What guests think

Across recent reviews, ALVA HOTEL BY ROYAL is praised for clean, modern rooms, comfortable beds, courteous staff, and quiet riverside surroundings, with useful touches like floor water stations and self-serve laundry.

Many note the location is not central and the walk to Shek Mun or City One stations is about 8–15 minutes; the shuttle helps but runs on a fixed schedule with limited hours. Facilities such as the rooftop pool, gym, bikes, and an on-site 7-Eleven are appreciated; a few mention the pool being unheated or closed with limited hours, and occasional maintenance or smoke-smell issues. Breakfast and buffets receive mixed feedback, with some enjoying variety while others find options average and prices high. Overall, expect a modern, comfortable stay outside the city bustle.

Room was spotless. Breakfast Buffet has lots of variety. Staff is very friendly. The hotel is a ten minute walk to the nearby MTR station at Shek Mun but you can always take the hotel's shuttle bus that will take you to their sister hotel, Royal Park located at the Shatin City Center which is close to tons of restaurants and shopping. Health Club on 28th floor and token operated laundry on the Third Floor is very convenient.

Hotel is perfect for those who prefer to stay away from the busy part of town, while enjoying the convenience of wide variety of restaurant options nearby and easy access to public transportation. City bus to and from airport stops right at the hotel. MTR station and minibus stops within 10mins walk. Hotel is clean and well maintained. A plus was the self-operated laundry room on the 3rd floor.

Room was clean & comfortable, particularly the mattress. Shower was amazing. Staff friendly, professional & efficient. Shuffle bus to nearby Shatin was handy. 10 min walk to MTR & local shops/restaurants meant food wasn't an issue. Could've done with an iron in the room, hence the reduction in star for facilities.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The safe inside the room is a very nice feature; before we go, I wasn't sure per the online description because it describes both front desk safe and in-room safe, didn't know which one is true. Just one thing: they didn't turn on the heated pool function and that's a disappointment; the whole time we stayed there, it's not hot Summer so we didn't actually use it much at all because it's not heated, heated pool is a part of the selling point / attraction (especially the night skylight view) to us.

Beautiful hotel. Very tall ceiling with nice views of the mountains. Had a terrace on the 3rd floor where I brought my 1yr old to exercise. Rented a bicycle to side along the river as well, very scenic ride. We will be staying in the same hotel again next time.

Room was filthy with previous guests hair all over the carpet and layer of dusts on all area. Hotel also uses scents on all floors, which is too overwhelming for us. Room’s air conditioner was weak as it never goes below 22C over a two weeks period, no matter what you set on thermostat. Body wash and shampoo are no name brand which is unusual for a 4-5 stars hotel, we ended up getting our own body wash after a few days as it causes itchy skin. Location is terrible with very limited public transportation around and far from MTR or major transportation hub. Other than their hotel’s own cafe and restaurants, there is only one store within a 10 minute walking radius. Staff are friendly and professional even with demanding hotel guests.

Room is great and got a good view from the side of the hotel I was assigned a room. Disappointedly though was not the same size as my first visit, much smaller. Comfortable bed, black out curtains and as I was on the 26 floor no issue with sound from traffic. Clean, responsive staff and great shower which is always something I look to mark on a hotel. I commented to staff when checking out that I thought I could smell cigarette smoke from a nearby room. No signage to say no smoking allowed which they may want to remedy. Disappointed that the pool was closed - for a Brit, the weather is not too cold for an outdoor swim! All in all though, recommend with Shek Mun MTR about 8 mins walk away and nearby places to get food from there, is convenient place to be based - not too far from Kowloon and near to the New Territories plus access to Luowu, one of the HK/China crossing points.

Most of the comments are on the food, especially the buffet. However, we found the services are underrated especially the thoughtfulness of the house keeping staff. We found it quite cold one late evening and asked for extra blankets, but the staff sent us a heater instead as they’re afraid that we’ll catch a cold when we get out of bed! The staff serving in Alva House are very helpful, friendly and attentive. To conclude, we enjoyed our 9-nights stay at the hotel.

The bus stop from HK Airport goes directly to the property when you take the A41, making the trip from the airport a breeze. There's a lovely river accessible by pedestrian tunnel without having to cross the street, though crossing the street is not bad either. The River has parks that are open from 7am to 10pm for a nice walk / exercise. (I did 7 miles along the river each morning before shops opened)
