Klaus found this information:
The book "Golden Guide to South and East Asia" from 1967 gives the following information: "Clover Hotel, (380 Nathan Rd., Tel. 846191, cable CLOVERTEL). 86 rooms, single 25$ up, double 35 up, suites 70 up. Chinese restaurant."
I've guessed the completion and demolition dates for the building were roughly the same as for the Astor Theatre, which was also on this site at the same time.
The hotel changed its name several times over the years - see Stanley's comment below.

Clover Hotel - Royal Hotel - Chunghing Hotel
Clover Hotel was in the same building as the Astor Theatre. In early 70s, name was changed to Royal Hotel, then Chunghing Hotel before demolished in 1987.
re: Clover Hotel - Royal Hotel - Chunghing Hotel
Thanks Stanley, I've updated the details above.
Re: Chunghing Hotel
On the photo of the Chunghing Hotel a MTR ventilation shaft is visible behind the hotel. The Tsim Sha Tsui to Kwun Tong line started in December 1979, this should give an estimate for the name change.
