Great views of Tsim Sa Tsui
This is a 24 hour hotel. It's busy, constantly buzzing and a great place to stay. The airline crews use this hotel, and it is popular with business men too.
We found the rooms were a little dated but clean and had everything you would need. We were given champagne, roses and a fruit basket when we mentioned it was our honeymoon (we mentioned that an awful lot on our holiday - amazing the lengths people will go to, to ensure you have a good time).
The view was incredible, we overlooked Victoria Harbour with Tsim Sa Tsui on the opposite bank, and sat in our window seat for hours taking photos of the storm clouds and the fantastic city at night. The windows were old and single glazed which seemed odd on floor 25, but you couldn't open them and they seemed secure eneough so that was the main thing! The beds were comfy and rooms were quiet but I did think that rooms nearer ground level might suffer a bit from the noise of the main road. We slept, ate and drank very well here.
We went into the English bar (the Dickens Bar) for a couple of drinks and it was exactly what it said on the tin, an English bar. Nothing hugely exciting and a bit expensive but I suppose very useful for the homesick (although Hong Kong itself is still extremely British).
Oh, I didn't actually take any pictures of the hotel so sorry for that, but the view is worth looking at. Repeatedly!
Unique Quality: The best thing about this hotel is the view from the windows. Fabulous, and you can gaze out for hours. Just make sure you get a harbour view room!!
A close second is the restaurants and room service. Food and service was great in both cases (we ate in 3 of the restaurants), but with the room service, it's brought to you on a wheeled round table with white tablecloth. The dishes are covered with golden domes, and you are given gold(en) cutlery. Far superior to many hotels who provide a tray only. Top quality.
