Frommer's Review

The word "House" in the name is misleading, since it is actually a 25-story hotel, with a spacious but utilitarian lobby catering mainly to tour groups, school excursions, and budget-conscious business travelers, which gives it a dormitory-like atmosphere. Built in 1993 at the north end of Kowloon Park, it's just a stone's throw from the park's indoor and outdoor public swimming pools and a short walk to a playground, making it good for families. The park's many paths also make it popular with joggers. Guest rooms, located on the 14th to 25th floors, are tiny but spotless, pleasant, and modern, with showers rather than tubs and fold-down vanity mirrors to create more space. Although located inland, some Corporate rooms on the top floors offer great views over Kowloon Park of the harbor, the Peak, and the Symphony of Lights nightly laser show, as well as such extras like minibars and hot-water kettles. There are also very simple "Family Rooms" equipped with bunk beds that sleep four for HK$1,350 (US$175/£96).

Facilities:
Coffee shop; lounge; tour desk; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service/dry cleaning; executive-level rooms
