    “Perfect, especially the night before the airport”

    This is a good review for a 3 star hotel. Some people might consider this a luxury hotel, but if you've stayed in a luxury hotel, you will not consider this that. However, it is a GOOD property. Very clean and modern. Great views. They have an excellent staff, room service and a nice gym and pool as well. The bus that takes you straight to the airport is right across the street at there is a 7/11 at the bottom of the hotel which is so convenient. If you aren't afraid to take the bus then transit from the hotel is really simple. The closest train station is about a 15 miniute walk from the property though. For the price, you really can't beat this though. My room was a nice size, the bathroom was nice. Great shower! The provide very cheap slippers and no robe and no wash cloth. All other towels though. If you are looking for something nice and solid and clean and inexpensive, I would recommend this property.

    “Great hotel for family of 3”

    Fantastic hotel for a family of 4. The cleaning staff are thorough in cleaning up the rooms and replenishing the toiletries and beverages. The water refill is a good idea on each floor, saves on bottled water. Shower pressure was good. The beds were comfy and the vac were strong and adjustable. The swimming pool was a great aswell as the gym. In terms of location, not close to mtr but there are is free shuttle bus going to a few places, some more times could be added especially lunch time and extended more till 11pm would be ideal. There are local public transport outside hotel and airport bus. I would stay here again if the price was competitive.

    I had a fantastic experience during my stay! The room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. What really made our visit special was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff—everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The 24-hour laundry room was super convenient, especially for a longer stay, and the free shuttle service was a huge bonus—reliable and easy to use. Overall, I was really impressed and felt well taken care of. We’ll definitely be coming back again! Highly recommend!

    “Location based Stay ”

    The hotel was surprisingly good! For a local brand I expected a standard stay, but the room turned out to be very comfortable. Extremely satisfied in the room, and the location is OK. Their bus shuttle was useful. Their breakfast however was really bad quality. I think they want to make the impression of covering the items that they have seen are offered amongst international brands, but fail to deliver this level. It’s a shame because they have the property to achieve a solid breakfast meal.

    “Fantastic stay”

    What we really liked about staying at Alva was the cleanliness of the hotel. We stayed at a high floor, non-smoking river view room. The hotel itself is pretty new, must have been built within these few years. Gym room was on the top floor, they provide lockers, towel and water. I didn't get to experience the pool because it doesn't open until like mid April. The bathroom shower was exceptional, and the beds were comfortable. There was also a laundry room, which was pretty crowded when I went to wash my clothes at around 8pm. They had like 8 washers and 8 dryers, I was lucky one was available when I went in. You also need to purchase a token at the front desk to use the Laundry. There is also a shuttle that goes to the near MTR station, and a 7-eleven on the hotel ground floor that opens 24/7. Overall, a very enjoyable stay. 9.5/10
