Convenient and Nice Apartment
Review Submitted: October 22, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
This was a great apartment and Rose was a terrific host. She was very easy to work with in making the arrangements and gave us some great tips when we arrived for sites to see.
The apartment was well kept, clean, quiet, safe and orderly. Bedrooms were very comfortable and the 12th floor balcony was a great bonus! Good shower pressure and a huge tv with a wide selection of dvds were a nice touch.
The apartment is in a nice little neighborhood and is relatively close to the train and easy enough to get a taxi. We had more space than a hotel and it was nice to have a little kitchenette to make tea, etc. We spent most of our time out and about exploring the city, but the apartment definitely served as a great base and place to return after a full day.
I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Splended time in HKG
Review Submitted: September 13, 2009

We were very pleased with the accomodation and the provided service by the landlord. The flat was clean with busstop directly in front of the house where one can enter a bus straight to Central District. If MTR is in focus it takes a short walk to Tin Hau MTR-station, very convenient, too.
We used to live in HKG about 10 years ago and it was the first time returning to "our" city. The convenience of the flat made us feeling very quickly being back home!
We would recommend this flat any time to our friends if they consider a trip to HKG and don't want to stay in a hotel, we even would try to convince them not staying in a hotel rather renting the flat.

Causeway Bay Apartment, Hong Kong
Review Submitted: September 5, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
The apartment is very well located just on the eastern edge of the Causeway Bay area of Hong Kong, next to Victoria Harbour and Victoria Park. Typically for Hong Kong it is compact, but well appointed. However, Hong Kong is a dynamic, vibrant, society whose residents seem to rarely go inside. So vacation apartments serve as a base only and compact is not a problem. The entrance to the block can take you by surprise when you first arrive but don’t worry about this. Take time to explore life around the apartment. Victoria Park is simply superb and a great location to see life in Hong Kong from early morning to late at night. Try some Tai Chi and swim in the pool. This district is a major residential area for the Hong Kong residents and so there are lots of interesting food, and other, shops all around the apartment as well as some very good restaurants. Public travel by bus is right outside the door (5 and 5X) and the MTR (Tin Hau) and Tram are within 5 minutes walking. These services will take you to all areas of Hong Kong and are cheap and convenient. There is nowhere to park a car – you don’t need it. There is some great shopping in the area around Times Square which is within walking distance of the apartment and the best is to be found in the small malls and shops rather than the glitzy large mall buildings. Just ride the tram to get a full perspective. The kitchen in the apartment is small, but well equipped. We didn’t use it much at all though. The local restaurants are too good to spend time cooking, though the temptation of the food available in shops all around the apartment makes the prospect of cooking an exciting one if you have the time. We really liked this apartment. It is convenient for the tourist areas but you feel as though you are living in ‘real’ Hong Kong not ‘tourist’ Hong Kong and so you feel for a while you are part of Hong Kong. Best of all the area is very safe, so if you have teenagers (as we do) you can turn them loose with a card for the public transport and they can 'do their own thing' even late in the evening. We developed a pattern of going out for the day sightseeing, perhaps finishing on a beach, having dinner at a restaurant and then the teenage girls stopping off somewhere in the Central to Causeway Bay area and making their own way back from there, often very late. We had no qualms about this and the arrangement worked well. We would return tomorrow given the chance.
Excellent stay with Whitfield Apt

We were a bit shocked when approaching the apt building and nearby area is just not what we expected (shopping centers, hang out spots, etc). Getting into the lift was also creating BIG question mark for us. I haven't seen this kind of lift for the whole of my life. End of our "journey" from front door to fl. 12, we were welcome by a warm greetings from the owner, Rose. It is very meaningful for us after long journey and delayed of our flight. The apt although is very small, but it's newly renovated with good interior design. We can have a nice harbour's view from the large balcony. Rose had furnished the apt very well. My kids (they are 6 & 4), instantly feel at home. They were so happy to see the large LCD TV on the wall esp. when they found the Disney's DVDs in the shelf. As for me, what help me a lot is it is equipped with washing machine so that i don't have to bring so many clothes and have more space for my shoppings.. :). Eating is just a corner away.
BTW, we found it is easier to reach Fortress Hill MTR station rather than Tinhau.
In short.. we definitely will stay again in this property and recommend it to family with kids, girls/boys getaway.

We stayed at the Whitfield Apartment between 23 April and 3 May 2009.
The apartment is located next to Victoria Park in the Causeway Bay area and has nice views across to the Yacht Club and to Kowloon.
Located on the 12th floor of the building with a balcony, the apartment can comfortably accommodate 3 adults or possibly a family of 2 adults and 2 children.
The beds were clean and comfortable as was the double sofa bed in the lounge.
There is a bathroom with shower and a kitchen with oven, fridge and ironing facilities.
There are plenty of places to eat nearby or supermarkets for tea, coffee and snacks.
The MTR of Fortress Hill and Tin Hau are only a short walk away and the nightlife of Wanchai and Lang Kwai Fong can be easily reached by taxi in 5 minutes or 20 by MTR.
A nice property at the fraction of the price of a hotel. The properietor Rose was also extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. We'd defnitely consider staying here again.

Review of Whitfield Apartment, Hong Kong

All of my pre-visit enquiries with Rose, the owner, were answered with speed and efficiency and thankfully in fluent English!!! We initially booked the apartment for four of us, but added our daughter and her partner at the last minute.
We were met at the airport by a very smartly dressed driver (optional extra) and taken to the apartment where we were met by Rose and her husband, who offered further help and advice. The apartment has unlimited WiFi access for your own laptop. The telephone provides free local calls, and there was a safe. The television was rarely used but had the 'World' channel with a selection of English speaking programmes. The access to the apartment block is by security code and there is a doorman on duty in the day time. Although the apartment is advertised for 5 possibly 6 occupants, for a long stay in comfort I would ideally suggest a maximum of 4. There is only one hanging rack so we lived out of our suitcases! However, it very much served our purpose of giving well-priced accommodation in a convenient location close to Tin Hau and Fortress Hill MTR stations. We basically used it as a dormitory being out and about all day everyday. The kitchen was very small and couldn't really be used to produce anything substantial (no oven and only a two burner hob) but then we didn't need to eat at the apartment as the restaurants out and about were superb and well priced with selections of local and western style food. A very pleasant surprise was 'Jacky's Kitchen' (as you leave the building turn left and it's pretty much next door!) This tiny restaurant serves food in the French style and offers an excellent well priced menu. Despite the kitchen being small, it did have a washing machine (essential for a two week stay), a microwave and all the other basic crockery and utensils for preparing and eating snacks/drinks. An unexpected essential was the A/C in all the rooms, as Hong Kong is very humid and it just meant sleeping was that much easier. Bed linen was changed weekly and sets of towels could be provided at an additional cost. The balcony has stunning views but we were warned not to lean on the railing as it couldn't be guaranteed safe. There is no provision for a car, but frankly the public transport system in HK is superb and incredibly cheap, so there's no need for one. We all bought 'Octopus' cards which we topped up every so often. Basically, a no-frills, comfortable, clean apartment!
