Express by Holiday Inn, Wan Chai

Conveniently located next to Times Square and the MTR. The rooms are quite nice and comfortable with daily replacements of tootbrush and toothpaste. Everything looks and feel new. Very clean and well kept. But the choices for breakfast needs improvement. Was expecting some international stlye buffet breakfast but instead got a menu with 3-4 set choices only.

Every thing is nice, though the rooms are quite small as most Hong Hotel rooms are. The set breakfast needs to be looked in to. Atleast they can change the set menu every alternate day.

We were there for a week and this place rocks. It's new, right across the street from time square in causeway bay right in the middle of Hong Kong Island. I've read other reviews that said the rooms were small but which scared me at first til we got our room and it was very nice. Loved the highspeed connection in our room. We were there for a week and never set foot in a taxi. Do yourself a favor and get a MTR card and take the train. they have stops everywhere and the people are very nice. This place is by far the best place if your looking for an awesome location and a clean room at a great price.

I stayed for 2 nights during my pleasure trip to Hong Kong in Jun 2006. Regretted not for the whole 6 night trip. Friendly and cosy atmosphere at the reception (remember to look for the lift which was hide away at the back of the elevator). Nice inexpensive limited service hotel includes continental breakfast that offers 3 choices, very convenient location, same street as Times Square - a highend shopping mall but was also close to small shops, inexpensive restaurants and busy street. Pizza Hut and other restaurants downstairs. New modern bathroom/shower design. Self service iron room except no weight or coin laundry, piece-charged laundry available. Separate weighted laundry available on nearby Hysan Road, Causeway Bay. Reasonably spacious for North Americans. Busy street view. Excellent limted service hotel, highly recommended. Will return on my next visit to Hong Kong.

First, the location in Causeway Bay just behind Times Square is really convenient for both the business traveller and tourist. Public transportation in the form of minibuses, big buses, MTR and taxi are just outside the door. A simple breakfast is included in the room rate. You also have free broadband, helpful for work or for finding your way around town. Staff was very polite and efficient, but the hotel is no frills. Rooms are small, but adequate, more along the lines of a Japanese business hotel than the luxury standards found in some Hong Kong hotels - the price is very different to reflect that difference in standard. I had asked my travel agent for 2 double beds - my three children and I stayed there for a week. The beds were only single size, but the sofa folds out to a double bed, so the arrangements were fine, not much floor space left, though. The CTS at the 1st floor makes it easy and convenient to arrange China visas and travel.

Positives: 1. Great Location 2. It's only a few months old, everything is very clean. 3. Free Safe in room. Free high speed internet and has 4 public PCs on the first floor. Free Breakfast. 4. Good services at the front desk. 5. Work desk in the room. 6. Great shower - Easy to adjust and very good water presure. Negatives: 1. Small room. No drawer for storage. 2. Charge HK $5 for each local call. (But my company's corprate rate includes free local calls.) 3. Free breakfast offers not much of selection and is not good. 4. No gym. No swimming pool. Tips for Budget Travellers: 1. Buy a calling card at Seven Eleven that can be used for long distance as well as locals. There's one just a block from the hotel. (Turn right from hotel enterance. Walk to the end of the block. You can see the 7/11 Store across the street. 2. I was told it costed between HK $350 to $400 by taxi from Airport to hotel. You can take Airport Express Train to the Hong Kong Station. It's HK $100 each one way. HK $160 for 2 people. You then switch over to MTR (Subway). (You can purchase the Octopus Card (Smart Cash Card) at the Central MTR Station.) Get off at the Causeway Bay Station, Exit A). Go up the elevator to Level B2 of Time Squares. Keep turn right. Go up the elevator to the ground level of Times Square. The hotel is across the street from the back of Times Sqare. 3. Laundry - It's much cheaper to take it to a lundary cleaners located at Tanlung Street (2 blocks from hotel). I used the one called "British" a couple of times for (Washing & Drying only. You can iron you only clothings at the hotel.) If you drop off in the morning, you can pick it up in the afternoon. On you return trip, you can check in at the Airport Express Hong Kong Station (most airlines have counters there) before boarding the train. 4. The "Wellcome Supermarket" is located 3 blocks away. Ask front desk for directions. 5. You can go to Stanley Market, Murray House (close to Stanley Market) or Repulse Bay on you own by taking the Mini Bus Route #40 (with Green Colour Tops) 4 blocks from the hotel. Ask front desk for directions. It only costs HK $9 one way. The mini buses are mainly for the locals. (I was born & raised in HK). If you not sure where to get off, ask other passengers because the bus driver may not speak English.
