Wharney Guangdong Hotel

"The Wharney Hotel makes an excellent base in Hong Kong. It is situated in the heart of the downtown area of Wanchai on Hong Kong Island, right in the middle of the entertainment district, close to good restaurants, bars and pubs. The streets in the vicinity can be very livety in the evenings. Great shopping areas ( both malls and street markets) are just a few minutes walk away. The hotel is handily placed for public transport e.g. MTR (underground railway) and buses and there's a taxi stand right outside the front door. The standard of service in the hotel is first-rate : the staff are very friendly and efficient. The basement bar, "The Canny Man", is a great place to have a drink and light meals and again the staff are excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending The Wharney for business and tourist travellers. On my two stays I didn't see any children staying there and I would not regard it as a family-oriented hotel."

"As others have noted, the street outside the hotel houses some "bars" that are active from afternoon until after midnight. However, the area is quite safe, and the noise level is minimal. In short, don't let the immediate neighborhood dissuade you from staying here - this is a great hotel, at a great price, a short stroll from the tram line and the MTR. "
