ALVA HOTEL BY ROYAL

This is not a 5 or 4 start hotel it is a 3-star hotel, but it is a VERY nice 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.

Best 4 stars hotel in Shatin area. Easy access from HKIA. A direct express bus A41 will stop in front of the hotel. Cost HK$23.4. Getting back to HKIA also very easy. The bus station is across the hotel and it’s the 2nd stop from the terminal in Shek Mun. The hotel also have shuttle bus to transfer to Shatin Train Station or Kowloon Station. The rooftop pool and gym is great. There are 3 restaurant on site. Not the cheapest, but great seafood buffet. Also served dimsum. There also a Japanese restaurant. The hotel is very close by train station, City One or Shek Mun. It’s a 5-10 min walk from the hotel.

Once again we have chosen Alva Hotel. The main reason is the friendly and helpful concierge and reception staffs who are always full of smiles. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to one of the outstanding staffs - Yannes. Another highlight of this hotel is the dinner buffet. It provides a wide varieties of delicious food. It worth to taste it.

ALVA Hotel by Royal is located in a quiet neighborhood and it’s quite a sight to watch the city at night. There is a bus from the airport that leaves you at the entrance of the hotel. Hotel has a shuttle to the nearest metro station which made trips to Kowloon very convenient. As a designer I really appreciated the simple clean yet functional design of the room, spacious by HK standards. The hotel is modern and clean. Nice and friendly staff. New hotel, great gym and swimming pool facilities, loved that there’s a water fountain on each floor to minimise plastic waste. Very convenient from the airport with a direct bus, and 7 Eleven downstairs. Great sized rooms with modern amenities. The room is very clean. The reception was helpful and granted a room on the high floor after my request upon booking. Despite the location that is not in the city area, it is safe to walk on the streets after 10 pm.

Service are great! Their attitude are great!! No wonder my sister strongly recommended that I should stay here!! This is the first time ever I stay at hotel in Hong Kong! But with my past 25+ years experience staying hotels at Las Vegas, I really want to say this hotel not bad at all. The only one thing I hope is the 7-11 Downstairs could be open 24 hrs!! Happy stay, really appreciate you guys service! Good job!!

I visited PITSTOP, the cafe / sports bar / casual restaurant, in Alva Hotel for family lunch gathering. ||It was a wonderful experience as we are using the coupons (Go Royal membership) and bonus cake offered by the hotel. The staff here is also very helpful. ||Wing is the staff serving us and explain to us how to max the membership perks. ||We come up here weekly now, small casual dinner or big events.||We renewed the membership, but sad to see lots of the coupons are changed. I prefer the old coupons more. More flexible cash coupons without mini spendings.

It's a very good hotel with mountain views. The location is perfect. There are two food courts and Welcome supermarket (we highly recommend it to any travelers coming from mainland) close by. For vegetarians, there is a takeaway kiosk near Welcome with best veggie options in Hong Kong. That delisious food was actually the main reason why we extended our stay in Alva for many times.

I stayed at Alva Hotel by Royal for one night on 7th September, and my check-in experience was extremely disappointing for a hotel that claims to be five-star. I arrived at exactly 12pm, completely soaked from walking in the heavy rain. My shoes and socks were wet, and I was very uncomfortable. Despite clearly seeing my condition, the front desk staff showed no compassion at all. I was cold, drenched, and exhausted, yet I was told to wait another one to two hours because “this is the policy.” I ended up sitting in the lobby for about 1.5 hours before finally asking again. Only then was I given a room, but the staff’s tone and expression made me feel looked down upon, as if I was a nuisance rather than a paying guest. Frankly, I find this unacceptable for a so-called luxury hotel. Five-star hospitality is not only about the facilities—it’s about treating every guest with dignity, empathy, and respect, regardless of their appearance or situation. On that day, Alva Hotel by Royal failed badly in delivering even the most basic courtesy. This was my first time staying at this hotel, and it will also be my last.

Good buffet in this hotel especially for their lunch buffet, sometimes they have good deals/promotions going on

HK buffet is always nice and popular. A lot of YouTuber have mentioned about the buffet in ALVA hotel. Personally I didn't really enjoy the food there and didn't find it as nice as they mentioned. They had a nice seafood bar there. Lobster, oyster, mussels, shrimps and some other sushi and sashimi there. Those are quite nice and fresh. The Japanese Yakitori bar was pretty good. When I comes to the main courses. Roast beef, lamb, stir fry of different sorts were disappointing. Dessert was also average. Service and ambiance was really good. $88 for all you can drink draft beer, that's a plus.
