Lonely Planet Review

The Charterhouse is an enlivening hotel that sits in-between the Hong Kong Island districts of Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. It's top-heavy with ornamentation and with light-hearted social facilities, such as the Nightingale Karaoke Club with its cheesy singalongs, and the popular basement sports bar called Champs.

The Charterhouse's rooms have an appealing traditional look involving lots of wood and brass - a style the hotel calls 'neoclassical' - though they tend to be on the compact side. Facilities in each room include minibars, in-house movies and marble bathrooms. The 'Junior Suites' have a separate living room and bedroom and are dressed in a more contemporary neutral style. The respective atmospheres of Harry's Bar and the Gazebo Restaurant are a little underwhelming, both places suited to more generic hotels.
