99 Bonham

Awesome gem of a place in Sheung Wan. It feels more like a serviced apartment than a hotel, and looks like it too. It’s super quiet since there are only two rooms per floor. I rarely see other guests except in the lobby.
Their design is very dark and minimalistic, which I love. In my premier suite there is a huge window, nespresso machine and free snacks. The room size is also really good especially for Hong Kong standard!
The location is amazing. Just 8 mins walk to central, 3 mins to sheung wan mtr, a stone throw away from gough street and tai ping shan street.
Highly recommended!

I’ve always prefered hotels to apartments when traveling because I hate to make beds, prepare breakfast and clean up when I’m on holidays. But when we were picking our accommodation in HK I had to compromise and «accept» to stay in serviced apartments. We knew accommodation in HK was higher than in other places in Asia and expected high prices but still, we were a bit surprised of how high they were (⁴⁄₅ star hotels in central areas), so we had to set a budget and also decide which area we wanted to stay at. Finding a 4-​star or up hotel for under 160 euros/​night in a central area that we actually liked wasn’t easy but we picked this one in Sheung Wan area and its lively atmosphere and I’m glad we did.
Bonham 99 are serviced apartments a solution that seems pretty common in HK and it actually was like staying in a hotel: daily housekeeping (except for one day that was a national holiday), a reception, towels, etc. We were impressed by the quality of everything in the rooms, from the Frette bed linen, the kitchen, design lamps and even the audio/​video systems.
The hotel is located in Bonham Strand, a busy street in Sheung Wan, surrounded by small shops selling ginseng, mushrooms and many other weird things, there are a couple of stores like 7 eleven open 24 hours where one can buy stuff for breakfast, drinks, etc. It is a 36-​floor modern building and there are 3 apartments in each floor, all apartments facing the city, not the harbor, but the views are nice if you like looking at buildings (close your curtains because probably there’s people who enjoy looking inside the buildings as well). All apartments are equipped with a kitchen, tea/​coffee maker, toaster, some closet space, comfortable seating area, etc.
The nice staff down at the reception also told us that we were free to bring food and drinks to the rooftop where there are chairs and tables — still, no views of the harbor, only the city.
Also, the MTR station was really close to the hotel so we went around pretty easily, even the Ferry Station for Macau is 3 blocks away.
In all, it was a great choice and a good experience with serviced apartments so I definitely recommend it.
