staff were friendly for the most part and understood most of our instructions in english. with how expensive food can be in HK, their breakfast buffet of 150 HKD good for 2 was a huge steal in my opinion. Place is far from subway though but is usually a 4 minute walk to the bus stations where you'll do most of the commuting.

It is very convenient to buy coupons on Klook. You can use them immediately after purchase. You can buy cakes, bread and pastries. It is great. Price: Buying 2 coupons is equivalent to 14% off, which is better than other offers of Maxim's.
