Oasis Aurum 181 Hotel 粵海181酒店

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Hong Kong – Oasis Aurum 181 I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Oasis Aurum 181. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm hospitality. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from HKU MTR Station and surrounded by charming local eateries and cultural spots. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated in calming earth tones, and offered a breathtaking panoramic view of Victoria Harbour added a luxurious touch to the experience. A special shoutout to Rhona and Douglas at the front desk, who went above and beyond to make my stay seamless and enjoyable. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly elevated the experience. They were always ready with helpful recommendations and made me feel genuinely welcomed. I’ll definitely be returning!

Location is good, close to tram, bus and mtr. The staffs at the drop off ground floor have been the friendliest and most welcoming throughout our 4 nights stay. Bruce Lui was very helpful when we checked out and initiated to help us book a taxi (also called the taxi for us to confirm that it accepts credit card). Other staffs located at ground floor drop off area has also been very wonderful (didn’t manage to get all their names)!

Stayed here for our anniversary and we received a free room upgrade from the hotel. The location is great and very close to the MTR stations with local bakeries and restaurants near by. Our room had breathtaking views of the water/harbour. The staff were great as well. I would definitely recommend this hotel!!! The only thing I would like to add is that the hotel should consider adding a pool as it has such amazing views of the water. 5/5 rating!!!

Cosy and modern designed hotel. The room comes with cloth-hangers, slippers and ironing. The bathroom comes with all the toiletries such as toothbrush packs, bath towels and hair dryer. Highly recommend the Upper Harbour Room for unobstructed view into the harbour. A little downside of the harbour view is it faces the industrial part of the harbour and not the bustling city lights of the Hong Kong CBD. Hotel services were great. The room attendant greeted us every morning. They cleaned the whole room and swapped out all the used towels. When we returned to the hotel, they will press the elevator button for us. The location is not bad. It is located slightly further away from the noisy part of the districts. The walk to the nearest metro and tram is less than 5 minutes away.

Stayed for 3 nights in November. I stayed once few years ago and enjoyed it, hence decided to stay again this year. However I am disappointed with the current standards. Paid extra for a harbour view room, but windows were dirty and stained with water marks; it was unappealing to even look out the window. If the harbour view is a main selling point of the hotel, I would expect that the windows be clean at least. Blankets were thin. Credit card deposit took 1 month to be released, this was after repeated emails to check.

We had a great stay. The room was very spacious and the view of the harbor was nice. Pretty decent location with a subway station just a couple of blocks away as well as a bus stop around the corner. There was also a complimentary laundry machine that you could use on the 5th floor. A special shout out to Nicky and Bruce who greeted us when we arrived by taxi and when we were curious if we had been overcharged by our driver went out of their way to talk to the driver on our behalf and got us the correct fare and got us our money back. We weren’t trying to get the driver in trouble, but they both insisted that it’s a priority to them to make sure that tourists have a positive image of Hong Kong. (Also, word to the wise to get an Uber from the airport instead of a cab so that you don’t get a subjective fare based on whatever the driver feels).

If you're staying below floor 10, you'll prob hear highway noise, and they view is pretty bad. Yes, you can see plenty of water, but also a big industrial distribution center in front of it. Rooms are moderately maintained, the toilet water looked dirty/unflushed but after several flushes, it's just very murky toilet water. There was trash in the trash bin when I first came in. They have toothbrushes but no lotion or anything else. Phone doesn't work. Windows kinda dirty. Small bottled water asks for a donation of $1, cans of local beverages in the mini fridge didn't have a price or any sign that said free. They gave me a room on 7/F that wasn't maintained very well, and loudish from the highway, so I asked for a change. They gave me a change on the last night of stay, made a big deal about it, left a "remark" on my room file and told me to go back next day 12-2 pm, but not too early otherwise they may not have a room. I go back next day around 2 pm, and a different reception gentlement said they thought I didn't want the room switch since I didn't go to reception at 12 pm. That guy made a big reaction, then told me to go back to my room and pack and that someone will be up with a new key in 10 minutes. I waited 20-30 minutes in the room, no one showed up. And since the phone didn't work, I go back to reception to ask. It was a new crew, and they also gave me a reaction, found the new card on the desk, gave it to me, as if that was the plan all along. I told them I waited for 20-30 min upstairs. At one of the larger hotels, they would've comped something for the mistake, esp for loyalty members. Near bus and tram if you know how to take it, but the HKU subway stop isn't that close. The entrance is somewhat close but it's still a bit of a walk once you get in, it's a "far" exit. Also, prefer airport trip to/from Kowloon (it's closer) vs hk island. All in all, this is a good low cost, somewhat value/luxury stay, but def not anywhere near the mainstream stays at Marriotts, Icons, Shangri-La's when their pricing is normal (e.g., not holiday weekend for China, when all the mainlanders travel to Hong Kong). Generally, good choice if the usual good choices are overpriced or out of rooms due to holidays, but prob wouldn't stay again because maintenance, location, and staff training aren't as good as the alternatives.

This is my first time stay at Oasis Aurum. We had an upper harbour room on the 29th floor for 8 nights with my daughter which was quiet, spacious, and had a large and comfortable bed with good air conditioning. The view was excellent and the service was brilliant especially Cherry.Highly recommended!
