Hilton Hostel" for 2000 HKD a night?! 🤯 Definitely paying for that "location tax."
Hotel: Motto by Hilton Hong Kong Soho
📍Location: Sai Street, Sheung Wan
💰Price: 2000+ RMB / night
Even though I'm a Hilton Diamond member and this is a brand new hotel that just opened in 2025, it's still the most 'mini' Hilton I've ever stayed in. If I had to categorize it, it's basically the Hilton version of a 'hostel' 🥲
✔️The only pro:
The location is absolutely fantastic. It's in the heart of Sheung Wan, right downstairs from popular eateries and Lan Kwai Fong. Central Ferry Pier is just a few minutes' walk away, giving you that full Hong Kong vibe. If you're only in Hong Kong for non-stop exploring and nightlife, this is indeed a convenient 'base camp.'
❌Everything else is a con:
1️⃣ Room size: Suffocatingly small. They say it's 20 square meters, but it feels even more cramped in reality. You can only open your luggage in the hallway, and then you have to hop around on one foot – a perfect illustration of 'every inch of land is precious.'
2️⃣ Toilet: Is it for Hobbits? I really need to talk about this bathroom! The toilet height is probably only for children, my knees almost reach my chest. For someone 185cm+, using the toilet is like doing squats 🧎♂️. This design is truly outrageous.
3️⃣ Breakfast: Extremely perfunctory. No buffet, just set menus, and the taste is very ordinary 🥗.
4️⃣ Member benefits: Non-existent. Diamond status is useless here. Room upgrade? Doesn't exist, the front desk just tells you it's full (if you know, you know). Welcome amenities are also practically nothing.
