ROOMORAMA REVIEW: HONG KONG SHORT TERM APARTMENT RENTAL, APARTMENTS FOR RENT, FURNISHED HOTEL ROOMS.
If you’re a young traveler like Seba and me, you’re probably in that Twilight Zone when it comes to accommodations. Where you can’t afford the nice hotel, but are reluctant to “rough it” in a hostel. Or worse, on someone’s tea-stained couch. Ick.
Guess what — there’s a happy medium! Roomorama lets you book short term apartment rentals, in cities all around the world. Meaning you can stay in stylish digs and experience the life of a local, with enough left over for shopping.
The Roomorama team set us up with a Hong Kong flat for three weeks. Shall we give you a tour-o-rama?
As you can see, our apartment has a sleek, modern design. Like a hotel, the room was clean and furnished — no need to pack towels or toothbrushes.
To our delight, there was near-endless storage space, making it easy to put away luggage and purchases. (My rose hoodie is gifted by Iron Fist.)
Do you like Seba’s Lady Gaga look? (Crown headband and fringe dress gifted from gla.MAR.ous)
Roomorama chooses its landlords carefully, so we were in good hands. The building had a doorperson and considerate staff (they lent us adapter plugs, and gave info about the neighborhood). There was even maid service eight times a month!
Our air-conditioned apartment had broadband internet, a DVD player, flat screen TV, and kitchen equipment.
We got to watch local TV, and funny Chinese music videos (like Touch My Heart).
Who can argue with the view of Hong Kong’s harbor?
The bed was comfortable. And that’s all we’re going to say about that.
It was fun to live like a local, in a chic apartment full of character. Seba and I can’t thank Roomorama enough for the experience. Coming up next, we’ll take you around our Causeway Bay neighborhood.
Roomorama’s site is secure and easy to use. There’s a wide range of quality rentals (for example, I found a Hollywood studio for $55 a day), with photos and customer feedback for each listing. A gem for mid-range and business travelers: I hope you remember Roomorama the next time you need a place to stay!
(As Teknicolor Dahlia commented, “For around the same price as a 3-night stay in some places we could stay for a whole week! Extra days of exploring cities and shopping? I’m all for that.”)
Have you ever stayed in a furnished apartment, or short-term rental? Did you enjoy it more than a hotel? What do you think of Roomorama’s services and rates?

Oh God I love that little dress and the giant panda ^_^
hehe
Looking around at the site I think this is going to replace hotels for me… For around the same price as a 3-night stay in some places we could stay for a whole week! Extra days of exploring cities and shopping? I’m all for that.
Exactly. I added your comment to the post, since I think it was spot on — it’s not like you have sacrifice comfort/style to save a bit. I like the out-of-the-box approach that they take!
The apartment is beautiful! Roomorama sounds awesome *checking them out now*
The customer service is great.
Thank you again for this cute report!! The apartment looks really great!!!

As someone commented, it gives new meaning to pushing buttons….
“The bed was comfortable. And that’s all we’re going to say about that.” LOL mind in gutter. It’s a really cool apartment though~
hahah
Tantalizing!
SRSLY, though, that is an awesome flat and you both looked like you were enjoying yourselves. I’ve bookmarked the site for future travel plans.

That room rental does sound great! I’ll definitely use it next time I travel. And I LOVE all your pics!
Heheh yayyyy!! You can tell we had fun ;) Many more pics to come!
I love your posts.
Thank you dear! We have much more from Hong Kong coming up… cute cooking school, panda cafe and more.
Never stayed in a furnished apartment, but that would probably be due to the fact that I have almost no reservations about “roughing it”. As long as I bring my own pillow which I know is safe and something with which to protect my stuff I have no problems with a tea-stained couch. A furnished apartment would be a nice change of pace though……
heeh, I don’t do well with skeezy couches… :P
You obviously did not grow up amongst the right (or wrong) people then. A year of punks, candy kids, and part time criminals kinda helps. All I know is always hide your money in your shoes, hide your shoes somewhere high, and never throw the first punch.
Hawt lmao!!! xD!!!!!
Love this pic!! It’s sooooo awesome!! ♥
Lol! You seem to be having a little too much fun! ;-)
Seba’s shoes are awesome what are they???
heehe his moonwalk space shoes! They’re from Shibuya 109, the infamous chic department store in Tokyo.
I love the. Shirt! Its cute.
comfy beds are…good XD
KawAii :)
You’ve mentioned Roomorama before, but it just suddenly clicked with me… My gosh aren’t I planning a trip to Japan? So I finally just took a look. I have to say, I don’t know what kind of superhuman abilities the people that work there have but my gosh the great prices for unbeleivale places! Yes, as long as they are around, I will never stay in another hotel again. It’s 100x better! I’d be stressing over the accomidations for months, now problem solved~ Thank yoooou for sharing > u< ♥♥♥
That’s so wonderful!! It was a very positive experience for us — hope you find it the same, keep me posted!
“The bed was comfortable. And that’s all we’re going to say about that.”
LMAO, OMG I cannot stop laughing! That was the greatest comment I have ever read. But seriously you two are so cute together, your hair looks AMAZING by the way, I love the new bangs (I haven’t been on in while, sorry :P) and I am def going to look up Roomarama. I am going to Fukuoka next year for 6 weeks, any suggestions of what to see around in that area? Shopping???
