For Hong Kong this is one of the best choices around. Our room was huge. We had a King size bed which was rock hard unfortunately .The room has a fridge and good wifi as the modem is right in the room. Our room wasn't the cleanest. The bathroom had black hairs all over the floor. The staff were ok and gave us maps and bus schedules of the area. Our itinerary stated that breakfast was included however when we went down for breakfast they said it wasn't included . We showed them the itinerary and they reluctantly gave us breakfast. Breakfast was good an omelette, fresh fruit ,toast,juice and coffee. They have free newspapers in the lobby. Our room didn't have a hairdryer but there was a sign saying that you could request one at the front desk. The room had a bathtub and plenty of hot water. The room has a kettle and coffee cups but they don't provide coffee or tea. We liked the location, Central was just a 15 minute bus ride on the number 7 or 91. Bus fare is 5.80 HK. We went to the water and were offered a half hour boat ride around the harbour and world's largest floating restaurant for 60 hk. This was the highlight of our day as we have seen all of the other Hong Kong attractions on previous trips. The A10 bus will take you from the airport in about an hour. The fare is 48HK per person. The stop is the Tin Wan/ Caritas Oswold stop. When you get off the bus walk back to the corner and go right for about three minutes and you will find the hotel. We will stay again on our next visit to HongKong. There is a Mcdonalds on the corner and a supermarket as well.

Looking for a cheap hotel in Hong Kong? It's a sure bet that the Caritas Oswald will crop up near the top of your search results. And to be honest it really isn't bad.
However, one thing you won't see advertised on the price comparison websites is the background of this hotel. Not being particularly religious I was of the opinion that Caritas was simply a hotel chain. Oops! Having now Googled it I now know that Caritas stands for the 'Christian love of humankind' and is worldwide Catholic charity.
The Oswald Cheung is run by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong and also has a community centre and social work centre onsite.
The religious nature of the hotel shouldn't affect your stay but I thought I should point this fact out.
Located in Aberdeen the hotel is a little way out from the centre of Hong Kong but buses or taxis can get you into Downtown in about 20 minutes. The location is also a good place to explore Repulse Bay and Stanley as well as hikes up to the Peak.
The hotel looks like it is having a bit of a makeover; public areas are looking really quite modern with the room I stayed in a little older. Not bad though - a very large room by Hong Kong standards with parquet flooring (looks lovely but makes an awful noise when neighbours move furniture in their rooms). Plenty of storage and a large bathroom.
The cleaning could be a little better but it is by no means awful.
The receptionist had a minor panic when she saw that two men had requested a double bed. Funnily enough my reservation was changed to a twin bed room so a small amount of furniture rearrangement had to be done every evening and morning.
This is a perfectly adequate hotel especially considering their nightly rates.

Stayed for a few nights in HK. The hotel is a budget hotel. Located a bit remote from HK down town the rate just beats it. So, don't expect any luxury or boutique hotel - it's pure basic accommodation.
Ps: don't forget your flip flops as the bathroom is not that tidy...!

Unbelievable! When I returned to this room in evening, I saw the floor, walls, table surface sweat, seriously wet! To save energy, I switched off the air con before leaving my room. I was later advised that it would be the case when other rooms had their air con on but my room with air con off.
To solve the problem, I was advised to keep the air con on at all times of the day and at low degree (19 degrees celsius). As a result, I felt freezing 🥶 when I was at the room, and had two quilts covering myself when sleeping 🛌.
Moreover, my TV turned on itself at midnight in the middle of my dream. I simply turned it off with the remote without figuring why.
It's an uncomfortable stay overall. I think it's the deficient design of the ventilation and cooling system of this building accountable for the crazy humidity. The outside humidity during my stay was 80% so I don't think it is the cause. I stayed in hotels near the sea or lake before as this place but had such experience.
I do not recommend this hotel although the room is spacious, clean tidy, location interesting with locals and price not bad.
One should know before any booking that this hotel is adjacent to cemetery. I don't mind though.

Be very careful with your credit card here. I reserved a room on another website with my credit card and when I turned up they held $750HKD with my authorisation. When I checked out, I was given a cancelled credit card slip for the held payment, and payed for my room. I then found out later that day that they has not sent through the request to release the deposit. When I got home, I could not find an email to contact the hotel directly. Instead, I sent several emails to their head office in Hong Kong and did not receive a single response. If you stay here - make sure that your budget allows for held funds for a week. I didn't, and it really made my trip miserable.

We have stayed here for two weeks and have absolutely no complaints. Nice spacious and spotlessly clean rooms and bathrooms. Anything you need just ask as nothing to much trouble. Good breakfast offered, bacon and eggs! Hotel in Aberdeen and has plenty of taxis and good bus service to Central District and Ferry terminals. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Worst hotel I've stayed in. Located close to public transport in a quiet residential area close to Aberdeen.Room at first seemed ok and big for Hong Kong. We only wanted something simple to spend the night in and have a hot shower. Neither happened.Price was good for a last minute booking but not low.State of the room was horrendous.Paper-thin walls so even though we were on 13th floor we could hear every bus going passed, every noise from the corridor and neighbours!Leak in the bathroom so floor quickly flooded, toilet wouldn't flush unless you knew a special technique to do it!Bed super hard and had stains and holes in the bedding. Hair on towels and pillows!Must have not been changed...Floor hasn't seen a brush/broom in ages,dirt and crumbs everywhere so we didn't take our shoes off,didn't shower due to marks on the bathtub.Telephone in the room didn't work properly and there was NO WIFI even though it is heavily advertised by the hotel. Walls and ceiling covered in stains. When we complained we were told things like:'yes, a lot of people experience that'(about no WIFI), and 'What do you want me to do about it?!"(when complaining about the leak). Staff clearly don't care...

I visit HK frequently and have stayed in several different hotels. I must say that Caritas Oswald Cheung International Hotel is so far the best one I have ever stayed in. The standard double room I lived in was spacious and clean, offering a great night view of the river the city nearby. Considering how small so many hotel rooms in HK are, this hotel's room is large enough to make you feel comfortable. The hotels looks very clean, and the staff at front desk very helpful. They have a small but nice cafeteria where you have breakfast, and there are also plenty of restaurants around. There is a lot of public buses and taxis around, (the hotel staff will give you a list of buslines and directions on how to get to the major attraction sites), and you can also take the hotel's own shuttle bus to airport/railway station, or if you come from the airport, you can take one of the public buses to Tin Wan which will take you directly to the hotel. So the transportation is quite convenient. The hotel is located in a great place, close to the city center. It was very reasonably priced for the services it offers. A lot Chinese tour groups choose to stay there. The only problem is that you have to take a short bus ride to the nearest MRT station, even though the bus stop is just beside the building. I will definitely stay there again.

The Caritas Oswald Cheung International House is very hard to find, as it is not named as such. It is named as the Caritas Jockey club. We arrived on the street just fine, after travelling by bus. Walked up and down the street looking for this place, in the pouring rain. Only after finding a nice girl inside a 7/11 did we find the hotel, as she showed my partner and I where it was situated. When you enter the building, I was still a bit unsure as to whether we were in the correct place. There was no indication that this was a hotel. Once we got into the lift, only then it became apparent, as the hotel was named by the floor button. When we finally go to the reception, we were greeted with an unfriendly service with no smile! As if this wasn't a bad enough welcome to a new city, upon entering our room I noticed that the toilet had failed to be cleaned and was covering in urine! So I went back to the reception to complain, no one was present, I rang the assistance bell several times and waited around 10 minutes before the host appeared. When I advised what the problem was, there no offer to move room. Instead a cleaner was sent to deal with the mess. We initially booked for 2 nights via Asia rooms, but needed to stay another night. As we failed to find another hotel within the area and to avoid the hassle of moving our bags we asked if we could extend our stay by one night. They said they could, however at a much higher price than we initially paid. We later asked another receptionist, and they gave us the room for an other night at a similar rate to what we paid initially. Confusing! The breakfast is included within the price, it's a buffet Chinese style breakfast.

We stayed here for a month after moving out of our flat and before leaving Hong Kong. The place is handy once you know which buses to get. The rooms are pretty good and you can negotiate to have or not have the breakfasts. We would stay here again.
