饒宗頤文化館 - 翠雅山房

It is a peaceful place to stay in Mei Foo, but also HK in general, away from all the traffic and hustle and bustle. We enjoyed the quiet, views from high up, and the friendly twin (?) cats. We didn't mind having to walk a few minutes to get to the buses and metro. It's a convenient location. Despite the many staircases, they accommodate for those with mobility issues with the lifts installed along the gradual elevation. The rooms were fairly large and the beds were comfortable.

The rooms were older and noticeably worn, as was the bathroom. Opening a large suitcase was not very easy, and I wish they had a foldable luggage chair (or two) to avoid having to open my suitcase on the floor.

Check in was quick and easy. Staff were helpful about answering my questions about getting around the area. The room was simple and basic but fine. I had no issues with hot water during my one night a stay. This was a unique stay compared to most Hong Kong hotels. There is an on site restaurant, House of Joy, which is fairly upscale but has many western food options.

This location requires walking and at least some stairs to get in and out of the property. The hotel gave me a voucher for breakfast but it only was valid between 8 am - 11 am. I had to leave before 8 am so was unable to use it. The room could use a little work to fix up the space.

The stay is definitely a hill! But I liked the quietness and calmness of the entire space. And to be honest the stairs were a nice little exercise in the morning and evening when leaving for adventures. It's a nice stay to be grounded in, and a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, but not too far that commuting or walking into the districts is a chore.

I think that the room itself could have a little bit of an upgrade - a lick of paint here and there, and a little extra cleaning for the tiles in the bathroom.

Nice little escape from the busy HK streets. Quiet little spot on the hill where you can hear the birds.

Pain in the ass to get to. If you're travelling light you can take the train, if you are not or with kids, in a hurry then taxi it from and to the airport. Breakfast opens late at 9am which is not fun when you got hungry little ones so we had to run to the shop, which is a 10 -15 minute walk. We knew the walk was going to be a distant way, but breakfast late missed us up. Weird holding payment situation where it is frozen in your account, then returned unknowingly anywhere between 7-30 days after you book. Booked 100+ hotels in my life. The first time I have had this.
