must start with - splendid breakfast - reminded me of my past life in england. we were on tour to china and had our return flight from hong kong, which is just 45 minutes from shenzhen in china as opposed to above 1.5 hours for guangzhou - for international flights, and thus had just one night to spend in hong kong. earlier we thought to save some money - lookin...

From Sept 15th to 17th, I stayed in this wonderful Hotel together with my wife and 4 colleagues (we were on a company trip). This is my 3rd trip to Hong Kong and I must say although I paid much more for the previous 2 hotels in Hong Kong Island, but this is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in Hong Kong or anywhere else! From the airport, we chose to take Bus n...

Reflecting a mission of absolute quality and a promise of utmost comfort – a home-away-from-home for each and every guest, all guest rooms and suites feature Samsung LED televisions, custom-d...
I had an amazing stay at Harbour Grand Hong Kong hotel. I was unable to accomplish all my tasks during a day's business trip to Hong Kong, therefore had to make a last minute booking. Because of the Chinese Dragon Boat festival, all Hong Kong's hotels were very expensive and busy that day, and the price for a 3 star hotel was almost the same as the price I found on ago...

Butterfly on Prat was amazing. It was easy to get to, close to a lot of stores, restaurants, and places to see, and the staff was superb - friendly and efficient! We were a family of 5 (with 3 adult children), and the 2 rooms we got was kinda small for the us kids. Too bad all the twin bed rooms were fully booked, that would've been better. But that one little discomf...
the hotel it self is really great. it is hard to find a decent size swimming pool in the hotels in hong kong, but the one is royal view hotel is perfect. i went to the gym in daytime and it is almost no one there. how good is that! i have stayed in many 3-4 stars hotels in hong kong, this one is the best in terms of facilities and size of the room. it gives me a fe...
This location was exactly what you'd expect out of a BW Hotel in Hong Kong: great facilities, extremely helpful staff, a very comfortable room with a very functional design. Your options for shopping and eating in Tsim Tsa Shui are unlimited, as either direction you step from one of the exits will lead you to tantalizing choices. It's for that reason we declined to tak...
I was highly impressed by Auberge Hotel. This is a brand new hotel in its "soft" opening phase. Large rooms, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, everything is new. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, great value. Just be aware that you CAN'T catch a taxi to this hotel because Discovery Bay is a car-free zone. The only way to get there is by ferry from Central then b...
It was our first time in Hong Kong so we decided to get a 4 Star Hotel. After arriving at Hong Kong airport it took us a few minutes to find the Harbour Center Counter, but after we found it, we felt taken care of already. Cost us HKD$140 each for the airport shuttle to the Hotel, it was a fairly large bus, and it only seated a few of us. This is where we learned that ...
the bp international hotel is the perfect hotel to those who wish to visit hongkong for shopping, sight seeing, food tripping, or simply just getting to know its cultural heritage. the hotel can be reached either via taxi cab or mtr from the airport. it's location is very strategic. every necessity could be obtained in a walking distance (money exchange, 7-eleven conve...
We came through Hong Kong for business. Two families, each with an infant. What we wanted was a hotel in Hong Kong that was decently priced and had a swimming pool for the children. This hotel is well-designed and well-maintained. Front desk staff are very professional. There is an hourly shuttle which takes you to/from Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel). In our opi...
GDH nailed it, again. Check in was a breeze, as always. I had booked an Executive again, and was totally surprised to have been upgraded to a 1 bedroom on the Executive Floor (16). Simply outstanding, especially for the price. GREAT bed, AWESOME bathroom, and comfortable amenities. The location is spot on for pretty much anything anybody would want to do in Hong Kong a...
Staying in Rosedale was a good experience. We had a warm welcome by the staffs and checking in was done efficiently. Although their hotel space is small (Most of the hong kong hotel are small in terms of space/room), its good enough for us to sleep over. Ideally, we will be traveling the whole time in hong kong, so you wouldn't spend much time in the hotel. Hence, we a...
tsim sha tsui is the place to stay for leisure travellers looking to do some shopping in hong kong. there are countless hotels in tst, but the gateway is my top choice given its location, price and quality of service. the gateway is surrounded by malls and shops, being situated along canton road, and accessible through the harbor center mall. at night, visitors can hav...
Firstly, I loved the location of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find it so near to the mtr exit! It is always a walkable distance to mongkok which is a plus point for me. To top it all off, we were very welcomed by the staff of Inn hotel who was very friendly and helpful. We managed to get the room ok the 30th floor which has a superb view (the harbour). Not ...
Hotel rooms in Hong Kong hotels are notoriously small, and the "superior" rooms in the Metropark hotel at 21 sq.m. are just adequate. However, the staff is universally excellent, and the service first-rate. If you want a double bed, you had better phone or e-mail ahead of time, because otherwise there may be none available when you check in. The hotel's location is con...
Regal Riverside's glory comes in it's design which is straightforward, convenient and relaxing whilst maintaining a charmingly simple but elegant style. I think it is perfect for families on holiday and tour groups whether they be your conventional tour group or school groups (we saw a few groups and they looked quite pleased). The hotel itself has a welcoming and plea...
the prudential hotel is the hotel that i stay at all the time when i stay in hong kong. the location is ideal as it sits on top of the jordan mtr station. it's also centrally located on nathan road with shopping and restaurants on either side of the street. the rooms are clean and modern however they are small. the hotel is reasonably priced for hong kong hotels. my ra...
This is my second time in Hong Kong for 2012. Compared to my previous trip, this hotel is definitely much more comfortable in terms of the area. Location was rather convenient as well as there is the Airport Express Shuttle Bus (H2) available. (To and fro from Hong Kong station). The hotel service staff were warm and friendly and have a good command of English. The...
Well , so far this is the best service I get from overseas hotel. No language barrier as the staff is able to communicate in English fluent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The luggage was send to the room after I check in to the room 5 mins. Fast service. Room was average size compared with other Hong Kong hotel. So far this is the best hotel I stayed in Hong ...
The hotel is one of the better ones that we had stay in Hong Kong. It is : 1) To get to the hotel from the airport is so convenient. By taking the public bus, it takes us almost to the doorsteps of the hotel. 2) Local food is all around. It is so convenient to have a taste of Hong Kong by stepping out of the hotel. 3) Public transport to other parts of Hong Kong is so ...
The Shamrock Hotel is an excellent choice for those looking for a low-to-average cost hotel. The staff at the reception speak very good English and the rooms are relatively spacious for a Hong Kong hotel in Kowloon of similar standards. The rooms are also very clean and comfortable, and comes with a safe in the closet. Bathtubs are a bit small, but proportionate to the...
This hotel is an ultimate in luxury. Pleasantly surprised!! They upgraded our room to a suite which is a right timing, we went to Hong Kong for my wife's birthday. My wife had a great time celebrating her birthday there. You brought joy to her special day, 🎂Thank you for your Sweet Thoughtful GIFT! 🎁 Our stay at Park Hotel Hong Kong. was full of joy. Loved it! Br...
The hotel is located right on top of the China Hong Kong Harbour. There are routes to Macao, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and others.. I believe it is quite convenient for business traveler from the Pearl Delta. There is also a great shopping mall just below the hotel. It is very convenient to shop and fetch a ferry back to Macao. Canton Road and Marina corridor, Star Avenue are a...
Cheap places to stay in Hong Kong SAR, China
It was my first time to travel abroad and me and my colleague have limited budget hence we have to book in a cheaper place where we could stay for four days and three nights. We booked at Ashoka Hostel because based on my readings, they got good reviews and positive feedbacks from tourists who have been there. We weren’t wrong for checking-in at Ashoka. When we arri...
It was my 3rd visit to Hong Kong and first time check-in to Delta Deluxe Hotel. It was an amazing experience staying in here. It was affordable housing at its best in HK. My first impression was the receptionist, chinese guy receiving with a warm welcome smile made me feel comfortable. I was really impressed with the kind of cleanliness they maintain the entire hotel a...
The location is superb and close to supermarkets, banks and subway. There is free boiling water, snacks and drinks, and free laundry. The staff are super accommodating and the place is well run. The facilities are good but the place is small - this is to be expected in Hong Kong, surely? Would recommend
1.) Location and staff The location of this hostel is excellent, steps away from the MTR and few hundred meters away from the ferry to Central. The staff are nice and hospitable enough to show us the room. 2.) Comfort First of all, understand that this is Hong Kong:- floor area is a scarcity and very expensive in this country. The room that i experienced was very smal...
It was satisfying...though we were quite disturbed with so many stores and people at the lobby. This is a good place to stay when u visit HK. Very near to ocean park and museums and avenue of stars. Subways are just few steps away. I will recommend this place for sure.
Room are very clean convenient for shopping, transportation .Middle of hong kong so easy to go to anywhere in hong kong Specially good for branded and local Shopping all kind of food you can find near around the place excellent experience. Travelers staff helped me to book all my tickets for ocean park Disney land.
I have stayed for 12 days during my stay in Hong Kong. The hotel is very good with a good price. Located on 16th Floor in Chung Kin Mansion which is the prime locale in Tsim Sha Tsui, just a minute distance from Metro Rail, Bus Stop and a 5 Minutes walk from Ferry. This Hotel has Good Staff, Rooms are always clean, equipped with 24 Hours Hot Water and Air Conditioner. ...
The stay in this hotel is good. Basically it is a budget hostel and it allows you to stay with cheaper price compared to other 3 to 4 stars hotel in Hong Kong. The hotel is very clean and the security system is consider not bad. Fast internet is another good thing to share. Besides, the hostel is centrally located at Tsim Sha Tsui where we can access to anywhere via th...
When we checked in on that day, we saw the rooms we booked was really small and not even to put our luggage. Luckily the host, Andy was very kind to us and allowed us to change our 5 units of room to service apartment at Mongkok and Youmati and paid the taxi fare for us from New Lucky to the apartment and without additional services charge. we all stayed there happy fo...
I'd highly recommend this place over others in Hong Kong, very cheap for the money and our room was clean, although tiny. The location is in a very convenient part of Hong Kong just across the water from Central and near a subway stop, the only reason I give Location 3 stars is because it is located inside Chungking Mansion where many other hostels are located, and you...
I booked a single room, but got a double, it’s Hong Kong and very few tourists, prices are down. Good selection of toiletries, but had to ask for towel. A bit above average, for in Chungking Mansions
I booked a single room here, in Block A ChungKing Mansions, because I wanted to see what the dormitory rooms were like, seem quite ok. I had changed travel plans, and was able to stay a night earlier than booked; Li’s Chain Hostel has replied via Agoda, agreeing that, and the Check in was very easy. I was offered a reasonable priced upgrade to double en-suite room, whi...
When we travel, we always look for a place that gives as convenience because we travel to relax. Woodstock hotel is the best place I stayed in Hong Kong. The transportation is very accessible from Taxi to MTR or bus. And the restaurants also are very near like if you are looking for a fastfood, there's McDonalds and Jollibee. And if you want fine dining, Sky Lounge of ...
Booked this hotel when I've been to hong kong for Business Meeting. Wifi service was pretty good and uninterrupted which was a definite need when you Travelling outside.
Hostel is located inside the famous Chunking mansion. Everyone in Hong Kong knows about this building. Near to metro right middle of city. It's a building with more than 50plus hostels ( infact 90percent of hostels in Agoda are inside this building ) shops, money exchange, restaurants are available downstairs. If you're aim is to stay at hotel all the time durin...
I stayed in this hotel so often already and wrote so many reviews in which I mentioned the top value for money, the free WiFi, the equipment of the rooms including fridge, and of course Sherie, John, Cristy, and the rest of the staff who let you feel welcomed throughout your stay. So now I would like to write a few things to avoid someone being disappointed when arrivi...
It was fine to me with this price. My room wasn't bad except it's very small which is normal for guesthouse in Hong Kong. They allowed me to leave luggages before I checked-in and after I checked-out. Location is very convenient in mid of Tsim Sha Tsui and a minute walk from exit N5 of MTR Tsim Sha Tsui. If you look for something cheap, here is ok.
The ground floor of Chungking Mansions is very crowded and full of merchants and stores, run mostly by South Asians. This area is a smorgasbord of people from all parts of the world, with a considerable number of Indians, Africans, as well as Caucasians and East Asians. The lifts were tiny, with room for up to only seven people, and the lines were long especially durin...
I stayed at Fortunate Guesthouse for a week. I was blown away by how great the staff was. Very friendly! And she was constantly changing the linens for me, and providing me with new towels, and in general keeping the place clean and tidy. I would often come back at night to find her cleaning the bathrooms or other facilities. Cheap with a good location - you can't get ...
I was not able to go to the accomodation since my flight was delayed and I was not able to ride the last trip ferry from macau to hong kong. But still thank you!
Very comfortable bed. with separate shower. Beautiful area with exceptional Hong Kong island
One thing you have to realize is that this is Hong Kong and real estate is super expensive, so being a couple backpacker it was hard to find an affordable price without compromising the quality of the hotel too much if you know what I mean. But I must say I lucked out with New London Hotel who apparently also owned Marigold hotel in another block. As you would expect i...
I always stay at one of the hotels of Dhillon Group when I'm in Hong Kong, like the Days Hotel or Day and Night Hotel. The rooms are the best in the area among budget hotels, although small, but in a top condition and clean, and equipped with not only the basic things like air conditioning but also sometimes a fridge or safe, depending on the room, the hot water of the...
This isn't a hotel! So I wasnt expecting much, especially becoz many friends mention that the mansion is not exactly the best building in the area. But Tom's exceeds my expectation. I've been travelling to many places, Tom's surely is one of the cleanest. If you stay here and wanting to complain, let me remind you again: this isn't a hotel! It's a guest house, in the m...
An honest review for a choosy traveller: First- the location is great because it is at the center of a tourists interests site. Although Jordan (near temple street) can also be an option because it just a few minutes walk away, the location of this this hotel is a lot closer to the harbour going to Macau, canton road for shopping and other attractions like the avenue ...
We stayed at the Unique Hotel for 3 nights in August during a two week trip in Hong Kong, in our experience if you're going to stay in the Chung King Mansions then this is the place to stay! Kumar the owner is very friendly and nice as were the cleaning staff. This place is located in the semi-infamous Chung King Mansions, you'll probably read horror stories online ab...
I was just over-nighting on my way to Mainland China and Dhillon Hotel is in a good location for me as a way-station between the airport and the East Rail Line to China. The staff here are friendly and will help you out. One example: I was up in the middle of the night and needed a new battery for the mouse on my computer and one of the gentlemen at the front desk kind...
The management of cebu hostel are very hospitable, accomodating and are happy people. There was one time in hong kong last 2017 when there is difficulty in booking hotels so i tried looking for a hostel to temporary stay thats the time i tried Cebu Hostel thinking the owner is a Filipino but when i meet the owner he's not a Filipino but they are very friendly and the ...
Asia Inn is one of the most conveniently located Inns I've stayed in Hong Kong. I love the fact that going to HK from TST via Ferry was very fast and very easy. Just a lite warning though, if you're not that queezy about staying in a lplace with a lot of Indians and Africans, this is your digs. Asia Inn is very easy to find, just hop on an A21 bus from the airport a...

This is one of the best hotel in Hong Kong and we love it so much. Hopefully they can keep at low price and we will surely stay there again if we were to visit Hong Kong again.
We stayed in one of Butterfly's deluxe room and were given a room showing off the Hong Kong skyline and Happy Valley race course. The hotel is a 5/10 minute walk from Time Square and in a great location. Rooms are super clear with funky designs. Internet is good and easy to connect to without password or restrictions. There's was also a good selection of channels on t...
Although our taxi driver did his best to suggest we were staying in the worst area of Hong Kong we loved the location! Literally on the doorstep of the local food market with an original and genuine view of real life in Hong Kong; this location was perfect for us.. 2 mins walk to Kings Road where you were in the heart of north point and its shops, cafe's, restaurants a...
My husband and I decided to take a few days off to Hong Kong without our children, we have been to Hong Kong many times and stay in various hotels within the centre area. Hong Kong hotels are typically expensive with tiny space and get-by-only-mordern-decoration with no details. So for the same price range, I considered Nathan hotel to be a really worth-the-value dea...
Tsim Sha Tsui (sounds a little like chim sha choi when natives say it) in Hong Kong is right across the water from Hong Kong Central and is the heart of shopping and entertainment. This hotel is perfectly placed to take advantage of that. If, like us, you plan to spend little time in your room, and want to be where the action is, this will be a good choice. That said, ...
if you're planning to stay at the tsim sha tsui area, then the ymca salisbury hotel is highly recommended. it offers great value for money considering its location, and depending on the type of room you book, it affords you a view of the victoria harbor, which nearby 5-star hotels also offer at a considerably higher price. and while it would be unfair to compare the y...
I would say it is the Best Price ever if you would like to have a short stay in Hong Kong only for some good sleeping time every night. The location is fantastic. You can walk to Centre. The variety and food around the hotel are good and value for money. Hong Kong is small! You can not expect to have a large room like when you are doing a budget traveling in Unite...
Guandong Hotel is located just in the heart of Hong Kong which made it perfect for leisure and business travel as well. The staff are very courteous. Its not a busy hotel which makes it perfect even to bring family along. What is interesting is that they have refurbished the rooms and even the lobby is now more welcoming. Arriving at the hotel surely feels like com...
I have stayed in many hotels in Hong Kong and chose this because its a great location, easy for transportation and close to Wanchai's famous computer centre. It turned out to be a great find because the room is just so well designed. Lots of nice veneers, a fabulously comfortable bed, electric outlets everywhere (even in a storage area above the cupboards!), nice wal...

We stayed in Hong KOng for four days and i am glad i chose this place. i have read reviews before, and although there are hundreds of positive, glowing reports, i read the negative reviews. and you know what? those people probably are just miserable old people. This hotel is the best hotel we have stayed in in Hong Kong. we have visited Hong Kong before, but this by f...

Hotel Vic on the Harbour is probably one the best value for money hotels in Hong Kong. At the time of this review the hotel was only three months old and as you might imagine, the rooms are very modern have great amenities and are remarkably clean. North Point is not in the main touristy parts of Hong Kong which has its advantages. However, between the free hotel shutt...
We chose this hotel as a friend in Hong Kong lives nearby. We had a twin room which had two double beds which provided ample space for my wife and I and our 5 year old son. The room was spacious by Hong Kong standards and the bathroom was modern and well-equipped with a bathtub and separate shower cubicle. The harbour view from our room looked out across to the old ...
East Hotel is my favourite hotel in Hong Kong. It is so conveniently located and it is clean and beautiful. The staff are multilingual and they are extremely helpful and friendly. The MTR station is right beside the hotel and it is located under the big Taikoo shipping mall where the yummy food court and zilions of stores are. I will recommend East Hotel to anyone who ...
this is the best hotel i've stayed in hong kong over the past decade of visiting there! i grew up in hong kong and have stayed in very many different (4 starts) hotel. luxe manor is just uniquely lovely, tough a little quirky. staff are nice and helpful, room decor is bright and funky, which is a contrast to the surrounding streets and is very nice to return to after a...

Thanks so much for the W experience team! We felt so warm from the moment we checked in! They kindly upgraded my room, and prepared a birthday cake for me! Also the hand-writing card was so touching!

This is hands down the best hotel I have stayed at in Hong Kong. OK so it does not have a sky bar (there are plenty within 5 minutes walk!), but the staff are amazing. The best staff I have ever encountered in Hong Kong. Friendly, attentive, professional, smiling, attention to detail, helpful, happy... I don't have enough good words for the staff from top to bottom a...

The location is fantastic. We would stay in this hotel every single time we are in Hong Kong. The hotel located right next to a supermarket and the Causeway Bay MTR Station. Just down the road, you can get all the shopping you want. If you are hungry, fret not, there are lots of restaurants surrounding the hotel. If you want value for money hot-dog, head down to IKEA, ...
Hong Kong hotels are pricey. It is not easy to get a 5 star hotel with reasonable charges in good location. While Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel and Towers was not really cheap on the room rate, it offers pretty good value for money in Tsim Sar Tsui area. Superb location that offers good connectivity via MTR, fantastic Victoria harbor view and interesting shopping malls with...
We have been there for the second time already. Both times we felt the hotel as exemplary. From the lobby to the guest rooms everything is very nicely decorated and exudes luxury and comfort.The hotel is overall large. It has unobtrusiveness although it shows luxury. At the breakfast, lunch and dinner is a very large selection of dishes from east and west of the worl...
Hong Kong is a mere 1 hour and 40 minutes flight away from Manila so it is a frequent destination for me and my family. We visit this vibrant city at least once a year and love going the week after Christmas. My first time to Hong Kong was when I was a 7 year-old kid and this was known back then as the Miramar. In recent years we used to stay in another hotel in Kowloo...
Beautiful hotel, everything has been thought about and I will now only stay here when I’m Hong Kong for business of pleasure. The only small negative is the lack of gym equipment in the gym. It’s beautifully designed, but it lacks heavy weights and other machine equipment. There’s certainly space for it, if they re-organised the layout.
Luxury hotel. At the moment should be the world's tallest. Friendly staff in reception, not always in Hong Kong hotels. The room is big and quite good illuminated, nice bath room and amenities. Fast working in room dining. Pool is in 118th floor and of course with this magnificent view. Check out smooth and friendly. Little bit far away and not the cheapest hotel in...
The hotel is very new with nice amenities. Everything was in theme and my daughters loved every bit of it. A very good option if you're doing 2 days in Hong Kong Disneyland. We got a sea view room and the view was magnificent! We did not get to try out the pool but it looked great. Definitely staying there again just to enjoy the hotel.
This was a last minute booking as we had changes to our flights and we did not have too many choices. The hotel is a little pricey for an old hotel but it is well maintained and has many F&B options. Upon check-in, the receptionist had received our request for a baby cot in the room and this was done efficiently. We were also pleasantly surprised by the quality and ...
