Nothing to get excited about

Not the world's most exciting of hotels - whilst clean and a reasonable size en suite room, it's all pretty basic. Tiny pair of lifts service hotel of 20+ storeys - made more noticeable by the fact that the reception is on the first floor.

But it's a budget business hotel, and whilst it may have seen better days, you get what you pay for.

Unique Quality: I tried this hotel for a different experience of Hong Kong - namely staying in North Point. I doubt if I would do it again! Not the most exciting parts of HK and a long journey from the main drag.

Well priced hotel in a handy area.

I recently stayed at the Ibis North Point hotel (in North Point). The hotel is right next to a MTR station. This should be in your price range. The upper floors have nice harbour views and costs a few dollars more. The cheapest way to get there is catch the A11 bus from the airport - cost is HK$40, takes about an 1 hour. The bus terminates outside the hotel. There is an Citygate outlet mall at Tung Chung (near the airport). I would recommend a day trip to Lantau Island by ferry (then catch the bus) to see the Buddha, do some shopping and/or have a meal at the Ngong Ping 360 (next to the Buddha), then take the cable car (one way, not return) to Citygate at Tung Chung. From there you can take the MTR back to the hotel. I suggest you get an Octopus card at the airport - its makes traveling around easy.

Unique Quality: Initially I thought this hotel might be too far from the action. However, it is right next to a MTR station so everything is not that far away. The airport bus also stops outside the hotel and departs/arrives every 20 minutes.

Ibis Northpoint

This place was ok. The room was very small. I was expecting it to be small, but my room at the Mirador Mansions was the same size and cheaper. However it was clean, and the bathroom was nice. It is a little far away from central but very near the MTR Station ond the Tram Station.

Cheap hotel on HK Island by the sea

We were looking for a cheap, clean and simple hotel on the HK Island. Ibis North Point was just great. The views to the sea were nice (our room being on the 19th floor). The rooms are really small, but new and clean. The shower and bathroom was clean as well. The hotel is located just outside of North Point underground station, so you can easily access just about any place in HK. Also the ferries to Kowloon will leave almost in front of the hotel. We reserved a superior double room from an internet site for about 50 EUR per night. Normal doubles were 380 HKD/night.

Unique Quality: Nice view to the sea, cheap, clean

beautiful harbour view

I stayed at this hotel for two weeks when my brother's family visited us. It is located near my mother's flat. It has an excellent transportation system. The MTR exit is simply 1 minute away. Airport bus stop is right opposite the hotel. There are a variety of bus route to everywhere. The room was very small but clean. If you are lucky, you will have a panaromic harbour view. I will not call the location downtown but you can get anything near the hotel. And you can get to downtown, e.g. Causeway Bay, easily.

The smallest rooms for the lowest rates

The IBIS North Point provides without doubt the smallest hotel room that I have ever seen (end before someone asks: yes, I have been to Japan!). However, considering its location and splendid view, it also provides some of the lowest room rates to come by.

Opened in 2000, the outside design looks very trendy and surely stands out from its surrounding grey-in-grey residential apartment buildings. Entering the hotel from its single ground floor entrance, a couple of twin elevators and a staircase lead up to the reception desk on the 1/F.

The rooms are extremely small (approx. 8 sqm!) but provide all standard equipment: Queen size bed, TV, air conditioner, hair drier, a couple of drawers and coat hangers for your clothes, private safe, kettle, fridge, tissue box and a small windowsill that functions as desk. The bathroom is narrow but functional and includes a (very) small shower cabin with shampoo dispenser.
(For an impression of the room, please follow the above link "1 more photos")

Positive
- cheap rates
- friendly staff
- good location (right in front of North Point ferry and bus terminal)
- very close to MTR (30 seconds from exit A1)
- splendid view towards Hung Hom and Kowloon Tong (sea view rooms only)
- broadband internet access available at 1/F (chargeable)

Negative
- extremely small rooms
- lousy breakfast "buffet" (if you have the choice, don't take it!)
- air-conditioner is blowing directly onto your bed and there's no lever to adjust

Conclusion
If you are shorter than 1.85m, travelling on a low budget, don't intend to spend much time in your hotel room but still want to impress your family or friends with some pictures of your Hong Kong sea view hotel room, the IBIS North Point might just be what you are looking for!

Well-located but oh-so-tiny rooms!

This high-rise hotel in North Point on the western end of Hong Kong Island is beautifully located with great views across to Kowloon from the upper floors, but the rooms are miniscule. They do have all the amenities up to and including computer ports, but if you can't turn around without bumping into something, all the amenities in the world don't help much. That said, if efficiency and location are important -- and you don't intend to spend much time in your room, it's a great place to stay.

Unique Quality: The views, the food, and the service are all great.

More about Ibis Century Hotel (Hongkong North Point)

Love the view and value for money

by TripAdvisor Member inkyboing

I have just returned from a 5 days 4 nights stay in Hong Kong. Stayed at IBIS Hong Kong for 4 nights and it was great! I booked 2 rooms (there were 4 of us in the trip) for S$100 per night and it was valued for $$$!. Each of us paid abt S$50 only including room service and taxes. We had an excellent habour view on the non smoking floor. There are 28 storeys in all and we stayed at the 18th floor. Jus the perfect height to admire the view and provided ease of getting into the lifts. There are only 2 lifts.

The instant coffee , tea and jasmine tea provded was good. My roommate n I made full use of the electric flask available. There are 2 power pts in the room , so do bring multiple adapters if u have camera, handphone and whatnots to recharge.

Thought the toilet n shower room was compact, but we found it okay. Shampoo and cleansing foam was provided. Handsoap too. Toothpaste is not provided. Hairdryer and an empty fridge are provided.

The hotel is located abt 2 mins walk from Northpoint MTR station adn it i surrounded by cheap resturants, nice dessert stalls (if u bother to walk around and explore ur area), and night market.

Hmmm....dun try the food at the hotel restuarant cos there are cheaper alternative around IBIS.

The hotel room bed is okay for asians but might be a bit cramp for taller built westerners.

If u intend to book a room from the hotel website, make sure u check that the room given is habourview, and request for non smoking floor if u are non smoker.

The Rooms are small the view is large

by TripAdvisor Member I-want-to-know-why

We stayed in the Ibis North Point for two nights in January and we knew from all the other comments on the site that the room have a reputation for being small....and well yes they are! Im not a great big bloke but with the two of us in the room it was a challenge. But for the price you pay at this place its a great deal. They know there rooms are small and they are a bed factory hotel but they use the space they do have well, if you are going to Hong Kong for a more than a few days or have lots of luggage then this is not the place for you. If you want to spend more time experiencing all there is to do in Hong Kong and just want somewhere to lay your head and have a shower then you will love this place. Its so easy to get to from the airport just step outside take the A11 airport bus and it stops right out side, the MTR (subway) is two seconds down the street and will take you anywhere you would need to go. I have to say I don't know what the food and things are like in the hotel because there are just so many places to eat in the rest of the city. Hong Kong itself is excellent so much to see and do, we only spent a few days here and that was a good time frame for what we wanted to get out of the place.

Ibis North Point

by guo_mei_xin

can anyone tell me the exact location of this place? I hear it's near the bus station (buses going to airport, A11). From North Point MRT, which exit do I go to? Any nearby landmarks?

Re: Ibis North Point

by DHK

You should take A12 instead from the airport.

Bus Stop list:
1. outside Airport Station, Aiport Express, opposite to Passenger Terminal
2. Lantau Link, towards Kowloon, near Toll Plaza
3. Western Harbour Crossing, towards H.K. Island, near Toll Plaza
4. Des Voeux Road, opposite to Grace Mansions
5. No.1, Gloucester Road, outside Hong Kong Academic for Performing Arts
6. No.7, Gloucester Road, outside Immigrant Tower
7. Java Road, outside Central Main, North Point Estate
(other bus stops afterwards are skipped)

You should get off at Java Road, outside Central Main, North Point Estate. You will see the building just across the road.

You may go to www.centamap.com to search the building name. and you will find.
Hope that help. Cheers.

Re: Ibis North Point

by Vita500

Bus no.A12 is possible but not recommended! It's more difficult to take (you don't know where to get off) and it's more expensive.

Bus no.A11 is the easiest way as you don't need to worry about anything. Just take it from the airport and get off at the very last stop, which is the bus terminus at North Point Ferry Pier. The pier is right opposite the IBIS North Point, you really can't miss it. Takes about 1 minute on foot.
The MTR subway station is right below the hotel. There is an exit about 20 seconds from the ground floor entrance. I forgot the exact exit number but I have it mentioned in my tip of the IBIS. Check my Hong Kong page if you're interested...

Cheers,
Robert
