The hotel is in an excellent location, a stone's throw from Tin Hau MTR, tram and bus stops plus only around 10 minute walk through Victoria Park to Causeway Bay with Times Square shopping on your doorstep.
The standard rooms are light and airy but are pretty small. Beds are queensize and there is only just enough room to walk around them. Bathrooms are a good size though - no bath but nice shower and plenty of fluffy towels and goodies.
As you long as you get a habour view room, it's good value for Hong Kong. I can imagine a room at the back overlooking the flats won't seem so much of bargain though.
The staff were lovely, nothing too much of a problem. Concierge extremely helpful. Recommend the airport bus which costs around HK$120 and also an Octopus card which you swipe on all publc transport - buy from the customer service kiosks at any MTR station for HK$150 ($50 refundable).
The only problem I had with the hotel is the air con. The room was a little musty and smelt damp - although it was spotless and there was no evidence of mould or mildew in the bathroom. It felt like the air con was on recirculation giving the room a slightly sweaty/damp feel. We turned it off at night (lucky it wasn't summer) and this helped a little.
We didn't try the restaurant as it seemed pretty expensive and bland for what was on offer outside the hotel (some fantastic Japanese on Electric Road). The rooftop pool was amazing.

We stayed at this hotel for our first wedding anniversary and it was amazing. We went in February 2007, which was a good time of year to visit Hong Kong - warm but not too smoggy. Also it was the Chinese New Year celebrations, which were a spectacle to behold! We would highly recommend this hotel.
Location
Great location on Hong Kong Island. Handy for the metro or the tram. Breakfast was not included in our stay, but on the same street was a 7eleven and a lovely bakery. There was a big leafy park across the street and a large public library a few mins walk away with free internet access.
Room/General
Majority of the rooms have an unobstructed view across to Kowloon - brilliant for watching the new year fireworks. The room itself was large, comfortable and modern. It also had a nice bar area with a complimentary drink on arrival (and people doing hilarious chinese karaoke!).
Service
The staff were very friendly and had good recommendations for things to see & do. They looked after our luggage on our day of departure so we could have some extra time in the city.
Negatives
Can't think of any! Perhaps that the pool was closed while we were there - but it is on the roof, and so only open in the summer months!

I only stayed 3 nights, I couldn't fault it in anyway, and the view from the roof was simply stunning.

The room is very small. I was given a smoking room at the beginning but reception replaced the room for me later on.
It is clean and near to Tin-Ho MTR station. And the view from roof pool is very good. It is good value for the cost. (US 100 without breakfast).
