions and I was happy with the buffet and disappointed with my choice from the a la carte. The dining room was spotless and the staff all friendly and welcoming.

Vics Bar
This was located on the first floor and we only visited it once and found the happy hour lasted from 4pm until 9pm when drinks seemed to be buy one get one free. Live music was on while we were there.

The Visitors Centre
This is located on the first floor and free broadband internet is available on the two computers in it. The staff again are all very helpful with instructions for trips and these can be booked there if required. They will also help with any other inquiries like bus times etc when they phone for up to date times. I also heard a gentleman getting a visa arranged so they do a good job.

I think that just about covers everything as it was our 30th wedding anniversary they delivered a cake to our room with their compliments so be sure to say if you are celebrating anything during your visit.
We had a wonderful trip and this hotel did not disappoint I give it 10 out of 10.]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/picture-i398401 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:46:00 +0100 ]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/rating-e168891 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:50:00 +0200 http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/picture-i265436 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 23:10:00 +0200 ]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/picture-i262201 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 23:56:00 +0200 ]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/picture-i261491 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:11:00 +0200 ]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/picture-i260021 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 17:20:00 +0200 ]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/picture-i260016 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 17:17:00 +0200 ]]> http://www.trivago.com/hong-kong-73566/hotel/metropark-54160/rating-e100361 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:33:00 +0200
