The Charterhouse is an enlivening hotel that sits in-between the Hong Kong Island districts of Wan Chai and Causeway Bay.

What it lacks in style and kudos, the YMCA-run Salisbury more than makes up for with excellent rates and amenities, a great location near an MTR station and the Star Ferry at the southern end of bustling Kowloon, and, for those fortunate enough to get them, some rooms with brilli… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The hostel formerly known as Wang Fat is a good place to meet other backpackers, with 110 rooms scattered through several floors of a large apartment building.

A great upper-to-midrange addition to your options in Central, Hotel LKF is right in the thick of the Lan Kwai Fong action (but far enough above it not to be disturbed by it), has spacious rooms in muted earth tones containing all the trimmings: fluffy dressing gowns, espresso ma… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This landmark (and very central hotel) is good value for its category and location. It has some fine food outlets and the Miramar Shopping Centre is just across Kimberley Rd. Avoid the rather tired looking non-executive rooms which lack style and broadband access. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The C… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Peering out from one of the guestrooms of this colossal tower hotel, you'd never suspect for a moment that you were in Mong Kok.
