Reasonable size room for HK island and much cheaper than others we looked at. Service was basic, and they weren't very good at responding to our questions, but cleanliness and comfort was good. HK island is much nicer and quieter than mainland and Soho is only a short walk away for bars and restaurants. The immediate area surrounding the hotel is dead […] but the hotel is 25 mins walk from the ferry terminal, and less to the metro / airport express link. The walk back is mostly uphill however and HK is not pedestrian friendly. Don't let your girlfriend walk it in floppy shoes if she moans as much as mine does. Overall no real problems, but nothing to make us go back there other than if there was another cheap deal. Lees meer

For this price the hotel room was unexpectedly spacious. Nicely round shaped large window with a decent park view. Staff wasn't the friendliest but surely helpful and polite. Within walking distance to Central station, so I always walked down and took a taxi back up to the hotel. Supermarket around the corner was convenient. I had a room in the cheapest […] price category first but paid an additional small fee to change to a better view and it was definitely worth it. From the hotel you can walk up to the Peak in less than an hour. Lees meer

This is my 6th time staying in the Hotel. Room is clean, Staff is friendly, Taxi stand is in front of the hotel, and it is next to two parks, and the air quality is excellent, plus there is a upscale super market in the next building. And the price for the room in comparison to the others , is always best for your money.

Very well located...clean and well maintained, a hotel we would recommend to anyone coming to HKG. One small criticism...a daily newspaper to the room would be a gracious touch, particularly since we were resident for a fortnight's stretch! :o(

Based on a 4-night stay: location great, walking distance to center/restaurant areas. Great view over nearest park. Room not luxurious, but no complaints. Overall: great value for money.

This hotel was as expected, basic but clean with friendly staff. Location is perfect away from city centre and only a $HK 20 approx €2 taxi into centre. Our last night we were awoken to a flashing alarm light in the room, no bell or siren. We got dressed and went down 10 flights of stairs to be told there was a water leak that had affected the electrics. […] Went back to bed only to have a note under the door in the morning to tell us there was no water available. The staff were very apologetic and I presume this was a one off leak which was just our bad luck. After all the above I would still stay here again. Lees meer

The room has enough space to put all the luggages, better than normal HK hotels, which usually have small rooms. The experience of living here is good. Transportation to MTR is convenient through bus route 12A. I usually took 12A at Admiralty to the hotel, which is 20 meters to the hotel. 12A can also took you to Central. It is also near the Peak Tram […] Lower Terminus. If you are looking a quiet place, it is good. The only thing I'm not satisfied is the price, as it was X'mas season, I think the price was expensive.

I would not recommend this hotel, it's a bit far from everything and if you walk back to it from central area, it's all up hill, which is not good in hot and humid Hong Kong. Also I had a problem with Taxi drivers even knowing where this place was. The location is in the middle of a fairly quiet residential area, so if you like being far from everything […] and peaceful area, it's fine. But we prefer to be a bit more central, so we would not use this hotel again. The other thing we didn't like was this hotel did not have WiFi in the room. They only had WiFi for a fee in the lobby. There are very few places to eat nearby, the hotel restaurant is super expensive and not that good. If you must here there, exit the hotel and enter the restaurant through the other side of the building. It's the same restaurant, but they charge less than half the price. Lees meer

It was quiet and was convenient for us.

If you are looking for a cheap hotel close to central then this is for you. The roooms are clean and practical but small compared to other hotels in the area for slightly more money.

This hotel is about a 20-minute walk to the Central MTR station. Hong Kong is a wonderful city to wander around in by foot, but if the weather is disagreeable, this distance can be a bit inconvenient. Taxis, though, can get you to Hong Kong Station and the aiport rail in five minutes, for a very reasonable fare. The hotel staff was very helpful, aiding […] me in finding my way around Hong Kong. Aside from some carpet stains, the room itself was well-kept, clean, and very comfortable. Compared to other hotels in Hong Kong, the Garden View is definitely a good bargain for the price.

The hotel has a good location. The room was a good size, keeping Hongkong spaces in mind, a decent bathroom, friendly check in staff and housekeeping staff. It served its purpose of being a good place to sleep at nite. Its a no frills hotel. The mattress wasnt too hard, was perfect for the back. Only thing which I didnt like was that no visitors are […] allowed after 11pm. If friends or family want to visit or chill, its not possible. otherwise its a good hotel, reasonable and cabs were easily available outside to travel on the island or go to a mtr station. recommended!

Excellent facilities, but situated in a very steep part of Hong Kong. We could walk down hill to the city centre, but a taxi was needed to get back.The room was excellent and the view from room was great. The restaraunt attached to the Hotel was very poor, both in selection of food and quality of food.

Good location, can go down to center walking. Way back is harder as it is steep. Nice room, not great but nice. Surroundings are good, zoo and tram very close. Recommendable for tourist.

Stayed here in order to be close to the Central area including the train station. About a 15 minute walk through Central to the train station. Coming the other way is uphill so I would suggest a cab. Small rooms but clean and comfortable.

Excellent location with convenient access to all major attractions in central Hong Kong.

I was overall happy with my room and the nice park across the road, but the people at service desk were not overly helpful, after staying here for 5 days, on my last day, it was actually the security guy who advised me that there was a supermarket (a very well hidden one at that) just next door, he thought he'd tell me as he noticed that I was going […] to the small service station next door to get a few drinks and things from time to time... why didn't the service staff advise me of this upon check-in??? also, it's a bit out of the way and on a big hill so I got a lot of exercise walking to and from central... otherwise it's cheap to catch a taxi in HK... Lees meer

it's surprise that have to pay for the wi-fi in room

10 minutes walk from e. g. Staunton street or 5th minutes with taxi but still one of the cheapest hotels in Hong Kong. Very nice clean rooms, not big but all you need if you use the room as a nice place to sleep. Nothing extra but extremely good value for money. I truly recommend this hotel. Mats

I was really positively surprised with this hotel. Very pleasant service both upon arrival and checkout, hotel had good central location for me to explore around. Price-to-value was excellent for me.

About 15 minute walk up hill from central station but quick cab ride and walk down isn't too bad. Nice to be fairly close to Soho district for eating although at night need to take a cab there because probably not safe to walk through the park at that time. Mattress standard fairly firm, room clean, great shower.

This hotel has a great location if you want to stay close to the central station, which is only 10 min walking. We also walked back and forth to Lan Kwai fong and Soho witout any problems. The tram to the Peak also stops at the same road as the hotel. (but have to buy ticket before hand) . No wireless internet connection unfortunatly and the pay for […] cable was a bit expensive. Other then that is was a good hotel. The beds was very hard though. Clean and nice people. Lees meer

Hotel room was quite nice, and the staff were friendly. Although the hotel is a bit of a walk up from Central, it's not that long (took about 10-15 minutes to walk down, approx. 20 minutes to Star Ferry), and it's quite scenic, as you can walk through the HK Zoological Gardens. Hotel benefits from having a Fusion Park 'n Shop downstairs (HK supermarket), […] and also some good, cheap takeaways and restaurants next door as well. All in all, great choice of hotel for location and price, would highly recommend. Lees meer

We liked the hotel very much and it was very handy for sightseeing and for getting down to the harbour for harbour tours etc. Also it is only 5 mins walk to the train station for the Peak visit, which was very nice!! One negative point is that you need to request WESTERN beds when booking.... we had very hard Chinese mattresses, and we requested another […] matress to put on top. This helped a bit, but did not make sleep any easier really. Lees meer

It was a find middle range Hotel. The rooms were clean and fine. The swimming pool was though closed, which we finded annoying, while we booked this hotel because there was a pool there.

This hotel is located a 10-15 mins walking distance to the nearest MTR but also siutated on the hill. It's not convenient to walk back to the hotel so we took the taxi back most of the time. Daytime receptionists were not friendly/interested in you but nightime ones are very nice. The room was small and very basic, wouldn't call this a 4 star more like […] a 3 star hotel. Lees meer

After having stayed in a ~$150/night hotel in Causeway Bay, I switched to the YWCA Garden View. The room did not disappoint - it was larger, more comfortable, and with a better view than my other hotel. The only complaint would be that it's not near public transit, but it is only a short walk to the The Tram and a short (and cheap) cab ride to central. […] Definitely stay here if you have the chance. Lees meer

The Garden View (Mid-Levels) is a wonderful lodging for business and family travel. The location is merely base taxi fare away from Hong Kong (Terminus) Station at Central. It is about a 10-minute walking distance to Queen's Road where major banks are and to the U.S. Consulate General. It takes about 5 minutes walking to the Peak Tram Stations and St. […] Joseph's Catholic Church. There is a grocery store and a gas station just around the corner. The Hong Kong Botanical and Zoological Garden is located on the other side of Garden Rd with a pedestrian overpass and admission is free. This is my 3rd time staying there. I highly recommend this hotel. Lees meer

Hoel was okay. Could have beter amenities, including breakfast, internet facility open late at night, etc.

This was a lovely hotel at a fair price, the room was surprisingly big and very clean. The bed was comfortable and overall decoration was clean and modern. We got a taxi to the IFC shopping area for 20HKD and later went to Soho for about 25HKD. Didnt walk round the area as we only stayed the 1 night but it seemed nice and I would book this again - there […] is a gym and a small pool also. Lees meer

Nice clean tidy hotel, but located a little bit away from my preferred locatio of Wanchai. So saying, the taxis in Hk are cheap enough that this is not an issue. Hotel is located opposite nice little park (with Birds and animals) and is generally quiet. Views from 7th floor where over the park and towards the high rises of Central, but not of the harbour. […] Not unpleasant. Local Supermarket was also useful. Generally recommended, for one of the lower priced hotels. Lees meer

The hotel was great! The staff was friendly and helpful. I had to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night as something got lodged in my eye and they were extremely helpful in the process. A recommended improvement would be to have information about surrounding areas and suggestions for tourists. For example the closest 7-Eleven, coffee […] shop, etc. things that usually people don't research before they arrive at a location. Especially because I hear internet is very expensive at hotels in Hong Kong. A transportation recommendation/price guide may be helpful too as Taxi's, buses, and Trains are equally available. More info about the hotel would have been nice too, for example: if and where is the fitness center. What is the restaurant menu/hours/prices etc. Overall though the place was terrific. Lees meer

I was very impressed by the YWCA hotel, the hotel was very clean , the beds very comfortbale and the receptionist was very helpful. Accessing the hotel at the late hour of the night was very easy by taxi which took less than seven minutes from the train station. I would definately recommend this hotel and will use it again when I visit Hong Kong.

The room is clean and basic, good value for the price overall. The annoying thing is the price of internet (about $12 a day), though there is one computer downstairs you can use for free but only during certain hours.

After the first night the staff at the hotel were friendly, but not too knowledgable, everytime we asked for directions we were told to get a taxi! We walked to most places, walk down to central takes about 10-15 minutes easily managable, Mid level escalators take you back near the hotel. The rooms were lovely, bed was very comfortable, especially […] after 4 months travelling (staying in $15 rooms). Lovely shower, great bathroom. The in room delivery service is also great. All in all a good stay, although customer service could be improved! Lees meer

The hotel's exterior and interior were all far more impressive than I had expected. The location is convenient, just around a $30 taxi ride from Central station and it's other transport links. Walking distance if u fancy an uphill walk. And just around the corner is a free wildlife park, with primates and reptiles and botanical gardens. The service […] at reception was excellent and courteous, and the room was spacious, bright and airy. Every one of my boxes were ticked and this hotel had exceeded my expectations. That is until I attempted to fall asleep and lay on the beautifully presented bed. IT WAS ROCK HARD!! and by far, THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE BED I'd ever laid in. Eventually, I lay my duvet on the floor and managed to fall asleep then... thankfully I only stayed one night!!! great place, just severely let down by the un-useable beds!! Lees meer
