We stayed here for two weeks and thought it was great. It was excellent value because it was a little out of the centre of town. However, with travel as cheap and convenient as it is in Hong Kong, this was no problem. Service was excellent at all times and staff couldn't do enough to help. The room was quite a good size compared with some I have stayed in before, particularly in London, and we had a corner room with two great views. As an extra bonus you get to stay in a more traditional area of the island and see a little of more old fashioned HK life. Some people have commented on the dried seafood shops there - and their smell. We didn't find that the shops smelt much (in spite of temperatures up to 34 degrees and over 90% humidity - phew!) and they were much more interesting than the plethora of department stores and chain stores in the centre. Our only criticism was that our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, even though we arrived mid afternoon from a long haul flight and were hot and exhausted. However, this did not mar the stay, and overall this was a great hotel serving good food and excellent value, particularly recommended if you are staying a little longer in HK.
The tramline goes right outside the hotel and across the whole of HK island very frequently, through Central, Wan Chai … for only HK$2 (13p). Get on at the back and go upstairs for a top view, then get off at the front when you want to and drop HK$2 in the box or scan your Octopus card (recommended). For cabs, pick up a hotel card from the shelf by the concierge to show taxi drivers when you want to get back to the hotel - most don't speak English. Taxis to Central cost around HK$25 (£1.75).
