The Kowloon Hotel is at 19 to 21 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, a short walk from the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and part of the Harbour Plaza group. It is a compact, functional business hotel of about 736 rooms, and listings report an executive floor and gym.
Xi Hotel
Xi Hotel is a boutique hotel at 7 Minden Avenue, with about 64 rooms of roughly 220 to 320 sq ft. It is close to the MTR and the harbor front, and guests describe it as mid-range, good value and more intimate than its larger neighbors.
South Pacific Hotel
The South Pacific Hotel is a cylindrical glass tower at 23 Morrison Hill Road in Wan Chai, about three minutes from Times Square mall. Listings report around 298 rooms and two restaurants.
Tane Residence
Tane Residence was described in our original feature as a serviced-apartment provider with studios in Central and Mong Kok for short or long stays. We could not confirm its current status or rates, so check before you book.
The Sohotel
The Sohotel is at 139 Bonham Strand in Sheung Wan, close to the Sheung Wan and Sai Ying Pun MTR stations and the SoHo district. Listings describe 37 individually designed rooms, with breakfast served in the room. SoHo itself sits south of Hollywood Road and is known for wine bars, restaurants, galleries and antique browsing by day and nightlife by night.
How should you choose?
Pick Tsim Sha Tsui if you want the harbor and the MTR, Wan Chai if you want local food and trams, and Sheung Wan or SoHo if you want bars and galleries. Our own rule: spend the saving on a room above the fifteenth floor.
