Reviews for Eaton Hotel:

- “Good Hotel in Hong Kong” from AlexDino
“I just returned from a stay in Hong Kong at the Eaton Hotel from March 9-16, 2005. I based my choice of hotels, in part, on some of the prior reviews at this website. I booked my trip through Expedia and opted for the Eaton Club Deluxe room with breakfast included. After a 15 hour flight from San Francisco, my wife and I arrived at 7pm to the …”

- “Exceptional!!!!” from Matty
“This hotel should be rated higher than it is. In our opinion it deserves 4 star. The hotel has recently appointed one floor non smoking, it still smells a little, that and the room size would be the only critisism. We stayed here for the end December 2004 and Jan1 2005. It was just after Tsunami time. New Years Eve celebrations were either cancelled or …”

- “Great Hotel” from travel4love
“We stayed at the Eaton Hotel in Januray 2005. We were very impressed with the location of the Hotel – It being in the heart of the vibrant area – Tsim Sha Tsui. The Hotel was good value for money and well maintained. The Hotel reception were friendly and helpful and a morning paper was provided daily. The only drawbacks were that the room was quite …”

- “Excellent hotel” from nomadad
“In October I spent a week at the Eaton. By contacting the hotel directly I got a superb rate on a Deluxe Club level room, plus breakfast. The room was pristinely clean, as were all the public areas. The staff was superb, from the reception-desk clerks, to the concierge, to the housekeeping. Polite in the extreme, and helpful. The previous reviewer who …”

- “Good location, decent price” from like2travelWa
“We went to HK for 1&1/2 weeks in mid Nov. After reading all the reviews and on this site and reading “Top 10 Hong Kong”, DK Publishing, we knew exactly what to expect. Yes, the rooms are small compared to Western standards, but this is HK. The rooms are nicely decorated (separate shower/ bathtub AND our bed was just fine), the hotel …”

- “Ripoff alert” from kmanfrede
“the only saving grace for this hotel is that it has a great location, but there are many hotels with just as good or almost as good of a location. DO NOT stay there because of the internet in the room. it is completely outdated, and you can only get to about half the sites, and it shuts down all the time. hotmail doesnt even work. i used the business …”

- “Great place to experience Hong Kong” from A TripAdvisor Member
“We spent 9 days at the Eaton and loved it. Although the room is not large, it had everything we needed, including a hook-up for a laptop. We never felt cramped. The bathroom was beautifully done in marble tile, and was almost as large as the room. We had great views out our 18th floor room towards Hong Kong Island. The …”

- “Perfect for us!” from SnowFallingOnCedars
“We recently spent 7 nights at the Eaton (6th – 13th October). My father had a Deluxe Queen room on the 17th floor. Lovely! My son and I were upgraded to a Junior Suite (624). Fabulous! Both rooms had curved, floor-to-ceiling windows, offering interesting views, at any hour (… room 624 looked north on Nathan Road. Constant hustle and …”

- “Lumpy Mattresses and over priced food” from Tek
“I stayed at the Eaton for three nights the first week of July. The location is good for tourists. The lobby, stafff, and facilities are very nice. The prices of food in the restaurant are exhorbitant. The room itself was small. The carpeting was shabby. The mattresses were lumpy, out of shape, and need to be replaced…”

Hong Kong – Pearl of the Orient
“Day 1 – Saturday I’m the kind of guy who is never lucky with prizes, freebies, etc. I’ve never won anything in any of the numerous D&Ds I’ve attended … not even if they were trying to make sure 75% of the people attending would be sure to win some sort of a prize, door gifts excluded. Hence when I was told that I was to be upgraded to Business Class on an overbooked UA flight, one might say ‘lucky chap, you …’ Those who know about such stuff would ask instead, ‘What? you mean you paid full fare??’ Well, whoever asks such a question is probably right. It’s not that I’m lucky. It’s a rather long story … and as I’ve said in my intro, buy me a drink if you want to hear this stupid boring story about my run-in with UA that resulted ultimately in this upgrade. Hence, I arrived at Hong Kong at about 11 am feeling rather fresh. Getting out of the Airport was also quite a breeze. Once out, I made sure I obtained an Octopus card (translink equilent in Singapore), which is really the way to go if you were to stay in Hong Kong for more than 2 days. Cheaper, and saves you the hassle of buying single trip tickets all the time, and it works on all modes of public transports – train, bus, ferry. Took a direct bus to Hotel Ibis which is next to Northpoint MTR station. Quite convenient. Dumped my stuff at the hotel room and met Philip at the hotel lobby at about 2pm. Philip had been very kind in offering to take me around for the day. We went to Causyway Bay, walked around the shopping area a little before having a late ‘yum cha’ lunch there with his girlfriend Judy and her friend Vivian. Can’t remember the name of the restaurant but it was good. Hong Kong is reknowned for the ‘tim sum’ that is served, termed ‘yum cha’, that lasts from late morning till late afternoon, and its generally very good. After lunch, they took me to Stanley, which is at the southern part of Hong Kong Island. The bus ride there was very scenic, as we pass the residential areas of the rich and famous of Hong Kong, as well as rounded Repulse Bay. Stanley – kind of like a nice coastal town, lined with some historical buildings and eateries / pubs along the beach. As you can see in my pictures, works are currently being carried out to extend the water front walkway. When finshed, it should be a very nice place for alfresco dining / drinks indeed. Add a few palm trees and I will start reminiscing of my time sipping sangria in Marbella. There’s also a nice market in Stanley where you can buy most of the things which you can find at temple street market and more, without the crowd. The ride back to town was also quite nice. We took a double decker bus via Tai Tam road which passed Tai Tam reservoir on the way back to central. Quite a scenic ride as well. Hence, I’ve kind of made a quick round round the whole of Hong Kong Island in a day. We settled for dinner at a Maxican restaurant called Caramba! along Elgin St in Soho, and finished up with a quick drink at Lam Kwai Fong which is a short walk away. Nice and relaxed way to start the trip, I must say, and I was very glad to have been able to be in good company of friends on the first day. Day 2 – Sunday Hong Kong was generally very cloudy during my whole trip there. It was also rather warm and humid. Average temperature was at the high 20s deg C in the day. It also rained frequently, like it did on this day. I started the day rather early at around 9-ish in the morning … well, that’s earlt by my standards. Took the MTR to Central station and walked around to see some sights like teh Hong Kong CityHall, Statue Square, Legislative Council Building and Charter Garden, etc. Read that this area was filled with foreign workers on weekends nowsdays. True enough, Charter garden resembled Lucky Plaza on a weekend. There was also a mass conducted outside the Legislative Council Building in honour of the ‘Foreign Workers Week’, hence the crowd gathered there was quite large. Had to run …”
