Scene
A warm and contemporary budget chain hotel that caters to couples and families
The ibis Hong Kong Central & Sheung Wan Hotel is in a looming high-rise that begins on the fifth floor of its building, and guests should note that this might require them to change elevators to reach their room. The decor is warm and contemporary, with gleaming floors, sleek furnishings, and a warm beige, red, and orange color
scheme throughout the property. The bright and cheery breakfast room has yellow chairs around white marble-topped tables and hanging
red lights, while the orange, back-lit bar has chrome stools and comfortable red and brown leather armchairs for
more relaxed lounging. Most guests are couples and families looking for a
budget-friendly option while visiting Hong Kong Island.
Location
Near the Victoria Harbor and within walking distance of public transportation
The hotel is located on Hong Kong Island near the Victoria
Harbor in Sheung Wan, a neighborhood full of businesses and traditional Chinese
shops. The Macau Ferry is a five-minute walk away and directly next to the
historic Western Market, which sells Chinese wares. The Dried Seafood Street is approximately a 10-minute walk away, while the historical Man Mo Temple is about a 12-minute walk. Lots of dining options are available on surrounding streets and can be reached within
five minutes. For those looking to explore other parts of the city, the Queen
Street tram stop is about a minute’s walk from the hotel, or guests can reach
the Sai Ying Pun MTR (metro) station in about 10 minutes. Hong Kong International Airport is about 30 minutes away by car.
Rooms
Simple, contemporary rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the harbor or city
The simple, contemporary rooms at the ibis Hong Kong Central
& Sheung Wan Hotel are designed with comfort in
mind -- although some guests complain that the beds are overly firm. The chain hotel's signature orange color can be found on curtains and accent walls that brighten up the mostly neutral-hued spaces. Furnishings are mainly simple blond wood with clean, modern lines reminiscent of an IKEA aesthetic. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, safes, mini-fridges, and coffee/tea makers, plus free bottled water
is a nice touch. But the best feature here are the floor-to-ceiling
windows that offer gorgeous views of Victoria Harbor or the city, especially in upper-floor rooms. Bathrooms are small and include showers, hairdryers, and a few toiletries, though significantly less than most
hotels provide.
Features
On-site bar, American breakfast buffet, meeting spaces, and a Starbucks on the ground floor of the building
The hotel’s best feature is its attractive bar that serves drinks
and light snacks. The breakfast room is notable in that it serves an
American-style buffet breakfast (for a fee) with some local dishes, though guests have made
complaints about the quality of the food. There's also a Starbucks
located on the ground floor of the building. For the business traveler, there
are a few meeting spaces on-site as well as a business center. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, though some contend that the service is slow. A free
airport express shuttle bus can be used to get to and from the airport.
