The 99-room iclub Wan Chai Hotel is a mid-range property with a futuristic white-on-white look. Despite its trendy decor, iclub is geared toward business travelers that value the practical basics over extensive facilities or luxurious meals. There's no on-site restaurant and bar, but a simple continental breakfast is offered in a lounge that also houses an Internet corner and a small fitness room. Though the standard rooms are small, many larger options exist and all have dedicated work desks with roller chairs. Its convenient location in the middle of Wan Chai may be a deciding factor, but those looking for more amenities should check the significantly lower rates at the Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong, which also benefits from the shared facilities at its neighboring sister hotel.

If you're seeking relatively cheap digs in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods, the Ah Shan Hostel might work. But this is very much a budget property, and frills are few to nonexistent. It's tucked into a mixed use apartment-block-slash-office-building, which either provides a cool glimpse into true local life, or doesn't, depending on your point of view. Rooms are clean, for the most part, but utterly basic. They're air-conditioned, and have free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, plus free towels and bed linens. Luggage storage, refrigerators, lockers, and free drinking water are provided. If you'd like a hostel with more character and better facilities, opt for the YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel instead, though it's farther from the central neighborhoods of Hong Kong.
