Ovolo Central

was in Hong Kong for a 4-​night stay here at the Ovolo Central and was thoroughly satisfied with my time here. location worked out great for us — we were close to a lot of great restaurants and bars and then we were able to walk off all those calories afterwards with all the hills and stairs in the Central area haha. the hotel itself is also pretty great. loved the modern décor and look of the place. the only awkward part is that the check-​in area is on the 1^st floor but you enter the hotel on ground level so you need to take an elevator trip up one level. no real biggie though. also loved the 24-​hour security — there was always someone manning the door and at night, you would need to your room key just to enter the hotel area in addition you need your key to use the elevator to get up to your room.
the staff here was so great during our stay. i had a lot of requests to have documents printed and they were more than willing to oblige and even offered to bring up the papers to our room. i had also noted that i was there for an anniversary so on our first night, they sent up a bottle of wine for us — really unexpected but thoughtful. no issues with housekeeping either. our room was always cleaned by the time we returned to our room each day. also really cool that there are only 2 rooms on each floor. we were on the 21^st floor and had no issues with our neighbor and street noise was minimal. i did notice some construction noise happening during the daytime but it did not interfere with sleeping at all.
best part about the Ovolo is all the included amenities though! the room rate was pretty expensive ($ 270/​night USD), but at least i felt like they tried to make up for the room rate with everything else haha. free breakfast is next door in the attached café. really liked that you could order any kind of coffee drink like a latte or mocha. they had a buffet of pastries and finger foods plus an option to order hot food. the food wasnt amazing or anything like that but it was great to have something in my stomach before a long day of sightseeing. also so much freebies in our room itself! free minibar 2 beers plus a few airplane sized liquor bottles along with bottled water, juice, and soda. a «loot bag» upon arrival with snacks. a «late night snack bag» was offered if you came back to the hotel later at night that came with cup o’noodles (you have a hot water maker in the room), bottled water, alka seltzer, and tylenol — super cute and thoughtful of them for hangovers haha. plus they had complimentary snacks and drinks along with alcohol during happy hour in the lobby area. they replenished our bathroom toiletries daily, had comfy robes and slippers, and free wi-​fi worked great! oh and not to mention a Nespresso machine in the room too haha. all of these amenities made me feel a lot better about the price haha.

Super helpful staff, free booze (whaaa?) and snacks. Great location, great rates. Apple TV, elegant rooms. Everything except an entryway with a big atrium, which who really needs that?
