Southside by Ovolo

ausgezeichnetes Hotel ganz im Süden von Hong Kong Island gelegen. Trotz der Lage sehr gut erreichbar über die nächste MTR-Station Wong Chuk Hang. Habe das Ovolo Hotel mehrere Male besucht, toller Empfangsservice, ausgezeichnetes Bett und Bad, guter Selbstbedienungskaffee. Kleine Beanstandung: Die Klimaanlage traf direkt aufs Bett, insbesondere aufs Kissen, ich musste die Klimaanlage während des Schlafens ausschalten – kein Problem bei meinem Besuch im Winter.

Es ist nicht schwer zu erkennen, dass das Personal sich große Mühe gab, nicht höflich zu sein. Ich kannte dieses Hotel von vor 10 Jahren, als meine Frau und ich großartig behandelt wurden, und dieses Mal wurde ich wie ein Schaf behandelt.

Es war mein erster Aufenthalt im Ovolo Fashion Boutique Hotel West Bund in Wong Chuk Hang. Das Hotel liegt nur wenige Gehminuten von der MTR-Station Wong Chuk Hang entfernt, was sehr praktisch ist. Der gutaussehende Mann an der Rezeption war sehr rücksichtsvoll und reichte mir ein nasses Handtuch zum Abwischen meiner Hände, als er sah, dass meine Arme wegen der Hitze verschwitzt waren. Der Check-in-Vorgang war einfach und er ging schnell ins Zimmer. Das Zimmer ist klein und modern gestaltet, aber mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Das Bett ist bequem. Im Badezimmer findet man selten eine große Flasche Handcreme. Das ist eine unerwartete Überraschung. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass die Klimaanlage im eingeschalteten Zustand zu kalt und im ausgeschalteten Zustand zu heiß ist. Sie kann nicht auf die entsprechende Temperatur eingestellt werden. Hätte ich nicht schon ein anderes Hotel gebucht, wäre ich noch ein paar Tage geblieben.

Booked the trip for my friend birthday - location was abit ulu but taking bus back to hotel at night was super convenient. Also, amenities in the hotel is fantastic. Thankful for the washing machine room where we can wash out laundry as it’s a long trip.

Ovolo Southside is a 5mins walk from the MTR station Wong Chuk Hang which is 3 stops away from the Central Station (中环), 2 stops away from Admiralty Station and 1 stop away from Ocean Park Station. The hotel emits a younger vibrant vibe and comes with free snack treats and mini bar upon check-in. For replenishment of complimentary soft drinks and capsules coffee, guests can go to Level L Lobby Lounge to get them. The room is clean and comfortable, the bath amenities smelled awesome as well!

Second day of stay, still as good as yesterday. Convenient with a nice vibe

The first night, we were unable to sleep well because the air con was far too noisy but many thanks to the hotel , we were given another room which was bigger and spacious. That was truly a surprise and a treat ! To me, it was like a birthday present from the hotel (21 Dec). For the rest of the stay, our sleep was restful and pleasant . The rooms are clean (we have booked 2 rooms, the other room was occupied by my sons) and the toiletries are complete and smell nice. Towels are thick and clean. A surprise came to one of my sons . His birthday is 19 Dec and the hotel has given him a cake which was personally baked by the hotel chef (which I learnt from the staff; I had initially thought was bought from the bakery outside ). The cake was so tasty and delicious . Thanks to the chef ! Thanks to the hotel ! On the day of check-in, the receptionist had wished him happy birthday, but never in our mind he would be given a cake . A special thanks to Xavier who was cheerful and helpful towards us in assisting us with calling the cab on two separate occasions, giving directions for the drivers to come to the hotel. We are not conversant with Cantonese and he is definitely a great help. Also after drinking the coffee, he happily offered to throw away our empty cups. I felt that it was not his job (as anyone should throw his own trash), but he insisted and did it willingly and cheerfully . He made our stay really pleasant . Thanks, Xavier! More to add, the gym and pool table are plus points, suit the needs of my husband and sons . On a separate note, the blind on the leftmost glass window (next to bed) does not roll down properly . I had to manually roll it down , sorry for unhooking some of the hooks of the day curtain. Blessed Christmas to the management and staff of the Ovolo southside! :)

nice rooms half decent service and the room rate was good so no issues.

Hard bed, no privacy (office building can see in), fridge that didn’t work, poor design, worn out.
