Hotel Benito [Hong Kong]

We stayed in a hotel at Tsim Sha Tsui called Hotel Benito. It is a small boutique hotel only 7 storeys high. Still, I would recommend it highly due to the following reasons!

1) It’s at a very convenient location, just a few steps away from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. It was so easy just getting to other attractions along the Tsuen Wan line. The hotel is also walking distance to many of the attraction in TST like Avenue of Stars, the Star Ferry Terminal, and various shopping malls.

2) It’s pretty affordable around $150 plus per night. For other hotels, they can cost $200 plus per night. I recommend that you book through travel websites like Asiatravel for discounted rates.

3) The staff are generally helpful and friendly. Forgetful me din bring the credit card that I used to book our Disneyland tickets. They managed to contact the Disneyland office and helped us so that we could still collect our tickets! We also accidentally broke one of the hotel glasses but they were kind enough not to charge us for it.

4) Lots of good food around! There is a breakfast place just to the left of the hotel’s entrance and the buns were nice and sweet! There are lots of fast food around like Burger King, Yoshinoya and KFC if you tire of Chinese food. And our last meal was at a fantastic Japanese place just across the road, more on Doraya in my future posts!

Some cons though:

1) Room is very teeny! But we were OK with it since we would be out exploring HK most of the day.

2) No free wireless, only free broadband. Thankfully we had a room with a huge window and we were able to tap into some unprotected wireless. Thank you Wavoo whoever you are!

3) Dun expect 4 star standard!

All in all, we were happy to save some money with this affordable hotel and its location is really an exceptional plus point!
