Bottom Line

The 240-room Silka Far East Hotel is a mid-range property located in the heart of Tsuen Wan, near the border of the Kowloon District. The hotel is right next to City Landmark (a popular shopping center) and Tak Wah Park; Tseun Wan MTR station and Sam Tung Uk Museum are under a 10-minute walk away. A free shuttle bus offers guests transportation around town. The rooms here are simple and small with wall-mounted flat-screen TVs and modern bathrooms with walk-in showers. Some rooms don't have windows while others have big windows letting in lots of natural light. Extra amenities in the hotel are limited, but include a daily breakfast buffet (for a fee), computer corner, meeting spaces, and free Wi-Fi. Those who want to be closer to the action should check out the Butterfly on Prat, another good-value hotel, well-located in the bustling tourist and shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui.

Scene

Mid-range, value property with grand lobby

The Silka Far East Hotel is a mid-range property with a grand lobby decorated in a regal, yet tasteful, manner. Two life-size bronze statues sit outside the hotel’s doors. The lobby has high ceilings with decorative brown drapes hanging halfway down the wall to create a dramatic look. Walls and artwork in tones of gold and
coral add an almost regal-feel to the space. Elevators take guests to their
rooms. This property offers a peaceful, cozy place to stay but doesn't excel in amenities or deliver a particularly stylish atmosphere. Some business travelers are drawn here for the meeting spaces.
