I have stayed at a number of...
I have stayed at a number of similar standard hotels in Hong Kong over the years, and I found the Eaton Hotel to be similar in comfort, fitout, surroundings, service etc.In fact in a number of ways I think it was a little better than some. In general, with the exception of one issue which I will explain in a moment, I was actually very happy staying there.
I was initially concerned with the location, as I normally stay around the Wanchai/Central/TST areas, and thought that Jordan may be a little too far out of the way. In fact, not so. Walking distance to Kowloon Park, the main shopping centres of TST, and minutes walk from Jordan or Yau Ma Tei MTR stations. (And I am a prolific user of the MTR when in Hong Kong.)
HOWEVER, one issue. When I arrived I was told that they did not have a room with a full bathroom on a non-smoking floor which I had requested. i.e. It did not have a bathtub, only what Reception described as "a stand-up shower". As I normally only ever use the shower anyway, I said I had no problems with this. I assumed that the "stand up shower" was an enclosed shower place with solid or glass walls. But when I got settled into the room, I discovered (a) that the bathroom was larger than I had expected at this standard so no problems with that, BUT... the so-called "stand up shower" was simply a small shower base in one corner with a shower curtain around the remaining two sides. It was near impossible to have a proper shower because the shower space was so small, and the shower curtains so close that they kept clinging to my wet body, and water always ended up going everywhere across the rest of the bathroom floor. Additionally, the actual toilet suite was at a very unusually high seating position that almost required one to climb up onto the seat.
But I would stay at Eaton when I visit again.
