Bee from Hong Kong (20 January 2025)
The family room was spacious and had a bathtub for the children, they each got a kids amenities pack and a good sized single bed each and we still had space to move around. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we had an excellent view downhill towards the harbour. What could be improved: Would have been helpful if they had food options...
