High-rise buildings now block the Dorsett's sea view, but the location is still a good one if you want to see traditional Hong Kong. Guest rooms are very small; staff are friendly and efficient. The hotel is close to the Yau Ma Tei MTR as well as decent shopping; Shanghai Street is filled with shops selling everything from handmade kitchenware to temple offerings. The restaurant has bargain-priced buffets, especially for lunch. The hotel often gets very busy with tour groups and checkout can be chaotic.

If you're only expecting a place for sleep, better prepare for the worst. If you're paying for a hotel room, I advise you better think twice.
