The two-pearl Yesinn Causeway Bay is a budget hostel that's close to Causeway Bay's shopping, dining, and public transportation. Dorms are either for females only or mixed, and there also are a few private rooms for one to three people. Beds are stacked three high, but each comes with a reading light, three-prong outlet, and a privacy curtain. Guests may have to wait for use of the bathroom in the dorm-style rooms. The rooftop garden is a popular space, as is the lounge in the lobby with a massage chair.

This budget hotel has a great location in the middle of Hong Kong's financial district, within walking distance of the lively Lan Kwai Fong district. But it's situated on a steep street that might pose problems for some. True to its name, the 196 guest rooms are tiny and furnished only with beds, which take up all available floor space. It's worth upgrading to a room with a window, or even better, to one with a balcony and city view. Note that some guests complain of cleanliness issues, poor Wi-Fi, and noise due to thin walls and loud ACs. Features are limited, but there is a comfy communal lounge and a vending machine with drinks and snacks. Travelers seeking larger rooms might want to check out Butterfly on Hollywood, which features stylish movie-themed decor and offers rooms with kitchenettes.

The 300-room Holiday Inn Express Hong Kong Kowloon East is an upper-middle-range, chain hotel located far from the downtown Hong Kong area. The hotel is on top of a tall building that also houses an O MTR Station, making the trip downtown about an hour on public transportation. A free breakfast (that gets mixed reviews) is provided, and there are several restaurants inside the shopping mall that shares the building. Rooms are sleek and modern with minimalistic decor, contemporary bathrooms with pretty tile, work desks, and colorful modern art; some offer sea or mountain views. There are no mini-fridges in the rooms, and elevators can get crowded resulting in long wait times. Guests should compare rates with Harbour Grand Kowloon, a hotel overlooking the harbor with a pool, spa, and seven dining options.

The Mini Hotel Causeway Bay Hong Kong is a budget hotel that offers a hostel vibe with limited extras, but rooms are clean and private. The lobby is charming and artsy with lots of hangout space and a 24-hour front desk, but there are no other property features and no breakfast service. The 196 rooms are modern but truly tiny, with wood floors, white walls, and transparent shower cubes with faux marble accents. Beds tend to take up most of the rooms, and entry-level rooms may not have windows. Amenities are surprisingly well-rounded: flat-screen TVs, electronic safes, hairdryers, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi, but there are few toiletries. Travelers looking for budget prices that don't mind a hostel environment could consider Yesinn Causeway Bay.

The four-pearl Novotel Century Hong Kong hotel is an ideal spot for business travelers looking to be near the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, though with amenities that include meeting spaces and a business center, as well as a 24-hour fitness center, pool, children’s corner, and a variety of dining options, the chain hotel caters to the corporate crowd and families alike. Its 511 rooms are a bit small, but pleasant, and include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and coffee/tea makers, while suites have separate living rooms. Not all rooms have free Wi-Fi, however, nor do they include a free breakfast buffet. And guests have noted that it’s sometimes difficult to communicate in English with staff. Travelers seeking a hotel with similar business and leisure amenities, but with free Wi-Fi and a shuttle bus to the convention center, might want to consider the Metropark Hotel Causeway Bay Hong Kong.

The Maple Leaf Guest House is a budget-friendly property that's akin to a hostel. Its setting in the famous (or notorious, depending on your view) Chungking mansion won't be to everyone's taste and the Tsim Sha Tsui area and crowds can be a bit overwhelming. While rooms are small with very basic amenities, they are clean, secure, and -- most importantly for the majority of Maple Leaf's guests -- very cheap.
