I first stayed that this facility, years ago. Although this hotel is now a bit older, it is very well maintained. All of the common areas (main lobby, lobby bar, restaurants and public rest rooms) are immaculate. With regards to my assigned room, images are attached--taken immediately after check-in, so that you can share my first impressions.
In my opinion, the room size was more than adequate. Furniture was arranged in such a way that the room did not feel crowded. The room's widows are large, which helps make the room feel bigger. (I had a view of the Happy Valley Racecourse.)While the furniture was not "brand new", it was clean with no obvious signs of wear. The mattress was comfortable; the sheets were clean and crisp. The carpet was clean. The bathroom of my unit was small (compared to those found in a more modern hotel). It had a shower--no bathtub. But the size is consistent with other hotels designed during the same era. The bathroom is where you see the most wear and tear; again, it was well maintained. The towels were always clean--but on some days, I got specimens that were newer than others. Amenities provided (which I valued) included: good Wi-Fi connection; 2 free bottles of water per day; a room safe; and a nice selection of toiletries. The television had good picture and sound--but I didn't visit HK to watch TV.
With reference to location, the hotel is a (rough approximate, for me) 5 minute walk to "Times Square"; 10 minute walk to the Wan Chai Ferry Pier; 10 minute walk to the Wan Chai MRT station; close to the Causeway Bay MRT. With adjustment for peak demand periods and weather conditions, taxis are available at the hotel's front entrance.
As for dining options, the hotel does have some nice restaurants. But there are a lot of eating options in the immediate vicinity, too. You can eat at a higher end restaurant; eat like a local--or at any price point in between.
Hotel room rates are a reflection of the location, total room size (sq. ft.), age of the facility and amenities provided. Given all of these considerations, I did enjoy my recent stay at the South Pacific Hotel in Wan Chai, and feel that the room rate paid was reasonable for that area of HK. The staff was also very helpful, when their assistance was needed. read more
