YMCA International House, Hong Kong

Lovely Hotel in Hong Kong

Advantages: Lovely hotel with excellent service
Disadvantages: none

restaurants one Italian, one Chinese and one International cuisine. We chose the International cuisine which was set out in a buffet style. However, this was not your usual buffet! There was so much choice and everything was beautifully cooked and displayed. Even breakfast was a feast and something to be savoured. The buffet style also gave us the chance to try lots of different foods without having to pick just one dish. There is a lovely outdoor swimming pool on one of the upper floors, I think it was the 14th but can't remember exactly, surrounded by a sunbathing terrace. We didn't use the pool as we were only there 4 days and we spent those seeing as much of Hong Kong as possible. The public areas are beautifully decorated and so clean. The reception area runs into a lounge area with lots of comfy chairs and a piano where entertainment ...

Review of Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, Hong Kong

Excellent Hong Kong Hotel

Advantages: Great transportation links
Disadvantages: none

When trying to decide on a hotel for our trip to Hong Kong we did a lot of research and opted for the Metro Park Hotel in Causeway bay rather than its sister hotel in Kowloon.

It is well located too with the MTR station being just along the road, the trams passing the end of the road and the bus to Stanley also just a short walk away. The hotel also runs free transport to Causeway Bay shopping area and also Wan Chai for the conference centre and star ferry. The hotel has car parking on the ground floor and you enter the reception on the first floor by lift ...

Review of Metropark Hotel, Hong Kong

Sleeping in Hong Kong

Advantages: affordable,convenient
Disadvantages: nnone worth mentioning

This month I had the pleasure of going to Hong Kong on a research trip with two other recent graduates and a lecturer in sociology. It was an amazing trip and I am sure I will write more about it very soon indeed. But this review is about our base, the Charterhouse Hotel. The hotel is on Wan Chai Road on Hong Kong Island, a very convenient base for sightseeing, shopping, eating and basically everything. Wan Chai Road is between Wan Chai MTR (metro) station and Causeway Bay station, a 5 minute walk between the two. The website is www.charterhouse.com, which may give you more information. As this trip was funded by research committees, we booked standard rooms, which were single rooms with an en suite, at about £50 a night including breakfast. The website illustrates the deluxe rooms and suites, but our budget did not stretch to ...
