Dorsett Seaview Hotel Review

This 19-story hotel looks slightly out of place amid the hustle and bustle of this Chinese neighborhood, near a famous Tin Hau (goddess of the sea) Temple and Temple Street's famous Night Market. Catering to visitors from the mainland and Southeast Asia, it has a tiny lobby (often packed) and a cafe on the top floor with views of a harbor (not the famous Victoria Harbour, but a working harbor nonetheless). Narrow corridors lead to tiny rooms; they remind me of a Japanese business hotel, functional and clean but so small you can almost reach out and touch all four walls. Because rooms lack the convenience of a desk or large closet space, there's virtually no place to unpack or put your luggage. As for those Night Market bargains you just purchased, you'll have to either stow them under your bed or sleep with them. The Dorsett is all about its superb, colorful location.

Facilities:
Restaurant; babysitting; free shuttle service hourly to Kowloon Station

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.
