Getting to Hotel Jen Hong Kong is super easy and fast. The airport express trains leave right from the airport and will have you on Hong Kong island in 23 minutes. You can buy your ticket at the airport or in advance for a discounted price here. We advise booking online as it not only saves you money but you won’t have to stand in the ticket line at the airport.

  • Booking online $9 USD one way $16 USD round trip
  • Purchasing at the airport $100HK one way ($13 USD)

*Do not stand in the line at the airport for tickets. Just get on the train and when you get off the train at Hong Kong Island go to the counter and show them the Klook voucher that is emailed right after purchasing. If you purchase the round trip option they’ll give you a return ticket as well*

Free Hotel Shuttle

Once at Hong Kong station Hotel Jen Hong Kong has a free shuttle to the hotel, click here for times and pickup location. If you are arriving/leaving outside of scheduled shuttle hours taxis in Hong Kong are super reasonable, actually cheaper than Uber. A taxi to Hotel Jen from the station should be under $5USD but varies with traffic/luggage/etc. We mainly took taxis after taking one Uber ride and realizing it was two times the price of a metered taxi.

A good night’s rest is a must when we’re traveling, as we were on a mission to see as much of the city as possible. The beds at Hotel Jen Hong Kong had us waking up refreshed and even before the alarm went off. We both loved waking up to the sun peeking in and looking out to harbour.
