Jill writes:

In 1859 the National Hotel appears to consist of three tenements “on I.L. 12 A west of Aberdeen Street”, also given in another item as “I.L. 12 A, Queen’s Road.”

An 1856 map (Plate 3-1c, Mapping Hong Kong) shows Inland Lot 12A is the block of land between Queen's Road and Wellington Street, to the west of the Aberdeen Street steps, shown by the marker above.
