Exceeded all expectations! Absolutely amazing! I had no idea what this hotel was, but I wanted to stay in Sheung Wan this time. I saw it was part of the Accor group and the price was excellent, so I booked it! As soon as I arrived, I was impressed. The hotel lobby is on the 5th floor, accessible by multiple elevators. Just make sure to check which floors each elevator serves before choosing. Since I arrived quite a bit before check-in, and my booking requested a high-floor, non-smoking, city-view room away from the elevators, the front desk gentleman, Mr. Wong Tze Ho (I think that was his name, I didn't get a clear look, but he had a haircut like the 7-Up mascot!), very kindly asked if I'd mind a room with red-tinted windows if it meant I could check in immediately and still meet my other requests. I was 100% fine with it, knowing I could just close the curtains if it bothered me. When I entered the room, I was stunned! The front desk had upgraded me to a sea view room – a super, unobstructed sea view, not just a sliver between buildings! This kind of sea view would cost millions! Have you ever seen a red-tinted, filtered sea view? If black and white is okay, why not red! The bathroom was also very spacious, and the bed was a good size. The hotel has a restaurant on the 5th floor, and downstairs there's a Starbucks and an illy. Turn left and go upstairs, and you'll find a cooked food market. A 24-hour 7-Eleven and Liu An Ju are just two minutes away. Right outside the hotel to the left is an eastbound tram stop, making it convenient for taking the Star Ferry and exploring K11 or IFC. If you turn right from the hotel, you'll find Quan Kee, Mak's Noodle (Wonton Noodle), Hang Heung Cake Shop, Thai restaurants, Mui Fung dried plums, Chan Yee Jai, and Wellington Street – basically, just explore Sheung Wan at your leisure, you'll never go hungry! However, definitely avoid that Yakiniku restaurant, it's terrible. A taxi to Central is just the base fare. There's even a small public park behind the hotel! All this hotel has to offer, and it only costs a few hundred dollars! What more could you ask for?! And the hotel was so incredibly clean!!!! A taxi to West Kowloon is less than 130 HKD. Taxis in Hong Kong now accept Alipay, with automatic currency conversion – just remember to ask the driver for a receipt. When you visit Hong Kong, please, please stay at the Ibis Sheung Wan! Highly recommend 💜
