What has 7-up Restaurant become?

The old 7-up Restaurant (七喜酒樓) in Kowloon City has been turned into a hotel without an English name.

七------>大

喜-------->東

酒--------->酒

樓----------->店

This green hotel is of small scale! There are shops on ground level – a Gas shop, a Jewellery shop, a small shoe shop and some others. It is interesting that when we walk past this hotel, we never know its existence because it looks more or less like a shopping centre instead. There is only a staircase leading to the hotel. I believe this hotel is not really a hotel but a mini-tel (蚊型賓館).

I don’t know how good its business is, but I saw a customer climbing up the staircase to the hotel at the moment I took this photo!
