I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts a spacious room that combines modern functionality with a touch of traditional Chinese flair. The location is fantastic, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, although the staff could be a bit more welcoming. The dining options were purely Chinese, and while they were decent, I would've preferred a bit more variety. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there's room for improvement in service and dining.

The hotel offers a great location, making it convenient to explore the vibrant neighborhood filled with shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and stylish, although I did encounter a window issue that left the space a bit warm. The dining options were basic and didn't quite meet my expectations. The service was a mixed bag; while the staff were friendly, communication was a challenge due to language barriers and some slow responses. Overall, it’s decent value for money considering the location, but it has its flaws.

I had a mixed experience at New Harbour Serviced Apartments. While the location was excellent with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and the convenience of booking was a plus, the smoking smell in the lobby and the dated appearance of the rooms were disappointing.
