Keen
competition and the laws of supply and demand have
ensured that Hong Kong's hotels maintain the highest
standards. They also regularly introduce new facilities
and invest in ambitious renovation programmes. This
means there is no need for an official star rating
system.
An additional 3 per cent government tax
and a 10 per cent service charge are charged except
where stated otherwise. With a wide selection of
locations, facilities, rates and styles, Hong Kong's
hotels offer you unprecedented
choice.

Guesthouses and
Hostels
The facilities available at
guesthouses are comparatively more limited than at
hotels. Those available at the YMCA and YWCA
hostels are, on the other hand, quite
comprehensive.
Hong Kong Hotels
Association
Visitors arriving at the Hong
Kong International Airport can receive assistance
at the Hotel Reservation Centres inside the Buffer
Hall located after the Customs Area. The desk is

arrange accommodation, at no extra charge, at any
hotel that is a member of the

Kong Hotels Association (HKHA) on Hong Kong
Island, in Kowloon or the New Territories.
Transportation can also be arranged to HKHA hotels
as well.
