Metropark Hotel Mongkok

Metropark Hotel Mongkok is conveniently located just a 2–3 minute walk from Prince Edward MTR station, though be prepared to carry your luggage up a staircase. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Ricky at the front desk who gave a warm welcome. The room had a slight musty smell when the air conditioning was off, and the hotel placed multiple air purifiers along the corridor. It would be better if each room had its own. No complimentary drinking water is provided—bottled water costs HKD3 via vending machines, which is cheap for Hong Kong, but only local e-payments are accepted.

The room needs upgrading and carpet needs cleaning.  We liked the location for its closeness to the Prince Edward MTR, restaurants and shopping.  The lighting needs to be upgraded as it is dim and not bright.  We liked that your safe and bar fridge were operational.  We did not have the food at the hotel  as there were so many other food choices in the surrounding area.  The room could be better sound proofed as we heard the tv next door and we could hear people talking in the hall.  I could not get really cold water to drink from your bathroom tap.  There was no bottled water provided to guests so we had to purchase them.  

Overall, it is entirely standard, lacking any notable highlights, yet it offers reasonable value for money, suitable for those with limited budgets. The location is adequate, near the city center with reliable transportation; one can walk to the subway and nearby street food options without issue. The room is of moderate size, with simple decor that falls short of luxury but maintains cleanliness and order. The bed is sleepable, and both air conditioning and WiFi function as expected. Staff attitudes are neutral, check-in and check-out proceeded smoothly, and the morning buffet breakfast has limited variety—merely sufficient to satiate, with coffee and bread passing muster at best. Of course, the bathroom water pressure is somewhat weak, and soundproofing is average, occasionally allowing noise disturbances. However, given that the rates are only two-thirds of comparable establishments, such minor flaws are hardly worth mentioning. In summary, if you seek mere functionality rather than excitement, this place is worth considering. It will not greatly disappoint, nor will it provide excessive delight. Should the need arise again, I might select it once more. Recommendation rating: 4/5.
