Concierge "The entire anti–chain hotel experience is deliberately minimalist, though at times the coveted coolness is a little overplayed—the restaurant staff in particular seem brusque and self-satisfied."
Fodor's "Even standard rooms in this haven of stylish luxury are suites—tranquil havens of design and indulgence that feature huge windowside bathtubs." Full review

Hotel owner Swire Group, which also owns hometown Cathay Pacific Airlines, is known for its efforts to maintain high standards, but the staff can occasionally turn up their noses if guests have too many special requests.
Gayot "With its understated, designer-Zen decor and urban residential mood, The Upper House makes for a discreet, relaxing home-away-from-home in Hong Kong."
BlackBook "What happens when you commandeer the upper levels of a JW Marriott and turn it into a boutique hotel?"

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."
