The Emperor Happy Valley Hotel

I was pleasantly surprised by this charming, clean, classic British style little boutique type hotel. The location for me was perfect. The staff was wonderful. The daily complimentary breakfast was good enough for me (I'm a vegetarian). Overall, I am very happy with my choice. The poor behaviour of the CHinese people from China. I can tell the visitors from China are really not your worldly travellers and acted very badly. Make sure you ask for non-smoking room, you might be able to avoid the mainland Chinese as your neigbors because they are all smokers.

The room service was excellent. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were helpful and spoke excellent English. This, to my knowledge, is the only hotel in Hong Kong which includes breakfast and service charge. The hotel location was not too bad although nothing touristy around the vicinity as Happy Valley is a residential suburb. i.e. lots of estate agents, a convenience store down the road. However, it only cost us about HKD30 by taxi to get to the city from the hotel which is reasonable. From the airport to the hotel, a taxi costs about HKD320 which is also not too bad. We got room service for lunch on one of the days we stayed there and they went the extra mile to prepare vegetarian meals for us which we were very pleased with. :) 9/10 The mattress in our room was very hard, however, cannot really complain as we were only there for 2 nights and the whole package was excellent value for money. The carpet was slightly stained and very little water was coming out of the shower, so not exactly a power shower BUT all in all, it is a great package if you're just there for up to a week. I would rate it as 4*.

Helpful staff, good quiet location

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly which made our stay much easier.
