We stayed at the Royal Plaza Hotel from March 27-30, 2008 and it is by far the best hotel experience we had in HK. We were pleasantly surprised of the clean, big rooms! (much bigger than those of the other hotels we've stayed in in HK). We requested for 2 connecting rooms and was impressed when the reception staff upgraded us to the 18th floor where 2 connecting rooms were available. Breakfast is good too!

The hotel is connected to a big mall which is a big plus. It is also very near the Fan Yuen street market (about 5 minutes walk) and walking a bit further will get you to the Ladies Night Market. One can walk to the Prince Edward MTR station in 10 minutes.

After a tiring day of shopping and sightseeing, it feels nice to come "home" to our room. My family and I would definitely stay at Royal Plaza on our next HK visit.

I spent a week here in March and I wasn't impressed. The hotel is ok but nothing out of the ordinary. It was my first visit to Hong Kong and if I had to book a hotel for a new trip I would chose on close to the harbour overlooking the beatiful views there. Kowloon is a bit like the backstreets of Shanghai so if it's a "Chinese" experience you're after go for this hotel. If you're after a more upscale, Euro/US like stay go for Hong Kong Island.

We stayed at the Royal Plaza for 4 nights at the end of our honeymoon. From start to finish it was a complete disaster.
My husbands grandfather had died just the week before and we arrived in Hong Kong to find our luggage lost, neither of which were anyone's fault.
But on the morning of the funeral my husband slipped and fell in the hotel bathroom cutting his nose open. He had to go to hospital having 5 stitches and because of this missed his grandfathers funeral.
The hotel staff were totally unhelpful and didn't even seem to care that a guest had such a serious accident on their premises.
Nobody came up to the room to see where he had fallen or to take details of the accident.
I spoke to the manager asking for a letter from the hotel stating how he had obtained the injury which would make my travel insurance claim easier. They were not prepared to do this and they basically wanted to wash their hands of us.
I could have understood this reaction if we had been claiming liability from them, but all we cared about by this point was getting home.
We took advantage of the spa facilities and both booked a swedish relaxation massage with reflexology. This is serious misadvertisement! The ladies were definitely not trained in reflexology and the massage was the least relaxing hour of my life. if I wanted a painful Thai massage I would have asked for one.
We then paid for a shuttle bus connection from the hotel on the morning of our departure, informing them we needed to be at the airport for 6am. Whilst on the bus the driver told us he was picking up from another hotel at 6am so we would not get there by the time we had requested.
My husband called the hotel asking them why they had booked us onto a bus which would not get us to the airport at the time we had requested. The reply was that if we did not think we would make our flight we should get off the bus and make our own way to the airport.
I am making a full complaint to the hotel now that we are back home, but I would not advise anyone to stay there if they expect friendly and caring staff, and a safe envioronment for their holiday.

Stayed at the Royal Plaza Hotel on our way to Australia. Did a 2 night stopover in Hong Kong. Had no problems checking in and our room was huge. Couldn't ask for a better location, and a shuttle bus took us back to the airport (wasn't expensive) After a long day shopping, we booked into the spa for a full body massage and reflexology, for the 2 treatments it cost £50 and was worth every penny. We were pampered for 2 hours by adorable staff (they didn't speak much English, but had fun trying). Couldn't fault the hotel in any way, and what a bonus to have the shopping mall on your doorstep.
