We visited in January but the Christmas decorations were still up, making it feel rather festive. High ceilinged and roomy, an unexpected space in the middle of the city. The staff were so friendly and helpful too! We spent so much time on its wide balcony, drinking wine and watching the crowds ebb and flow into the mall below. The only thing that I wish could be improved would be access but due to its heritage status, I can understand why they can't do that.

One of the greats
Absolutely wonderful experience. This is a real boutique hotel. Staff were phenomenally kind, professional, and welcoming. Not much time spent wandering Kowloon, as the private terrace overlooking all the comings and goings at heritage square was too hard to leave. Weddings, cosplay photo shoots - happy people, with the symphony hall as backdrop and HK skyline peeking above it. We felt like private guests. And ate and ate and ate. The rooms are individually quirky, huge, quiet and comfortable. But the staff were better than the beautiful old building (restored and repurposed maritime police station straight out of Love is a Many Splendored Thing), the amenities, the location or gorgeous food. So attentive and kind. We will be back soon.

Best Hotel in Hong Kong
The hotel is in an excellent location close to the ferry terminal , great shopping and excellent restaurants . As the hotel is a small luxury place to stay it has a peaceful unhurried feel and the staff are always eager to help with anything you need .The colonial style and heritage of the building was very appealing and having worked in HK for 4 years i think that this is by far and away the best place to stay if you want to get away from the usual places like the hotel chains

Great service and location
After a small snafu locating the lobby (it's on the ground level next to the road not up any stairs/escalators). They do have one small spot for taxis to stop (we were told at another hotel that they couldn't stop at that hotel at all). Check in was a smooth process, and we were taken to our room. The hotel is located almost directly across the street from the ferry to Hong Kong Island. The room was large and spacious, we had our daughter with us and even though we had a crib in the room still had plenty of space for all our belongings. Service was amazing, we were dropped off at a nearby hotel as we were told Hullett House didn't have a spot for a taxi (which they do). They brought over our luggage from the other hotel and helped my husband find a nearby Starbuck's by personally escorting him over there. They have a Handy Phone in the room that you can take with you sight seeing that allows you to make international calls and will be a wifi hotspot for your personal use. If we ever visit Hong Kong again we will stay here again.

Excellent!
Classy and elegant hotel in an excellently preserved heritage building. I liked the vintage decor and design of the rooms. Patio is large and overlooks the beautiful courtyard of the building. Great for people viewing! Excellent and very courteous staff who do everything possible to make your stay comfortable. Restaurants are great too, and we loved the room service and quality of the food! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Below Expectation
We arrived at 4ish and were taken to our room for in-room check-in. The 2 staff walked around our thoroughly cleaned room with their shoes on, I was a bit disappointed about that. Our "Tsing Lung" room was very close to the crowd. I could hear speeches of visitors around the venue and we could even photobombed couples who were taking wedding photos. The room decor was ok, poor maintenance (cracks on wardrobe, wooden decorative panels, washroom floor tiles; rust in door joints and locks, etc). A list of not-user-friendly stuff --- lighting remote panel, a good idea but there's no individual switch to turn the washroom light on; washroom door hidden in a mirror wall, no door handle in washroom side; toilet roll was hanged on wall behind toilet bowl. We fell asleep at 5ish. I heard a knock on the door and thought it was another room, but it continued, by the time I arrived at the entrance a hotel staff just opened up my door and walked in. She told me it was the hotel's turndown service and offered me some chocolates. I told her we were sleeping and we didn't need the service. Then she knocked again when I walked back to bed, and suggested me to hang the "do not disturb" sign at our door. I appreciated the idea of turndown service, but it was such a buzzkill, and I'm sure there is a way to avoid staff intruding a room with guests.

Hong Kong Staycation!
As far as a city get-away goes, Hullett House is a great escape, especially if you're short on time. We did our wedding reception at the Parlour and were always curious about the boutique hotel upstairs. Parlour weekend brunch is relaxing and solid (it's not the W Elements brunch, but good nevertheless!) and proximity to the ferry, Kowloon promenade and Harbour City makes this hotel a great starting point for a weekend away.

Wonderful Themed Rooms!
We stayed for one night at the Tsing Lung suite. The decor was absolutely astounding, with wallpapers designed like it was a giant Chinese-style painting. The room was very large and vertical, unlike rooms from any other hotels nearby. Overall a very nice stay if only to enjoy the historic value and wonderful service. Tip: if you are looking for a place with other facilities (eg swimming pool, gym) this may not be your cup of tea, but for comfort (especially the incredibly comfortable bed), space, and great views both at night and in the morning, this is definitely a wonderful choice!

Staying at the Hullett
We enjoyed a very pleasant 4 nights at the Hullett The hotel is well located close to the Star Ferry, and some excellent shopping malls. The room we had was huge but lacked tea and coffee making facilities (room service only) but had a free non-alcoholic minibar. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had dessert at the restaurant at the back which was delicious.

Under Designed
The service, location and views are unmatched. However the design of the room left a lot to be desired. I realize there is an attempt to recreate some sort of heritage environment, but there is a difference between minimalism and sparseness, and between sticking to a vision and comfort. Our room (Pui O Suite) was a massive room, but there was hardly any furniture in it. No comfortable lounge area to relax after a day of walking around. No place to sit and eat our room service breakfast, which was excellent by the way. Lots of little details as well, like the spare roll of toilet paper is just sitting on the floor next to the toilet in plastic wrap? Anyway the hotel as a whole is lovely, and the service was great, but it could definitely do a lot more from a design perspective and providing modern conveniences and comfort along with the heritage environment.

Great location but lacking for a 5 star hotel
I stayed at the Peninsula Hotel many times and decided to try the Hullett House since its location is slightly better and closer to Ocean Terminal and shopping. The hotel entrance is difficult to find on Kowloon Park Drive side. Having a free minibar and free Breakfast was great. Although one time it was delayed 20 minutes. The room layout and design left much wanting. The rooms are very large, and the bedroom only had a bed, side tables, desk & chair, and 2 chairs with a small table. There was a huge space in the middle of the room with no furniture. A sofa and coffee table would be nice. The bathroom only had 1 sink. The toilet faced the shower door and a large wall mirror, which is awkard. Only 2 bath towels, 2 face towels, no hand towels which is odd. The towel quality was not as plush or nice as expected at a 5 star hotel. My room had bedside floor lamps which was hard to switch off from the bed and not useful for reading in bed. TV channels were very limited. No movie channels. Free wifi was good, but no instructions. The plugs are all standard Hong Kong plugs. I had to plug my computer in the bathroom in the razor socket. On the last night I saw guests enter a code to open the security gate from the elevator. As the only guest with a baby in a stroller they should have told me the code instead of me having to buzz and wait for staff to open every day. Good value for size of the room alone, but not sure if I'd stay again unless I got a good discount like this time.

Truly magical experience, even before checking in
Greated at a a hotel so beautiful and rich with history that it has people coming to take pictures of it from the outside. With only ten rooms in use, it wouldn't be uncommon that I am the only guest and have the giant hotel all to myself. Even before checking-in, as the only guest with a reservation on that specific day, I was even greeted at the door by their staff -- who welcomed me by my first name before I even stepped foot inside the place.

大阳台最舒服
住了三晚, 整体感觉不错, 离海港城只是隔一条马路。 这是一个历史遗迹,还是一个非常有特色的居住体验。 房间最舒适的是那个大阳台,那么大的阳台,估计好多人家的客厅也就那么大,在香港这个寸土寸金的地方,太可贵了。 还有mini bar免费的饮品,管家服务是一个亮点,态度很高,这也是选择这里的一个最重要原因。 也说一些小的问题。 我是带小朋友来的,房间灯光控制系统比较弱,如果卧室灯光暗了,卫生间就没有灯了,我们好容易哄睡了孩子,只能抹黑进洗手间。这点需要调整一下。 隔音系统还不错,但这个地方毕竟楼下就是旅游景点, 如果你是一点声音都受不了,可能这里不适合你。 总之,对于香港小住,是推荐的一个地方。 j
