YWCA Garden View is about 5-10 minute by taxi from Hong Kong station and is quite convenient for the airport. Rooms are pretty basic but spacious enough. Windows however can't be opened! The hotel charges for internet (100HKD for 24 hours). There are no convenience stores near the hotel and only one small restaurant that serves basic breakfast on the... More

The YWCA runs a very fine guest house, and this one far beats its sister on the Kowloon side. Rates are reasonable, cleanliness is good and the location pretty convenient. But they do need to smarten up a few details, especially in making their wifi work like other establishments. Breakfast is not included and it takes the front desk 5-10... More

I stayed at this hotel for four nights a few weeks ago with my girlfriend. We were very happy with the room, and the location is pretty good - within walking distance to Central / Lan Kwai Fong - but, upon checking out, they charged us for Internet access and use of the minibar. My girlfriend had flown out early,... More

Great hotel with nice location.booked it through agoda with discount,everything is very clean,towels,sheets are fresh .i would give excellent if not the Internet. Theoretically there is wi-if,but practically you need to pay 100 Hong Kong dollars for 24 hours using it.. Which is quite expensive considering that there is Wi-if everywhere P.s. there is wi-fi in botanical garden that is... More

Very reasonably priced hotel with clean quite spacious rooms in the mid levels area. The hotel is located a bit out of town but it is a nice 25 minute walk through the parks to Central metro, better to take a taxi back at night. There is also a gym which is quite well equipped, didnt try the breakfast there... More

You get what you pay. For a good prive you get a good hotel room, well located, and a good service. Only thing i can complain is that there's no free wifi. And the wifi you pay, you can only use in the lobby.

The hotel is located in the midst of Mid-levels high-rise condos in a quiet neighbourhood. The location is convenient in going to/from the city center. It is even on the path where the Peak trams pass by. This hotel is quaint but very clean. The views are great from the window of my room. There is a grocery nearby, so... More

We found the location convenient, the rooms clean, and the hotel providing just the right level of services, with the one possible exception the price/availability of their Internet. However, I enjoyed checking my email and surfing the web while sitting in the beautiful park/garden across the footbridge, where the "Free Government WiFi" signal is strong. A great excuse to get...

Acknowledging the general assumption that hotel price in HK is expensive, you want to secure yourself and your belongings. That is why I chose this place. To get there, my guide book told me to take a bus ride from Central area. Howeer, it is actually easy walking distance from MRT Central station, once you know how to walk. Some... More

I stayed here for two nights in order to be close to a friend who lives on the Peak. It was perfect for that and in a quieter location than most hotels in HK, although this also means that it's away from bars, shops etc. and not easy to get to/from on public transport. My view of the skyline towards... More
