Oriental Lander Hotel

This hotel located about 10 minutes walk from nearest MTR. The room is clean and provides daily cleaning service. The staff are helpful. Sound insulation is a bit bad. The lower floors are already renovated while the higher floors rooms are a bit old. The WiFi is weak inside the room.

Pros: 1. Friendly reception. 2. The MTR is not too far away. 5-7 min walk away. 3. The neighborhood is quiet, so don't worry of noise from cars or rowdy crowds. 4. The room size is small, but unlikely to trigger claustrophobia. The bathroom is real tiny though. The water pressure is good. 5. The room is clean. Mattress is decent. 6. They clean your room and change the towels every day. 7. Proximity to convenience stores and restaurants. 8. They have a good number of electrical sockets, but unfortunately placed at places far from the bed. Cons: 1. The rooms are packed so close together that if someone knocks on the door next door, you'd think they're knocking on your door. 2. They don't provide coffee in the room. Just some black tea in sachets. 3. You've got to buy the water they place in the room. Not pricey though (HKD 4) but I wish they could at least provide this basic necessity FOC as in other hotels. 4. The pillows are so thin they provide practically zero support for the head. Ended up putting clothes under the pillows to prop them up. 5. The no of TV channels are disappointing.

Hongkong is notoriously known for its cramped spaces and this hotel is no different, for a 7x8 ft they have managed to fit in a double bed, a writing desk and a cubby hole attached bath and toilet. Since am visiting here during the HKTDC fare , these fellas have bumped up the rates drastically high... Paying almost 11k (INR) 1200++ hkd for a night with no complimentary breakfast (btw I realised on check in that they do not have a kitchen, let alone a restaurant)... They do have an electric kettle with a few satche of green and black tea, no creamer, no sugar, no complimentary bottled water( chargeable only). Only good is location...and that's it. Going to a hostel or Airbnb would probably be a better choice. I just had to spend one night while transiting ..so survived....best avoided for atrocious pricing, and better options.
