Review: Benito Hotel, Hong Kong

Assalamualaikum!

Sorry for the long silence, been carried away with life matters. Somehow, I guess I've lost the passion to write and where has all the passion gone? Whatever it is, let's continue with the not-so-fabulous-review-writing.

HOTEL BENITO (Click me!)

Okay, what's up with this hotel? First thing first, Hong Kong is known for its high-rises city and accommodation is one of the biggest expense to consider when travelling to Hong Kong. And, we, without doing further study about Hong Kong, bought a flight ticket for 5 days during the most busy and peak season while only few months left before the trip..luckily we don't go for more days since most of the hotel are fully booked. Apartments are done, hotels were mostly full and where should we stay?

Alhamdulillah, Benito has come to the rescue where they still have vacant rooms for 5 to 6 people and seeing from its price-wise and location-wise, we definitely gonna go for it. We would strongly recommend for you to book directly from their website since the price are wayyy cheaper than those offered by the agents. To spice things up, Benito offers more facilities to guests whom went through their website such as free breakfast, unlimited wifi and access to their lounge - completes with tidbits, juices and free refill of instant coffee and tea. Doesn't that makes you happy? As a Muslim, we can't just simply dine anywhere and having a free flow of hot chocolate drink after a tiring day really help us.  

Let me tell you something, their wifi were superbly fast and the location is good. I would say, if you're coming from the airport, both MTR (Tsim Sha Tsui station, Exit B2) and airport bus (A21) are convenient since the MTR station and bus station are just miles away from the hotel. You can ask for special arrangement with the hotel but it is advisable for you to just take a train or bus since it's cheaper.

Please do not expect something lavish when you book this hotel as this is not a 4 star or even 3 star hotel. For us, as long as it pays the price and worthy, we are more than satisfied. We book a room for 6 people and we get a 3 queen size bed with a partition that separate the beds and we called it a space for privacy, together with a separate shower and toilet. It is really comfy, spacious and clean too. Oh, we met other Malaysian staying at this hotel so do expect to meet fellow Malaysian in this hotel.

I'm bad at taking good toilet photos.. 

See? Separate shower and toilet

1st queen bed with partition. Extra privacy, isn't it?

2 queen beds on another partition side

Call it lounge, call it cafe, call it anything you like

Business center on each lounge corner

Last but not least, you'll get best price if you book early and fret not, their receptionist able to speak just the perfect amount of English. Oh, not to forget, to my fellow Muslims, you can perform your prayer at the Kowloon Mosque or dine anywhere nearby as Tsim Sha Tsui are famous for its halal restaurants. 

Attraction places are just around the corner but still, expect some tiring walking to these places:

• Nathan Road
• Kowloon Mosque
• Kowloon Park
• Jordan Road
• Avenue of Stars
• Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade
• Symphony of Light
• Park Lane Boulevard
• Mira Hotel (in case if you're looking for a hotel)
• Imperial Hotel (in case if you're looking for a hotel)
• BP International Hotel (in case if you're looking for a hotel)

Got to go! Thanks for staying with us! Happy reading and happy holiday!

p/s: Reminder to those staying at this hotel. Benito Hotel's entrance located at the junction of Cameron Lane. You might miss their entrance, so please look for pharmacy or Tissot Watch Shop if I'm not mistaken. Peace!

Will this time be different? Change your attitude but don't lose yourselves.
