Right next to MTR, Clean rooms and do a Good Cause”

Caritas Bianchi Lodge is managed by Caritas-Hong Kong, the Official Social Welfare Bureau of the Roman Catholic Church in Hong Kong. Part of the reason I chose this place is also because I can support a good cause while holidaying It's located just next to Yau Ma Tei MTR, and lots of things to eat and shop around. There is a famous ramen shop just in front of the hotel, and a Hong Kong pastries shop that you can buy souvenirs from - very convenient indeed! Room-wise - very new, comfortable and faces a hill. It is tranquil and room service is prompt. My stay came with breakfast at a really old-school cafeteria. It's no frills but works for me - there's so many things to eat in HKG anyway Overall, a very pleasant stay, and would go back again. If there is anything to criticise at all, maybe it's the only sole, slow lift. I'm on holiday anyway, so I can afford to wait 5mins

Convenient and spacious room”

This was my sixth visit to Hong Kong and by far one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Having been to Hong Kong numerous times, one would know about the size of the typical Hong Kong hotel room. However, I was truly impressed. This was the biggest hotel room I ever had in Hong Kong. Our room was spacious and had all the necessary amenities - hair dryer, bottled water, safe, adapter, etc. Our room was facing the road but as we were on a high floor, we could hardly hear the noise from the road. The hotel is located within 5 minutes walk from Yau Ma Tei MTR and also within walking distance to Mongkok and Jordan. The hotel is easily accessible and if you are coming from the airport, just take bus A21 from the airport, alight at Man Ming Lane and the hotel is within 5 mins walk. Our booking didn't include breakfast but this was not necessary as there were a lot of eateries around the hotel, there was also a supermarket and a convenience store right in front of the hotel. There is a Japanese ramen shop right in front of the hotel and always had long queues but it was well worth the wait - the ramen was truly delicious. If there was anything to complain about, its that the hotel does not provide tissue. Other than that, I truly enjoyed my stay at Caritas Bianchi and would consider staying there if I visit Hong Kong again.

Experience at Caritas Bianchi Lodge”

We had our trip in HongKong this February and we stayed at Caritas Bianchi Lodge for 3 nights. Our overall experience in the hotel was great. We didn't have problems checking-in and out. They have friendly and accommodating staff and know how to speak English. They clean our room daily and change the towels upon our request. The room has a mini bar in case you want to get a drink and doesn't want to go out from the hotel. Aircon is fully functional. The bed and pillows are comfortable to sleep with. The room is peaceful, not noisy and with a good view. The breakfast is included in our booking and we are satisfied with the breakfast buffet. It also provides free internet in case you're bringing a laptop. The hotel has a nice location, very near Yau Ma Tei MTR station. There's a 7 Eleven store nearby and a few minutes walk from Jade Market and Temple Street Night Market. We'll probably stay at Caritas again on our next trip to HongKong.

Nice hotel, great location”

the caritas bianchi lodge hotel is a nice hotel in a great location. within 5 minutes walk of temple street night market area and very close to the yau ma tei mtr station and the express bus station to get to the airport. the room was a little small, but from what i hear is actually big for hong kong. bed was comfortable, internet was reliable, and staff pretty helpful and seemed to have fair english and mandarin ability.

Great place to stay! Highly recommended!”

Really great place to stay! This is my second trip to HK, and while I had previously stayed at Silka Seaview Hotel and loved it, Caritas Bianchi Lodge Hotel was an even better experience! Rooms were relatively large for HK standard, and so comfortable that it felt like home. Location was a good 2 mins walk from Yau Ma Tei MTR (Exit C, cross the road after coming out from exit, turn right and walk straight until you see a 7-11, immediately turn left into the small lane). The only things that can be improved are the breakfast food which was mediocre, and also provision of complimentary bottled water would have been appreciated.

An absolute jewel in the city for tourists.”

We were on a budget family trip and we found the Caritas Bianchi much better than the hotels we previously stayed in. Its location in Yau Ma Tei was very advantageous from the shopper's point of view. The MTR is just across the street (about 50 meters). There were 2 convenience stores at the corner. You could get a lot of bargains just walking around the area. The staff were very polite and had an adequate command of English. The rooms were larger than most budget hotels in the City plus internet was free. I would definitely seek the Caritas Bianchi out again the next time we visit HK. It made for a very memorable trip for my family.

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Hotel”

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Hotel is worth every penny! Clean beds and toilet. Satisfying facilities in rooms - Internet, TV, mini bar, safety deposit box, fresh clean towels & floor mat, shampoo, shower gel, tooth brush, tooth paste and hand soap all provided for. I think it'd be perfect if a hair dryer and a water boiler is included in the rooms. As its a pretty aged hotel, the carpets feels and looks a little bit over used. The rooms faces a tree covered park. Its very near to food joints, Yau Ma Tei MRT, Temple Street, 7-11, ATM machines of a few banks. Needless to say, its centralized location in Kowloon is very convenient!

Better than expected. Comfortable. Convenient. ”

It took me 2 weeks to pick the best hotel in Hong Kong. Caritas Bianchi was on top of my list because it comes at a very reasonable price, provides a mini-bar (a rarity with most HK budgets), very good location and of course, breakfast included. I would have paid for it immediately and save the trouble if not that the staffs failed to get back to my queries despite waiting and waiting. They did not even bother till the day I paid, stayed and checked out. Why? Anyone? That's a small matter now because I stayed 5 nights with them and would surely go back again. Why?? 1)Decent service. Don't ever expect HK natives to smile even if you are a big customer. Almost 90% will not. Just adopt the mind-set you got what you paid for and smile to yourself. 2)Big room/Daily room-cleaning. Well, you shouldn't complain about the size of HK budget hotels until you travelled to Japan and seen theirs. 3)Coffee/Friendly waiter. If you are the kind who needs coffee to start your day this hotel is a must. You get aromatic coffee free-flow from 7:30 to 10:30am along with scones, and Kellogg's. And a nice waiter too. The only HK uncle throughout the territory who will offer a smile and able to converse in English, Chinese and Cantonese. Just pick any of them three he will get you your table. 4)Fast check-in/check-out. Don't presume you can take the drinks at the mini-bar or break anything in your room without anyone noticing. A $300 deposit on your first day and someone to scrutinize your room before they refund you on your check-out day. I'm an honest child so that's fine with me. Other than that, you walk in and out your room daily without having to see any straight faces at the reception. By the way, the valets are friendly. Enough-said! If you are planning to visit HK soon, book Caritas Bianchi!

Great hotel at a very good rate.”

We liked a number of things about the Caritas Bianchi Lodge and will probably stay there again. First, I liked the size of the room because it was spacious compared to other hotels in Hong Kong.There was lots of space to get around and to open your luggage. Second, I liked the size of the hotel itself. It was not large like the other hotels so it was nice to find our way around. Third, the breakfast was very nice. There were several items that were the same every day but it was nice also to have a couple of items that varied each day. Fourth, the proximity to the subway station and to convenience stores just made it a great place to stay. We always used another hotel but are probably going to change to the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in the future.

Reasonable price for great location ”

The biggest strength of this hotel is definitely its location. It's about 5 minutes away from Yau Ma Tei MTR, a short walk from all those night markets. It's perfect for shopping and strolling at night. There is also a convenient store that's open 24 hrs just around the corner, so you can grab quick snacks in the middle of the night. The hotel also offers free breakfasts, though the selection is few. Like other reviewers said, I would suggest you try local restaurants to get the local morning experience. Food here is delicious and not too expensive. What I don't like much about the place must be the room condition. The paint seems to be falling off. The furniture looks a bit old and worn-out, especially the bathroom equipments (e.g. stained tiles, dirty-looking toilet bowl). However, the rest of it is fine with me, considering the fact that I only need a safe, comfortable place to sleep. All in all, I enjoyed my stay at Caritas Bianchi Lodge and thought it was worthed my money. I would recommend this place for budget travellers, but perhaps not for honeymoon couples or those who are looking for a night of luxury.

One of the Better Hotels in this Location!”

I stayed for 2 nights in Caritas Bianchi Lodge. First, I had to change my booking a couple of days prior to my booking and the staffs handled it graciously. The location is pretty strategic, 1-2 minutes walk to Yao Ma Tei station and bus stops. You can take bus A21 from the airport, get off at Man Ming Lane and walk for about 1 minute to the hotel. It's about 10-15 minutes walk to the Mong Kok area. As for the room, I think they're pretty spacious. The same thing can't be said to a number of hotels in Hongkong! Not luxurious but not spartan. Cosy and clean. I'd definitely recommend this hotel again.

Great location, service, cleanliness”

i has a wonderful stay in caritas bianchi lodge hotel. excellent cleanliness as their lifts are sterilized every 2 hours. there is also a sterilized carpet located outside the hotel so that guests would not dirty the floor inside the hotel. the rooms are also cleaned everyday (for 5 nights) during my stay. there is also a pleasant scent once you entered this hotel. service are great and the security guards in the hotel are friendly too. they would greet you when they saw you. location are great. about 5 minutes walk from the mtr station and within walking distance (about 7 minutes walk) to temple street. however, i felt that the pillows in the hotel are abit too soft for my liking. the choices of breakfast buffet are also limited and they had scrambled eggs everyday. tips: if anyone wanted to visit the ocean park or disneyland, you could get a discounted price at the counter. this hotel is really great and i would like to stay here again for my next visit!

Probably the best value for your money (without a pool)”

I stayed in HK for six days and had three rules for choosing a hotel: either have a swimming pool, have large rooms, or be close to public transportation. Oh, wait, I was on a budget too! Caritas Bianchi Lodge doesn't have a pool, but it sure has lots of space, and it’s very close to the bus stop and Yau Ma Tei MTR. It's also the one where you will be most satisfied if your budget is around 60 USD per night. And trust me, it's quite hard to come by 'space' when you're in HK, unless you're willing to pay $100+ USD p/n. The staff is very friendly, especially the guy in thick black glasses. However, I had to take some points out of cleanliness because I noticed a lack of meticulousness in cleaning floors. It seems the housekeeping staff will only clean what's visible, and not under the beds or the couch. And if there’s one more flaw I would mention, is the lack of soundproofing between rooms. It didn’t bother me that much, but it might to those have sensitive ears or light sleepers.

Caritas Bianchi Review”

Caritas Bianchi Lodge is perfect for staying in Hongkong especially for those who ahve limited budget but would like to make sure that they stay in a clean and neat place. They also serve pretty good breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Being in Yau Ma Tei, which is one station away from Mongkok and very accessible to our MTR stations to reach tourist spots in HK, Caritas Bianchi Lodge is really recommended.

Best Hotel I've stayed in in Asia so far!”

What a fantastic hotel! This was the second hotel I had stayed in in Hong Kong during the week so I was totally surprised by the size of the room. It was one of the biggest hotel rooms I had ever stayed in; the bathroom was perfect-spacious, large sink area and very large shower with a 'rain water' shower head design. The beds were so comfortable, (unlike the usual hard bed most hotels there use) and unbelievably quiet! Was on the top floor and was first time in my life I hadn't been woken by noises around the hotel. Had brilliant view over a park and the hotel itself is on a small quiet side road off the hectic Nathan road. Two minutes walk from Yau Ma Tei metro exit and many bus stops along Nathan road just a minute up from the hotel. Plus a 7/11 and supermarket a few seconds walk from hotel for drinks/snacks etc. Didn't eat the breakfast as with comfy beds I slept it out but I've heard it's very tasty. Only downside was the slow lift getting to the reception and stopping at lots of floors but it's cramped Hong hong, and you expect this from the hotels in Hong Kong, as well as the Wifi was a bit poor at times, but most other hotels appear to charge for the WIFI use so I was very pleased with it being Free either way. Overall I will definitely be recommending this to my family and friends.

Big rooms, good location”

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Hotel is a good choice for accommodation in Hongkong. I was in a group of 4 and the room was really huge (which I gather is quite rare for HK hotel standards.) Room was clean, they provide almost everything in the room (just that the small fridge has seen better days), wifi connection was good. Breakfast was also ok as there are several choices (they change 2 food items per day). Location was great in that it's less than 5 minutes walk to Yau Ma Tei MRT. And YMT is also centrally located, you can easily transfer lines going to the shopping areas and popular tourist attractions. There's also a 7-11 that's literally just in front of the hotel. (Although if you want to be in the center of shopping districts and tourist area, you might want to just choose a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway Bay area, although this may also be more expensive.) Anyway, the staff in Caritas are also quite helpful. You can also purchase tickets to certain tourist attractions from the front desk at a discount.

I will be back ! My BEST hotel stay in Hong Kong !”

I go to Hong Kong about one to two times each year, and every time I have ended up with a very small room, a toilet you have to squat over to take a shower, unprofessional staff with no interest to serve their customers.... NOT THIS TIME ! This is the BEST hotel I have stayed at in Hong Kong. It is located in one of the side streets to Hong Kong's main street in the Yau Ma Tei area. The staff - both the doorman/security and the people at front desk was super friendly, professional and always helpful. The room was big - especially compared to the Hong Kong standard, with a nice bed, writing desk, refrigerator, a closet with a safe, air condition, WiFi and a bath room with a separate shower ! The shower was not placed over the toilet, but had it's own 'room' with two shower heads - one you could hold in your hand and one big over head one ! All very nicely sized and clean. Felt very comfortable and safe (though Hong Kong is a safe place). Slept really well each night.

Pleasurable stay!”

It was my third trip to Hong Kong and first time staying in Caritas Bianchi. I never expected to have such spacious room as the last hotel i stayed with higher rate was almost half of Caritas's room. Though the room design looked old but most of the essential facilities are provided such as wired internet, cabinet with plenty of hangers, clean towers etc. I can see the management must have taken good care of this lodge, i will say their design is like 80s hotel but most of the things looked new and won't give you an impression like dirty old items. My wife and I loved the location for it is convenient to walk to Mongkok (less than 8 mins) and walk across to men's street. Along the way, there are numbers of restaurants or shopping complexes. It is at justifiable cost & pleasurable experience for my recent stay!

Convenient Location”

I've stayed at Caritas Bianchi Lodge several times, and this time was also a great stay. The room, though small, was clean. Beds and pillows were quite comfortable. When we couldn't locate an electrical wall outlet, housekeeping sent a maid with an extension cord and adapter for our needs. She also brought a hair dryer, which we were allowed to keep for the length of our stay. The buffet breakfast included both Western and Asian foods, along with lovely fresh fruit. The foods differed each of the three mornings we were there. The hotel is conveniently located, just off Nathan Road, with busses and the MTR subway nearby. I will choose Caritas Bianchi again and again.
