“your best bet for civilized budget accommodation in HK”

Bishop Lei International House

4 of 5 stars
Singapore, Singapore
Jul 25, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

I'm in HK 6-7 times a year on business, and always stay at the BL (and have done for more than 4 years now, as have most of my work colleagues). The hotel is renovating their rooms which prompted this review.

The rooms are small, Tokyo-sized, but clean and fairly well-maintained. The staff are professional and polite. The location is in the mid-levels, a residential neighbourhood, but only a 5 minute cab ride (or free shuttle) from the business area, or a 15 minute walk up or down the mid-levels escalator (a string of connected escalators that take you from office-land to sort-of-suburbia). The room rate is a fraction of the big-name hotels in town - not quite hostel-cheap, but very affordable. The internet is free and fast, and the beds are comfortable with good duvets. There's a kettle and cups in the room (a must-have as far as I'm concerned).

If you get a harbour-view room (you'll have to pay a bit more, BL's not that generous on upgrades 'cos they're usually full) the view over Central towards Kowloon is stunning. The renovated rooms, apart from having a fresh makeover, have bigger showerheads, shaving mirrors, small flat-screen TVs, and bigger beds (not much of an advantage as the rooms are no bigger, obviously, so there's less space for your luggage!)

What do you give up for the price? Breakfast is average and you're better off grabbing something on the go outside the hotel. The pool is a dipping pond, no point actually trying to swim, and the gym is token. There are no bathrooms, only shower rooms. And you occasionally find the modest-sized lobby crammed full of mainland Chinese tour groups.

But given that, in HK, you're likely to be out and about 18 hours a day, and all you really need is a smile, a room, and a bed, BL scores very highly for value for money.

“Very Nice Stay”

Bishop Lei International House

4 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
Jul 6, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

We spent 1 night at the Bishop Lei. We booked the last room available and happily upgraded on check-in to a harbour view suite on the 10th floor. The room was very small (double bed and small bedside cabinets) with another room with a couch, desk, fridge and tv, kettle and it had a small shower bathroom. Very comfortable, clean with good aircon and attentive staff who came to see if we were ok and needed a turndown service. The view was great - mainly buildings and you could just make out the water. But no complaints as we had expected a room with no desk with no view! It was very quiet (Friday night).
We did not eat breakfast and the hotel restaurant was closed in the afternoon for a childs birthday party. The staff were friendly and we left our luggage after checking out. We also did not get a chance to use the pool.
We caught the free hotel shuttle bus from Hong Kong station after catching the Airport Express train and took it back again to catch the star ferry to Kowloon.
The hotel is well located for the Synagogue (discounted rate if you book through them).
We walked to Soho for dinner and ate a great meal on Elgin Street at Chongqing and went to a supermarket at the top of the escalator to stock up on water and supplies.
We moved from here to the Salisbury YMCA on Kowloon. Really recommend this for great views and location if you don't need to be on HK island/mid levels.

“just so-so”

Bishop Lei International House

May 10, 2008

I was looking for an affordable base of operations in central/western Hong Kong island. Hotel was fine. I stayed in a single room, paid $100/night. Room was small but adequate, bathroom was a decent size. Clean room but bathroom had mold in tile grout and shower flooring was loose. Hot water in shower lasted about five minutes, then would cycle cold for 1 minute then back to hot. Annoying when you are in a hurry in the am. Also, conceierge gave incorrect info re which city bus to take to my destination. Likewise, front desk staff gave me wrong weekend bus schedule (only week day schedule is printed) and I missed bus to train station and had to take a cab. Breakfast was passable but not great. Small gym was nice and staff was friendly in general. Location is quiet, residential and appeared safe. Not a bad experience but I think I can do better for US $20 or $30 more a night.

“very decent hotel”

This hotel is located in a relatively quiet residential area. Easy access to buses and the mid-level escalator. Service was very good. While there are no good restaurants nearby, the hotel has a small and convenient one. We had the Harbor View Suite on the 16th floor. Photos are attached. While not spacious, the room was more than adequate. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

“Great location and comfortable room”

Bishop Lei International House

4 of 5 stars
Melbourne, Australia
Feb 15, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Bishop Lei is a very clean and comfortable hotel in a great location for accessing all main areas of interest on HK island. Don't expect anything overly flash - the rooms are simple and on the smaller side, but we were very comfortable and had no complaints with the rooms or service whatsoever. Breakfast in the restaurant is very good with a relaxed atmosphere (wasn't included in our package though). Lan Kwai Fong, which is the main bar/restaurant/nightlife area is no more than 10 mins by foot and escalator. Rooms are not particularly cheap, but for what we got and the location, I would not hesitate to stay there again.
