There was too much stairs to climb. We had to take a cab every time we went out. Staff were nonchalant and just can’t be bothered, maybe because they don’t speak English well enough to engage in conversation with non local guests.

Beautiful place

Comfortable and beautiful, but be ready to climb stairs! This place is located on an unusually high ridge in HK. They have more than one building on the ridge, with staircases between them. As properties go in HK, this one is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is through a partnership with a small restaurant half way down the ridge by stairs. The food was fantastic. But be prepared to climb lots of steps to get back to your room! The only reasons for 4 stars are: - Low Water Pressure: The bathroom is outfitted with an excellent massaging-style shower head. Unfortunately, the water pressure is so low that the massage feature doesn't work. It is also difficult to get water to stream away from the wall far enough to get your body wet without bumping the valve and shutting off the water! - Incomprehensible heating/cooling system. Maybe it's just a cooling system, but when it's 12C (53F), it'd be nice to get some warm air into the room, but all I could get was cold air. There was something written on the thermostat, but it was in Chinese without an English translation.

They should advise the guests to request the taxi driver to drive up the hill to the hotel receptionist building. Our taxi drive left us at the bottom of the hill, and we had to pull 2- 45 lbs luggage up the hill, about 3 to 400 steps. Hand towers should be provided. 2 pillows will be better than one.

Friendly and helpful staff, very clean, comfortable bed. Just a short walk from Mei Foo MRT station, and easy to get to once you know which set of stairs is the fastest route. Water pressure was lacking a little but the shower did get nice and hot. Breakfast and coffee at the cafe was good. Unfortunately they don’t take credit cards, so you’ll need cash or an Octopus. My only complaints would be that the window didn’t open so there was no way to get fresh air, and that we could hear a little too much from nearby rooms and their overnight activities.

Lovely stay

We enjoyed our stay at Heritage Lodge. For the price, it was a great! The climb up (stairs + elevator) the hotel was not bad at all as we mostly came back when the sun is down. The staff are really nice! Location was good. Would stay here again if we were to visit HK in future!

Heritage Lodge

Really nice hotel with rich history and modern cozy rooms. The only downside was that we hadn’t read properly that if you don’t take a taxi up it’s a lot of stairs. With two children this wasn’t ideal, but we do not blame the property but think it is good to know. We also appreciated that self laundry facilities.

It is a pretty and quiet property. It locates at the hillside at edge of the city. This is my second stay here. They no longer offer the shuttle services to and from the MTR stations. You have to walk up to the hill and it is quite an issue in the hot summer for returning to the Lodge at day time. You'll better take the taxi after shopping with lot of carryings. (But some taxi drivers from Mei Foo station do not like the short distance passengers like us.) Hot water supply is not stable due to the water pressure. This is another issue that they should fix. Also, they do not offer coffee but only tea bag in the room. Overall, I will stay here again.
