What guests think

At L’etoile de Mer, reviews describe a budget, self-service stay with frequent problems finding the entrance, unreliable automated check-in, very compact rooms, and shared bathrooms that are not always clearly disclosed.

Cleanliness and maintenance are common concerns, with reports of odors, dirty linens, drainage or plumbing issues, and occasional lack of hot water. Noise from thin walls, loud air conditioning, or nearby roads is noted, and promised views are often limited to a shared terrace or blocked by scaffolding and sealed windows. On the positive side, the location is convenient for MTR, tram, buses, and nearby shops. Expect a no-frills, minimally staffed guesthouse-style stay best for undemanding, short visits.

Facilities

Facilities are minimal: self check-in via kiosk with no on-site staff, and communication handled remotely. Several reviews report hot water problems and note there is no kitchen; a shared terrace offers the view rather than private balconies.

陽台受到棚架阻住，景色大受影響。房間內只有一個浴室，洗手間是共用的，甚為不便。網上圖片形容是有兩個客廁及廚房可共用，但實際環境只有一個廁所，沒有廚房，與實際環境完全不符合，有欺騙之疑。

部屋からベランダに出られると思いましたが窓は開きませんでした。共用部分から出られるベランダ部分は椅子が一脚あるのみ、早朝や深夜少し騒音が気になりました。一番困ったのはバスタオルがないこと。小さなフェイスタオル一日３枚のみでしたので追加で必要なら掃除の際に掃除の女性に頼んでもらう必要があります。トイレは共用部分に2箇所あり、キッチンはありません。

New experience for me to check-in at machine and without anyone at the hotel, even those no staff around but emergency call on duty while I call. Quiet environment, very convenient no matter wants to take MTR, bus, tram or cab. 2 mins walk to MTR / bus stop, 3 mins walk to tram. Easy to buy food or grocery, restaurant, 7-11, Wellcome Grocery is surrounding. My spouse and I not used to soft bed and pillow, our neck and back feeling pain. Overall is good. Although room is small but what you want are inside, suitable to couple or solo traveler. Not recommend for family.

無人のゲストハウスです。ゲストハウスの割にはいい方ですが、ホテルをイメージするとガッカリ。初めてだと場所や入り方が分からず不安かも。まずマンションのセキュリティー『4B』を鳴らしても開かない時もある。部屋は15階。しかも無人で機械でチェックイン。日本語対応してるが不安。あとトイレは共同。バスタオルは簡易の使い捨てバスタオル。バックパッカー並みに旅慣れた人向けです。ただ立地はすごくよく、共同テラスだけはハーバービュー。テレビはない。ゲストハウスにしては清潔で清掃もしてくれます。

Self-check in, not much service. It's not clear when booking that the private room only has a shower and needs to use shared toilets. There are also small insects in the room. The hotel location and the view are great.

The check in kiosk was broke. The room smelt very strongly of ammonia, this turned out to be unrine. The smell was so strong we had to leave the room and the owners took ages to reply and offer a change of room, we left with in 10 mins. The location of the building in literally in a construction site, the size of the rooms are better described as a prison cell.

Rooms

Rooms are very small with limited or non-opening windows; many lack in-room toilets (some have only a shower), and beds can be too soft or sagging. Noise is a concern and views are often restricted to shared areas or blocked by scaffolding.

The reception got our rooms wrong on the first try. Check in was difficult as we'd have to call them, install WhatsApp to talk to chat with them, then they gave the wrong room and we had to complain to get a other one. They had rooms on separate floors and we'd have to go to another floor for cups and water. Once inside the room we found out that the patio door was broken and cold wind was leaking into the room. The bed was sinking in the middle and we spent a sleepless night rolling towards the center. Had to get Expedia involved to cancel the rest of the nights we had left and booked a other hotel. It was not well maintained. The internet barely works.
