Affordable hidden gem hotels in Hong Kong, you'll fall in love after just one stay!

🇭🇰 During my Hong Kong trip, I stayed two nights at The Peninsula Hotel, then switched to Rosewood Hotel for three nights. The two hotels are not far apart, but compared to each other, Rosewood is in a quieter location, while The Peninsula is right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui.

🧹 Soundproofing/Hygiene: The hotel maintains high standards in soundproofing and hygiene, with a clean and comfortable overall environment that makes guests feel at ease.

🏘️ Room Type/Layout: With no tall buildings blocking the view nearby, there’s no need to specifically choose a high-floor sea view room; the lower floors actually have better views and the elevators are more convenient with less waiting time. The hotel rooms and bathrooms have many mirrors, making the style perfect for photo-taking, which might appeal more to travelers who love photography.

🛌 Amenities/Facilities: The hotel’s hardware and facilities are excellent, with supplies replenished twice daily and plenty of Evian bottled water provided. The infinity pool on the 6th floor is very distinctive, though on that day the strong wind and haze slightly affected the photo quality.

💗 Other Tips:

- Breakfast options are quite ordinary. Compared to the Singapore Raffles caviar and The Peninsula’s Michelin-starred Chinese cuisine I’ve tried before, Rosewood’s breakfast doesn’t stand out much, featuring items like siu mai, fried dough sticks, and century egg with lean pork congee, with The Peninsula’s flavors being superior.
- Regarding the breakfast environment, Rosewood’s café is a bit dim and not as bright and uplifting as Raffles’ classic setting. However, when I had dinner at Rosewood’s café later, I found the cost performance and atmosphere quite good. Also, hotel guests get a 20% discount at some of the hotel’s restaurants, which I only discovered on the last day when checking the bill.
- Service-wise, since the hotel has over 400 rooms, the breakfast service can be a bit rushed. The staff are very busy and may overlook details, so you need to actively ask for service.

Overall, Hong Kong Rosewood Hotel has highlights in hardware facilities and some experiences. Although there are minor flaws, it is still a lodging option worth considering.
