The Novotel Citygate is an upscale, 440-room hotel located just across the water from Hong Kong International Airport -- a free airport shuttle takes just five minutes. Its size and adjoining shopping mall make it a useful stopover hotel and also a great base for visiting Hong Kong Disneyland, though the city center is at least half an hour away by train. Rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped, while pleasant gardens include a good-size swimming pool. The only real competitor is Regal Airport Hotel, which charges about the same and is closer to the airport.

The Mingle Place On The Wing is a 47-room, value boutique hotel in the heart of Hong Kong island's busy Sheung Wan district. While in-room technology features are impressive -- think Skype phones and free movies -- most rooms are small and showing signs of wear. Overall, although lots of thought went into the hotel's concept, there's not much in the way of substance or facilities. However, the location is great for being right in the thick of things, with the SoHo and Central districts within easy walking distance.While farther from the subway, the nearby Hotel LBP is a better option in the same price bracket.

In a city full of formal luxury hotels and drab budget options, the iclub chain is a solid bet. The Sheung Wan outpost sits in one of Hong Kong's coolest neighborhoods, with a mix of trendy eateries and cafes alongside old school market and bustling streetlife in all directions. It's also an easy walk to the Sheung Want MTR and Soho. Like all iclub properties, the 248 rooms here are simple and compact, but bright, with free Wi-Fi and multimedia TVs. Many rooms have vertigo-inducing views, and some fit up to four (making them great for families). The simple fitness area and lounge round out the truncated list of features. If you're seeking more extras and bigger rooms, opt for the Citadines Mercer instead, though you'll spend more cash there.

The upper-middle-range Gold Coast Hotel is in the Tuen Mun (Castle Peak) area, about a 25-minute drive or 45-minute MTR ride from central Hong Kong. Golden Beach is just a few steps out the hotel's front door, and it's a popular family escape from the city center. The 453 rooms come with minibars and flat-screen TVs, and some have balconies and/or sea views. Room style is variable, though, as some are sharp and fresh while others look outdated. The hotel features a large pool and children's pool, a water park, outdoor and indoor kids' clubs, a full-service spa, fitness center, and several restaurants and bars. For an alternative waterside hotel away from the city center travelers should consider the Ovolo Hotel Aberdeen Harbor, which is cheaper and more stylish.

Twenty One Whitfield is a three-pearl hotel situated in the Tin Hau section of Causeway Bay. The property isn't convenient to the city's major tourist sites, but it's close to public transportation. The 54 apartment-style units are modern and attractive, and all have comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, DVD players with iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi, but some lack bathtubs. Plenty of natural light pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows, and some units have excellent harbor views. Aside from a rooftop deck, the hotel doesn't offer much in the way of amenities. Travelers looking for more features and a better location may wish to consider Regal Hongkong Hotel on the other side of Victoria Park, but rates are slightly higher.

The Luxe Manor is a true sensory experience for the eyes. This upscale boutique hotel is designed to look like Salvador Dali's imagination -- and the result is certainly surreal, if a bit busy and over-the-top. The lobby is decorated in bold colors, there's a lip-shaped sofa in the bar, and the rooms have details such as busy animal-print carpets, and flat-screen TVs hanging in frames above faux fireplaces. The decor is quirky, to be sure, but might but it may not be to everyone's taste, and can have a sort of dizzying effect. The Luxe Manor is certainly a one-of-a-kind hotel, and has a convenient location in the popular tourist area Tsim Sha Tsui.

Hong Kong Hostel is a basic budget hostel in the busy Causeway Bay area, a short walk from Victoria Park and an MTR station. The 30 rooms are basic, with flat-screen TVs, though they could use renovations or maintenance. Past guests have complained of poorly functioning heating and cooling, hard mattresses, and spotty Wi-Fi signals. While there are bright paintings in the hotel's cramped common areas, stacks of boxes and a general lack of organization don't do much to add appeal. Additionally, not all rooms are located in the hotel's advertised address. Hostel features include a kitchen and common area with public computers. For a reasonably place alternative with way more style and charm, compare rates at Yesinn Causeway Bay.
