Frommer's Review

A pioneer member of HKHA and catering mainly to visitors from China, the Shamrock was built in the early 1950s and, despite lobby renovations that added marble floors and artwork from Beijing, I don't think it's changed much since then, including the half dozen or so small chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The guest rooms are unexciting, clean, simple, and small, though high ceilings (with the ubiquitous small chandeliers) give the rooms something of a spacious feeling. Avoid the cheapest room without windows -- Dracula might feel at home, but you might want to spring for some sunshine, though deluxe rooms facing Nathan Road are also noisier. It's about a 20-minute walk from the Star Ferry, just north of Kowloon Park and not far from the Temple Street Night Market.

Facilities:
Restaurant; business center; room service 7am-10pm; babysitting
