I recently stayed at the Dorsett in Kwun Tong with my wife and kid and it was such a comfortable experience from the moment you walked into the modern lobby and are greeted by the welcoming staff (everyone from the concierge to the room service crew was so friendly). The room was more spacious than expected, with plenty of space for three luggage bags and still room to walk around. There was a proper desk for us to sit at and plan our days (while catching up on the news through the large TV), and to store our daily knick knacks. The bed and pillows were soft, and I'm not sure if this was intentional but it seemed we had options for harder or softer pillows depending on our preference. The bed linen was clean - something that should be expected but not always the case in some other places. My kid enjoyed the bathtub and took a couple of bubble baths during our stay. As per new Hong Kong regulations, they aren't allowed to provide single-serve plastics like bottled water or disposable toothbrushes and those tiny shampoo bottles, but they had refillable shampoo and soap dispensers and a convenient hot and cold filtered water dispenser near the elevators where we regularly topped up our own bottles. Location-wise, Kwun Tong isn't the middle of the city but the Dorsett was a short walk from the MTR and thus it was easy enough to get to the various other places of interest in HK. This city's public transportation is so convenient anyway. We found many places to eat near the hotel, including local HK fare as well as other cuisines like Japanese and fusion restaurants. On the end of the street was a place serving local breakfast food (noodles, macaroni, etc) that we went to a couple of times for it's convenience and price. Just a block down was a supermarket where we could get snacks. It must be added that we also felt quite safe to walk around that neighborhood at night with a young child. It wasn't super busy like Hong Kong central, but there was enough activity. Would definitely stay here again!

The location is incredibly convenient, being close to the MTR and near a shopping mall, which makes travelling to other areas easy. The surrounding area is fantastic, with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The lobby greets you with a pleasant scent, creating a welcoming atmosphere every time we step into the hotel. We also appreciated the free water dispenser in the corridor, which was a thoughtful touch. The room was clean, the bed was perfect, and the amenities were excellent, all maintained at an impeccable level of cleanliness. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. During our long stay, the team consistently demonstrated politeness and professionalism in all areas, including the reception, concierge, and room service. We were particularly impressed by Joy, a housekeeping staff member, who provided kind assistance and demonstrated expertise, making us feel truly at home. It couldn’t have been more convenient. I loved my stay and highly recommend Dorsett Kwun Tong!

“Decent hotel east of Kowloon”

Location - walking distance to MTR, shopping mall. Camelpaint buildings and many other restaurants nearby too. You can also take the ferry from Kwun Tong Pier to North Point or Sai Wan Ho, check out the ferry schedule online. To walk to Kwun Tong Pier and the surrounding promenade area, you can cut… more

Location - walking distance to MTR, shopping mall. Camelpaint buildings and many other restaurants nearby too. You can also take the ferry from Kwun Tong Pier to North Point or Sai Wan Ho, check out the ferry schedule online. To walk to Kwun Tong Pier and the surrounding promenade area, you can cut through Manualife Financial Centre. Room - size is decent for Hong Kong standard and price paid, sufficient space for us to open up 2 large luggages and a cabin size luggage. We were not assigned to the room facing the harbour but was on the quieter side so managed to have good rest. Amenities - swimming pool is available but currently under renovation. Hotel provided water dispenser at every floor, do bring your own bottle. Overall a good stay and recommended if you like to stay away from the usual areas. However, do note that area can be congested especially weekdays. We also notice that they host large tour group and it can take some time to check in, check out and boarding of lift too.

“Looking tired”

The pictures do not show quote how dated the hotel is, rooms are in need of a refurb and the dining room is very old fashioned.

The pictures do not show quote how dated the hotel is, rooms are in need of a refurb and the dining room is very old fashioned. I had issues with the front desk prior to arrival - the policy on early arrivals is not great and so I booked the night before, which seemed to cause even more issues especially as they only take Amex for payment not guarantee! Crazy! On checking in, I wanted to rest but on peeling back the covers, I discovered a foul creamy stain on the sheets and then another that looked like BBQ sauce! The phone didn’t work and so i prepared to go downstairs, thankfully the maid was in the corridor and quickly resolved it by changing the bed - but still EWWW! Breakfast lacked an creativity but was edible.
