California Hotel (Hong Kong, Hong Kong)

The overall cleanliness of this hotel was widely praised by guests, who were pleased to find both their units as well as this property's communal spaces nice and tidy.

This small hotel was extremely popular with budget travellers looking for basic accommodation in the wider Hong Kong area. Those who had the best overall experience here were those after simple stays in a central location.

Guests spoke very highly of this property's location, which is perhaps its best selling point. Situated directly on Nathan Road, this hotel put guests within excellent proximity of a number of shopping opportunities as well as just steps away from the Tsim Tsa Shui Mass Rapid Transit station. This particular point made for very easy access to the sights of the wider Hong Kong area.

Located on the fourth floor of residential apartment block with no exterior signage, many new arrivals struggled to locate this hotel. Upon entering, most were disappointed to note that, despite its name, this property had an indefinable hostel-like feel.

Many commented that, even for Hong Kong, the size of their units was disconcertingly small, however bathrooms in particular were noted to be incredibly awkward. Shower fixtures were directly adjacent to toilet units, with absolutely no barriers. This meant that many actually had to sit on the toilet in order to wash.Also, noise was very problematic here, with many guests disturbed by others talking in adjacent units.

This property's reception team could be friendlier; many reported surly, grumpy service upon check-in.
