“Moderate value for less”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

The Holiday Inn Express in Causeway Bay represents the custom built concept also seen in hotels such as Greenwich, London or Hauptbahnhof (Messe), Frankfurt. First time guests may have difficulty finding the hotel as it remains unconscipicous until being at the door. An unaffiliated restaurant on street level attracts crowds of young people, forming waiting lines on the street side.

I have used the hotel for years, fairly regurlarly, despite the fact that no upper tier perks were available. As usual in some Expresses (not all) wifi is free and works. Now, at least in February 2012, the hotel has started offering late checkout for HI top tier guests.

The free breakfast is on a set basis. In most cases the order is forgotten though and after a wait someone will ask, what had been ordered - and will say sorry. This morning I counted at least 10 persons working in the breakfast lounge and it all appeared somewhat disorganized. The breakfast menu offers five choices, from western to local. This is ok tough, in comparison with having to line up for a meagre buffet (such as in many European and North American Holiday Inn Express hotels.)

A transit tip: The walkway in tunnels from the MTR train to the exit under the Mall is huge. I usually switch to tram in the Admiralty station to avoid the long uphill walk in the tunnels (longer than, say, the comparable tunnel walk at Green Park station in London, if going to the Holiday Inn on Piccadilly.) From the tram stop the walking distance is much less, though on the other side of the Mall.

Room Tip: From floors 20 up, if on the NOrthern side, there is a view of the harbour, in most rooms at least.

“Best budget hotel with greatest location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

this is the only international chain budget hotel from the Intercontinental group that is centrally located in the middle of Hong Kong. Yes, you need to drag your bags up, just like the way you drag your luggage at the airport, as long as your luggage has good set of wheels. There're also trolleys readily available if you ask the security man where it is. There's an access by using the handicap pathway in which I find that the hotel should cordially inform the guests instead of wondering around the hotel to locate it. Afterall, this is what basic hospitality is all about.

Good points and tips:
-receptionists are quite professional and not agitated by demanding guests asking about the whereabouts around the city. Perhaps a visible tour desk will help.
-room size is adequate and comfortable for two people. There's a foldable/sleeping sofa for the 3rd person.
-free high speed internet but am not sure if it has to do with my paying rate.
-good quality bed. Twin bed rooms are always closer to the lift while all other queen size beds are away from the lifts.
- clean sheets and good lines and basic toiletries
-very centrally located in HKG, Don't expect any views other than the views of the bustling wet market which I find amusing. This is Hong Kong.
-hand sanitisers in front of lifts.

things that needs the attention:
-a lot needs to be done for a better breakfast menu. Perhaps a hot instead of lukewarm coffee, fragrance porridge instead of watery porridge, a slightly better ham and sausages is also good.
-do not pursuade the guest to join the Loyalty Programs.
-proper eye contact and speak english slowly.

Overall impression:
Highly recommended it as it has a comfortable living setting. Basic courtersy is observed. Efficient housekeeping if you need more toiletries or water, good highspeed internet. This is m 3rd time time staying here as the location is better than any other 5 star hotels I can think of. because it is closer to the real sights and sounds of the real Hong Kong.

Surroundings:
There're a condom shops as well as condominium sales office, 7-11 to supermarkets, local coffee shops to Starbucks, side street sales to ultra luxury brands. Yes, you are in the middle of everything.

Enjoy Hong Kong:)

Room Tip: twin rooms are always located by the lifts.

“Great location but that's about it”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

we have stayed at this hotel a few times. The location is excellent, right behind Times Square and near the MTR. Rooms are small, but welcome to Hong Kong. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast that is included with the room charge is hardly worth the effort. Limited menu of cold food, weak coffee and awful service. We waited 30 minutes for coffee cups (there was coffee around, but no cups). The in-room wifi was also weak and virtually unusable. If a good location in Causeway Bay is what you need, then this place is fine. Just eat breakfast elsewhere and don't rely too much on the wifi.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Hotel location is very convenient- across the street is Times Square, an enormous mall with many stores and restaurants as well as a subway stop. Rooms are very functional and a decent size, but be aware that closet is tiny and storage space inadequate. Technology works very well, and the hotel personnel are very helpful and courteous. Agree with all negative comments on breakfast. We ate at the second floor chinese restaurant one night, and it was excellent.

“Nice location”

I went to HK for one day business trip. The location is perfect for using MTR. The nearest station is linked under time square building.

This hotel also provides a free wifi with a good service at reception. However, one thing that needs to be improved is the breakfast. We expect more good food.
