The Royal Garden Kowloon East is an urban resort on Tong Tak Street in the Tseung Kwan O district, in eastern Kowloon. The hotel is directly above Tseung Kwan O metro station, and this is its main feature: you can step out of the lift and find yourself in the metro within a couple of minutes. There are 366 rooms, and the format is family-friendly and pet-friendly: the description speaks of rooms for guests with pets and of children’s amenities. On the fifth floor there is an outdoor garden pool with a jacuzzi area, and on the roof the Starlight bar with a view of Kowloon. Of the shopping centres nearby are TKO Plaza, Park Central and PopCorn, as well as a sports ground. Guests note the free shuttles between West Kowloon station and Harbour City. It is a choice for those who travel with children or a four-legged friend and value convenience more than closeness to the tourist centre.

Tseung Kwan O: a new district of Kowloon by the metro

Tseung Kwan O is a satellite town in the east of Hong Kong with high-rise blocks, shopping centres and parks. The hotel stands directly above Tseung Kwan O metro station, about four minutes on foot according to the hotel, with TKO Plaza, Park Central, a sports ground and PopCorn shops nearby. To Hong Kong’s tourist centre you need to take the metro, but the line goes directly. The district is quiet and suits a family.

  • TKO Plaza — a shopping centre by the hotel.
  • Park Central — a shopping and residential complex.
  • Tseung Kwan O metro — directly under the hotel.
  • Tseung Kwan O sports ground — for an active rest.

Traveller’s tip: In autumn and winter it is most pleasant to walk around the district and on the roof. Summer is hot, and the pool on the fifth floor is a salvation for children. The shuttles to Harbour City run on a schedule, so it is better to check it at the desk.
