Hong Kong has a wide variety of accommodation to suit every budget, from luxury six-star equivalent hotels to modest guesthouses - some accredited to the Quality Tourism Services Scheme and youth hostels. Most hotels and guesthouses are situated on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon, but you can also find a good selection in the New Territories (including the outlying islands). Most of the more expensive accommodation has views over Victoria Harbour.
You can stay among the big city lights, in the verdant countryside or near the beach - the choice is yours. No matter where you stay, all of Hong Kong's attractions are close at hand. The excellent public transport system means you are only a short journey away from the hustle and bustle of the city or the tranquillity of the outlying islands.

Many of Hong Kong's luxury hotels are ranked among the best in the world. Most of the major international chains are represented along with a large selection of local and regional hotels.
The hotels listed offer modern design and facilities, as well as full air-conditioning. Most provide 24-hour room service. There are telephones and power points in all bedrooms, and every bathroom has a universal-type power outlet for electric shavers. You can specify other needs like Internet access when doing a search.

Visitors arriving at the airport without a hotel reservation can receive assistance at the Hotel Reservation Centres inside the Buffer Hall located after the Customs Area. The desk is open daily from 6am to midnight. The Centres can arrange accommodation, at no extra charge, at any hotel that is a member of the Hong Kong Hotels Association (HKHA).

While the YMCA and YWCA hostels in Hong Kong are more akin to 3-4 star hotels with similar rates, young travellers on minimal budgets have the choice of seven hostels run by the Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association. Most of these hostels are located in the New Territories (including the outlying islands) and are fairly remote. However, most are in scenic areas (one is atop a mountain) and close to outdoor attractions like hiking trails and a marine park. Getting back and forth to town is not a problem. You can book online which saves you time and guarantees you have accommodation waiting for you when you arrive in Hong Kong.
Whatever your budget, Hong Kong has accommodation to fit your needs. But to be on the safe side, be sure to book and confirm your accommodation before you leave home!
