We booked this hotel because it was one of the lower priced hotels we could find in Kowloon. There was some renovations going on when we stayed there, but nothing too noisy. The room was small, but that was expected in Hong Kong. The hotel is located near many shops and restaurants and is very close to a metro station. Overall this is a good choice if you have a tight budget in Hong Kong

I stayed at Hotel Benito for my Dec trip. It was just lovely. The room was clean and the bathroom was considered big. Though its a bit small, but it does not matter at all since we are always out. Most importantly, it has a very good location near to just everywhere - airport bus, train station, ferry terminal. And there are lots of shopping around. Within walking distance to lots of places. The staff were very helpful and accede to all our requests.

I would definitely stay at this hotel again for my next trip. Price is reasonable.

This was a wonderful hotel. Modern, very clean, and comfortable. Service was excellent. Location is extremely convenient; close to MTR and many restaurants, banks, etc.

My room was very small, but perfect for one person (single bed). The layouts are arranged in a way that makes excellent use of the space available. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Convenience!

My family took an Airbus from Hong Kong International Airport to Hotel Benito in Tsim Sha Tsui. It was just a 40min trip that cost us around HKD $33. We then took about 5mins to locate the hotel along Cameron Road. The hotel is very near the busstop!

We then travelled around Hong Kong on the MTR for our entire stay there as Hotel Benito is 5 to 10mins walk from the MTR. At times, we would cross the sea by boat. Getting to the harbour took us about 15 mins by foot. We planned for a day trip to Macau and had to get tickets at the Hong Kong - China Ferry Terminal which is also not far away from our hotel - 15 mins walk.

Shopping!

There are MANY boutique shops around our hotel. It is a shopping haven! We managed to grab some cheap bargains and sale items around the area :)

Clean Rooms!

The hotel is new and most importantly, clean and comfortable.

Though hotel rooms are relatively small, my 2 sisters and I manage to stay comfortably in a standard double room. An added value of this hotel is the lounge at level 2 where there is free wireless internet service. There are 2 laptops around for you to serve the net or play games or do whatever you want to do. If you would like a hot drink, there is a drink dispenser machine that serves coffee and hot chocolate. Or if you are feeling hot and want a cold drink instead, there are a variety of juices to choose from. :) We actually exploit the service by going there for a breakfast drink.

Our stay in Hong Kong was pleasant because of the hotel.

I personally enjoyed my stay with Hotel Benito a lot for the price that i am paying for. On side note, I find booking with a website is cheaper than booking directly with the hotel. Definitely will go back to stay with them again.

This is a great hotel. It is very modern, super clean, and less than a minute away away from Nathan Road, a taxi stand, the MTA and is easy walking distance to the Star Ferry. It does not serve food but there is a 24 hour Chinese restaurant on the next street and if you really must there is a 24 hour McDonald's less than a minute away plus many other restaurants. It has a nice lounge with juices, hot drinks and cookies as well as two laptops connected to the internet. The rooms are clean, have internet access, flat screen TV's and are very modern. The only negative may be the size of the bedroom. It is small, but the bathroom is good size and has a heated mirror which is a good thing to have in humid Hong Kong. We booked through asiatravel.com and paid HK$770 and HK$800 for Saturday night.

We booked the Benito through email directly through them and got a very decent rate, considering how expensive all the other hotels in HK were during our vacation.

We booked a standard double room and found it big enough for our needs, considering most people visit cities not hotel rooms. If you want huge American size hotel rooms look elsewhere.

As for our room, it was newly renovated with a surprisingly large bathroom with shower only. The bed was a little hard, but nothing you don't get used to after a night. There is a large in-room safe big to hold a laptop.

The hotel also has a lounge area with two laptops with free internet access. As well a hot beverage machine and some juices for when you are in the lounge.

Now what really allows this hotel excel is the location. It is virtually outside exit B2 of the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and a 5 minute walk away from the A21 Airbus stop. Also if you wish to walk down to the Star Ferry terminal and the waterfront it is a 10-15 minute walk at best.

There is also a 24-hour McDonalds across the street from the hotel and street food just down the street. There is much to recommend about the hotel and the location for those who wish to stay there when in Hong Kong.

for tourists, the location is super convenient! we paid $800/night for 7night stay,it was a fair price to pay. lots of eating places here and there. the relatively new hotel room was pretty small but since we did not plan to hangout in the room, it didn't matter. we had a clean room to rest in, take baths,etc. nothing more. the tv in our room didn't work well, we only had one working channel with poor reception. towards the end of our stay, around day 5 til we checked out,we noticed that the room hasn't been cleaned as efficiently compared to the past days.

the lady manager,monica, i think she was the only one who spoke english quite well, was rude and arrogant. however the more senior male manager was always pleasant and attentive.the staff although inexperienced really try to be of service to you, that is if your lucky enough to get the message across.

my daughter threw up one night, the guy who changed our sheets was muttering to himself quite loudly, he sounded annoyed and mad that we called for service. funny, as customers, don't we pay for their services?

you do get what you pay for. if you are not too "needy" maybe inferior service won't matter. but if you are a normal tourist who may have questions and may need service every now and then, you may be in for an ordeal.

if i rate solely on location, i'd be back again and book in this hotel with no doubt! if you take into account their service and increasing prices, i'd rather stay somewhere else.

Excellent central location.

Comfortable room, with a perfectly supportive bed.

Efficient and friendly service during our two-week stay.

We will certainly stay there again.

Hotel is newly opened in Nov & I had booked myself & my partner 7 nights from 23 - 30 Dec 07 at HKD600 per night. A great steal considering nearby hotels were as high as HKD1000+ per night.

Overall experience was good as location was a great contributor. Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station is just 2 mins away, roads were safe even if you return late at night. There's a famous franchise chain dessert shop across the street where you can get nice mango desserts.

For free & easy travellers, you may even tak the airport bus to the hotel (a 5 mins walk from bus stop to hotel).

Not so good part include the small lobby, wonky electricity. During my stay, the electricity will go off for a few seconds before coming back on. Water pressure in the shower room will also vary on some days. Size of bathroom is small with no bathtub but should be of no concern to most asians.

I would classify it as a no-frills hotel. Room is clean and new. Am aware that prices are going up so may not be such a good choice in the near future.

If you're looking for a hotel in a convenient location with a reasonable price, do consider this.
