Stayed at Standard Room for one night, room with city view instead of seaview, clean and spacious enough for 2 persons, but room and bathroom are tired. Limited selection of TV channel, bad TV receiver, room in old design, no separate bathtub and shower, and finally no WIFI in room except lobby. Anyway, renovation and upgrading work are in progress.... More

An excellent city hotel. Although the rooms were not big there was sufficient space for 2 people to move around. It was very clean and comfortable with plenty of storage. Breakfast was very good with ample of choice for both Eastern and Western visitors. Staff were very helpful and we stored our luggage there for two nights free of charge.... More

We spent the remaining days of our stay in KK at this hotel because of its location and view. You'll have a good scenery of the ocean just outside the hotel.That being said, that same view will no longer be available soon as construction of another building across the street is undergoing. The hotel is also close to everything being... More

Quick overnight stay. Late arrival at 11pm. Room is decent enough...comfortable bed and pillows. Had a great sleep. Breakfast spread was good but located too spread out all over the place. NO wifi internet in the room except via cable (need to pay?) and TV channel selection is poor for hotel of the stature (No CNN ??). The good thing... More

I have always stayed in Promenade when in business in KK. One had good scenery of the ocean once you stepped outside and good club. The hotel is being renovated and the club is gone and the scenery is no longer there being blocked by a new building. The quality of the room is still there and breakfast is good.... More

Service pretty slow, rooms a bit old, breakfast spread reasonable but for the price I've paid, I think it should be better It seems the place is being utilized by a lot of Government linked Corporations for meetings, etc. They were renovating the upper floors but they started banging and drilling as early as 8.00 am - Most annoying. Won't... More

Was here on a business trip. The lobby & rooms were classy but the toilet area does not have a bidet which I assume should be a standard for all hotels. The reception area could be bigger to be more efficient. I especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Lots of variety to choose from. The hotel is walking distance to some... More

hotel doesnt take good care of long term or regular customers. the rooms are old n not refurnish and smell. the only reason i stay is the location but now many new hotels are mushrooming there. the sea view at lower floors will soon be blocked by new shops n hotel in front.

The room has some aging smell from the carpet and shower screen. Breakfast food selection is pretty poor. Fried eggs supposed to be hot. Coffee served is of pretty low quality. Credit due to be given too. Reception staff are pretty efficient in handling check in and checkout. Bell boy is pretty helpful. Location is pretty good.
