Hop Inn

For my first night in Hong Kong, Hop Inn on Canarvon in Tsim Sha Tsui certainly threw me into the bustling heart of Kowloon. It’s only a short walk from the MTR exit, though I struggled finding it at first as the street is teeming with signs and lights — there’s a poster on the entrance way showing they are there so keep an eye out for it.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, immediately informing me of the Wi-​Fi details (essential in HK these days!). The room was clean and as described — space may be at a serious premium but you only need somewhere to wash and sleep before you head out to explore. It has air-​con which was much needed in the heat but it’s rather noisy at night so you might have to endure the whirring sound or keep it switched off and endure the temperature!
Rather than a separate bathroom, there’s a glass panelled ‘wet room’ containing the sink, toilet and shower, so privacy-​wise be prepared if there’s two of you sharing!
All in all it’s a quirky place to stay, with lots of cool art (each room is ‘designed’ by a different artist). I’d recommend it for short 1 – 2 night stays in Kowloon.
Tip: bathroom towels are provided.
