Top choice in Kowloon
A good balance of price and quality, Otto has 56 immaculate, well-soundproofed rooms and a fantastic location in the heart of TST just seconds from the MTR. Smallish rooms are cleverly designed so even the cheapest category has space for two, including walk-in rain showers and a writing desk. 'Premium Queen' rooms have views overlooking Kowloon Mosque & Islamic Centre.
Off-season discounts nudge Otto into the budget category.
