Hong Kong hotels & places to stay

hotel in the heart of tsim sha tsui. if you want to maximize your stay in hong kong then this is the hotel for you. last minute booking afforded a reasonable price with agoda. the rooms are small but bathrooms are modern and shower was great. close to nathan road which is main road in kowloon side of hong kong. the mtr station is 3 blocks away or a nice 10 minute easy walk or if you walk fast like i do, 5 minutes tops. buffet breakfast at 100 hkg dollars or about $13 usd is an ok spread with the usual american bfast/ chinese congee, rice, noodles, salad, fruits, bread, rolls. the staff was attentive to hotel guests needs. there is a manager that stands beside the elevator near the front desk that always helps guests in operating the elevator. hotel maids greets you good morning- which is a surprise since i often go to hk and maids usually just pass you by. pleasant stay- overall.

must start with - splendid breakfast - reminded me of my past life in england. we were on tour to china and had our return flight from hong kong, which is just 45 minutes from shenzhen in china as opposed to above 1.5 hours for guangzhou - for international flights, and thus had just one night to spend in hong kong. earlier we thought to save some money - looking at average room rates in hong kong. but as they say "you get only monkeys, if you throw peanuts", we were shocked with room size and bathroom size (was there one really?? i think all previous travelers had to take shower while performing their pooh pooh show) in hkd 500 - which is a good amount of money for a nice room in china. instantly, we purchased a local sim card for internet (smart tone hong kong it was, just in case you're interested - hkd 48 talk value in hkd 48 retail price and hkd 24 for a 24 hour internet) and searched hotels in nearby areas.. we found langham plaza and royal plaza - as we were at argyl street of hong kong. both were five stars and thus we chose a little less expensive one.. royal plaza but were really touched with the comfort in room and splendid breakfast. though, he hotel was under maintenance that time - we were provided with two set of ear plugs (along with a mentos in each set) at reception to save our sleep in the morning but we didn't have to use them also, the manager in dining area was really nice.. it was 10:25 when i showed up for breakfast. she came up to me and told they had extended breakfast time for by minutes to 11 am so i could i call my partner from room or just fill in a few dishes for him and keep with myself. anyhow, my partner didn't show up till 11:10 and i hadn't stored anything for him. the manager still offered a personalized service by offering anything he wanted from breakfast menu.. meat, freshly cooked egg/omelette, bakery, fruits, juices, muffins, etc etc etc.. overall, a recommended hotel for all kind of travelers to hong

From Sept 15th to 17th, I stayed in this wonderful Hotel together with my wife and 4 colleagues (we were on a company trip). This is my 3rd trip to Hong Kong and I must say although I paid much more for the previous 2 hotels in Hong Kong Island, but this is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in Hong Kong or anywhere else! From the airport, we chose to take Bus no. A31 to take us to the hotel. The bus journey took about 55 minutes and we arrived at the hotel at about almost 8.00 p.m. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a very pleasant and friendly receptionist at the hotel who had so kindly agreed to upgrade my 3 original Standard rooms at Tower 1 into one room at Harbour View - Tower 2 (on the 85th floor!) and another Family suite room at the 82nd Floor for my 4 other colleagues! The view at both our hotel rooms were phenomenal! And I really loved my Harbour View room as the design was modern and nice and the King size bed was very comfortable. However, special mention needs to be given to the Family Suite Room here - it is Really Spacious and beautiful. There were 2 Queen size beds plus 2 single beds in the suite and it has everything- a fridge, 2 round tables, kitchen cabinets etc! I really think the hotel has been extremely generous to exchange this suite room with my original 2 standard rooms at tower 1! Meals were not a problem at all as there are very nice dim sum and chinese restaurants in and nearby the hotel. The Tsuen Wan West MTR station was also very nearby the hotel (about 15 minutes walk away) and during my 2 night stay there at the hotel, I did discover that the prices of food and other stuffs at Tsuen Wan were really much cheaper than that at Hong Kong Island. If ever I were to go to Hong Kong again, I will definitely return to stay at L'Hotel Nina et Convention Centre!

I had an amazing stay at Harbour Grand Hong Kong hotel. I was unable to accomplish all my tasks during a day's business trip to Hong Kong, therefore had to make a last minute booking. Because of the Chinese Dragon Boat festival, all Hong Kong's hotels were very expensive and busy that day, and the price for a 3 star hotel was almost the same as the price I found on agoda for the Grand Deluxe Harbour View with FREE Internet room at Grand Harbour Hong Kong. I decided to go ahead and book the room. Upon my arrival I was warmly greeted by the hotel staff and the check - in process was very smooth. I was pleasantly surprised when the receptionist told me that I've been upgraded to a suite. When I walked in the room I was surprised by the size and comfort the suite had.It felt like I've won the lottery for a night. The comfort of the suite made me feel like home away from home. The gym,swimming pool and other facilities were also great. I will certainly recommend this hotel to all my friends and will stay again on my next visit to Hong Kong.

We stayed at the langham place hotel in Hong Kong for two nights in November 2009. It was well located next to a large shopping Mall where a good selection of Restaurants could be found in the food hall that served a good breakfast and evening meals at a reasonavle price. The hotel was within a few minutes walk of the MTR which was well priced, clean and ran on time. We had the experience of travelling in the rush hour when the trains were jammed packed but there were no problems getting on or off. People actually got off the train to let us off! The room we had looked out towards the harbour and we had wonderful night views of Hong Kong. The room was well serviced and had a good selection of toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. The mini bar was well stocked although expensive. We used the hotel transfer service when arriving and leaving Hong Kong and found it efficient and prompt. We were dropped off first and picked up last which suited us fine. The journey to the airport takes about 30 minutes but allow at least an hour because of the traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed Hong Kong and would use the Langham Place Hotel again.

This trip to Hong Kong,I had decided to make a change from the past, move away from downtown Tsim Shai Tsui to a more relax location. I was greatly surprised by the large room offered by this hotel. General hotels in Hong Kong have rather small room. Park hotel is ideal if one is looking for some greenery instead of the concrete jungle .Although it is located far from down town on the Northern side of the Kowloon territory and near the Shenzhen boarder. Hong kong has one of the best rail/and mass transit system. Transit time from hotel to down town is a bliss. The 45 min to n hour ride provides an opportunity to experience the sight and sound of the normal Hong Kong life. Shopping: This hotel is connected to the largest shopping mall serving the Satin district. Pricing is better. Food around the hotel is a gourmets centre.

Butterfly on Prat was amazing. It was easy to get to, close to a lot of stores, restaurants, and places to see, and the staff was superb - friendly and efficient! We were a family of 5 (with 3 adult children), and the 2 rooms we got was kinda small for the us kids. Too bad all the twin bed rooms were fully booked, that would've been better. But that one little discomfort aside, we had a nice stay here. The internet connection was free and fast! I could not have asked for a better option. They also provide free printing services, for those of you who need your boarding passes printed after an online check-in for your flight. How to get there (the fastest way): - Take the Airport Express, and get down at Kowloon Station. - Take the free Airport Shuttle, and get down at Park Hotel (2nd stop). Butterfly on Prat will be on Prat Ave., just a block away and a short walk from Park Hotel. How to get back to the airport the fastest way: - Go back to the bus stop in front of Park Hotel on Cameron Rd., and wait for the Airport Shuttle bus - Get off at Kowloon Station - Take the Airport Express back to the airport Places to see around Butterfly on Prat: - Wah Kee Snacks (corner of Prat Ave. and Hart Ave.): delicious street food! Try the lobster & chicken balls with curry sauce. - 7 Eleven and Circle K are near - Hanjyuku Kobo (Cameron Rd. near Tsim Sha Tsui MTR B2 exit): BEST. CHEESE TARTS. EVER. - Cotton On/Typo, Nike, Lush stores on Granville Rd Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station is of walking distance from Butterfly, and you get to see different stores too on the way. From there, lots of places are accessible by train. Do check out the Apliu Street Flea Market (get off at Sham Shui Po station) for gadgets & electrical things; Fa Yuen Sneaker Street (get off at Mongkok station) for LOTS of sneakers. There are lots of museums too, near at Butterfly on Prat: Hong Kong Museum of History, Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong Space Museum, and Hong Kong Museum of Art (which was u

I had an unexpected extra night in Hong Kong so chose this hotel as it is quite new and was cheap. The lobby design is nice and big, check in was very quick. Yes the rooms are very small, mine had a double bed that basically filled the room and the bathroom had a half bath in it, which may have been better suited for just a shower and the bed was quite hard however the room design was new, it was clean, quiet and was fine for the 1 night I had there. If I had to spend a single night in Hong Kong I would have no problem going back there. If I was in Hong Kong for multiple nights I would probably choose a hotel with a bigger room.

I was only there one day but could see that it is a top-class hotel. It has al the mod-cons in the room including a massive LED TV with a welcoming message for you and even speakers in the bathroom. Going to this hotel also really helped as I arrived at about 1am in Hong Kong and so didn't need to look for taxis or late-night transport and then hassle with check-ins in Hong Kong City. Most times you can only check in after 2pm anyway. And the good thing is it is not any more expensive than the normal (and usually much smaller) hotels in Hong Kong City.

I was highly impressed by Auberge Hotel. This is a brand new hotel in its "soft" opening phase. Large rooms, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, everything is new. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, great value. Just be aware that you CAN'T catch a taxi to this hotel because Discovery Bay is a car-free zone. The only way to get there is by ferry from Central then bus from DB Pier, or train/bus from Hong Kong Airport, or hotel shuttle bus. You really need to have a plan in place to get to the hotel before you arrive in Hong Kong. This is my new number 1 hotel in Hong Kong. Don't fear the remote location, Disneyland is a short bus/train ride away (but allow up to an hour on the weekend because there is no Sunny Bay connection). Central is 10 minutes by bus to DB Pier, then 20 minutes by fast ferry. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. Simply outstanding and great value for money.

We lived in Hong Kong in 1977, TST East didn't exist then. So when we decided to visit again to reminisce our past it was the perfect choice for us and the New World Millennium Hotel is exactly where we wanted to stay. We booked the Deluxe Harbour View and it was fabulous, we arrived about 8pm and walking into the room just blew me away Hong Kong island all lit up & was everything I had expected, and in the morning watching the Harbour come to life was just as amazing. The walk from the Hotel to Star Ferry was a treat along the Harbour front was only 10/15min walk. But best of all was Billy Chan Chief Concierge it was like having our own personal trip planner. Hong Kong has changed so much since 1977, Billy would map us the easiest & fastest route to go where we wanted to go, giving us all the bus numbers to get us there as well. And the night we wanted to go to the Ozone Sky Pub & Restaurant he suggested we take the free bus there & back and to go early to get the best daytime & sunset views that was the Highlight of our holiday thank you so much Billy for all your help & information. All the staff were as you would expect from a hotel of this calibre. There was some renovations going on the hotel and when we booked with Agoda it did explain this but to be honest we went on holiday and were out exploring HK from 9.30am till 4pm so the noise we experienced was hardly any at all, I did read some of the reviews people have posted about the noise but really there's thousands of hotels to choose from in HK, and if you knew there was going to be some noise going on why stay there & complain later???? This hotel, staff, & holiday are now in my top 10 Holidays ever Dawn & Michael Thomas from United Kingdom

It was our first time in Hong Kong so we decided to get a 4 Star Hotel. After arriving at Hong Kong airport it took us a few minutes to find the Harbour Center Counter, but after we found it, we felt taken care of already. Cost us HKD$140 each for the airport shuttle to the Hotel, it was a fairly large bus, and it only seated a few of us. This is where we learned that the Airport Shuttle caters to other hotels too. Think of it this way, if you have large bags or luggage, a few bucks is worth it when going to and from the airport because you are going to walk a lot. My bag was a large duffle and it was 24 lbs. and I was so grateful I opted for the shuttle going to and from the Airport. Plus, you get to see Hong Kong more from the bus, unlike when you take the train which goes into the subway after the first 5-6 stations. When we arrived at the hotel, check in was a breeze, they just get the impression of my card and thats it, there was someone who helped us get our things from the bus to the check in counter then from the check-in counter to our room. But be sure to give a separate tip to the one who carries your bag from the bus to the hotel, because it will be a different person who will bring your bags up. The room was quite big/clean compared to other Hotels our friends stayed at. Their's were around 21 sq mts, ours was about 28 sq mts. they were complaining that they had traffic going to and from their bathrooms, while we were comfortable in a King sized bed, we had a stocked mini ref and we had cable. Only problem is internet costed around a HK$100/day. We only stayed at the hotel to sleep and bathe mostly, but we would've loved to use the gym and the pool. Both were clean and complete. Maybe because there are monthly tenants staying at the serviced suites of the hotel. They had a sauna but I didn't get to use it. My girlfriend was able to use the pool, her only complaint was that it wasn't heated. We are coming back, soon.

the bp international hotel is the perfect hotel to those who wish to visit hongkong for shopping, sight seeing, food tripping, or simply just getting to know its cultural heritage. the hotel can be reached either via taxi cab or mtr from the airport. it's location is very strategic. every necessity could be obtained in a walking distance (money exchange, 7-eleven convenience store, street food, mtr station). it is also walking distance from the ever-famous canton road, for people who love to shop for designer items such as gucci, marc jacobs, lv, and many more. harbour city mall is also located near by. the austin mtr station is only 3 blocks away from the hotel. from there you can go to just about any point in hong kong as you wish! it is the cheapest mode of transport, and very easy to use. the hotel staff is very accommodating and can speak english very well. the hotel can also provide tourist concerns such as directions, tour guides, maps, and more. the rooms are small, but efficient for a stay in hong kong where you spend the whole day outside. it is perfect for relaxing after a long day of shopping and sight seeing. overall, i had a pleasant stay at the bp international hotel. im sure any one will also love this hotel! book now!

We came through Hong Kong for business. Two families, each with an infant. What we wanted was a hotel in Hong Kong that was decently priced and had a swimming pool for the children. This hotel is well-designed and well-maintained. Front desk staff are very professional. There is an hourly shuttle which takes you to/from Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel). In our opinion, the best part about the hotel was the large and beautiful swimming pool. There is a shallow kid's pool which was excellent for the children to play in.

GDH nailed it, again. Check in was a breeze, as always. I had booked an Executive again, and was totally surprised to have been upgraded to a 1 bedroom on the Executive Floor (16). Simply outstanding, especially for the price. GREAT bed, AWESOME bathroom, and comfortable amenities. The location is spot on for pretty much anything anybody would want to do in Hong Kong as it's just a couple blocks from Wanchai MTR, and a short walk down to Central/Hong Kong station as well. It's surrounded by restaurants of every flavor, and is, in my opinion, one of the hotels that gives the "best bang for the buck" while in Hong Kong. I highly encourage people to take advantage of the fitness room even if you're not a fitness buff - one of the BEST fitness centers for a hotel this size I have ever seen. Wharney GDH - one of MY favorite hotels in Hong Kong.

All hotel rooms in Hong Kong tend to be very small and those in this hotel are no exception, so don’t expect more room than is absolutely necessary. Having said that, the rooms were very well laid out and full of the latest gadgets – they were also clean, comfortable and ergonomically perfect and much better than in some of the ones we have stayed in on Hong Kong Island! The food was good, though a bit more variety would have elevated it to a higher level, and sitting outside in the rooftop restaurant was a delight even though the temperature wasn’t that warm – the views of the city and Victoria Harbour were amazing! The hotel runs a shuttle bus to Mongkok MTR station and it’s just a short walk from there to attractions such as the Ladies Market and Nathan Road – you have to walk back, or get the MTR back to Olympian City station which is then a short walk back to the hotel. Alternatively taxis are cheap and plentiful! A great hotel to stay in Hong Kong, with reasonable size rooms and at reasonable prices – we’d stay here again!

tsim sha tsui is the place to stay for leisure travellers looking to do some shopping in hong kong. there are countless hotels in tst, but the gateway is my top choice given its location, price and quality of service. the gateway is surrounded by malls and shops, being situated along canton road, and accessible through the harbor center mall. at night, visitors can have a leisurely walk along the promenade with the majestic hong kong skyline in the background. room rates at the gateway is quite reasonable compared to the marco polo hong kong and prince since it is situated farthest from the bay area among the three. nonetheless, the quality of the rooms, responsiveness and pleasing personality of the staff more than makes up for it. we look forward to return to the gateway hotel the next time we visit hk.

Firstly, I loved the location of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find it so near to the mtr exit! It is always a walkable distance to mongkok which is a plus point for me. To top it all off, we were very welcomed by the staff of Inn hotel who was very friendly and helpful. We managed to get the room ok the 30th floor which has a superb view (the harbour). Not to mention the room was so clean, new and had everything we needed. Water, basic toiletries and hair dryer. While there were reviews saying that the room is small, it is very understandable as hotels on hong kong are generally not big. This is my 4th time in hong kong, and my first time at the inn hotel. I must say this is the best hotel in terms of value for money, location and cleanliness. Not to forget, friendly staff. I'll definitely be staying here again for all my future trips in hong kong. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!

Hotel rooms in Hong Kong hotels are notoriously small, and the "superior" rooms in the Metropark hotel at 21 sq.m. are just adequate. However, the staff is universally excellent, and the service first-rate. If you want a double bed, you had better phone or e-mail ahead of time, because otherwise there may be none available when you check in. The hotel's location is convenient for anyone's purposes, with all the possible conveniences and services close by. The buffet breakfast was adequate, except for the fact that there was only sliced melon available as fruit. Bus A21 from the airport stops 50 metres past the main entrance to the hotel. Returning to the airport, however, is a little trickier: a) the airport shuttle (HKD 105) takes 1 1/2 hours because it picks up passengers from other hotels; b) a shuttle bus to the train station and then the airport express (total: HKD 95) is probably the best option; a taxi costs HKD 260 -300).

Regal Riverside's glory comes in it's design which is straightforward, convenient and relaxing whilst maintaining a charmingly simple but elegant style. I think it is perfect for families on holiday and tour groups whether they be your conventional tour group or school groups (we saw a few groups and they looked quite pleased). The hotel itself has a welcoming and pleasant ambiance and is quite stylish- once you enter the high-ceiling lobby there is a waft of perfume which invites you affably into a nicely decorated lobby. While it is not necessarily an overly 'extravagant' and 'grandiose' style hotel, I believe it is an ideal hotel to go on holiday as it retains an almost homely comfort and appeal after walking a long day in the colourful streets of Hong Kong. The hotel staff are also helpful and friendly. While it was a fabulous stay in the Regal Riverside (and at a good price), the few small problems we had was that in our bathroom there wasn't a fan and a leak near our cupboards (which was fixed quickly the next day without us even contacting the staff)but overall it was inherently a very nice hotel to stay in. Also note: The area of Shatin while not in the CBD of Hong Kong, is quite lovely being a more calm and relaxed area. Since the transport system in Hong Kong is efficient and well-designed for its large population, the hotel's location is not much of a obstacle in having a dense day in Hong Kong packed with sight-seeing and wandering around.

the prudential hotel is the hotel that i stay at all the time when i stay in hong kong. the location is ideal as it sits on top of the jordan mtr station. it's also centrally located on nathan road with shopping and restaurants on either side of the street. the rooms are clean and modern however they are small. the hotel is reasonably priced for hong kong hotels. my range is $usd and below a night. everywhere in hong kong is accessible by subway which is the main conveinence. taxi are expensive in hong kong and the subway makes an affordable way to explore hong kong. i give the hotel 5 stars and will stay there again everytime i come to hong kong.

This is my second time in Hong Kong for 2012. Compared to my previous trip, this hotel is definitely much more comfortable in terms of the area. Location was rather convenient as well as there is the Airport Express Shuttle Bus (H2) available. (To and fro from Hong Kong station). The hotel service staff were warm and friendly and have a good command of English. The staff were well trained in the local tourist attractions and had no problems answering our queries. Room service was rather prompt as well when we requested for extra towels. Definitely a pleasant stay and I do hope to be with them again for my next stay in Hong Kong.

I stayed more than 5 times at this hotel. Love this hotel because the EXCELLENT location. MTR Yau Ma Tei is just around the corner and many bus lines stop right next the hotel. Temple street, Ladies market, shopping area Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, innumerable restaurants are on walking distance. Laundry is just on the opposite of the main entrance of the hotel. There is also a small 7/11 (supermarket) just on the corner. The space of the room is according standard of Hong Kong just fine. I stayed mostly in the premier room which suits maximum 3 persons and that's okay. Also if you book the premier room you can use the handy wifi spot which you can take outside so you have ALWAYS wifi with you. It's free and very very nice! The breakfast is fine and if you stayed for 2 weeks (in my case) than it will be a little bit boring at the end;-). Oriental part: congee, noodles, vegetables, miso soup and dim sum. Western part: mini croissants & sweet patries, toast, gluten free bread, juice, milk, yoghurt, fresh fruits (very day: watermelon, pineapple and dragon fruit), cheese and the cook prepares any various egg. In general the hotel staff is very polite, friendly and helpfull. Also the chambermaids are very friendly especially the lady who cleans our room 1084. Thank you so much! I can highly recommend this hotel especially if you don't stay long in Hong Kong. Because the excellent location you will save a lot of travel time.

The hotel is one of the better ones that we had stay in Hong Kong. It is : 1) To get to the hotel from the airport is so convenient. By taking the public bus, it takes us almost to the doorsteps of the hotel. 2) Local food is all around. It is so convenient to have a taste of Hong Kong by stepping out of the hotel. 3) Public transport to other parts of Hong Kong is so convenient and cheap. Just step out of the hotel, there are tram and bus rides into the city centre. For those who need a rest and taste local Hong Kong fare, we strongly recommend Ramada Hong Kong Hotel.

I had an enjoyable stay in Shamrock hotel. I have been to Hong Kong a few times. This is the best hotel I have stayed so far in Hong Kong. I have witnessed in many occasions during my 7 days stay that the staff is willing to go extra mile to assist and make tourists comfortable. Even the cleaner helped to get the lift for me before I walked to the lift. In another occasion, there were two families with young and very mischievous children. They were running around and climbing up and down at the sitting area. The bell boy immediately went forward and asked the parents and the children politely not to disturb others in the sitting area. In another night, there was a man who rested his feet in the sofa. This is definitely unsightly and not hygiene. Within less than 30 seconds, the staff asked him politely not to do so. Overall, I am happy to have selected this hotel for my recent stay and will definitely go back again in my next trip. Keep it up!! Shamrock !

This hotel is an ultimate in luxury. Pleasantly surprised!! They upgraded our room to a suite which is a right timing, we went to Hong Kong for my wife's birthday. My wife had a great time celebrating her birthday there. You brought joy to her special day, 🎂Thank you for your Sweet Thoughtful GIFT! 🎁  Our stay at Park Hotel Hong Kong. was full of joy. Loved it! Breakfast buffet is so good.  Wish we could have tried the lunch and dinner buffet, will definitely try next time. The suite is beautiful and is so great; incredibly spacious perfect for a family of 4 or for couples. The suite has a powder room, a bathroom with tub -and- shower with great water flow and safe water heater. Beds: mattress-and-pillows, even the sofas are very comfortable you could sleep all day. The room is perfect...Eveything is clean!  Park Hotel's environment is really relaxing and everyone was very nice to us. Front Desk Manager, Front Desk Staff, Concierge team are all polite and friendly. Great job! Our hotel's location is very convenient to the nearby shopping malls and restaurants, and is conveniently located near a Catholic Church.and we are so happy for that. Just a 5-8 minute walk from/to MTR station. Oh, by the way, there are always at least two taxi cabs parked outside the hotel, easy to bring hotel guests to the International Airport or other places in Hong Kong. This is really a great hotel to stay in. (*We did have 2 minor problems: 1. With WIFI access in our room, a little weak; 2. No English-Hollywood Movie Channel with drama/comedy series and Disney channel. Only with English documentary channels.) Overall, we (me and my wife) are very happy with our weekend birthday getaway. Loved our stay here. Would definitely stay here again. Everything's fantastic! GREAT PLACE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.. THANK YOU PARK HOTEL Hong Kong.

The hotel is located right on top of the China Hong Kong Harbour. There are routes to Macao, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and others.. I believe it is quite convenient for business traveler from the Pearl Delta. There is also a great shopping mall just below the hotel. It is very convenient to shop and fetch a ferry back to Macao. Canton Road and Marina corridor, Star Avenue are also within walking distances. I think this is quite a bargain for a centrally located hotel in Hong Kong for its price level. Highly recommended!
