Ibis Hong Kong Central & Sheung Wan

Ibis Central Sheung Wan is a good hotel for the price. It’s very much a ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of place.
The décor is simple but clean. Check-​in was located on the 5^th floor, but was fast and from there we took the elevator to our floor. Not wanting to spend too much on our little weekend getaway, we opted for the city view, which, due to Hong Kong’s many skyscrapers wasn’t much of a view, unfortunately. But then again, I reminded myself that we get what we pay for. They give you the option of either a smokers or a non smoking room and you can choose either double or twin beds. Extra beds cost more. Overall a good hotel for families too.
The room itself is very basic. Double bed and tv, a small desk by the window and a bathroom with shampoo/​bodywash combo locked to the wall. For some reason only one toothbrush and one pair of slippers was supplied, but we called reception and they quickly gave us one more set plus a comb. I am quite positive they would’ve provided other amenities too when asked.
Breakfast is 138 per person (!!!), but for the people who, like me, just need a coffee and maybe a croissant, you can get this for around 50 – 60 HKD at the downstairs Starbucks. There’s also plenty of local food places around the corner. One morning we ate at a local place and managed to order a morning set of beef noodles, egg and sausage with traditional HK style coffee for 27 HKD. So yeah, no need to ball out on Ibis breakfast buffet.
The elevators in the building are a bit of a hassle. There are 5 or 6 elevators, but one three of them go all the way to the ground floor. The rest only to reception on the 5^th floor. Some mornings we were standing in a crowded elevator where everyone had to get out on 5^th to wait for an elevator for ground floor. Maybe it’s security reasons, but it creates a lot of confusion, clutter in the reception area and general annoyance.
Overall I am a happy customer though. We booked through a booking site and got a package deal of return flight from Beijing to HK and three nights at Ibis for 5200 RMB (roughly 6500 HKD). The staff members helped us store our luggage on the last day and are in general very helpful. All in all would come back.

Nothing too terrible but just a weird and annoying place to stay. The lifts are the most odd I’ve ever seen with reception being on the 5^th floor, you then had to jump out and get on another to go to your room. Then the same on the way down. Location is alright. Service was pretty average and didn’t really give a warm vibe about the place for us unfortunately. Ok wifi. Ok staff. Just an ok experience.

Having a quick stop over in HKG? A business trip or just looking for a mid range hotel! This no frills Ibis hotel was actually pretty decent! Clean friendly and in an excellent location.
ibis Sheung Wan has Everything you need in a hotel! A powerful shower, great wifi, a decent size safety deposit box and perfect air con for those hot days! The room even have views of the bay!
So that was the must haves! Everything else in my opinion (for city breaks) for a hotel if added extra! If you a looking to stay in at night there is a bar area — we didn’t really use this facility but it’s there and serves food!
Downstairs was always manned even through into the night! During the day there is also a Starbucks for your chain coffee!
Great hotel great location = perfect for seeing the city!

Nothing flashy but a great hotel for the money you pay. This hotel may not be a five star with loads of flashy frills, but it is a great hotel for a short city break as it has everything you need. (Well what I think anyway)
Super strong wi fi, comfy bed, the most powerful shower I can remember in a long time, great central location, friendly helpful staff, a safe in your room and a really powerful air con system. What’s not to like.
I would have no issues recommending this as a place to stay in HK if your staying for a few nights and want a good base for seeing the city.

Very nice, safe and conveniently located hotel. Clean rooms, modern design. Friendly staff. Cool, air conditioned rooms. Our shower drain was not at level so water would not drain properly, otherwise this hotel would receive a 5 star review. 10 min walk to ferry station to Macau, etc. Free hotel shuttle from hong kong station. Starbucks on ground floor was a plus. Free, strong WiFi in hotel.

My go to hotel in Hong Kong. Affordable, clean, modern rooms, stunning Victoria Harbor views, excellent service and most importantly for me — fast, reliable wifi and a wired cable internet connection so that I can make skype calls to the US. Also the strong air conditioning is a relief from those muggy Hong Kong days. Don’t underestimate that because I’ve been to other hotels where I was sweating like a pig every night due to weak air conditioning in 100 degree F plus temps.
