Serviced Apts: Pinnacle vs. Shama (TST)

[fuzzysocks]

I've seen some comments on the forum about Pinnacle, but not too much about Shama. Anyone ever see the difference between the two and can compare, or have any opinions on which to choose?

Thanks!

dunno much about pinnacle.. Shama tst was pretty decent, i stayed there for a month. be aware that the internet there was fairly slow..

Shama is pretty solid, I have only seen the outside of Pinnacle and I would pick Shama over Pinnacle. However, I think Shama will cost more.

My work will be covering it for the 1st month I am there, so cost-wise should be okay. Depends on which one had availability. I just wanted to check so if both are available and one was a lot worse/better, then I'd know which to pick.

Thanks!

Isn't Shama on Nathan Road? Not sure how noisy that would be.

there was no hassle when i checked out last saturday, after staying there for one month (covered by the firm). do you work in ICC? it's $30 for a taxi ride, takes 5 min to get there from shama.. not bad at all..

[fuzzysocks]

no, i'll be at lai chi kok.

In case anyone is interested, I did pick Shama, and have been there for a few days now and it's pretty nice. I am at the one in TST, and I can't hear street sounds even though I am on a lower floor. No complaints here. And it's convenient to restaurants and supermarkets, too!
