I was hoping for a bathroom view, but it sounds like I may in for a disappointment.
laspvg: After your stay, please update with your experience.
I just got back from HKG and stayed in Panaroma for four nights. The first two nights I booked into deluxe silver and got upgraded to superior platinum (Floor 33)as it was sunday and monday nights and I think they were slow. The room was small but the view was great. The other two nights ( friday and saturday)I booked superior gold and got upgrade to deluxe gold. The room was bigger but it was on a lower floor ( Floor 19) and the view was O.K.
My friend got the corner room with the view in bathroom and he certainly enjoy it.
The amenities are pretty good and clean but the mattress is on the firm side. I didn't try any of their restaurants as there are millions of restaurants and bars within a block. I used the internet access in their business center and it was pretty fast but charged $40 HK ( around $5 US) per 15 min.
The service was great and the staff speak good english and eager to help.
I paid $115 per night for the first two nights and $160/night for the last two nights. I think it well worth it as the location is great and right in the middle of shopping and dining area.
Taxi from airport cost around $240HK and you can take the bus which stop a block away from the hotel for $33HK.
I would book them again but due to the service level and location I think they will raise the rate soon.
