I'm a regular visitor to Hong Kong but this was my first stay at the Garden View. I had been reluctant to choose it before because of its location, but i was pleasantly surprised at how accessible it is from Central. The rooms are slightly larger than you would find in a similar hotel of this class, which makes it... More

A wonderfull hotel in Hong Kong. Fine atmosphere, swimmingpool, airconditioning (you'll need that!) and the city at a walking distance. The hotel is situated next to the peek-tram, a big tropical park and 'Soho', with all his cafe's and restaurants. All rooms have big windows for a nice view over the city. Try to get one on the upperfloors. There's... More

The Garden View, YWCA, on Mc Donnell Road is a very convenient place to stay whilst exploring HK, they give a discount if you stay longer than 7 consecutive days. transport links from hotel are good, either the mini bus or a taxi...or even better walk across to the botanical garden and meander on foot past the old Governor's Residence...

This mid-levels place is great if you want a place near the action but don't want to pay premium prices. When arriving at the hotel, please enquire about local transport and dining/shopping options. Rooms are comfortable and staff are helpful. More

We stayed for 3 nights on our way back from Australia. Very pleasant staff, room was fine (not very spacious but all you need). The walk down to Central through the Botanical Gardens/ Zoo each morning was amazing (and free)! Taxis back in the evening are so inexpensive (about 20HKD) so save your legs! Overall a very good experience for... More

At 1100 HKD without complimentary breakfast, it was a bit steep for the size and amenities offered. We stayed 4 nights. Room was very clean, the staff was prompt in their service. They offered 2 small bottles of drinking water on the first day. After that every bottle consumed was chargable at 10HKD. Our room was on the 15th floor... More

No complaints; some of the other reviews already cover tips as well as pros & cons for this hotel. Luckily for us, there was no cons when we stayed. The only "negative" is I wouldn't recommend using public transportation to this hotel if you're carrying a lot of luggage since it's up the hill from the public transport areas. On... More

We've stayed at the Garden View twice in the last 13 months or so, both times over the Christmas holiday. It offers basic but clean and attractive rooms with good views -- the best views are over the Botanical Gardens (hence, presumably Garden View...), but the rooms that face MacDonnell Road give a view of a pleasant Hong Kong side...

It was the last week of December and you can hardly find any decent hotel for under USD 200/night. I was lucky to come across a deal at this hotel for USD 100/night with breakfast included. Check-in was prompt. I got the room at 11AM which was a rare experience. The room is of a decent size. Facility wise there... More

The rooms are big and bright. Full-height/width windows and high location give you an amazing view over Hong Kong especially in the night. The opposite side of the location is that returning to the hotel from MTR is not a pleasant walk. You'd better take a taxi (~20-25 HKD) or 12A bus (something about 4 HKD) Internet is wired and...
