Frommer's Highly Recommended

The word "House" in the name is misleading, since it is actually a 25-story hotel, with a spacious but utilitarian lobby catering mainly to tour groups, school excursions, and budget-conscious business travelers, which gives it a dormitory-like atmosphere. Located at the north end of Kowloon Park, it's just a stone's throw from the park's indoor and outdoor public swimming pools and a short walk to a playground, making it good for families. The park's many paths also make it popular with joggers. Guest rooms, located on the 14th to 25th floors, are tiny but spotless, pleasant, and modern, with showers rather than tubs and fold-down vanity mirrors to create more space. Despite the hotel's inland location, some corporate rooms on the top floors offer great views over Kowloon Park of the harbor, the Peak, and the Symphony of Lights nightly laser show, as well as such extras like combination tubs/showers, minibars, and hot-water kettles. The very simple "Family Rooms" are equipped with bunk beds that sleep four for HK$1,450 (US$188/£94).
