Hong Bo is a reasonable 3-star hotel. I stayed in the standard double room on 3/F which is reasonably clean and tidy. Hot shower is available but no bath tub for the standard room (RMB 300, about US$40). If you need a bath, choose the deluxe room (RMB 400, about US$55) on higher floors. The ambience is quite good with trees and garden but avoid Room No. 305 which is facing a dark backdoor. No recreational facilities except a foot massage centre. A large garden (Eco Square) is just located beside the hotel and walk uphill you can have a nice countryside hiking.
The hotel is situated in a major entertainment development - Hua Qiao Cheng. Within 10 minutes walk, you can reach many theme parks: Happy Kingdom, Windows of the World, Splendid China and Folk Culture Village. The Food-Street is also located within 10 minutes walk, just follow the mono-rail line and walk backward.
It is located within 5 minutes walk from the Hua Qiao Cheng Metro Station (subway) exit B. If you take the Metro from Lo Wu Station (major border-crossing from Hong Kong), it takes about 40 minutes. A faster route is to take taxi from Huang Gang border-crossing, it takes about RMB 40 and only 15 minutes. This hotel is recommended for budget travellers.
