Location & Getting Around
Situated in a highly dense, commercially active pocket of Causeway Bay, the hotel offers immediate access to both high-end retail and traditional Hong Kong street culture.
- Bowrington Road Market — The hotel sits immediately adjacent to this bustling municipal market, providing guests with instant access to wet market stalls, local grocers, and a renowned cooked food centre on the upper floors.
- Canal Road Flyover — Located one block west of the hotel, the underpass of this flyover is the famous site for 'Da Siu Yan' (petty person beating), where local elderly women perform traditional folk rituals using slippers to strike paper effigies.
- Times Square — Hong Kong's major retail landmark and the main access point for the Causeway Bay MTR (Exit A) is a flat, 500-metre walk from the hotel lobby.
Rooms, Suites & Occupancy
The accommodation at Best Western Causeway Bay is strictly utilitarian, designed to offer an affordable base in one of the world's most expensive real estate markets.
- Compact urban footprint — Reflecting Hong Kong's real estate density, the 258 guest rooms are highly compact, averaging 14 to 15 square metres. They are designed for function rather than lounging, outfitted with a narrow work desk, flat-screen TV, and tea-making facilities.
- Bedding configurations — Rooms are offered with either one standard double bed or two single beds. There are no expansive suites, and the layout leaves minimal floor space for multiple large suitcases.
- Occupancy limits — Fire safety codes and room dimensions strictly cap occupancy at two guests per room. Rollaway beds cannot be accommodated, making the hotel challenging for young families unless multiple rooms are booked.
Facilities & Dining
As a midscale urban base, on-site facilities are limited, encouraging guests to utilize the surrounding neighbourhood for dining and entertainment.
- Rooftop terrace — The hotel's primary leisure facility is an open-air terrace on the 39th floor, featuring a small spa pool (jacuzzi) and seating. It provides a rare, uncrowded vantage point over the Causeway Bay skyline and glimpses of Victoria Harbour.
- The Café — A basic dining room located on the lower levels provides a daily morning buffet catering to international and Asian tastes, alongside a simple beverage service throughout the day.

Opening
The property opened as a purpose-built 39-storey midscale tower, expanding Best Western's presence in the dense Causeway Bay district and catering to budget-conscious international and regional travellers.
Good to know
Can a family of four share a single room?
Due to strict Hong Kong fire regulations and the highly compact nature of the property, standard rooms sleep a maximum of two adults. There is no space for extra beds or rollaways. Families of four must book two separate rooms, and connecting rooms are not guaranteed.
How large are the guest rooms?
Standard rooms at this property average 14 to 15 square metres (approximately 150 square feet). This is typical for budget and midscale hotels in dense Hong Kong districts, meaning space is primarily configured for a bed, a small desk, and an en-suite bathroom with little floor space for large luggage.
Does the hotel have a swimming pool?
The hotel does not have a swimming pool, but it features a rooftop jacuzzi and seating terrace on the 39th floor, offering elevated views of the Causeway Bay skyline. Access may be seasonal or weather-dependent.
Is breakfast included or available on-site?
A standard continental and Asian buffet breakfast is served daily in the hotel's café. However, given the hotel's location, many guests choose to eat at local cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style diners) or the adjacent Bowrington Road Market.
How far is the hotel from the MTR and the airport?
The hotel is approximately a five-minute walk from Causeway Bay MTR station (Exit A, accessed via the basement of the Times Square shopping mall). From Hong Kong International Airport, the journey takes around 45 minutes by taxi or one hour via the Airport Express (connecting to the Island Line at Central).
