Frommer's Review

If you want to pretend that you live in Hong Kong, in a residential area popular with expats and abounding in charming neighborhood restaurants and bars, this is the place for you. Located on the slope of Victoria Peak in the Mid-Levels, at the top of the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator that delivers residents to jobs in Central in the morning and then reverses to bring them back home again later in the day, it is not as convenient as other hotels, but it has its certain charm. In addition, the hotel makes up for its out-of-the-way location with free shuttle service; a half-dozen city buses also stop outside its door. Managed by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, it offers tiny standard single and double rooms (with even tinier bathrooms) that have large windows letting in lots of sunshine. Unfortunately, these face inland. If you can, spring for a more expensive room facing the harbor (all twins or suites). Since they're so high up, views are fantastic. Other bonuses include a reading room for relaxation, a coffee shop with an outdoor terrace, and surprising for a hotel this size, a small pool and exercise room. If the frenetic pace of Hong Kong sets you on edge, you'll find this a nice retreat.

Facilities:
Coffee shop; small outdoor pool; small exercise room; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; free shuttle bus to Central, Admiralty and Wanchai
