Frommer's Review

The Kowloon is a modern glass-walled structure right behind The Peninsula, giving it a great location just a few minutes' walk from the Star Ferry and MTR. Though it has no recreational facilities of its own, guests can use the pool and health club at the YMCA cater-cornered to the hotel or at its sister Harbour Plaza Metropolis hotel (free shuttle available) at reduced fees. The downside of the hotel: Rooms are minuscule and plagued by traffic noise. Although they have V-shaped bay windows, allowing unobstructed views up and down the street, The Peninsula's tower has robbed harbor views from all but the most expensive rooms. Recommended only if you don't plan on spending any quality time in your room.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; access to nearby YMCA or sister hotel pool and health club (fee charged); business center; shopping arcade; room service 6am-2am; babysitting; executive-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
