The first free tour in Hong Kong finally went smoothly!This time, we took our mother-in-law and mother to visit Hong Kong. We considered that the elders should go to the Hong Kong hotel near the subway under the physical strength of the elders. Therefore, on the suggestion of our colleagues, we stayed at the Pentahotel Hong Kong Kowloon at Diamond Hill Station. Not only was it newly opened in 2013, but the innovative hotel design also made us fascinated! (→price checking)
◎ How to get to the hotel in the city from Hong Kong Airport?
The Hong Kong Airport already has the Airport Express Line to connect to the subway in the urban area. It takes about 30 minutes from Hong Kong Airport Station all the way to the terminal Hong Kong. It is very convenient to transfer to other lines by stopping at Tsing Yi and Kowloon in the middle.As mentioned earlier, our trip to Hong Kong was due to the drawing of Evergreen’s single round-trip air ticket to Hong Kong at the end of last year. Finally we had the opportunity to plan and play well. This time we took my mother-in-law and mother to go together. It's hard work, so I took a taxi directly from the airport to the hotel. The fare was 258 Hong Kong dollars on arrival. It was acceptable for a four-person car. There was no need for the elders to drag and transfer luggage to and from the line with us.
◎ Pentahotel Hong Kong Kowloon is designed to incorporate Hong Kong cultural elements
When we arrived at the entrance of the hotel, we were attracted by the tall and spacious entrance. The upper layer of the board wave showed the fine workmanship, supplemented by the calm gray black and white three-color floor tiles, which made me feel that this is an interesting hotel and I am looking forward to it.In addition, the on-site service staff wore black shirts and blue cotton trousers to greet the guests one by one to enter and direct the traffic. Every time we went out to take the hotel shuttle, their service was also cordial and courteous, which immediately gave full marks.
The public facilities inside the hotel are mainly based on black, beige and red bricks. The texts and patterns on the walls are presented in the form of wall stickers. Sometimes, when you see the text in the corner, you can also smile with your heart.From Building G to the first floor, there are many seats and play facilities. I can understand that when the hotel has to deal with a large number of guests, it must rely on these spaces to transform the crowds. The interior space is made of leather chairs, dim yellow tones, and pool tables to bring out the sense of tide, which is the love of young people. For the two mothers who traveled with us, the design elements only felt like "How can I squeeze a piece of black?" (laughs)
※ List of inside and outside the hotel
▲ The wooden laminate above is a heavy-duty design. It is very difficult to make each layer of arc smooth and construct an ellipse.
▲ This is mainly for reception, and you need to go upstairs to go through check-in procedures.
▲ At the pizza shop on the first floor, the aroma is overflowing every time you dine.
▲ The hotel is full of fashion and trend. Even after returning to the hotel, you can go downstairs to chat and drink with friends.
▲ There are also great equipment for children and big friends to have fun here.
▲Ready to go to check in!
◎ The trendy food street, to satisfy the taste buds of our tourists from afar with the delicious Hong Kong food!
Four iPads are placed at the counter of the Kowloon Penta Hotel to display hotel-related facilities. When we check in, we need to sign and fill in guest information. All of them are operated on the iPad, which can save paper and simplify the entire check-in process. The service staff are quite young, and the processing speed is very fast. When communicating with us in Mandarin, they have a little familiar tone, but they feel kind.Although it was not like a Thai hotel immediately offering welcome drinks and hand towels, we still gave us four drink coupons after the completion of the process, which can be used when dining in the street food street.
We did not order breakfast when we booked the room. The service staff explained that if necessary, we can order at a discounted price of 100 Hong Kong dollars per person (original price 185 baht). I only ate a small box of minced rice noodles on the plane that day, dragging my husband and two mothers. Let's go to Chaozhou Food Street for lunch first. There are not too many guests to dine. It is a great lunch time.
There are a lot of Hong Kong-style meals in the Chaozhou Food Street. You and I often eat Chumaian Yidian, Cantonese porridge, roasted meat, western toast, etc. Drinks also include frozen lemon tea, mandarin duck milk tea, etc. The price is slightly compared with Taiwanese tea restaurants. It's a bit more expensive, but this is a restaurant affiliated with the hotel, and the price difference between the two places is understandable.I ordered the meat before the meal, and my mother-in-law ordered the porridge. They all thought it was delicious, so I also recommend it for your reference.
▲ The counter staff explained the check-in procedure on the iPad, Cool!
▲ I like this bar very much myself, come to have a drink at night~ it's so enjoyable.
▲ There are 230 seats in the Chaozhou Food Street, so don't worry about long queues for breakfast.
▲ Follow upstairs to take a look at the room equipment!
◎ Pentahotel Hong Kong Kowloon has a total of 695 rooms, divided into three types:
1. Penta room (standard room): 22㎡, about 6.6 pings
2. Penta plus (superior room): 22㎡, about 6.6 pings
3. Penta grand (deluxe room): 44㎡, about 13.3 pings
The room type we choose to stay in is Penta plus (superior room) double bed room type. Since the hotel floor is as high as the 32nd floor, when making a reservation, please note that you want a higher floor. I hope you can see the beauty of Hong Kong’s night city. You can also make a note when making a reservation. Oh!Generally speaking, the room space is not as small as I imagined. When I checked a Hong Kong hotel before, I was mentally prepared to be the same as a Japanese business hotel. When I opened the door, I found a suitable space without being overcrowded, which was a surprise when I checked in.
Usually when you come back to the hotel, you will need to use your mobile phone, iPad or computer to surf the Internet. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi and you can surf the Internet in the room. It is very convenient for me. You can share today’s trip on FB or fan groups. I feel that, secondly, you can also use Youtube to listen to music and relax. The internet speed is quite fast.
One last reminder is that Hong Kong and Taiwan have different voltages and sockets. Remember to bring a universal socket. If you forget to bring it, the hotel does not provide a free loan service. You can buy it from Building M. A universal socket costs 60 Hong Kong dollars.This time we brought swimsuits. Unfortunately, because of the slightly cooler weather, the hotel has not yet opened the swimming pool for guests to use, but I found that their facilities are pretty good. Next time I come to Hong Kong, I will still want to stay at the Penta Hotel in Kowloon.
※ List of rooms and public facilities
▲ We and mother-in-law are in two rooms next to each other, and they are in opposite directions.

▲A full range of bath products.
