Some distance away from tourist areas but underground convienient.

This is a hotel that you really appreciate when you stay at another hotel. Everything is perfectly designed and the service is exceptional. Our room was average size for an Australian hotel, but reasonably large when compared to other hotels in HK. We had a great view of the harbour and markets below from our Club Room.

The assortment of cheeses, canapes, french Mumm champagne, a wide selection of beers and soft drinks and ample internet access was well worth the upgrade to the club room. Beers and wine etc are available for most of the day, while the champagne and a selection of spirits are only available for a couple of hours after 6PM.

At the last minute, we wanted to visit a particular restaurant at the habour and asked the concierge to book a table for two. When we arrived, the concierge had arranged for us to be seated in a prime window seat overlooking the HK skyline, and had organised a free glass of wine each.

The 6PM market tour was very useful and interesting, and was a great introduction to the Mongkok area. We felt completely safe in the area surrounding the hotel. The location is great for both food and shopping trips. One off the best meals we ate was at a local restaurant near the Temple Street Night Markets that served a selection of meat and rice dishes cooked in clay pots over a fire.

While slightly more expensive than Australian Hotels of around the same standard, this hotel offers excellent value in Hong Kong.

I would definitely recommend the Langham Place Mongkok to anyone visiting HK for business or holiday travel.

We stayed at Langham Place for four nights to kick start our big tour.

The hotel was pretty swanky, and a massive contrast to the hustle and bustle of Mong Kok where it is located. We actually loved being a bit further out for the centre - it took about half an hour to walk down to the harbour, but it meant we explored the back streets and saw more than just the standard tourist sights.

Staff at Langham Place were lovely and went out of their way to help, giving us maps of the city, telling us about all the NY activities, what to see and when to go - even drawing recommended restaurants onto our map so we could find them easily.

The room was spacious with a queen sized bed, nice big TV and every mod con you could wish for. The bathroom was a good size and well equipped with bath and shower - although a rather dodgy glass wall linked the bathroom to the bedroom - not for the the 'shy' traveller!

A good size gym was available free of charge on one of the top floors, with just about every piece of equipment you could need, plus a pool and a spa.

Breakfast was not included in the room rate, but we ate in the hotel restaurant for a dim sum lunch. The food was good, prices reasonable and a lovely setting, and the staff were falling over themselves to help.

There is also a mall attached to the hotel which is rather strange but good for a walk around to hold off jet lag - there's a cinema on one of the floors too which shows English movies, and a supermarket on the ground floor for groceries.

Overall a good stay, would recommend and go back.

First, let me assuage any fears guests might have about the Langham Place being in a "bad" location. While there are a couple of dilapidated apartment towers nearby that aren't pleasing on the eyes, at no point did my wife or I have any fears about our safety while being out and about on the streets nearby. Probably the only reason this hotel is not more expensive is because it is further up the Kowloon peninsula (in Mong Kok) than other hotels. This is easily overcome by the fact that the hotel is connected to a really nice mall that has a MTR (subway) station. Hong Kong's MTR system is great for getting around, and if you need to be somewhere quick, the taxis are cheap. The mall that is connected to the hotel has a nice food court and even a small little supermarket if you want to stock up with water and snacks so that you're not paying minibar prices back in your room.

Very friendly front desk staff (gladly made change) and helpful concierge (got us reservations at Hutong-great view, disappointing food and Deerpark =best Peking Duck ever) for dinner. We booked the slightly larger "executive" room (330 sq. ft) and found it to be just fine, especially considering many reviews of Hong Kong hotels note the small size. As some people mention, the bathroom has a see through window to the bedroom, but you can pull down some shutters if you need privacy. Bed was comfy, room was very clean. You can definitely tell it is a newer hotel. We never made it to the roof top pool as there is just a ton to do in Hong Kong.

Also, the breakfast buffet is, although not cheap, absolutely fantastic, better than what I've had in Beverly Hills. In short, I would stay here again without hesitation.

As usual, I scanned tripadvisor.com thoroughly before settling on a hotel for our hong kong trip, as there a lot of new hotels since I went in 2001. Langham Place stood out in the reviews and I booked via opodo.com for an Essential Place room at £121 prpn, which seemed a good deal for a 5* hotel in the centre of Kowloon.

The staff are polite to a fault, no request is too much trouble and my pregnant wife was treated like a princess! We were offered an upgrade to a Residence Suite, basically an Essential Place room with a sitting room and bar area. As a treat I went for it and have no regrets as breakfast was thrown in, free internet access for my laptop, and we were on the 36th floor, almost directly opposite the L Club (the exclusive hotel lounge). This meant a 30 second walk for unlimited coffee, tea and soft drinks! It also has an internet den and its own great group of staff.

We had breakfast on the first day downstairs which was very good, but after trying the breakfast at L club we weren't going anywhere else! How can you argue with cooked breakfast on your doorstep, with excellent service and a real air of exclusivity, not to mention fantastic views.

Particular mention goes to the Chuan spa on floor 41, wonderful massage rooms and treatments, changing rooms include a heated whirlpool bath, but this is all topped off with the huge heated swimming pool on the roof. It was not particularly warm in HK in January, so jumping into a heated pool was heaven!

There's no doubt where we would stay when we return to HK, we looked around at some other hotels and for atmosphere and service, I highly recommend the Langham Place.

As with every hotel we stayed in in HK, the service from the moment you car pulls up is exemplary. Your bags will be lifted out of the car for you and that's the last you'll see of them until they are brought to you room. A word of advice is not to turn up around midday as that is when everyone else is checking out and there is usually a queue at the regular reception.

We went for a 'Prime Place' room which is slightly more expensive than the Essential Place rates. You only appear to be able to book this via LP's own website but basically it is on an 'Essential Place' floor but is an end semicircular room so it has panoramic 180° views of the city. We were on the 30th floor and at night the vista was breathtaking (see photo.) We immediately paid an extra $550HK per night to upgrade to Club facilities. But I'll get onto that in a minute. The room has a Plasma TV with a variety of channels, many in English. You also get a colour printer/copier which you are free to use if you have a laptop etc. The bed was very comfortable with high count linen and LOTS of pillows - you can request a preference of what type of pillow you get which is a nice touch. There's also a desk, and armchair and a chaise longue.

The marbled bathroom has a separate bath and walk in shower. The shower has a regular head and a rainwater one coming out of the ceiling. The bathroom was very clean and has clearly been modernised recently. Slippers and dressing gowns are provided too and there were a selection of Molton Brown (I think) toiletries provided.

Also in the room is a mini kitchen with a microwave and sink. There is a wooden panel you can pull across which covers all this up if you don't want to use it. The minibar is expensive with small bottles of water at $45HK (approx £4.50). There are bottles dotted around the room so beware. The exact same bottles of water are available from the 7-11 across the road (and 30 floors down) for approx 42 pence! so nip out and replace any you drink!

Club facilities - $550HK or £55 a day extra approximately.

Club rooms are a little higher up floorwise and the Club lounge is on the 36th floor. Basically if you book a Club Room it is the same as an Essential Place size and spec but with the club benefits. We added the club benefits afterwards as mentioned above for a number of reasons. The benefits are:

1. Free wireless and wired internet. This was going to cost us $120HK per day PER COMPUTER if we'd booked it as normal in the room! With Club, even though it says to the contrary on the printed info, you can connect more than one laptop to the wireless and it's included in your Club package - we asked and we connected two and there was no extra charge. Also, as it won't tell you this in the information, once you've paid your Club upgrade, you just sign up and agree to the payment on the website and they deduct the charge from your bill - took us a while to work this out.

2. Free use of the Club Lounge. Here you can help yourself to free drinks and an ever changing choice of hot and cold snacks whilst relaxing in comfy chairs taking in the views of madness of Mongkok below. There are also two great big electric massage chairs facing a large aquarium if you need to de-stress! The drink selection is good with 5 or 6 choices of bottled beers, two or three different red and white wines, sparkling wine and even champagne between 6-8pm. All the soft drinks you can imagine and a huge automatic hot drinks machine which does cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolates etc. The hot and cold food platters were replaced continually and were very good. A couple of people spending an hour in this lounge will justify the cost of it in one go!

3. Free breakfast in either the Lounge (which we didn't try) or 'The Place' main restaurant at the lobby level. The breakfast here was awesome. Again this made the Club charge worth it on it's own. Huge buffet with cereals, yoghurts, toast, a melon and tropical fruit bar, deli cheeses and meats. Also a hot food section where you could order your choice of eggs from the attentive chef and help yourself to hash browns, sausages, bacon, beans and a variety of other Chinese style things like turnip cakes etc... Coffee, Tea and juices were free flowing by the always excellent waiting staff.

4. You can check in and out in the Club lounge in comfort rather than the melee in the lobby.

We had a visit from Andrew the housekeeper who was on call at any time to help us with any room problems (of which there were none.) We ate at the in hotel Chinese restaurant called Ming Court which was fantastic. They helped with our choices and for two people with wine, a few courses and desert it came to $1450HK (£145) which was not bad as it was fine dining and was clearly very popular with the locals.

The hotel is located in Mongkok, Kowloon which is apparently the most highly populated area in the world based on people per square kilometer. You can see why, there are hundreds of high rise blocks with the old crumbling ones adjacent to the brand new modern ones. A few streets across from the hotel is Tung Choi Street, better known as Ladies Market. This is about 500m long and like a narrow lane with loads of markets stalls selling fake bags, clothes, watches etc. We walked round here by day and night and never felt unsafe as there are always loads of people everywhere. You can walk it in 5 minutes.

That's about it. There are taxis always waiting outside the hotel and they're all regulated and pretty cheap. The Langham Place shopping centre is joined directly to the hotel lobby and there is a food court right where you enter if you need your Starbucks fix! There's plenty of shops in here over 14 odd floors but it's Q expensive as was everything we found in HK that wasn't fake. Don't expect to come back laden with electronics and i-Phones. They were all much more expensive than the UK (the cheapest i-phone I saw was approx £500!)

The room decor is modern. The hotel is connected to Langham Place Shopping mall and Mongkok station.

The Hong Kong style cafe behind the hotel has good food.

A great place to stay when you don't have much time. We arrived at lunchtime on one day and were leaving the following evening en route to Sydney. Loved the location and easy access to the markets. We spent a good couple of hours just exploring the local area. If you want to go further access to the underground is two mins walk.

We stayed in a suite (which I calculated as a good deal before the pound sank without trace!) and had access to the Club lounge. The views from the lounge are magic and it is a delight to chill here when you have checked out your room and have an evening flight. Suite was really good and a really comfy bed.

The roof top pool is also fab and a great place to take pics.

We booked the airport tranfer which was stunningly efficient, even with two large suitcases and two sets of golf clubs) and made the whole experience pretty effortless.

All in all very pleased with the hotel

Langham Place was quite simply the best hotel I have ever stayed in. From beginning to end this stay was an absolute pleasure. The room, which was on the 38th floor, had a stunning view over the city, and whilst not of the Hong Kong Island, was amazing as it looked over the typically Hong Kong Tower Blocks of Kowloon and beyond. The room was well presented and quite spacious, very modern with every thing you could need. The hotel facilities were fantastic, including a roof top pool again with more great views of the city. The breakfast was delicious, really varied and well worth the price. Every member of staff we came into contact with was polite efficient and very helpful. The concierge was knowledgable and helpful throughout. I simply cannot recomend this hotel highly enough and it fully deserves it's top spot on this list. Compared with the prices of some Hong Kong hotels further down the top 10, this hotel is an absolute steal.

Do not be put off by the fact that this hotel is in Mongkok and not straight on the harbour front. This makes the experience all the better as you actually see more of what the real Hong Kong is all about. It is a bustling and lively area with various markets round about. The concierge runs a tour of the local area that lasts about 45 mins each night. It's free so don't miss it. There is a metro station nearby and can be reached within 2 minutes of leaving the hotel, either by weaving through the floors of the adjacent shopping mall (look out for the huge escalator - I've never seen anything like it) or by walking out of the front door and going round the corner.

Whilst we were there the hotel was pretty full due to Typhoon Nuri, as many flights in and out of Hong Kong were cancelled. However the hotel never seemed crowded.

We arrived at the hotel by shuttle car that we organised from the hotel's desk in the arrivals hall at the airport. It was pretty reasonable and almost as cheap as local taxis.

Check in was quick and efficient. The rooms are pretty small compared to some i've stayed in but it's more than big enough for 2. The room was modern, spotlessly clean and had a fantastic view from the huge window. The window seat is also a great idea so you can admire the view easily, although if you have fear of heights, perhaps this would be best avoided.

The bathroom was of a reasonable size and the shower was fantastic. The toiletries were good quality and plentiful.

Breakfast was great with a good slection of Western and Asian dishes. We ate in the hotel a couple of nights due to there being nothing else open in the typhoon. The Chinese restaurant was good quality and the service good. The buffet was also very plentiful, with 2 or 3 cooking stations.

The bar was sleek and modern and served good snacks. We felt it was reasonably priced too.

The pool was fantastic. Looking down on the city from 43 floors up whilst lounging by the pool was great. The attendants were good and towels were plentiful. Although we didn't use the gym, the facilities certainly looked extensive. Also didn't use the spa.

Checking out was also very quick and efficient.

This hotel is great and deserves it's high position in Tripadvisor's list.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE STAFF OF THE LANGHAM PLACE MONGKOK (LPM). You made this our best hotel stay ever. Everyone –from Pink in reservations, to the three or four different consierges we spoke to, to the room staff, to the checkout receptionist- was over the top. LPM did not only meet expectations; but, it exceeded those big time.

In addition to the above, the results from this LPM experience can be described as moving. Thank you to the designer of the rooms and the staff for the common sense, versatility, and kindness in everything and in the service.

Also, thank you to everyone who wrote in Tripadvisor and/or posted videos in YouTube. That information enabled us to maximize our experience. Again, LPM did not only meet expectations; but, it exceeded those big time.

From 39,000ft above the Pacific Ocean, at -77F or -61C, and at 1081km/hr or 672mi/hr, THANK YOU VERY MUCH LPM.

Booked Langham Place after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not dissapointed. We took a club room and while it costs a wee bit more, I reckon its good value. We ate breakfast every morning in The Place and they offer a good variety which should cover all tastes. We ate a hearty breakfast which kept us going until evening and its included in the room price. Club privilages also includes wireless internet access and use of the spa and rooftop pool. Laying in the hot tub looking out over the Hon Kong skyline is brill. Club L access gives you breakfast, afternoon tea, light snacks, soft drinks and some of the hard stuff between 6 and 8, so I think upgrading to club actually saves money

The staff are very professional and helpful without being over intrusive. The Mong Kok MTR station is a couple of hundred yards away the otherside of the mall which makes getting around very easy.

I would recommend Langham Place to anyone and we will definately be back next time in Honkers.

Langham Place Hotel is highly recommended. The only downside is the distance from Star Ferries, however it is well located in Nathan Road (Above an underground Station) - Excellent for shopping both in Malls and markets - some tourist some local.

If possible stay in the "Executive levells" Free drinks and snaks

as well as all the services tourists and business persons need. Having stayed in many hotels around the world my wife and I rate

the Langham Place (there is another Langham in Nathan Rd. - Good but older )as our favorite. Impossible to fault. Staff, rooms, service, meals etc we found to be well above average even other so called 5 Star Hotels, Search deals on the Langham web-site

for the best rates.

Langham was the first stop on a mont long trip for us and we loved it! After reading reviews on this site we went ahead and booked it and were not dissappointed. Although not on the main hong kong island there are plenty of shop and restaurants in the area - the shopping mall that is literally attached to the hotel is great to have on the door step.

The staff are friendly, rooms clean and very comfortable and the swimming pool and gym on the top floor are fantastic.

fantastic location! (Mongkok)

the bathrooms were excellent and the cleanliness immaculate!

one of the best I've stayed at in Hong Kong

From our first enquiry email to the moment we checked out of the property, the Langham Place Hotel was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We loved the great location, attached to the shopping mall and to the MTR station, yet in the middle of the real Hong Kong once you step outside. The ladies markets and some great electronics stores at your doorstep.

We travelled with our 2 children. We stayed 5 nights in a quad room, which was still spacious even though it had both a queen and a king size bed in it. Lovely rain shower and nice clean bathroom, plenty of amenities. The service was great, we arrived at 1.30pm, our room was not ready until 3pm but they offered us a free drink in the bar in the meantime. Breakfast was included in our room rate and this was an unbelievable spread of great quality food. The service was always friendly and courteous. Also loved the branding, every bit of stationery has this quirky logo on it, you'll see it when you get there. We would definitely stay here again when back in Hong Kong.

All the employees where helpful and friendly. The room lived up to expecations and was great value for the high quality. A little problem with the internet connection was soon fixed. Excellent room service. My short stay concluded with the duty manager escorting me personally to my taxi. Could not have asked for better treatment.

The location is great, close to the MTR or a short taxi ride to get to Hong Kong island. The local area has a great HK asmosphere with street markets, regular shopping, and an upmarket shopping mall with cinemas and restaurants.

Just a short taxi ride from Kowloon Station. All my expectations where met if not exceeded, and would recommend without hestitation for a stopover in HK and I am sure would work well for a longer stay.
