Kimberley Hotel

The Kimberley Hotel is situated in a high-rise with a unique zigzagging facade and an entrance shared by jewelry shops and clothing stores. Built in 1990 as a luxury property, this hotel still offers some upscale elements, though the decor is on the dated side. Escalators, which travel past an indoor decorative pool with greenery, deliver guests to a spacious lobby with marble floors, a wood accent wall, and a small carpeted area with a few black leathery couches. Four elevators connect guests to the rooms or to the hotel's lobby bar and restaurant. While many guests agree that the property could use renovations, the hotel still offers functionality, plenty of property features, and an excellent location for a reasonable price. This hotel attracts a variety of visitors, from business guests to leisure travelers to families.

Located on the south end of the Kowloon Peninsula, the Kimberley Hotel is situated within the bustling tourist and shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui. This popular area is packed with shops, restaurants, and attractions. Guests can walk to upscale shopping areas including K11 (five minutes), The One (two minutes), and Harbour City Mall (18 minutes). Famous attractions are also in walking distance, such as the waterfront (10 minutes), Avenue of the Stars (14 minutes), Knutsford Terrace (two minutes), Kowloon Park (nine minutes), and the heritage buildings on Salisbury Road (12 minutes). The hotel is in close proximity to public transport, with both the MTR and buses a two-minute walk from the hotel, and the Star Ferry a 17-minute walk or nine-minute bus ride from the property. Hong Kong International Airport is about a half hour away by car or taxi. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus to and from the airport directly to the hotel, which costs an extra fee; it runs every 45 minutes during the day, and takes 45 minutes to an hour.

Guest rooms at the Kimberley Hotel vary in size and layout, ranging from 220-square-foot Standard Rooms to 500-square-foot Suites. Rooms are functional, though the decor is generic and somewhat dated, with bright blue wall-to-wall carpeting, beige walls, gold accents, and light wood furniture. Work desks, small wardrobes, nightstands, and bed frames are made of simple blond wood. Amenities include electric kettles for coffee and tea, small safes, flat-screen satellite TVs, air-conditioning, and minibars. Bathrooms are more contemporary with marbled tile and include shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and individual toiletries. Guests have had varying complaints including dated decor, musty smells, hard beds, or thin walls. Wi-Fi is available, but it costs a hefty extra daily fee. 

The Kimberley Hotel has three on-site restaurants: a Japanese restaurant with traditional decor, a Chinese restaurant, and the Coffee House restaurant, which hosts a daily breakfast, but it costs an extra fee. There's also a lobby bar. Guests of the hotel have access to the Club Cavalier Health Spa as well as a fitness center that has several cardio machines, free weights, and mirrored walls, but is located in a windowless room with little decor. A small business center offers free newspapers and a computer and printer for guest use, while two on-site event rooms can host meetings, seminars, or receptions for up to 250 people. Wi-Fi is available in the hotel, but costs a pricey extra daily fee. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, a bellhop, and offers airport transfers for an extra fee.
