Hotéis Boutique em Hong Kong, China

I chose the Madera Hotel Hong Kong because I was looking for a quiet place to work. It's conveniently located near both Mong Kok and Olympic MTR stations, about a 15-minute walk to either. The hotel lobby is on the first floor, accessible by elevator. To reach the guest rooms, you need to tap your room card, which made me feel more secure, especially since the Cui Hu Restaurant is on the second floor. The soundproofing in the room was excellent, and the air conditioning really made the room cold if set below 24 degrees. Initially, I couldn't find the refrigerator. I asked a staff member, and another housekeeper showed me that it was a built-in cabinet disguised as a white wall. It would be clearer if the hotel placed a small diagram on the cabinet door. There's a charging station by the bed with both USB and Type-C ports, which was very convenient. All four pillows on the bed were quite soft; it would be better if one of them was firmer or more supportive. The room also had a microwave and cutlery, so I could order takeout and eat in. Plus, there was an easy-to-use Philips water dispenser that provided filtered hot water in just a few seconds – excellent! A special note about the window: it was very noisy when it rained, and I'd recommend keeping the curtains closed because there are residents in the building opposite who could see into the room, including when showering. The shower stall had a semi-circular design, with black flooring and an excellent drainage system; the water drained quickly, and the floor dried fast. However, there was a drawback with the showerhead: when I turned on the hot water, there was a loud whistling sound. Also, the knob to switch to the rain shower was very stiff; I had to pull it with a lot of force to change the setting. I hope the hotel can improve this. I also want to express my sincere thanks to the housekeeper, Ah Fang. She was very responsible and attentive. She even tidied up small bits of rubbish in my room, and thanks to her care, I felt very comfortable and at ease during my stay. The hotel is small and lacks other facilities, but if you're looking for a quiet place to work or are a traveler visiting Hong Kong, I highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, right next to The Center and Central Market. The service was excellent, and they offered free luggage storage. The entrance is on the G floor, easy to find, and the reception on the 1st floor has complimentary coffee, water, and sofas for a quick rest. The room size is quite generous for Central Hong Kong, with traditional Chinese decor, and the room was generally clean and tidy. Due to the age of the building, the soundproofing isn't the best. Overall, it's a good choice for business travelers.
