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

the.fat.guideFeb 26, 2020

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.

Check-in

Prudential Hotel: Escalators leading up to hotel lobby.

Prudential Hotel main entrance is located on a side street. The hotel lobby and front desk is located upstairs and is accessible via escalators. Alternatively, you can get in and out of the hotel using one of the side doors in the shopping mall. The mall is directly linked to Jordan MTR station.

Duplex Suite

Duplex Suite is essentially a high ceiling loft room with double height windows.

The room entrance is located on the lower level, which extends out to the living room area, bathroom and balcony.

On the upper loft level is the bedroom area.

Living Room Area

On the opposite wall is a TV and writing desk.

Mini bar fridge and tiny pantry located underneath writing desk.

There is a 2-seater sofa in the living room area. On the opposite wall is a TV and small writing desk. The mini bar fridge and tiny pantry is hidden underneath the writing desk.

Balcony

The double height windows in the living room area opens up to a narrow strip of balcony outside, with a nice city view of the neighbourhood.

Bedroom Loft

A spiral staircase leads up to the bedroom area, where there is a small dressing table, a queen size bed and a TV.

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.

Bathroom

Small closet and safe box located under bedroom loft area next to bathroom.

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.

Hotel Facilities

Scenic view of the city skyline at 16th floor.

On the 16th floor, there is a lounging area with a scenic view of the city skyline. Some newspapers and magazines are provided. Also located on the 16th floor is a small gym room.
