Rooms: What guests say

188 relevant reviews

Rooms are repeatedly described as clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and spacious by Hong Kong standards, with comfortable beds, good showers, quiet interiors, and some attractive river or mountain views. However, some family/connecting rooms are extremely small; recurring concerns include cigarette or drain odors, carpet stains, cold rooms, dated furniture, and bathroom privacy or maintenance issues.

See the evidence
The apartment with river view (our favourite Room 1227) was spotlessly clean with ample shelves, storage cabinets, and wardrobe.
The room is labeled as a family room but it's extremely small for the price and there's no room to move around.
First room smelled of smoke even though it’s a non smoking property.
The room was spotless, thoughtfully equipped, and the bed wonderfully comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Staff: What guests say

186 relevant reviews

Guests most often describe staff as friendly, helpful, attentive, and professional, especially at reception, concierge, and housekeeping; several praise quick problem-solving and named employees. However, reviews also report impersonal or rude service, poor communication and limited explanations, plus rushed housekeeping with missed cleaning. Experiences vary considerably by department and employee.

See the evidence
The staff were friendly and helpful.
the staff were super friendly and helpful, they helped with information about the bus to the airport and even gave me HK$20 for the bus when the money exchange machine did not work
He's in the wrong job - no guest paying for a stay in a hotel needs to tolerate rude backchat from staff.
The cleaners just rush to get through to other rooms. We tested them by placing items behind the pillows. They didn’t even move the pillows; they told us they were rubbish at cleaning. The floors were not hoovered. Bathrooms not cleaned, just rushing to get to the next room.

Location: What guests say

166 relevant reviews

The hotel is in a quiet, greener Sha Tin setting with two MTR stations roughly 5–10 minutes away, airport buses nearby or at the entrance, and a frequent shuttle. It offers river, mountain, cycling and hiking access, local malls and eateries, but central Hong Kong and major attractions typically require 30–40 minutes by MTR.

See the evidence
The hotel is near a bus stop and there is a convenience store right downstairs, and two MTR stations about an eight-ten minute walk away, but otherwise there isn't a ton in the immediate vicinity.
Although it is a bit further away from the centre, it is very close to the station and easily can get into town within half an hour.
Airport bus stop right outside hotel made access via airport bus simple.
Nearby cycling tracks along rivers were very enjoyable, and we reached the Heritage Museum and Che Kung Temple easily.

Overall: What guests say

99 relevant reviews

Reviews repeatedly praise Alva Hotel’s cleanliness, modern design, comfort, friendly and responsive service, river views, transport access, laundry, and value. It suits Shatin events and quieter stays, though it is somewhat distant from central Hong Kong, prices can feel high, and some guests found service below five-star expectations.

See the evidence
Loved the view towards the river though this wasn’t an option I had chosen while booking.
The overall hotel is not bad, there is a 7-Eleven downstairs, and there is an airport bus that can be taken at the entrance. It may take 5 to 8 minutes on foot to the nearest subway station, and it is a bit far from the city center.
The room service was done everyday and towels changed everyday. Furnitures were all new and everything works well in the room.
This so-called 5-star hotel is disappointing. Nothing about this place feels worthy of five stars—definitely not worth the price.

Facilities: What guests say

100 relevant reviews

Guests repeatedly praise the clean, modern facilities, rooftop pool, gym, free bicycles, self-service laundry, water dispensers on every floor, and convenient 7-Eleven. Drawbacks include occasional pool closures, costly laundry, no bottled water or loan adapters, confusing elevators, worn carpets, limited changing rooms, and inconsistent shuttle availability.

See the evidence
Free bicycles, great dinner buffet with 50% discount for hotel guests, nice pool on the roof, convenient 7/11 on the ground floor.
The hotel does not provide bottled water, but there is a machine on each floor where you can refill your water bottle, which is a very good arrangement.
There’s a self-service laundry at level 3 which was extremely useful albeit a little pricey.
The elevator so confusing us, difficult to use at the first few days! they need to tell every customer how to use on arrival.

Breakfast: What guests say

97 relevant reviews

Breakfast reviews are mixed: many praise the extensive Asian and Western buffet, taste, and made-to-order eggs or noodles, while recurring criticisms cite repetitive, limited choices, weak Western and vegetarian options, inconsistent quality, poor coffee, and dishes running out. Several guests also report unexpected charges, including $40 per person and extra fees for children.

See the evidence
Excellent breakfast: extended hours, quality, and a very wide variety of buffet offerings.
The breakfast buffet is boring (same dishes every day) and offers little to no choices for western travelers.
Being a vegetarian I felt there was bare options when it came to food during breakfast.
I booked through Booking.com, breakfast included, however when I arrive for breakfast I was advised breakfast was not included and it was an additional $40 per person each day.

Transport: What guests say

57 relevant reviews

The A41 airport bus stops directly outside, making airport access easy and affordable. The nearest MTR stations are generally a manageable 5–10-minute walk, while free shuttles serve stations, shopping areas, and Shatin. However, the hotel is outside the center, journeys take 30–45 minutes, and shuttle frequency, hours, destinations, and reliability are recurring concerns.

See the evidence
The bus stop from HK Airport goes directly to the property when you take the A41, making the trip from the airport a breeze.
Convenient 8-10 minute walk to the nearest MTR station (Shek Mun or City One).
The free hotel shuttle was also very useful (if we timed it correctly) to get you to the Shek Mun station or other listed locations.
I used the shuttle bus to Shimen Station nearby, but on the way back it was late and they refused to let me on! I took a taxi home.

Pool: What guests say

44 relevant reviews

The rooftop pool is a recurring highlight, praised for cleanliness, maintenance, city or river views, and a quiet atmosphere; it is described as roughly 25–30 metres long. Frequent drawbacks include closure in winter, rain, thunderstorms, or maintenance, limited hours, advance reservations, and water that can be too cold or unheated.

See the evidence
Very nice swimming pool on the rooftop with a fantastic view over the city.
The swimming pool was basically good, not huge, but on the roof and relatively long, I estimate about 30 meters.
Pool is closed in rainy weather.
they didn't turn on the heated pool function and that's a disappointment; the whole time we stayed there, it's not hot Summer so we didn't actually use it much at all because it's not heated, heated pool is a part of the selling point / attraction (especially the night skylight view) to us.

Check-in / Check-out: What guests say

27 relevant reviews

Check-in and check-out are often described as smooth, quick, and welcoming, with some guests receiving early room access or late check-out. However, long queues of 30–45 minutes recur, and late check-out fees, an unexpected €240 deposit, payment restrictions, and one poorly handled Macau-ID incident caused frustration.

See the evidence
Check in took 45 mins due to a very long lines. seem the hotel didn’t have enough staff to do the check in
Arrived at the hotel before 11 AM, and they were even able to arrange immediate access to the room.
The hotel requires a deposit of €240 without any warning. It has been almost two months since I returned to Belgium and I still haven't been reimbursed.
I tried to check in with my Macau ID and she refused and said this is Hong Kong.
See all reviews about check-in / check-out

Restaurant: What guests say

27 relevant reviews

Hotel dining is repeatedly described as expensive, especially buffets and breakfast, with limited choices and mixed quality. The dinner buffet is also praised for extensive variety and luxury items, while Japanese and dim sum restaurants receive strong reviews. Bar and restaurant closing times are a recurring drawback, sometimes as early as 9–10 PM.

See the evidence
This Hotel also has one of the best All You could eat buffet in HK, evening meal is a must as the food variety is top class.
The buffet and the restaurant price were way too expensive and not worth the price.
Mizutani Japanese restaurant is very outstanding, I was very impressed by its high quality food, comfortable environment and excellent service.
We didn’t like the fact that the bars and restaurants seemed to close so early - we feel as a resident of the hotel we should have been able to purchase a drink at the bar at least until 01.00 am.

Gym: What guests say

27 relevant reviews

The gym is clean, bright, and well maintained, with towels, water, changing facilities, and some newer equipment; its top-floor location and views are recurring highlights, often alongside the pool. However, several guests find it small, with limited or mediocre equipment, insufficient stretching space, and no sauna or rowing machine.

See the evidence
very well equipped and bright gym with a fantastic view - I think I might have used this everyday.
adequate gym room (wish they had more equipment than just weights and running machine, but I know I can't expect too much).
Exercise room stretch area too small, this room need to be expanded.
The gym room provided towels and water and changing area.
