We loved the Bishop Lei. It was a cool hotel with nice inclusive breakfast and good facilities. The extra touches like evening turn down and spotless room cleaning were excellent.

We booked a suite, mindful of the tight space in HK and were not disappointed - it was great. Our friend had a harbour view suite and his bedroom had a 270 degree glass wall overlooking the sweep of the habour - amazing.

All the staff were frendly and helpful. True you won't get lots of space in HK but when you see how densely packed the island is, you won't be surprised! It has a great location just off the Mosque St exit of the mid levels escalator, and with cabs plentiful and cheap (under £2/$4 US to Star Ferry / Central) it's simple to get around. Not near the MTR (rail) however, but cabs were great.

The escalator ferried us safely home from Soho and Lan Kwai Fong after a few beers and we enjoyed another lovely stay in beautiful Hong Kong - thank you all!

The hotel is not very, very central but location is quite good, very close to the automatic stairs and 5 minutes to good restaurants.

I think the hotel could be not very good if you get a normal room , ver, very small, but if you get a suite it will be a fantastic experience.

The price of a suite is about a third of a room in another hotel and the view is amazing ( we stayed in floor 21st and the room is in a hill )

I will be stay here again, for sure

This is my second review of the Bishop Lei, stayed here for a second time in April 2006 for 4 weeks and still maintain this has got to be one of the best value hotels on the island.
could not fault the service, room always serviced when we returned, bed turned down at night, fresh towels. Great pool (just the right temp of 26) with great views. All staff were polite and helpfull.
As for the rooms they are small but this is a HK issue not solely a Bishop Lei thing.
It is also understandable when you see the cost of apartments in this part of the city.

Just a warning if you are an asthmatic or have other breathing difficulties: hong kong is smoggy at the best of time, so i always try to get a non-smoking room, and make a written request, citing asthma. so imagine my surprise whn i turned up to bishop lei and was told there were no non-smoking rooms available!! (yeah, not really surprised...)

So i showed the manager my printout of confirmation for the room booking (that i have booked 3 months in advance) and pointed out the line " non-smoking room requested". So what was his reply, you might wonder? He told me " That was just a request. we do not have to honour it if it is not available"

Not the best service....

And yes, the rooms are very, very, very small. my room is so small, there is no space to put my suitcase on the floor!!!!
