If you're a peninsula type of person, then I wouldn't recommend staying in The Samrock. But if you're after a place which is reasonably priced, good enough to serve your needs (you don't stay in hotel all the time after all), and is a stone's throw away from shopping establisments, then you may want to consider staying there. The rooms are considerably clean, although outdated, and the location is comfortably within a busy part of HK. The hotel staff are very friendly and accomodating. If you need to buy basic stuff, there are more than a couple of convenience stores nearby and restaurants all around. The nearest train station is just around the corner (Jordan) so getting to and from your destinations shouldn't be a problem. If you're a coffee addict, the Starbucks across the street should be a plus factor.

Shamrock Hotel is not a sham, that's a fact. 'Stayed here last year with my family for our annual holiday break. It was a pleasant, the food was just fine but what i have noticed is they served the same food for breakfast. Also, not to mention one of our fellowmen got irritated with the server beacause she took away the guest's plate eventhough he is not yet done eating. The room was elegant though old fashioned. The bathroom is clean and without a doubt one of the best place in Hongkong (our hotel bathroom) due to cleanliness. The staff is approachable and helpful and you can even leave your things in the lobby, unharmed from any kind of thief. Do not be deceived or misled to the pictures that you are saw in their website. Seems to be that they have the advance and futuristic design but to see is to believe. From my point view, Shamrock Hotel needs a refurbishment, when we are talking about the interior. The former should be updated in terms of the design, which is by the way an indespensable one for the edifice. Location wise, is very comfortable. Situated just beside the Jordan MTR station, very convenient for the future and existing clients and shoppers. With due respect to the hotel, comfort, no frills, convenience, practical is the best adjective to describe this establishment. I'm giving it a grade of 7 out of 10. And 'really appreciate all the good service of them.

very near to subway,convenient.Nice breakfast buffet,fair price,rooms are clean.But I really think they don't have much sense of beauty in decorating or interior design.They have wierd crystal light hanging under cheap ceilings in the room.Out-fashioned design seems was created decades ago. Strange and old fashioned carpet everywhere.Very old styled room door.I think the owner try to save money to hire a interior designer,and believe himself could be good interior designer.Well,the outcome seems to be wrong.I suggest they shouldn't save money for hiring a interior designer.

I was in hongkong last Nov 6-9, 2007 with my mom. Its my second time in HK but i had no idea what the hotel looks like. We thought that it was just like a pension house.Actually, I was not really after of the comfort but i just needed a place to sleep & where i could keep my things. With the small amount we paid for our stay, who would expect such kind of accomodation. When we arrived, we were surprised to see the place, its location..etc. Its at the center of Nathan Road surrounded with shops where one could easily buy watever she/ he wants. The rooms were clean, safe & , staff were soooo friendly. It really was beyond our expectation. Aside from this, it is very accessible. (near Jordan Terminal & a bus stop in front, next to a Japanese bakery & Spagetti House). It was next to home since most of their guest are Filipinos... Im really looking forward to going back there probably for a week. So guys, if you want a place thats easy on your budget, then go for this place & i guarrantee you, its worth the penny you spent.... Enjoy!!!
