email: exhkg-info@mohg.comThis is a step-up from the other hotels in this journal. The room rate is a reflection of this. A standard room will cost around HK2,600 while a Harbour-side room starts at HK3000. The other indication that this place is something special is the fact that it is owned and managed by the highly respected Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.The Excelsior Hotel is one of Hong Kong island’s most well-known hotels for travellers looking to explore the energetic entertainment and shopping areas of Causeway Bay. The hotel has a prime location overlooking Victoria Harbour and the upper floors of the 34 building, in particular, have great views.There is a ...Read More

This is a top class hotel overlooking Victoria Park and the famous Hong Kong harbour. The Park Lane offers a deluxe address and superior service in the centre of Causeway Bay.Comfort is the hallmark of a top-class hotel. The rooms at the Park Lane have an understated elegance providing a home away from home and an opportunity to completely relax. Some of the decor is not to my taste (the design and colour of the wall behind the bed is dubious)but the room size is good and if you get a park view room the vista is grand. Standard rooms are HK$2500 while Park View rooms are HK$3200.All guest rooms are equipped with broadband internet access, large electronic safe, 32 TV channels...Read More

This is a nice hotel overlooking Queen’s College and the Causeway Bay Sports Ground. The location is OK but let’s be honest it is not Causeway Bay. The problem is no-one has heard of Tin Hau which is the name of the nearby mass transit railway station. The hotel looks out over a green area of sports fields, a rare commodity in Hong Kong. This means that the views from many rooms are extensive rather than into the side of adjacent buildings. The rooms themselves are a decent size and are well equipped. The decor is modern and attractive. Standard rooms are HK$1900 while the so-called Harbour View rooms are HK$2300. There are a few single rooms, which I didn’t see, for HK$900.The...Read More

Hotel | "Rosedale"

Rosedale is quite a step-up from the So Hotel. The hotel is more lavish, larger and the rooms have more space. The other difference is the location. The Rosedale is in Causeway Bay which is a well-known mid-market shopping centre. Of course, the room rate is also higher. Superior rooms (standard) are around HK$1600 while deluxe are HK$ 1900 and executive are HK$2100.It is about an 7-8minute walk to the subway station and the Sogo Department store area. The normal route involves several overhead bridges but for people with strollers or bags the concierge can direct which way to walk to avoid climbing up and down the bridges. There is a tram station located right outside of the hotel which w...Read More

It may be stretching it a little to put this hotel into the mid-market category because it is currently available for a budget price. I include it here because it has most of the features of a lower mid-market hotel (except space) and it is well-run, very clean and extremely friendly. This is a modern slightly funky hotel which only opened towards the end of 2008. It has been created within an old office building. It has 37 rooms on about 10 floors ranging from 160 sq. ft. to 350 sq. ft. Rooms are categorized into Standard (Single Room) and Superior (Double/Twin Rooms). The room we had was extremely small but we got used to it and were amazed what space you can actually live in. The Junior...Read More
