Guangdong Hotel Hong Kong

Summary:
Clean rooms, helpful staff, quiet, and super convenient. I stayed here seven nights recently and had no complaints.
Details:
— Our room was about 235sq feet – small but not cramped, and with a separate and surprisingly large bathroom. I say surprisingly because HK hotels are famous for their tininess, but this room seemed palatial compared to some I’d seen online.
— Wifi was included free, and pretty fast and reliable, though it dropped out momentarily here and there.
— The location is literally a two-​minute walk from the TST station’s A2 exit.
— We stayed on the 11^th floor, and up there we were high enough to see the sky and get a decent amount of light. The view wasn’t the most inspiring – it’s a «city view» per their website, but don’t imagine expanses of neon towers; our view was of just a few buildings across from an alleyway.
— The room came with complimentary bottles of water – two small bottles every time the room was prepped by the maid – and an electric kettle, with coffee and bags of pu’er tea.
— The «Noble Quad» lounge on the 17^th floor is handsomely appointed and feels very airy due to big windows and some outdoors space, but alas, has no view.
Misc neighborhood memories:
— Check out Lucky Dessert (
) at the end of Pratt. It’s about a half-​minute walk from the hotel and offers excellent desserts, including Hong Kong specialties like mango grapefruit sago.
— Also, if staying here, the Museum of History is only about a five minute walk. There are English tours once a week.
— Lastly, there’s a cool-​looking Singaporean grilled-​sandwich shop at the other end of Pratt, but it’s skippable. If you’re in desperate need of any sort of toast, then, by all means, this is your place. Otherwise, there’s better food to be had.
Other thoughts:
I liked this hotel and would feel comfortable recommending it to anyone, but if I came back to Hong Kong, I’d try to stay somewhere with a view. It would cost more and maybe be a bit less central, but Hong Kong is a city meant to be seen from high up and at a distance.
