Best Value for Budget Vacationer
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/5/06
Caritas Lodge is a great place to stay. But keep in mind this is a Christian sponsored "lodge" and not a hotel, so you cannot expect any luxury amenities like disco or bar. Though located in the heart of the busy Yaumati District, yet it's secluded and has less pedestrians hanging around the neighborhood. We've got a nice, clean double room facing the mountain so it was nice and quiet for a good night sleep. The restaurant has good food for VERY reasonable price. It has easy access to the subway system, and it's also within walking distance to the night markets. The staff was well trained, very professional and courteous. Most of all, the security was great and you never have to worry about having uninvited phone calls from strange women in the middle of the night. (Trust me, there's plenty of those around in HK, especially on any hotel rated less less than 3 stars.) A big plus is the Airport Shuttle stops right in front of the lodge at the cost less than taking a cab. The room rate is probably the best comparing to the other 2-3 Star hotels around. I would say it's the best value you can get for your money. Highly recommended!
