For a convenient hotel located near Jordan — you can’t go wrong with Madera. This hotel is only a few years old and it’s certainly very modern from the design to the service. This is no expensive 5 star hotel either, it’s in the lower price bracket similar to the Novotel which is one block away. However, I would stay here over many other similarly priced hotels on the Kowloon side. As for getting around, Madera is only 2 short blocks to the main entrance of the Jordan MTR station from where you can get to most areas of HK (with a few connections).
The rooms are spacious and all include a jacuzzi bath tub which is a nice touch. They also include a free smart phone so you can make calls and stay connected to the internet while in HK. A pretty good addition is that the first round of the mini bar (includes water, soft drinks and snacks) is free.
The Madera includes a rooftop bar about 30 floors above ground which gives some pretty impressive views. There is also a café on the third floor which serves pretty good cofee and also has some outdoor seating on top the pretty cute lounge area. A well equipped gym is also onsite as well as a games/​movie room (which i didn’t get to try).
From the airport, the most convenient way to reach this hotel is to catch the CityFlyer bus route A22 which drops you off on Jordan Road only a short stroll from the hotel. You could utilise the excellent Airport Express train to either HK/​Central station or Kowloon station but both options require a transfer either by MTR or taxi which is not the most convenient when you have luggage. The CityFlyer buses are quite luxurious and cheap with plenty of room near the door for luggage. I know there are snobs who don’t like buses (i normally fall into this category) but when staying at Madera, the bus is definitely the most convenient option to and from the airport.
I will definitely stay here again next time that I’m in Kowloon /​HK.

Had a very comfortable stay here. The front desk service was excellent and very accommodating. In addition, this hotel had everything you could imagine to make your stay here convenient, including a free phone that you could take with you to make international calls and acts as a hotspot when you are roaming around the City. Great location to jump on the public transportation. Overall, ⁵⁄₅ stars!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Madera and all pros definitely outweighed the cons. First the pros:
— Service was friendly and helpful.
— Really great location, 2 blocks from the Jordan MTR station and close to tons of restaurants.
— We never did get up to the rooftop bar for happy hour but it looked lovely. The café on the 3^rd floor was great for a simple breakfast and coffee or tea.
— Our king room was compact but well designed and we never felt cramped or crowded. It also had all basic amenities such as safe, hair dryer (which was probably the best hotel hair dryer I’ve ever used), iron, power adapters, etc.
— They give you a free smart phone for your stay so you can make local calls, look up maps and restaurants, etc while you’re on the go. This was actually indispensable.
— Free wi-​fi everywhere in the hotel.
The cons:
— all of the power in your room shuts off automatically when you remove your key from the holder. This includes AC, etc. I understand and appreciate the conservation of energy, but it took us almost our whole trip to sort out a comfortable temperature and there was a general feeling and smell of dampness always present.
–they use a VERY intense fragrance in their lobby which I personally found to be very overpowering and not too pleasant and my eyes would sting every time we entered.
Also, an additional note: while service was overall very good we found out something after we left. One of my co-​workers back in NY had called the hotel to see if he could order a bottle of champagne for us as a gift for New Years Eve. The hotel staff would not accommodate his request, which we all found to be pretty strange because that’s not an unusual request for a hotel that isn’t a complete dump. And they have a bar there so procuring the champagne couldn’t have been a problem. So, a little puzzled by that.
Weird service issue aside it’s a solid hotel.

For the price and location, it’s so worth it! Centrally located on the Kowloon side and a few steps away from the Jordan MTR station, you would not expect to find such a modern yet unassuming hotel. I booked a standard king size bed room and it was comfortable enough for me and my husband given the compact size of the room. All the furnishings were modern, clean, and sleek. I really enjoyed jacuzzi bathtub and the bathroom mood music that somehow you can’t turn off but i was ok with it. The only downside with my experience is the moldy, damp smell in the room. I think it’s from the vent because it automatically turns off when you leave the room. Otherwise, I would come back again… maybe get a suite next time.
Pro-​tip: All guests get free wifi.

Great hotel and even better location!
Hotel Madera is conveniently located in Kowloon, about two short blocks from the Jordan MTR station. The best part of the hotel is the gorgeous rooftop bar. They have happy hour prices for already inexpensive drinks when taking in the views. The third floor café is also very nice, and a good way to enjoy a simple breakfast and tea before starting your day. The staff were very personable and their english was good. Esther and Iaren were my personal favorites and they gave me lots of inside tips about the area and Hong Kong in general.
The only thing to perhaps improve would be to add more variety to the music played in the café and in the lobby/​hallways/​elevator. I’m not sure if they noticed, but it seemed like the same few songs played on repeat the whole time I was there. A minor issue however, and overall the hotel was outstanding.
