The location is a bit off the main road, but in an area that is not as commercial as in Nathan Road.

We got a room on the 18th floor, modern and with a very nice view. The room, however, was very small, but had all the facilities that a traveller needs, apart from space. We were travelling with two medium sized suitcases and two trolleys. There were hardly any space to store the suitcases and trolleys. If you wanted to open them up, you had to put them on the bed. With heavy suitcases that is a lot of heavy lifting. Normally you would put what you needed for a couple of days in the cupboards. In the Empire there is not enough room in the cupboards for two people, hardly for one person.

One nice tip about the location though is that is close to the Kimberly Steps and the arcade, which is across the Kimberly street, with a lot of nice restaurants.

Would we stay there again. No!
The quality is ok, but 'no' due to the location and the lack of space.

This hotel had an excellent location - close to all activities in Hong Kong, restaraunts, shopping, and walking distance from the harbour.

The rooms were very small, but from my research - this is common in Hong Kong.

The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was good.

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel in Hong Kong. The location was excellent. Walking distance to major tourist areas and subway.

The rooms were tiny and the beds were slightly hard (which is too be expected), but left much to be desired. We were on a high floor and had a nice view, but some of our friends (we traveled in a group of 8) did not. Also, we were checked into a non-smoking floor, but all of our rooms were smoky to one degree or another.

There is a pool and breakfast buffet, but we didn't get the chance to check out either. We preferred to go out for dim sum brunch both days.

The one downfall was the absolutely horrible customer service, by one employee in particular - Ken. Stay away from him. For some reason we were given rooms with 2 twins, and were easily able to change those to queen rooms although it was a bit of a hassle. But, due to some miscommunication error between the tour company and hotel, we were only given 7 breakfast vouchers instead of 8 and the hotel was less than helpful, in getting this fixed. We never did get this fixed. It wasn't quite the customer service that we're used to in America. We hoped they give us the voucher and work it out with the tour company. We had the tour company's phone number and offered to wait while they called, or let us call but they would have none of that and were quite rude about it.

But, if you're looking for a moderately priced hotel in Hong Kong and don't need it to be super luxurious, this is the place for you.

Stayed here for 1 night in Dec 06 and compared to my stay here several years back, the hotel continue to upgrade itself which means it still look new and good.

The rooms are extremely small and is considered expensive for this rate but if you like clean modern facilities, this is the hotel for you. Located close to Knustford Terrace (hype dining area) and with several eateries nearby, this hotel is good and the airport shuttle bus is just opposite the hotel. One of the better hotel along Kimberley Street and definitely better than Stanford Hillview which is close by too. On the same street, there is a new boutique hotel, Luxe Manor and futher up, there is also another small boutique hotel or should I say tech0hotel, Mingle Place, which I have also reviewed.

No comments on the F & b establishement there as I never eat in hotels in HKG when you are spoilt for choice out of it. Adequate pool as well and this hotel is definitely recommended despite the small room as all you need is a clean nice hotel to sleep in.
