Frommer's Review
This older hotel, opened in 1992, is a 7-minute walk via covered walkway from the convention center and the Wan Chai Star Ferry terminus with service to Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom. Its airy, two-story lobby has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a busy intersection and is plagued by the constant hum of traffic, but since there are very few seats available, you probably won't spend much time here anyway. Narrow corridors lead to minuscule rooms, which are mercifully equipped with double-paned windows as well as touch pads on phones for controlling lights and other functions. A few of the most expensive doubles offer a partial harbor view between buildings, as do some of the rooms on the Royal Club executive floor, but standard rooms face other buildings. Probably the best thing about this hotel is its facilities, including a wading pool. Unless you can get a room cheaper than its published rack rate, however, I'd choose one of the less expensive Wan Chai hotels over this one.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 lounges; outdoor pool; wading pool; exercise room; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting

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.
