Hong Kong's most cost-effective sea view rooms, ibis Hong Kong Central and Sheung Wan Hotel.
When I went to Hong Kong, I probably encountered an exhibition. The price of Hong Kong hotels has skyrocketed to an unimaginable height. Fortunately, I still have a Accor Plus card in hand, which can be used to exchange for a mid-range Yibisi hotel in Central at a 50% discount. I bought it for 803 yuan per night, which is relatively affordable compared to the calendar room of 1500+ per night. The day I left, the harbor view double room I stayed in continued to soar to 2000+ per night, so it's really wise to stock up on coupons and book early during hotel promotions in Hong Kong, otherwise the daily price really has no cost-effectiveness.
The hotel has a great location, between the Sheung Wan and Sai Ying Pun MTR stations. The famous seafood street is nearby where you can buy abalone, sea cucumber, and bird's nest. It's convenient to go to the University of Hong Kong and explore Kennedy Town. There are plenty of delicious restaurants within walking distance. You can even walk to the Asia T50 bar at night. I haven't taken a taxi since I moved in, the location is unbeatable.
The room is the smallest I have ever lived in my life, only 17 square meters, but I have to admire the designer. I didn't feel depressed when I walked into the room. The space utilization rate is particularly good. Everything that should be there is there. The bathroom is also partitioned, and it's really OK for one person to live in. It's much better than I imagined.
The hotel has a total of 32 floors, and the young lady arranged me on the 29th floor. The high-altitude sea view is still very beautiful, and it is also very beautiful after the lights are on at night. The room temperature is suitable, the bedding is also very comfortable, and the sound insulation is also very good. The only drawback is that the shower space is relatively small, and it is difficult to turn around. It is not a problem for me who has a small figure, but a fat person may not be able to move in for a shower.
The next day, taking the subway to West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station only took a little over an hour, much faster than I had imagined. If I had known earlier, I would have had some dim sum at Lin Heung Tea House next door before leaving. I thought the customs clearance would be slow, but it turned out that I ended up eating a burger on the way.
In short, if you are also traveling alone to Hong Kong, I recommend staying at this hotel. You can stay in a sea view room for less than 1000, which is very cost-effective. However, I do not recommend it for two people as the 17 square meter room is a bit small.
