Frommer's Review

This simple business hotel opened in 1992 on the former site of the famous Soldiers' & Sailors' Home, a Hong Kong landmark for more than a century. I like this hotel for its location: on the tramline and only a few minutes' walk from the Pacific Place shopping center. Otherwise, its lobby, devoid of furniture, looks like someone tried to make it hip, with an odd mixture of oversized fake flowers and other objects hanging on the wall. Facilities and services are also limited, and all rooms are minuscule, with V-shaped bay windows and modern decor. Rates are based on bed configurations, floor level, and, to a small degree, room size: The cheaper rooms are on lower floors and are furnished with twin beds; the most expensive are slightly larger, with king-size beds, a small sitting area, and microwaves. Rooms facing the front of the hotel are noisier. The bathrooms are only large enough for one person, and the closets aren't tall enough to hang dresses. Even its "business center" is the size of a closet. It reminds me of business hotels in Japan.

Facilities:
Restaurant; business center; babysitting
