Citadines Ashley Hong Kong - feedback

Hi there,

We just returned from staying at the Citadines which we found excellent for what we wanted. There were 3 of us, a couple and a teenager and we had an Exec Studio.

It wasn%26#39;t the largest room/studio but seriously cleverly appointed. We like to get out and about so the room for us is just for sleeping etc... on this basis - this is a sensational place to stay. very clean, very handy - 2 min walk from Tsim Sha Sui station, more of a serviced apartment than a hotel room. Free internet - also very handy. Not a large place but excellent in most ways.

Only issue: the master bed - really really really hard. Couch was comfy reported the teenager.

In terms of western meals - fast food:

Delifrance close by, as is McDonalds and a great Chinese style bakery around the corner if you want a quick breakfast on the go.

We booked via bookings.com which provided the best rates - which we found via tripadvisor%26#39;s search engine so I recommend this comparison search highly.

Oh - difference between Premium Studio and Exec Studio is that premium has a bath - in case that is important to you as they don%26#39;t really distinguish this on the various sites.

Hope this helps!

Hi Miss MD,

Thanks for posting the feedback on Citadine Ashley.

I have booked 2 studio rooms for 27 Mar. Was kind of worried abt the long walk from MTR station as i%26#39;m with a child. Good to have choices of food around the corner for breakfast.

Thanks.

Belinda

Hey MissMD!

I am looking to book at the citadines early April, but my biggest concern is I hear that there is a building opposite that has been knocked down and being rebuild - which is causing a LOT of noise. Can you let me know if this is the case? Is it hard to sleep, etc.? Would really appreciate your feedback :)

Seperate to that, I read some of your other post ..

I%26#39;m planning to head to Shenzhen for a couple of days to do a bit of pampering massages and food, any recommendation??

Thanks heaps!

Hi there,

Noise apart from the usual HK noise was not an issue at all. Just checked with hubby and he said he didnt hear any construction noise at all.

Happy to recommend a few places in Shenzhen - especially shops in Lowu. If you could let me know what kind of stuff you are after, I%26#39;m happy to give you shop numbers to visit within the complex. I collected business cards from all stores and wrote info on their cards i.e good price, price for item etc... Best advice before you head there is to pick up a copy of Shopping in Shenzhen from the book store in Kowloon which is above the Bally shop across from the Peninsula on Nathan Road. Its across from the Australian Outback restaurant (which was also pretty good!). There is another Shopping in Shenzhen book, which is blue and I was going to buy BUT the red Shopping in Shenzhen was so recommended I didnt hesitate in buying it. It was very very helpful i.e.contains a map of the Lowu Commercial centre, gives tips on where to shop, what to pay for various things (price ranges) etc...

Let me know if you are after something specific!

Belinda,

The walk to the MTR is only a few minutes at the most.

Hi Miss D

We have an early morning flight from HongKong - 8am. do you think Citadines Ashley would be suitable in terms of getting an early morning bus/train to the airport? I am really struggling to find out this information and the links from the tripadvisor %26#39;getting around%26#39; page seem to be obsolete.

Thanks heaps for youre quick reply and info!!

You have no idea how long I%26#39;ve been trying to source an answer re noise at the citadine!

Regarding Shenzhen, we%26#39;re after everything :)

So will hunt in HK that book you recommend first!

That said, do you any particular good shops for:

i. causal male shoes

ii. fake mont blanc stuff

iii. handbags

Much appreciated!

Miss MD-thank you for sharing with us your staying experience in Citadines Ashley.

Ponaire:- in relation to getting a transport from/around this hotel to the airport,of which you have a outbound flight at 0800hrs.

Well,you could have these options:-

a). Bus:- Route # A21,take from outside of Tsim Sha Tsui Mansion,which is on Nathan Road.The bus stop is outside here,before Haiphong Road.

during your stay, you will see that Ashley Road(where Citadines Ashley is located on) is parallel to Hankow Road,and Hankow is perpendicular to haiphong Road.

Okay,A21 service starts at 0530hrs from Hung Hom,so I suggest be at the bus stop outside of Tsim Sha Tsui mansion by 0535hrs.

To reach this bus stop, from your hotel, head South towards Peking Road,then turn left to go on Peking Road,then turn left at Nathan Road,and Tsim Sha Tsui Mansion is on your left,where bus stop for A21 is.

Bus journey duration from here to airport is approximately 50minutes. Bus fare is HKD33.00.

The walk from your hotel to this bus stop should be under 8minutes.

b). Airport Express-the first AE from Kowloon station is at 0553hrs to HKIA. Journey time is around 25minutes.Fare on AE:- HKD90.00.You can take a taxi from your hotel to AE Kowloon station which should be under 10minutes.

Thank you so much - that information has been a great help!

Noise wise across Ashley apartments.... if the construction is not at the stage of laying the foundation into the ground anymore, the noise would be minimal. Also, with the latest economical development, you would notice a number of sites have halted their building plans.

Hard to say when it would be noisy, test your luck.
