I've been staying at Oriental Lander Hotel since 2008, and it's great to see that the service and overall vibe remain consistent over the years—really comfortable and reliable. During a recent visit, a typhoon prompted me to consider checking out early, but unfortunately the hotel couldn’t accommodate that request. If you're planning a trip where weather conditions might affect your plans, I’d strongly recommend adding a small travel protection plan (under $100) when booking—it’s a small price for peace of mind.

Despite that, the location is excellent, staff are friendly, and the value for money is outstanding. Definitely a place I’ll return to.
I’ve stayed at this hotel many times in the past, and after the pandemic, I decided to book again—happy to say it still delivers! The service was exceptional; they upgraded me to a double bed room without any extra charge. In Hong Kong’s tight space, having two huge beds is such a luxury—it made our stay so much more comfortable. The only minor downside? The air conditioning makes a bit of noise when running, so we just turned it off during autumn and winter and used a fan instead. Location-wise, it’s perfect—plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, plus a small park nearby for a relaxing stroll after dinner. Overall, fantastic value, warm hospitality, and a convenient spot. Definitely coming back!
