Cheap Hong Kong Hotels (Semi-affordable)

By thomascrampton ⋅ April 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Here’s a list of reasonably priced Hong Kong hotels that I recommend to my entrepreneur friends who prefer to deploy their company resources in places other than rooms with panoramic views of Hong Kong harbor that they never have time to enjoy.

I will periodically update this list when friends want or offer hotel recommendations. If you are a similarly-priced Hong Kong hotel savvy enough to follow blogs, feel free to leave your details below. Also, if your hotel is listed here and something is incorrect, let me know.

UPDATE: Here’s a list of even cheaper places compiled by the blogger Fili.

Amazing how many of these hotels do not have Internet!!

Prices (which I do NOT guarantee) valid as of 14 April 2009.

- Ice House HKD1200 + 10% for a 320 sq ft studio. A personal favorite. Actually a serviced apartment, Ice House is good value and near the Foreign Correspondents’ Club. When I last stayed there, rooms did not have Internet, but there were numerous open Wifi signals to catch.
38 Icehouse Street +852-2836-7333
- Biship Lei International House - Church-owned simple and clean place near central hong kong. 4 Robinson Road, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong Phone : (852) 2868 0828
- YWCA MacDonnell Road simple and quite cheap. +852-2877-3737
- Empire Hotel 33 Hennessy Road, Wanchai +852-2866-9111
- Rosedale on the Park HKD1400 +852 2127 8888
- Harbour Plaza North Point HKD1400 No Internet, I believe.    +852 2621 3188
- Lanson Place Hotel HKD1400 +852 3477 6888
- The Excelsior Hong Kong HKD1400 No Internet, I believe. +852 2894 8888
- Lan Kwai Fong Hotel at Kwai Fong HKD1400 No Internet, I believe.  +852 3650 0299

Some others to add: JJ Hotel, Jockey Club Mount Davis Hostel, Courtyard Hotel, Holiday Inn Causeway Bay

  • Hongkong is a good place to go backpack traveling and Hotelbackpacker.com can offer assistance to all travelers especially backpackers to find cheap accommodation, and more.
  • the Royal Park in Sha Tin can also be cheaper, HKD1000/night; & can get cheaper if you stay a week or more. Though if you're working in Central it would be a long commute everyday; basically the first place to stay if you're coming from Shenzhen.

    Island Pacific in Western gets OK reports....good wandering among the dry fish shops as well for an authentically pongy Asia experience.

    Courtyard by Marriott in Sai Ying Pun was quoting me HK$750 per night late last year... Fairly recently renovated and the price is low possibly due to the location.

    Also Metropark hotel on Tung Lo Wan Road just to the south of Victoria Park has rooms just over HK$1000 each... very cool rooftop swimming pool too (closed when I went there) There is a cross-border bustop just outside so there are plenty of mainland tour groups.

  • The good thing about Hong Kong is that the neighbors of hotels often offer free internet. That is not how it should be, but it helps.

    Eaton on Nathan Road. US$130 when I stayed there last year. Also Novotel CityGate has good deals occasionally (US$108). I am not sure if these prices are current though.
  • BP Intl Hotel - http://www.bpih.com.hk/ I've always had 1 or 2 bedroom rooms, but I've seen bunkbeads in some rooms. all rooms have bathroom, their all clean, & safe. but no frills....also the A21 bus is on the corner. This is owned by the boy scouts of HK

    Chungking Mansions? Great TST location and rooms from around 100 per night.
