Stanford Hillview Hotel

This small, intimate hotel is near the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui and yet it's a world away, located on top of a hill in the shade of huge banyan trees, next to the Royal Observatory with its colonial building and greenery. Knutsford Terrace, an alley with trendy al fresco bars and restaurants, is just around the corner. Its lobby is quiet and subdued (quite a contrast to most Hong Kong hotels) and its staff is friendly and accommodating. Standard rooms are mostly twins, fairly basic and small with tiny bathrooms. Deluxe accommodations are larger, while so-called upscale Premium rooms are larger still and add DVD players (ask for one facing the observatory). A kitchen is available for long-staying guests only. The Stanford is a very civilized place, but be prepared for the uphill hike to the hotel.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; babysitting; small exercise room; outdoor golf-driving nets; room service; free shuttle to Mong Kong, Hung Hom Station, and China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui
