YYe YenOur Stay at Rambler Oasis
Overall, we had a good stay at Rambler Oasis. The rooms are a decent size—not too big and not too small, and I think they are comfortable for two people per room. We were a family of four, so I booked adjoining rooms. However, the hotel gave us two rooms side by side. I’m not sure if these were considered adjoining rooms, but they were still convenient for our family.
A few things to take note of: the hotel does not provide toiletries, although tissue is provided, so it’s better to bring your own shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. Daily housekeeping is available upon request.
There were also no power adapters provided, so bring your own travel adapter if you need to charge your devices. Otherwise, you may not be able to use your chargers.
The gym is free—you just need to request an access voucher from the front desk. The swimming pool has a HKD 40 charge, and the ticket/access needs to be purchased at Rambler Club.
For food, there is a 7-Eleven and Café Coral downstairs, plus a small restaurant beside 7-Eleven that serves Filipino-style silog meals. They operate until around 11:30 PM, which was very convenient for us. There are also grocery stores a short walk away where we bought additional toiletries and bottled water since the hotel did not provide complimentary bottled water.
The hotel allows outside food, so you can easily bring food back to your room without any problem.
One thing to consider is the location. Rambler Oasis is quite far from the main city areas, so you’ll need to use public transportation if you want to visit Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Disneyland, and other tourist areas. The 88F and 88G minibuses are very helpful. They are usually parked in front of Rambler Crest and take you directly to the MTR area for around HKD 4.30.
We were initially confused about where to get off because the minibuses make several stops. If you’re heading to the MTR, wait until the final stop at Maritime Square 2 for 88F or Metroplaza for 88G.
I also felt safe staying here. The area is quiet at night and not crowded, which we actually enjoyed after a long day of sightseeing.
If you’re someone who prefers a quieter area and doesn’t mind taking the MTR and minibus, Rambler Oasis is a good option. But if you’re used to the busy city atmosphere and want everything within walking distance—especially in Tsim Sha Tsui—then it may be better to stay closer to the city, although hotels there can be considerably more expensive.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again, especially for a family trip on a budget.
