Take note their highest-priced Urban Studios are located on the 1st floor. Although the interior finishes were newly renovated, these rooms' fresh air intake is very close to the street level. We stayed a total of 7 nights and ended up changing rooms 3 times (all Urban Studios) because of cigarette smoke, sewer smells and restaurant grease exhaust being sucked into the rooms from street level. There were either staff taking breaks around midnight or guests who smoked before bedtime, so it was a nightly routine that cigarette smell would fill the room. By 9am every morning, the room would smell of grease exhaust from the bakeries and restaurants nearby. The only way to somewhat alleviate the odours was to crank up the air conditioner, which as others mentioned, does not provide heating in the winter. Expect strong cold drafts all over the room while sleeping. In addition, the rooms have exposed ceilings and as others mentioned, water flowing through the pipes can be heard throughout the night. There were also some loud bangs heard in the middle of the night which we suspected came from an in-house commercial laundry or garbage pickup. Floors and showers were generally clean, but not the platforms for the mattresses and large window sills. Take note the hotel is located in one of the oldest areas of Hong Kong Island. There are lots of tradeoffs for being located close to food and shopping in Causeway Bay. Multiple towels had holes in them.
