I stay there on the last day of 2007. It's an ok hotel for me if compare to other hotel i had stayed in Hong Kong. It's value for money and it's sure you'll get what you pay. It's not my first choice as i thought Kowloon area is more crowded. But since i travelled on 31st Dec, not much choice for me.
I read all the reviews from this hotel here before i took my trip to hong kong. As i travelled with my family( husband, child and mother), i really 'scared' by the comment here for it's a red district. But, it didn't bother since the 1st day of my stay there. Really nothing! Just many pubs around and girls waiting for the clients to come in, that's it. No disturbance at all. Just for the foreigner( especially those english ppl they preferred). That's what i saw. Trust me, walking around is safe for family.
MTR Wanchai station is damn near( as written by others-->2 mins walk). There are three 7-eleven shops aorund the hotel. The nearest is just opposite the hotel. You'll just need to cross the road. And a 24hours coffee shop is also opposite the hotel too. You won't get hungry unless you don't have money. There are even more coffee shops, convenient stores along the Hennessy Rd. I never walk to causewaybay as it's a far distance and wasting time. Just take a cab or train instead.
For the hotel room, i couldn't say it was clean as there was stain on the carpet. The bathroom is small, same as the bath tub. Bed was very hard, pillows are thin(2 each bed). But the service is good. Check in was slow but check out was fast.There are only 3 lifts which will be a bit slow if too many people using.
So, that's why i said it's an 'okay' hotel. Not too good but not too bad. Average.
