ibis Hong Kong North Point Review – Best Budget Hotel with Harbour View

 

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel in Hong Kong that combines comfort, convenience, and unbeatable location, Ibis Hong Kong North Point is one of the best options on Hong Kong Island. I recently spent 4 nights at this Accor property and had a truly seamless experience — made even better by the fact that I booked it for free using my Accor ALL points.

πŸ“ Prime Location – Steps Away from North Point MTR & Harbour

Located less than a minute’s walk from North Point MTR Station, Ibis Hong Kong North Point offers incredible accessibility to all parts of the city. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, its strategic location makes exploring Hong Kong effortless.

The Cityflyer Bus A11 terminus (for Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Port) is right next to the hotel. You’ll also find the cross-border bus stop opposite the property, offering direct connectivity to mainland China cities and Shenzhen Airport.

Within just a 5-minute walk, you can access:

  • North Point Ferry Pier
  • Ding Ding Tram (Hong Kong’s Iconic Tram Service)
  • Shopping malls and local street markets

For travelers who prefer public transport over taxis, the location is absolutely perfect.

πŸ›️ Check-In Experience

I arrived early morning in Hong Kong and took a direct airport bus to North Point Ferry. As an Accor Gold Elite Member, I was delighted when the staff offered me an early check-in at 9 AM — a fantastic gesture after a long flight.

My room was on a higher floor, offering breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour. The check-in process was smooth, efficient, and handled professionally by the 24-hour front desk team. I paid for this stay by burning 15400 Accor all points, multiple transactions had to be done as maximum limit to burn Point was 4000.

🌿 Sustainability Recognition – Green Globe Certified Hotel

One thing I appreciated about Ibis Hong Kong North Point is that it has received Green Globe Certification, an international recognition for sustainable tourism and eco-friendly practices. It’s always great to stay at a property that prioritizes environmental responsibility.

πŸ™️ Room Experience – Compact but Comfortable

Let’s be honest — rooms in Hong Kong are known for being compact, and Ibis North Point is no exception. The rooms are smaller than what I experienced during my Singapore Trip, but for a solo traveler, they were perfectly fine.

Each room is equipped with:

  • Satellite TV & personal safe
  • Work desk
  • Air conditioning
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Some rooms offer panoramic harbour views

One unique policy I found interesting is that daily room cleaning and complimentary bottled water are provided only to Accor Gold members and above. For others, you can request cleaning on alternate days. The hotel also recommends boiling tap water before drinking, so keep that in mind.

🍽️ Dining & Nearby Food Options

While the hotel has a small in-house cafΓ© serving breakfast, there are plenty of local eateries nearby where you can enjoy authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum, noodles, and milk tea. The North Point neighborhood is known for its local markets and food stalls, making it a paradise for food lovers who want to experience real Hong Kong flavors.

✈️ Easy Airport Access & Early Morning Checkout

On my last day, I had a 5 AM flight, and checking out early was a breeze. Thanks to the hotel’s proximity to the North Point Bus Station, I could easily catch the Cityflyer Airport Bus A11 directly to the airport — saving both time and money.

πŸ’¬ Overall Experience

  2. Harbour view rooms on higher floors
  3. Accor Gold elite recognition and early check-in
