Frommer's Review

This 19-story hotel looks slightly out of place amid the hustle and bustle of this Chinese neighborhood, just a stone's throw from a famous Tin Hau (Goddess of the Sea) Temple and Temple Street's famous Night Market. Catering mainly to visitors from the mainland and Southeast Asia, it has a tiny lobby (often packed) and a cocktail lounge on the top floor with a nightly happy hour and views of a harbor (not the famous Victoria Harbour, but a working harbor nonetheless). Narrow corridors lead to the smallest rooms I've seen in Hong Kong, so miniature that TVs in most rooms are mounted to the wall to save space. It reminds me of a Japanese business hotel, functional and clean but so small you can almost reach out and touch all four walls. At any rate, since rooms lack the convenience of a desk or large closet space, there's virtually no place to unpack or put your luggage. It's basically just a place to rest your weary bones; as for those Night Market bargains you just purchased, you'll have to either stow them under your bed or sleep with them. Nevertheless, this hotel gets recommended for its superb, colorful location.

Facilities:
Restaurant/lounge; small business center; babysitting
