Did you find this review summary helpful?
Stayed one week at the end of the year 2023. Room was bright and comfortable and faced the cycling park across the street. The floor to ceiling window gave a gorgeous view of the river and the surrounding neighbourhood. There was a lot of storage space in the room, which would make a longer stay possible. Bathroom was bright and clean, with a great number of hooks, which was a rarity these days. The shower was difficult to operate at first but they did provide clear instructions. There was no body lotion in the amenity box but one could request for it from housekeeping. The hairdryer was fixed to a drawer in the bathroom, which was a bit inconvenient. One thing that I found strange was that they did not put bin liners in the rubbish bins, which made it difficult to keep the bins clean. I had to specifically ask housekeeping for bin liners as I wanted to throw out my own rubbish. I also found out that they just threw the stuff I put in the recycle bin into the same bag as the rubbish. Staff were not very professional. When I asked for simple information at the reception (e.g. shuttle bus time, bike rental arrangement, etc.), they often asked me to go to the concierge. I sometimes got conflicting information from different staff. Staff also seldom offered information voluntarily. I felt like it was easier to get information myself from the hotel website. The lifts took a long time during peak hours. I waited for 5 minutes on the ground floor once before a lift arrived. The card readers in the lifts were also not very sensitive, which meant that people sometimes missed their floors (I saw it happen a few times during my stay). All in all, ALVA Hotel was a mid-range hotel with pleasant rooms but could do with better service and management. The room price was exorbitant during the holidays (over $2,300 per night for a standard room) but was reasonable on off-peak days.

Dear Hiu, Thanks so much for your wonderful review! We are happy to hear that you had a fabulous stay with us. Please come visit us again, and we look forward to welcoming you soon. Warm regards Derek But Hotel Manager ALVA HOTEL BY ROYAL
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

“premium experience at the ALVA”
It is always my go-to holiday place. This time I stayed in the biggest suite and it was super. absolutely enjoy the bathtub, and worth that extra for me welcoming sweets, and letter! wonder if it is for the biggest suite only, I would rather have chocolate&cookies though, appreciate the effort finally room service is available, though the choice is quite limited, especially midnight and breakfast, didn't try at all and why cut after 1230? I always find ALVA not to my needs when it comes to F&B. I travel myself and I only enjoy eating by myself. That's why I only order take from the outlets, but I would love it if could be included in room service, especially the Bento choice from the JP restaurant. I saw the THANN bath amenities, which I didn't use at all. Simply not a fan, I only use the normal shampoo they have there, and ask for the normal body lotion. appreciate you still provide the originally one, they are good enough! However as the top room type I found two part missed me 1. no bathsalt in the amenities, and it is the only suite in the hotel with bathtub, can't believe I need to bring my own, luckily I did 2. Fitness bike in room was a good idea, however could have been excellent if it would turn off by its own. absolutely disturbing even with the black cover, I need to unplug it by MYSELF to have a good sleep After all, such a sweet suite to stay, excellent cleanliness and style as always, except as the top suite of the hotel, I think it is not to my standard as a 5star. could be improved by effort
