Silka Seaview Hotel in Kowloon

tiny room, unfriendly staff.

Rooms were very small

The room is small but convenience, they charge to use WiFi, that's bad for today's travellers.

The location is excellent, very close to bus stop for airport shuttle, and other public transportation. The place seems newly renovated and clean. The room is small , but clean, quiet and with good AC. The staff is generally nice. Quality of service is generally ok.

Location is central Kowloon. Far from the shopping and busy streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, though proximate to the bargain mecca streets like Temple. Rooms were small yet the beds are comfortable. The hotel's name is a misnomer, there is no seaview rather the concrete jungle of the mid-range class. The housekeeping staff are friendly in comparison with the […] front desk. Don't bother to get a free breakfast coz the site has lots of restos for a budget traveler. Lees meer

The hotel has pros and cons. It is convenient, newly renovated, clean, reasonably good service, and at a good price. However, I am 5'10" and I found the bed not long enough. My room is at the end of the corridor and I have no internet service even though I paid HKD100 for a 24 hours internet service. The central air was quite noisy and with no heat […] coming out during my stay in early February. The room was very cold. Lees meer

good location, clean place but the only hotel in the world that does not have free internet for customer !!!

-Convenient location (Near to YauMaTei MTR) -Hotel is clean, small room but you can feel comfortable

The hotel silka sea view in Hongkong would be a best option if your working on a limited budget but is looking for a comfortable and conveniently located hotel, however the staff are not so well trained to work under pressure.

staffs are careless, without carefully checking the room after I cheched out. staffs questioned me about a missing TV remote stand right at the front door of the hotel in front of a group of people while I had a plane to catch in 2 hours. They believed I took it. After I requested to double check the room again, they found the stand in the room. As […] soon as the staff confirmed on the walkie talkie; he walked away immediately without showing any apologize or offer any help because of the mistake they made which delay us getting to the ariport. The staffs are not well trained, they didn't concern our feelingand how they treated us. It was a bad experience staying in Silka Seaview Hotel. I don't think I have any thing about this hotel I would recomand to anyone that I know! Good luck to your business in the future. Lees meer

Cheap compared to many other options in HK/Kowloon. Well located, right off Nathan Road, next to Tin Hau temple and the Temple Street night market. Near the Yau Ma Tei MTR (subway station), which made it fairly easy to get to from the airport. The district, away from the glitzier tourist spots, is safe but well-worn. Service and room were adequate. […] As others have mentioned, the rooms are small. But not that unusual by Asian business hotel standards. They are clean and functional. If you are over 6' (1.8m) you may find the beds short. Lees meer

The hotel room is really really small, (maybe 8m2 of space) but comfortable & clean. Good location & 3 min walk to nearest Yaw Mah Tei MTR(trains),, basically located along the Temple street night market. 3 STAR ***

Only stayed overnight- ideal for overnight stay. Very small rooms, but not a problem for short stay.

noise from the corridors

the location is quite good which is close to Yau Ma Tei MTR station, room is small but renovated, clean and comfort. really recommand to people who just stay in HongKong for short period.

The hotel was fine and convenient. The shuttle to the Kowloon airport station doesn't start unitl 8:00 a.m but a taxi ride is only 20 HK$. Close to the night market and not too far from the subway station. Internet surcharge was $30 HK for one hour. Staff was friendly and helpful. Small room was clean and comfortable.

My family and I stayed in that hotel for 3 nights and 4 days. we liked it, in fact, my husband told me that when he comes back to hongkong, he will stay there again. The hotel is very accessible to resto, mtr, walking distance to the ferry terminal, parks and downtowns. we really loved it, the staff are accommodating and friendly.

We found the hotel to be adequate for our stay. The room was clean and was cleaned everyday. Located only a few minutes from nearest train station.

The hotel room was a bit small but otherwise perfect location to yau ma tei subway and nathan roads . Air-conditioning was superb after spending all day in the humid weather.

Don't expect luxury, big rooms and fabulous service but if you are there to see the sights, shop at the markets and eat out - and what else would you be in Hong Kong for?, this is a good hotel in Kowloon for the price. Yes the rooms are tiny but I found it clean and quiet with a comfortable bed - and for a day or two stay it is all I wanted. The location […] is fantastic, one street away from Temple St markets and great access to the train system but if you want, a short taxi ride to Mong Kok shopping. They are currently renovating the Lobby area but no inconvenience and it looks like they are nearly finished. Most of the reception staff have a good command of English. If you want a good breakfast don't bother with the Hotel offering, you will find plenty of places in the streets around that provide better and cheaper food. Lees meer

Its just enough for two person per room, cosy.. But, if you are planning for a shopping trip, be forewarn there won't be enough space to put two luggage comfortly, less alone the shopping bags you come back with nightly. Location wise, its quite convenient, but seriously you won't walk to mongkok(where most shoppings are done), you will take the mtr, […] which is some distance away from the hotel. The one bad thing about the room i stayed (1309) was, the aircon blasted as if it's running on cemtralised air con, the coldness was unbearable that we gotta switch on and off the aircon to warm up the place. We were too lazy to asl for a change of room because that means we gotta shift all our luggages amd shopping bags here and there. Beside this, i'm totally pleased with the housekeeping daily, they made me feel i'm came bk hm each day i returned to hotel after a long trip outside.. Lees meer

At any price, this hotel is totally unacceptable. Only if you are a college student looking for a place to lay your head. The only good thing about the hotel is that is next to the Temple Street Night Market and that is not what it used to be and can be covered in 15 minutes. The rooms are tiny, old, and uncomfortable. No desk space. The bathrooms […] are tiny with very little water pressure. The toilets do not flush properly...I will leave that to your imagination ! The front desk is manned by one person who is so slow that you should make an appointment. I use you 5-6 times per year and am a "Five Star" client. You should drop this hotel from your inventory.

hotel to small with the prices spend. Internet connection extra pay. and no free shuttle from airport to hotel location.

The room was very small, but not as small as another hotel in Kowloon I stayed at. The shower was small, but big enough to use. I had to leave the hotel at 5 am to go to the airport (before the subway opens) and there was a cab waiting there outside the hotel. Within a block I saw several other available cabs, so you should have no problem getting one […] in the early hours. It is right next to the jade market, so there is plenty to do in the evenings nearby. Lees meer

The room we were given was TINY!!! Literally no space to accommodate your luggage. The room was clean and nicely decorated, but there was no space at all! The water pressure in the shower was very good though. But again, NO SPACE! We walked around and to our dismay, saw very dirty streets behind the hotel. Stark contrast to the clean airport that HK […] has. Lees meer

Dorsset was clean,comfortable and the price good.

Hotel staffs are not friendly at all. With hotels.com booking, they also verified that I have already prepaid fully the amount of my entire stay. On top of this, they required a 300HKD deposit with not receipt provided (I didnt know I should be given one). I have decided to use the wifi service and called reception from my room, only to have them say […] I must personally go down and sign for the password. Apparently they cannot release pw to the convenience and comfort of its stayers even though we have a deposit left there that was way sufficient for 3 full days of wifi service. Upon checking-out the staff requested me to produce my deposit receipt which I was not given and his word of reply is , "you must have it." He made me sign on another paper to have a match on the signatures before having return the deposit to me. Otherwise I guess I would have a greater difficulty to getting my 300HKD back then. I tried to explain to them about the hassle of going down for the pw, and they didnt want to do more to accomodate its stayers. my 2nd major issue with the hotel: the TV signals were not good and we were watching visuals with no sound half of the time. I never had such problems with other hotels I stayed with last time. I guess at the end of a long day, we could care less about asking maintenance to come fix it, if it was a technical error with our TV set. overall, i wouldnt come back to stay again. I would be embarrassing for me to recommend this hotel to my family / friends. Lees meer

The Hotel staff was pleasant, the room was clean, small but for the price who cares. The Hotel was conveniently located, neighborhood was OK for Hong Kong. Their were no problems and the conceiger was helpful with bus tips.

I stayed in the hotel for 7 nights. The hotel is just behind temple street and is very convenient, is only 5 minutes (or even shorter if you walk faster) to MTR station YauMaTei. There is a lot to see and eat at Temple street too. Though hotel room is very small but is good enough for 2 person. The hotel is very clean, both the bedroom and toilet. Remember […] to ask for extra pillows as they provide only one for each person, it is not enough to rest your head well. I will definitely stay here again and recommend to others too. Lees meer

If you are the kind of traveler that would rather spend their hard earned money on adventures instead of high end pricey hotel rooms than this may be the place for you. However, if having a large room with a huge bathroom is high on your list you better go make your reservation at the McHilton. This place is close to Temple Street market and the Ladies […] Market. Walk to the MTR or even the M-21 bus to the airport on Nathan Road. The room was super clean. Bad part: like every hotel in China you have top listen to those stupid door lock alarms from everyone on your floor coming and going. Also, in Asia no matter what time it is people communicate by yelling at eachother as loud as they can so you get to enjoy that while you are trying to sleep as well. If this hotel could charge for the air you breath while staying there they would. The wi-fi signal was available but it was pricey in 30 minute increments. For a nice breakfast I suggest bypassing the 19th floor here, unless it is included, and walking to the Casa (hotel) cafe down Nathan Road for an awesome $ low hkd breakfast. Get one of those MTR maps that show you all the interesting things to do off the MTR stops. Last, pay a few dollars more for the "delux" room instead of the standard room. Lees meer

The location was great to get to everything. But the rooms are too small and have very little closet space.

Most of the positive, and some of the negative reviews i read i would agree with. Though I think people need to remember what they are paying, and overall this property is fine. The location is very good near the Yua Mai Tai subway. If coming to the hotel this way you need to take exit c and walk two blocks along Nathan Rd. and then turn right down […] Public Square street. Then go straight a short way crossing two lanes, its right on the corner of the second lane. If using the Airbus, get off at stop nine, if going back to the airport via the Airbus, it is very convenient as the outbound stop is even closer to the hotel. The staff comments are accurate, they are efficient enough, but not friendly and dont smile. As you come and go throughout the day they dont acknowledge you or smile.If not checking people in or out, just stand around talking. Even the bell boy/concierge, just looks down at his desk the whole time,or laughs with someone on the phone. The nicest staff member was the young guy in the breakast room (HK $55). More on this later. The room is small but that is to be expected. I am 193cm and my feet hung out over the end of the bed, touching the wall in fact. Bathroom equally squishy, have to dry yourself off in a controlled fashion to avoid hitting all the walls. But water pressure is good and the water is hot. Shampoo and bath gel provided, as well as a gel dispenser in the shower itself. So that was a bit odd, bath gel, no bath, and a body wash dispenser already in place. Toothbrushes and paste, comb also provided, but no bottled drinking water. Unlike Japan, Taiwan and China that usually provide two bottles per room. Though i think they boil the kettle for you as drinking water, as mine was still hot and full. The decor was fresh and newish, creating a clean feel. Though there were quite a few hairs floating around the floor, overall cleanliness was good. Due to the size constraints of the room, luggage has to repacked on the bed, not very hygenic for the Lees meer

I stayed 2 nights in the Dorsett Seaview Hotel with my 9 year-old kid. Though the room is small, similar to other hotels in HK of this rating, everything is sufficiently well equipped. Basically the Hotel serves as its purpose of being clean, convenient and quiet. Hotel staff are efficient but lack of enthusiam in providing quality service. The practice […] of internet charge is a bit outdated, though common in HK. This Hotel is a nice alternative to those seeking for simple accommodation with relatively convenient location. Lees meer

If you have a tight budget and love convenience, this is a great place to stay. Apart from feeling cold as the heater did not seem to be working even when we adjusted the thermostat to 30 degree, we were happy with everything else. The best part was the location! Arriving late and temple street was just right behind, giving us a chance to have great […] street food before we rested. Lees meer

Was a great hotel. The rooms where new and fresh, albeit it a little small. I am 6"4 and the beds were a little small, but other than that it is was great. The location is great, about two minutes walk from a MTR station and right next to one of the busy night markets. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Over all was a great hotel at a good p […] rice. Lees meer

It was pleasantly unexpectedly good esp after their renovation. Room looks much much better than before. Value for money. However it would be even better if the hotel can accomodate families of three.

We were very pleased with our stay at Dorsett seaview hotel.The room was little bit small bot was very neat & clean.The staff at reception are very nice paticularly Alex was very good & very helpful.His English is better than all other I spoke to.The night market is like on hotel's doorstep.overall our excpirence was very good.

The room is small but good enough to stay a few days. Everyday housekeeper will clean the room and replace a the toilets stuff. All the facilities are consider in good condition to use...But the noise of outside people pass by from the corridor could be hear in the room, especially in morning to make you difficult to sleep..

Hotel room small but quite comfortable, clean, and with good amenities. Price good for HK. Close to Temple St. Night Market, Nathan Rd, and Yau Ma Tei subway. Also they change money at hotel and can set up tours. A21 bus stop to airport nearby on Nathan Rd.

Room was very small but decent enough for the price we paid. Conveniently located and about 5 mins walk to the nearest MTR station. There is also a free shuttle provided by the hotel to Kowloon station, which we can then take the train to the airport. Overall, the 2-night stay was pleasant.
