Parkway Parade Tours and Activities

The room size and equipment were great, but it's ridiculous that there isn't a SINGLE hook anywhere to hang your towel, shirt, or pants. I had to pick up cheap suction hooks from Daiso, so I had places to hang items that were frequently used. Sure the wardrobe has a bunch of hangers but you don't want to stuff your used day-pants in there. Makes no sense. The room cleaning only happens on Wednesdays, so you'll also need a hook to hold your garbage in a separate plastic bag. The garbage bin in the room is just too small for a week's worth of trash. Walls are thin, you'll hear your neighbors or room mates talk on their phone, and all the activity in the shared living space - this was esp apparent when my neighbor was cooking, doing laundry, inviting her friends over, etc. The 100 year old, very slow lift is cool the first time... but a real pain in the ass to use. You have to pull open two very heavy metal gates, and pull to close them (and ensure they're very closed) before you can hit the button to go up or down. Usually by midnight the lift will stop working... because the bargoers that use the lift forget to close the gates after they've gone to the top floor. And when new guests come in or out, everyone is very confused who should be helping to open or close the inner/outer gates. It's a nightmare when you're a regular guest and all you want to do is just enter or exit the hotel on the 3rd floor. Often, just waiting for the lift takes forever - if it comes at all.

Everything about this hotel is excellent. The staff, rooms, location, food, swimming pool, facilities and the great welcome you receive from everyone. They even look after your bags, if you arrive before check in and also after you check out but before you need to go to the airport. The hotel provides changing rooms during these times for you to freshen up. It must be good because Emirates flight crew also use this hotel!

The location is great for getting around. Room is clean and quiet. Kitchen is clean and stocked with kitchen cookware. There is also laundry room available for use. The staff are very friendly and very helpful in providing directions on how to get around with MTR. One of the stuff provided with detailed directions to bus station after getting off MTR station. That’s awesome. I would recommend the place.
