Anne Black Guest House (YWCA)

We stayed in the Anne Black Guest House during our stay in Hong Kong on Dec 5 to Dec 7. We waited a little too long to find a room and as this week all the locals were out of school, the hotels were booked and we had a hard time finding a place that wasn't $300 a night. Luckily we found this one and to save even more money we choose the communal bath option. We stayed on the 11th floor.

The hotel is about 8 blocks from the metro and you have to walk at least 2 to the main road to find a taxi, so the location was not the greatest. They were doing some remodeling in the lobby so it looked like it wasn't finished. The area around the hotel was nice and it was 3 MTR stops (maybe 4) away from the LDS temple. There is a nice bakery right on the main road--we had breakfast there both mornings. They give you business cards in English and Chinese, so the taxi drivers can read them. We never have a problem getting there.

Towels are provided; however, bottled water is not so you will need to buy some. The bathrooms are clean; however, just for sanity's sake take your shower sandals. There is a sink in the room. If you are traveling with someone, you will have to share a single bed or sleep separately--there is nothing larger than a single bed. There are individual window AC units and a color TV--but only 1 channel in English. We were high enough (and tired enough) that the busyness of the street never bothered us.

I hope that helps if you are considering staying there.
