[Review] Prudential Hotel (Duplex Suite) @ Hong Kong

Prudential Hotel.

Prudential Hotel

is located in a building with a small shopping mall that is directly linked to Jordan MTR station at basement level 2. There is a food court located at basement level 3. Its location is excellent.
However, the hotel has slow WiFi connection and noisy bathroom pipes. If these are not deal killers for you, this is a pretty decent hotel to stay at.

A note for taller people. The bed is short. It is only 6 feet long. If you are close to 6 foot or taller, your feet will be sticking out when you sleep.

The bathroom is located underneath the bedroom loft area. There is only one bathroom. So if you are in the bedroom loft area, you will need to go downstairs to use the bathroom. It is an inconvenience.

The bathtub comes with both a regular shower head and a rainforest shower head. It would have been nicer if there is a separate shower compartment.

There is a small closet with a safe box located next to the bathroom door.
