Bishop Lei International House

Excellent, very helpful staff. Fantastic location very close to the Peak Tram, which is the reason we chose this hotel. Neighborhood is beautiful. Clean rooms. Our view from the room was great. We messed up getting off of the A11 bus and had to walk up the hill. If it is your first time in Hong Kong, Uber seems to work very well. We had a bit of trouble with the Taxis.

This is a great, affordable, safe, and very comfortable place to stay in Hong Kong, especially if you're after a terrific Mid-levels location and proximity to the Peak. It's not a flashy 5 star kind of place - apart from the views, which are magnificent. Rather it's a quiet kind of hotel, with fairly simple rooms and furnishings, but with an incredibly warm-hearted and professional staff. Everyone from the front desk and concierge to the cleaning staff went out of their way to be friendly and kind. The wifi and water pressure were both great. It's a nice touch having the coffee shop and shuttle bus, and I also used the Reading Room to do some work in. I would not hesitate to come back and would highly recommend this hotel to others.

A wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The hotel is located within walking distance of the mid level escalator. Rooms are clean and cozy. The breakfast is excellent. I would be happy to stay again.

My wife and I spent a night in this hotel. Our room was very clean, nicely set out, albeit a little small. For the price, it was very reasonable though as space is at a premium in HK. ||The hotel service was very friendly and efficient. They arranged taxis that arrived quickly. We used the restaurant / cafe which was likewise friendly and of good quality.

Second time here. Booked high floor suite with view, breakfast included. Housekeeping staff do a great job, exceptionally clean and replenish everything. Thermostat works individually, unlike most hotels have a central control, here you control each room. Restaurant on 1st floor have a daily takeaway menu. Hourly Shuttle bus takes you to Central where you connect Airport Express. Plus some delicious European cookies in lobby. I love this place

The stay in this hotel was perfect!The check in on arrival was very quick. There’s lemonade and cookies on the reception all the visitors can enjoy. The rooms have no water to drink because of “use less plastic” promotion but on the floor there’s big water bottles and you can refill your cups/thermoses any time of the day which is very convenient. The pool was great as well and the view to the city and skyscrapers is amazing especially at night time. We went to the beach couple of times and the hotel provided the towels we could take with us which is also a great bonus. The location was good, not too far from the subway, there’re a lot of convenience stores and shops around. Very close to Mid-level escalators too. Definitely worth staying and hope to visit again!

With Hong Kong hotel prices soaring, the value here was outstanding. The room is very cozy, clean, and equipped with everything you need—nothing more, nothing less. The staff service was also very attentive. The location is excellent. There are basic conveniences nearby including a convenience store, a small grocery store, and restaurants. From Central, you can easily reach it in about 15 minutes by taking the escalators. Free shuttles run every hour to locations like Hong Kong Station in Central, arriving in about 10 minutes. I was on the Airport Express just 15 minutes after checking out.

An efficient operation, decent value for money given its in HK, but the overall vibe was somewhat impersonal and lacking much 'character'. The bedroom was very suitable, had all the right facilities and was perfectly clean and tidy, and the hotel is in a good and easy location, unless you want to be on the (much more expensive) water front. Breakfast is 'fine' if you seek some kind of English offering, but even on request there was no fruit / cereals / yoghourt / pasties or croissants....... all seemed very odd.

Solid hotel not too far from Lan Kwai Fong. Beds are a bit too firm for me, but it has all the necessities. I decided to take public transportation to the hotel from the airport. While it is possible, prepare to walk up uphill lol I read some reviews that there's a shuttle, but somehow, I didn't know it at the time.

Bishop Lei is the hotel around my neighbourhood. Overall, it's not the most luxurious option for someone visiting Hong Kong, but it does give people a very unique experience in that it is one of the few hotels in the mid-levels, so in a sense tourists have a chance to see how upper middle class and expat residents go about their lives. It's convenient in that the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle to Central, Admiralty and Wan Chai, and because there's a bunch of other bus lines available to guests should they wish to travel to Causeway Bay (the shopping district), Central or Admiralty. It is also very easy to walk to Central (Hong Kong's business district) which is where the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui is. The Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical gardens are also next to this hotel. Room rates are generally quite reasonable and the facilities are adequate. Please note that they use conventional keys for their doors, not keycards. On the several occasions that my house was being renovated or there were visitors staying at the house, I wound up sleeping in their rooms. Their seaview rooms are awesome as you can get really pretty views of Central, but if you're traveling on a budget, the single and double rooms will do just fine. They're a little on the small side, but there's still some space to move around and relax. WiFi is available in this hotel, but it's not great. Don't get me wrong, you can still watch HD videos on it, but if you need to download anything, speeds will be roughly 100KB/s. The front desk will give you access codes when you check in. If you have more devices than codes, you can request additional access codes to sign your devices in to their WiFi network. As for other facilities, the beds generally use hard mattresses, and somewhat minimalistic beddings- again, adequate, not fancy, not 5-star. TV channels are somewhat basic, but you still do get access to international news channels like BBC news and CNN. When living here, I'd recommend the lower floors, because while they do have 3 elevators in service, they're all very slow, and somewhat lacking in capacity, meaning it sometimes takes a while for one to arrive at your floor. Some rooms will require that you stick the key into a switch to get power in your room, though I've been in a few that are still powered without the keys. Air conditioning is generally very good in most rooms as you get your own A/C unit as opposed to central air conditioning. If you want to open the windows, you will find that they have rather unfortunately been sealed shut. I guess that's their way of encouraging you to go out and explore the town. Again, facilities in this hotel are less than great, but if you focus on the location, room rates and this hotel's proximity to tourist attractions, this place offers a pretty decent deal.

The pros: This hotel is reasonably priced, located near many eateries and they provide shuttle services to several train stations including the one that takes you to the airport. They have an outdoor pool which is great on hot days. There is free Wifi. Also, the front desk staff upgraded my room for free. The cons: The hotel's decor is not very modern (about 10-15 years old), the rooms are small, even the upgraded one, the mattresses is on the hard side and the carpets cleanliness is questionable. My major bone of contention with this hotel was the urine smell in the room and hallway on the 11th floor. You know that dreaded smell... of a bathroom in which you're afraid to walk in but you use because you have to go so badly! Yeah, that one. I complained about it and their resolution was spraying the carpet and turning my A/C on to the coldest temperature. Of course that did not solve the problem... Thank goodness today is my last day here!

I stayed at this hotel for a week and loved it. You have to remember that it's not a modern hotel; however, the staff makes up for it. The staff was very helpful and checked on to me to see if I needed anything. I stayed in the harbor suite and I recommend doing so since the hotels in Hong Kong tend to be smaller according to American standard. The location is about a five minute walk to the mid level stairs. There is also a shuttle that takes you to the central MTR and airport express. Overall, I recommend this spot and will be back. Only downside was the pool was being renovated.

This place has bed bugs, mice, mold and extremely unhelpful staff. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel at all costs.

DON'T STAY HERE. I had a nasty experience with this hotel this morning (Nov 27). The driveway into the hotel entrance from the main road is very prone to accidents. I've seen a lot of of "near misses" recently, and today it happened to me unfortunately. As I was crossing the driveway towards the bus stop, a van turned in from the main road and was just inches from knocking me over. I was fortunate as I was able to run away quickly to avoid a fatal accident. The driver was looking at me straight in the eye but did not even bother to slow down. The van was delivering supplies to the hotel. I complained to the hotel and gave them my contact number. I expected to be given a follow up. A few hours later I was surprised to get a call from a car rental company. The caller said the hotel had given my number to them, asking them to speak with me. It transpired what had happened was that the van was a rented vehicle used by the food supplier who was delivering produce to the hotel. I was shocked the hotel had given my personal details to the supplier who in turned had given it to the car rental company. I told the hotel I did not authorise my details to be provided to so many individuals down the chain. It's obvious the hotel did not want to acknowledge any responsibility for the incident. I then complained to the manager there (Ivy Siu) but she didn't seem to be interested in acknowledging their mistake and pushed away all responsibility. I am taking the matter to the Police. In the meantime, I would advise visitors to avoid staying here for their own personal safety.

Quaint hotel in Midlevels HK. Retro cool abounds. Lifts from the 70s or 80s.The pool was closed for winter. Exercise room was mainly aerobic machines. Rooms fitted around the bed and this is standard for HK. You have to key on your electricity. Easy 30 min walk from HK train station. This is where the airport train unloads on HK island. Follow the elevators till you get close to Robinson rd. Lots of bars, European eats and western knickknacks around. Not so easy to get a HK bowl of noodles but pasta, tortilla & pizza easy to come by.
