Nathan Hotel has been part of the Kowloon streetscape since 1968, the build year recorded in Traveloka's listing data, and the same data shows its most recent renovation in 2025. The hotel's own website confirms that its Platinum rooms were among the spaces refreshed in 2025, which means guests are booking a long-established address on one of Hong Kong's best-known thoroughfares rather than a brand-new tower, but with a recently updated top tier of rooms. That combination of more than half a century on Nathan Road and a recent refurbishment is what sets this property apart from the newer boutique hotels that have opened around Yau Ma Tei.
The hotel stands at 378 Nathan Road in the Yau Ma Tei area of the Yau Tsim Mong district, Kowloon. It is a 4-star property with 189 guestrooms spread over 15 floors, according to Traveloka's listing. The building is organised by floor into three room collections: Smart rooms on the lower floors, Nathan rooms in the middle and Platinum rooms near the top, and two of these collections come with access to a dedicated guest lounge.
Location is the other half of the story. Traveloka's listing places Temple Street Night Market about 0.2 km away and Jade Market and Shanghai Street about 0.3 km away, so some of Kowloon's most atmospheric streets are within a short walk. For travellers from Singapore who want an old-Kowloon neighbourhood experience with straightforward MTR access, Nathan Hotel offers a practical base with a clearly tiered room ladder.
The hotel's official website lists six room categories arranged in three pairs, with each pair occupying its own block of floors. Within each pair there is a standard-sized room of around 20 to 23 square metres and a larger "Grand" or "Plus" version of around 31 to 34 square metres. Traveloka's listing describes the guestrooms as featuring LED televisions with cable programming, complimentary wired and wireless internet, phones, safes and desks, with bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Exact inclusions can vary by room, so check the room details on the listing before you book.
The Smart Room is the entry point of the room ladder and sits on the 3rd to 8th floors. According to the official site it measures around 20 to 23 square metres and is set up with either one queen bed or two single beds, which makes it a sensible choice for solo travellers, couples or two friends sharing on a city break.
Also located on the 3rd to 8th floors, the Smart Plus Room steps up to around 31 to 34 square metres, with one king bed or two single beds. The extra floor space suits guests staying longer or travelling with more luggage.
Nathan Rooms occupy the 9th to 12th floors and measure around 20 to 23 square metres with one queen bed, according to the official website. Guests on the Nathan floors can use the Nathan Lounge on the 9th floor, which the hotel describes as offering self-serve coffee, tea and beverages round the clock, along with magazines, newspapers and travel books.
The Nathan Grand Room is the larger option on the same 9th to 12th floor block, at around 31 to 34 square metres with one king bed or two single beds. It shares the Nathan Lounge access of the Nathan floors, making it a comfortable middle-tier pick for couples who want more space.
Platinum Rooms are found on the 13th and 14th floors, the highest room floors in the hotel's room ladder, and the official site notes that this collection was renovated in 2025. The Platinum Room measures around 20 to 23 square metres with one queen bed or two single beds. Platinum floor guests have access to the Platinum Lounge on the 14th floor, which the hotel lists with computers, high-speed wireless internet and entertainment facilities.
The Platinum Grand Room is the top of the ladder, combining the 2025-renovated Platinum floors with the larger room footprint of around 31 to 34 square metres and one king bed or two single beds. It is the category to consider if you want the most recently refreshed room and Platinum Lounge access in one booking.
The hotel's website also references family and suite options. Availability and configuration of these categories can change, so see the property page on Traveloka for the room types currently on sale for your dates. A rollaway bed can be requested for a fee, and extra-person charges may apply, according to the hotel policy in the listing.
For a hotel of its age, Nathan Hotel covers a solid range of practical facilities. Traveloka's listing and the official website together confirm the following:
Services listed on Traveloka include a 24-hour receptionist, concierge, porter, luggage storage, laundry service and multilingual staff. Luggage storage is particularly handy in Hong Kong, where flights from Singapore often land well before the 15:00 check-in time or depart in the evening after the 12:00 check-out.
A few policy points are worth knowing before arrival. The property states that it accepts credit cards and does not accept cash, and that a government-issued photo ID plus a card or deposit may be required at check-in for incidentals. Pets are not allowed, only registered guests may enter the guestrooms, and the hotel does not supply disposable personal items such as combs, shavers and nail files, so pack your own. Safety features listed by the property include a fire extinguisher, a security system and window guards.
Nathan Hotel's address at 378 Nathan Road puts it in Yau Ma Tei, the stretch of Kowloon between Jordan and Mong Kok. The hotel's website states that it is about a 5-minute walk from Jordan MTR Station via Exit B2, which gives easy rail access to Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and onward across the harbour.
Traveloka's listing gives the following nearby landmarks and approximate distances:
The preferred airport is Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), around 32.7 km from the hotel according to the listing. Airport transfer is not listed as a hotel service, so plan your own transport into Kowloon by public transport or taxi. Travellers coming from Singapore can compare flights to Hong Kong on Traveloka and time their arrival around the 15:00 check-in, using the hotel's luggage storage if they arrive early.
The hotel's official website lists three dining and drinking outlets, which line up with the restaurant and two bars recorded in Traveloka's dining description:
Breakfast is offered as a buffet, served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM for a fee, according to the listing. Children aged 2 and under eat breakfast free, while a separate charge applies to children aged 3 to 11 sharing existing bedding, even on breakfast-included rates. The official website also lists a Starbucks Coffee on the ground floor, which is convenient for an early coffee before heading out. Room service is not listed as available, so plan meals in the outlets or the surrounding streets.
Step outside and the neighbourhood itself becomes the dining room. Temple Street Night Market, about 0.2 km away, and Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market, about 0.4 km away, put the area's best-known markets within an easy stroll. If you want to go further, browse things to do and food tours in Hong Kong to plan your evenings around the neighbourhood's markets.
The clearest reason to choose Nathan Hotel is the way it pairs history with choice. It combines a 1968 build year with a 2025 renovation, and the floor-by-floor room collections let you pick exactly how much space and how many extras you want, from a compact Smart Room to a Platinum Grand Room with lounge access.
It suits shoppers, food-focused travellers and business visitors who would rather stay in a lived-in neighbourhood than a mall complex. If you are weighing it against other options, you can compare other hotels in Hong Kong on Traveloka by location and room type.
Once your room is sorted, you can plan the rest of your Hong Kong trip, from flights to activities, on the Traveloka homepage.
