Great price.
Easy access, metres from the MTR. Rooms are cosy and the carpets a little tired. The Ibis North Point is a real surprise! Access is great. Only meters from the MTR for easy access from the airport express. Yet walk outside and you experience the real Hong Kong. Excellent bakeries and proper Chinese food at local prices. A stones throw away from the North Point tram terminal for a great scenic ride into Central at $2.20.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Use thr tram and enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace.

nearby to the MTR station and many local eateries. get a harbor view is cheap in Hong Kong. as i did not spend much time in the room, it's just a place for me to sleep and shower. the superior room is really small and do not expect much for the budget inn. the carpet is dirty and no slipper provided. the only toiletry is soap. lady who wants shower gel, shampoo, body lotion and etc needs to prepare herself. the harbor view is not bad but room is small. only can fit in 1 suitcase. but the transportation here is very convenient. nearby to MTR station and ding ding tram station.easy to get taxi. can take a bus from airport and reach here directly. price from HKD40-45, take about 45mins at off peak hour. very convenient. nearby a local market which you can see the local living style.海皇粥舖 is a good place for breakfast. should try the 許榴山mango desserts.

there are some small boutiques at North Point are quite good for shopping as the price is slightly lower than central & causeway bay.

the MTR station is just next to the hotel. housekeeping service is efficient. the carpet is dirty and not toiletry provided. the harbor view is not bad but room is small. only can fit in 1 suitcase. but the transportation here is very convenient. nearby to MTR station and ding ding tram station.easy to get taxi. can take a bus from airport and reach here directly. price from HKD40-45, take about 45mins at off peak hour. very convenient. nearby a local market which you can see the local living style.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : 海皇粥舖 is a good place for breakfast. should try the 許榴山mango desserts.永華 at WanCha & 何洪記 nearby TimeSquare,沾仔記 at central have very good the wanton noodle shop.何洪記 & 沾仔記 taste simlar but 沾仔記 is cheaper.the 庸記roasted goose is really good but a bit oily. other dishes also very good. the 澳洲牛奶公司at Jordon is a typical Hong Kong style of restaurant. very crowed and the service is impressive. food was served within 2mins. the food was delicious and cheap. must try the egg sandwich.strongly recommend 澳洲牛奶公司 if you want to try local dish/culture. the afternoon tea at Peninsular Hotel is HKD400 for 2 person. the ambient is very classy, but was a bit disappointed on the food.

Very good location, MTR exit is right beside the hotel. Very small room, looks old and you can see stains everywhere on the carpet. Rooms are relatively small and looks pretty old. You can see stains everywhere on the carpet. But very good location and transportation. MTR and bus station are right beside you. The services is fine and the sea view is pretty nice too at the evenings. In general, the hotel condition is OK compared to the price.

It was easy to reach from the airport, by bus. At $40 Hong Kong each, each way, it was cheap and easy.
The situation was good. Right next door to the MTR station and a 2 minute walk to the tram.
It was relatively inexpensive.
If our room,1610,is a gauge of the standard of the hotel, then it was VERY poor. The carpet was badly marked and appeared dirty and much of the paintwork around the room, was pealing off and was in bad need of repair. There were many areas of the room that needed a good clean. It had grubby marks around all of the edges, especially the bathroom.
The staff member on duty when we arrived and when we left, was difficult to understand and was not particularly helpful.
Breakfast was poor, much of the food was not hot and the quality was poor.
The television was tiny AND did not work.
There was no information pack in the room.
We were disappointed with the hotel. We have stayed in Ibis hotels before and this one, came nowhere near the standard we expected. If it has been refurbished recently, then our room was missed! It was well situated for all public transport but we would not recommend it to any of our friends. The pictures of the facilities online, were in our opinion, misleading and showed the hotel to be better than it actually was.. We would not return to it.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Peak tram ride was brilliant.

Very near train station. Great view of harbour from my room. There is an inexpensive restaurant in the hotel. The price of the room was cheap, yet it wasn't a cheap looking hotel and room. Near chinese food restaurants. As others said the room is small, but I have seen smaller rooms. There was a water mark stain on the wall. But overall the room was clean. Very near train station. Great view of harbour from my room. There is an inexpensive restaurant in the hotel. The price of the room was cheap, yet it wasn't a cheap looking hotel and room. Near chinese food restaurants. Overall I enjoyed my stay at the hotel.
Hotel Feature Tip : Request a non smoking room, as these are on higher floors and you should get a room with a good view.

Location was not convenient, no bottled water included The staff was friendly, however the location required longer travel on the MTR. The taxi drivers had difficulty finding the hotel even though I gave them the hotel card that had the address in English as well as Chinese as well as a small map. There was no complementry water which is usually provided when in Hong Kong. There was also no secondary door lock which would be nice for security.
Travel tip : Make sure you get better directions for taxi from hotel for return to hotel

Price is acceptable. Good seaview. No toothbrush, small TV set, room is small. Lamp switches are far away from bed. IBIS offers a quit good custumer service. And it'sclosed to MTR station is an advantage. however, the hotel cannot provide breakfast and the WIFI (a common service nowaday) is charged which is unacceptable. And IBIS should be said as a bedroom rather than a hotel, no desk in the room, so I don't think i will read my document or notebook when i was in the room.
Nightlife Tip : Because of location of IBIS, tourists can go to enjoy HK night view and its night market before 24:00, it is not suggested later than 00:15 which is to close to the MTR off.

only the room a little too small It is a very good location hotel that you can get to MTR,supermarket and lunch. Those are all around you even you can take bus A 11 to airport which is only $40 HK. The bus is right across the street of the hotel.The staff are very helpful and friendly.It is a good idea for a non smoking
room so you can get a higher room and make sure
reserve a room facing the harbor.I would certainly
stay next time for my next visit in HK because it
is very inexpensive compare to others.

Just located on the top of the North Point MTR station. The smoking room has dead rat smell Anyway, it is very mini hotel, mini room, mini corridor, mini bath room(very mini), start from 7th floor with the lobby at 2nd floor. Next time I'd like to book non-smoking room and higher floor. Checkin/out is fast, less than 2 minutes but the receptionists are not that friendly and helpful.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : In the street on the back side of the hotel, there are 海皇粥店 and 许留山

- inexpensive
- location
- on the express airport bus line
- inexpensive, but nice, restaurants in the neighborhood - carpets should be cleaned more often
- add more tv channels My pros and cons pretty much sum up my opinion about the hotel. One concern when booking was whether it would be at the same general level as other IBIS establishment across the world - I've stayed at a couple of IBISs in Europe. I would say it is at par, so exactly how I pictured. I was not disappointed. As I was traveling without my family, IBIS HK served my purpose. Under similar circumstances I will stay again.
