Ibis Hong Kong Central & Sheung Wan

The showers the view the hospitality.

Excellent value for money … perfectly functional and comfortable. Followed our instructions and arranged twin bed with harbour view Taxi to central and Kowloon station is only HKD100 or so even middle of the night

The location is perfect. The view is marvellous, if you spend the money to book a harbour view room!

The breakfast is a little ’love less’. The breakfast room very functional

The main advantage of this hotel is definitely the location. It is very convenient for exploring Hong Kong, with public transport, trams and the MTR within easy reach. The harbour view from the higher floors can also be beautiful, and considering how expensive Hong Kong accommodation can be, the price can be one of the few reasons to choose this hotel. However, I would say that if you are looking for a comfortable and modern hotel, you should seriously manage your expectations. The property is quite old and, in my opinion, is long overdue for a proper renovation. Some rooms may look acceptable in photos, but in reality the furniture, bathroom and general condition of the rooms feel tired and dated.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few things that made our stay disappointing. The biggest problem was the very strong sewage smell coming from the bathroom. The smell was really unpleasant and was noticeable throughout the stay. For a hotel of this standard, this is simply not acceptable. There are also signs of ageing throughout the property, and the rooms and bathrooms clearly need renovation and better maintenance. Also, despite the beautiful harbour view, I would strongly recommend avoiding the 32nd floor. The view may be impressive, but there are technical machines/equipment on the roof above this floor, and they make a considerable amount of noise. For us, this was especially noticeable and made it difficult to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep. So, if you decide to stay here, I would recommend requesting a high-floor harbour-view room, but NOT on the 32nd floor and away from the elevators. If you are lucky with the room, the view can be a real highlight. Overall, I think the hotel is mainly suitable for travellers who prioritise location and price over comfort and modern facilities. Hong Kong is an expensive city, so if you find a very good rate, this hotel can make sense as a budget option. But don’t expect a modern or freshly renovated property.
