positive:
Great location close to Happy Valley racecourse.
This hotel enjoys a prime location, positioned directly between Hong Kong's premier shopping district of Causeway Bay and the famous Happy Valley Racecourse. You'll also be just 500 metres from the nearest MTR station.
positive:
A good choice for travellers on a budget.
The rooms here are fairly good value for money considering the location, and offer a handy middle-ground for travellers on a limited budget. You can save yourself some cash by booking a room here over some of the more expensive hotels in the area.

Negative Reviews
negative:
The free Wi-Fi is not up to scratch.
One of the biggest problems with this place is the free Wi-Fi they provide. Trying to get connected is a real pain because of the weak signal. You'll have to head to the reception area for the best speed.
negative:
Rooms are most definitely on the small side.
Don't expect to be able to swing a cat in the rooms here, there is very little extra space provided. If you're sharing a room with other people you could end up feeling very cramped indeed.
negative:
Cleanliness leaves much room for improvement.
It seems that housekeeping are cutting corners at this hotel, sometimes the rooms are not cleaned thoroughly enough and some suffer from an odd smell. If you find your room dirty in any way when you arrive report it to reception straight away.
