PHILLIP
February 4, 2024
If you want to be in the heart of things, The Mondrian is definitely in it. Bars and restaurants are steps away in all directions. The K11 mall is a short walk away, as is The Harbour Promenade. The MTR is about a 100 meters from the hotel entrance. The hotel itself is billed as a 5-star hotel; I found that to be wishful thinking. The lobby is spare, almost minimalist. We paid a premium for a larger room with what we assumed would be a "skyline" view, even requested a room with a view of the harbour. Instead, the view offered glimpses of the harbour. I will say that is was quite roomy and comfortable. The drawdown shades provided pitch darkness, which was too dark, because my girlfriend could have slept until and not realized it was daylight. ;-) The bathroom was also big with a nice powerful shower. However, I would expect a 5-star hotel to provide a couple of water bottles and not just a small water filtering machine that required guests to fill it up with tap water. I would expect a 5-star hotel to provide laundry services. And I'd expect better than a cheap U.S.$50 coffee machine. On a final note, the service staff were extremely friendly!
