Bishop Lei International House

If you want to pretend that you live in Hong Kong, in a residential area popular with expats and abounding in charming neighborhood restaurants and bars, call this home. Located at the top of the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, it's not as convenient as other hotels, but the hotel makes up for its out-of-the-way location with free shuttle service; plus, a half-dozen city buses stop outside its door. Managed by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, it offers tiny standard single and double rooms (with even tinier bathrooms) that have large windows letting in lots of sunshine but, unfortunately, facing inland. If you can, spring for a more expensive room facing the harbor (all twins or suites). Because they're so high up, views are fantastic. Other bonuses include a reading room for relaxation, a coffee shop with an outdoor terrace, and (surprising for a hotel this size) a small pool and exercise room.

Facilities:
Coffee shop; babysitting; small exercise room; small outdoor pool; room service; free shuttle bus to Central, Admiralty, and convention center in Wan Chai every hour or so
