Ibis northpoint hotel and area

does anyone know anything about this hotel and the general area. Ibis has a great price, so I am wondering why. we will be traveling with two children.



Ibis northpoint hotel and area


The rooms are small. It%26#39;s not in a busy or upscale area. You have to walk maybe 5 minutes for public transit. Some rooms may have waterfront view. My colleague had stayed there for 2 years because it%26#39;s close to the office. It%26#39;s a matter of location and room size. Also it%26#39;s an Ibis, a budget European hotel chain.

Rooms are extremely small for a hotel. All rooms have 1 double bed and may not even have enough space for 2 people to walk around the room. But besides the size of the room, i see no other problem. Location is more quiet as it is in a mainly residential area. Easy access to the MTR and Tram.




Hi, this hotel is part of the Accor group of hotels. With two children,you will need two bedrooms. Room size is rather compact; harbour views room provides vista view of the harbour.





Across the road,is the North Point bus terminus (and also ferry pier to Hung Hom and Kowloon City),and just few yards away is North Point MTR station(exit A1-turn right when you come out of Exit A1,and you are on Java Road).





General area consists of housing flats,and stores and eateries and also office complexes.




Ibis is cheap because 1) it%26#39;s a budget hotel chain that belongs to Accor group. The hotel has small functional cookie cutter rooms but quite ok for a cheap hotel. I have stayed in several of them in France and they are usually ok; 2) the location Java Road of North Point, a residential area that is not expensive.





There are some eateries around and some residential buildings. Small local shops and food markets are also nearby. It%26#39;s not the best looking area but it%26#39;s just as safe as other parts of HK.





Most transport options can be found within 2 to 3 minutes walking from the hotel.
