Concierge "We'll come right out and say it: The Peninsula is one of the finest hotels in the world, and has been since 1928."
Fodor's "Even in a city with so many world-class hotels, the Peninsula manages to stand apart from the rest, an oasis of old-world glamour."
Insight Guides "This, the grand old dame of Hong Kong’s hospitality business, has been a byword for impeccable service and colonial-style grandeur since 1928."
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"The vibe is very upscale... the location in the touristy Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood, near designer shopping and Victoria Harbour, is very convenient." Full review
Rough Guide "Possibly the grandest hotel in Hong Kong, the Peninsula has been putting visitors up in unrivalled style since the late 1920s."
Michelin Guide "The iconic lobby remains the place for afternoon tea: the spa boasts a Roman-style pool and a host of dining choices range from the modern to the traditional."
DK Eyewitness "The Peninsula blends marble-clad opulence and old world colonial charm while its modern rooms offer unrivalled harbour views."
Star Service "The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of the world's best hotels." Full review

Those doing business on the Hong Kong side or who prefer to avoid the onslaught of Kowloon shoppers may prefer the equally excellent but less grand Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental on Hong Kong Island.
BlackBook "Like a throne commanding the harbor of Hong Kong, this hotel occupies a unique place in the world. Its august rooms sit atop the best real estate in a charmed city."

Fodor's "Little wonder this upscale YMCA is a popular budget choice: it sits next to the mighty Peninsula and across from the city's three biggest museums on Tsim Sha Tsui's harborfront."
Insight Guides "Its room rates do not follow those found in your typical YMCA, but the Hong Kong Y is nonetheless one of the best bargains in the city."
Rough Guide "The best-located semi-cheap hotel in town. Facilities include indoor pools, fitness centre and squash court."
DK Eyewitness "You may not find better value anywhere else in Hong Kong. The harborside setting is spectacular, many rooms boast fine views and all are reasonably spacious."
Lonely Planet "If you can manage to book a room at this fabulously located hostel/hotel, you’ll be rewarded with professional service and excellent exercise facilities."
