YMCA International House Hong Kong, Hong Kong

This hotel was referred by our company's travel agency. I checked the reviews on the internet about this hotel. it's true that the location is great, it has good restaurants nearby, a laundy shop just across the street, and a few steps away from the Yau Ma Tei exit of the MTR. Upon arriving Hong Kong International Airport last 1 Feb 2007 (we stayed till 4 Feb 2007), we got the Vigor Airport Express Bus for HK$110 (one-way) will bring you directly to the hotel and also you can use this service when you are flying out of HK. They have a desk in the hotel. Also got the Octopus Card at the airport, since we will be using the MTR often during our stay. It was our first time in Hong Kong and it will be helpful to get to know the hotel, its vicinity, how to get there and how to get around HK from the hotel. This is just 2 or 3 star hotel so don't expect a butler at your own beck and call. Upon arrival at the hotel, the front desk staff were poilte, and accommodationg. We reserved for a standard twin sharing room, and was given an upgrade in the new wing supposedly, until I opted for a smoking room. got also the same upgrade, though we were booked at the other wing at the 10th floor facing a Lutheran Church, and the sunrise which we liked. The room is average in size and has a receiving area, a door leading to the bedroom with 2 beds. It also has 2 toilets, which is favorable so that me and my friend can use simualtaneously. It has also an in-room safe to store your valuables, 2 TV sets with limited channels and an english news programs. Hey, why will we watch TV, we'll move around so no bearing at all. We did not eat at the hotel (although they have restaurants), instead we opted to eat at the restaurants across the street and around the hotel which is cheaper and within our budget. My friend and I liked this hotel, and we will definitely book in this hotel next year when we come back and explore more of Hong Kong.

Average sized room, with receiving area. Well lighted corridors. Quiet, even if your neighbors' TV is loud, you won't hear anything. Locatiion, a block away from Nathan Road. Restaurants, Foreign Exchange, Laundry, U-right shop, 7/11, and bus stops are accessible. Within the vicinity of the Temple Street Night Market, and Ladies Market. The staff are just as helpful if you ask them how to get to some of the places you want to see. They have ready maps to show you how to get there.
