Hong Kong Travel package: Flight and Hotel Part II

This post is continued from this previous post. For this post, I'm going to be talking more about the interior of Eaton Hotel. As with what we would expect of all hotels, everything is clean and neat! This is the view that we were greeted with when we stepped into the hotel room! The room is of a decent comfortable size. The first thing I noticed when I went into the room was: There were no curtains!! So we asked the staff there about it. We were embarrassed to find out that the things that we thought were special walls decorating the other end of the room were actually wooden panels that could be opened and closed!

The bathroom was also of a comfortable size with the basics in place. The is also where you can find the recycling bin that I talked about in this post! The bathroom is also clean and nice. Eaton hotel also practices the policy of not changing the sheets if the pamphlet is placed on them and not changing towels unless they have been thrown to the ground in the toilet!

All these so far I had expected but what I had not expected was what we saw in the next picture… The blinds beside the dresser could open to see into the bathroom!!! I'm sure this is one of the cheaper hotel rooms because we got it at a discounted price (see the previous post), but we did not expect this type of surprise! This is definitely not suitable for a group of mixed gender friends going out on a trip together! It would be embarrassing if you were in the shower when your friend of the opposite gender chanced upon what laid behind the blind! I'm pretty sure Eaton hotel has other rooms without this feature but this is just to warn future travelers to take note of these situations that could occur when you are overseas!

Because the hotel room isn't very big, I appreciated the effort of them trying to prevent making the room seem smaller with bulky furniture lying around. In fact, other than the bed, they only have a transparent chair and a transparent stool tucked at /under the dresser! Pardon my jacket that I hung on the chair. Because they were transparent, the chairs didn't look like they took up any space at all, making the room look that much more spacious!

Special amenities of the Eaton Hotel: 

The hotel had a swimming pool which neither me nor my mum used. When we got our room keys, we were also issued with a new set of WiFi password (as compared to the temporary ones given to us at the lobby when we left our baggage). I think that Eaton Hotel provides free WiFi for all its guests! My mum and I used the internet to Skype and WhatsApp our family members at home. The WiFi was quite strong and very stable! I was very satisfied with it!

Just opposite of Eaton Hotel was a chain Cha Can Ting (literally translated as Tea Restaurant) that served really yummy food. The food was really good and the price was very affordable! Here is the brochure that I took from the place! Apparently they do delivery too! It was not necessary for us since the restaurant was just across the road from the hotel. Do keep a lookout for the set meals that have for different periods of time! Those sets usually have quite a large portion at just a small price!

The nearest MTR Station from Eaton Hotel is Jorden Station. This is quite a central station and many attractions /shopping districts like Tsim Sa Tsui are only a few stops away. This Queen Elizabeth Hospital exit is the one you take when you are returning to the hotel.

Even if you don't travel to other stations, there are plenty of shops along Nathan Street that you could shop at! The shopping malls have many shops that sell very fashionable clothes. Some HK shops follow Japanese fashion, some follow Korean fashion, but mostly the shops follow their own HK fashion. If you are on a budget, forget about shopping at the departmental store unless you are looking for something that is of certain brands. During the last night of our trip, my mum and I chanced upon a night market that was walking distance from Eaton Hotel while randomly walking along the streets.

In the next part, I'll be talking more about the Airlines part of the package! Stay tuned!
