Hong Kong Subway (MTR) Guide: Maps, Fares & Tips
As a Canadian traveller, Hong Kong’s MTR is my top choice for city exploration. It is clean, reliable, and fully English-accessible with no Cantonese required. Covering all major tourist districts, it runs far more efficiently than Canadian transit. This guide simplifies MTR travel for hassle-free sightseeing.

Hong Kong Subway (MTR) Network Overview
Hong Kong’s MTR network includes 9 heavy rail core lines + dedicated Airport Express premium rail service (Light Rail is a separate suburban system, not included in main tourist heavy rail routes). The full network spans 271km with over 90 stations, covering Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and Lantau Island to connect downtown, suburban and resort areas for fast tourist travel.
The MTR map features a simple, fixed layout with unique line colours, English labels, bilingual station signage and clear interchange markers. Geographically intuitive for easy route checking, free physical maps are available at all stations, while the official MTR app offers digital route planning.
MTR Operating Hours: Is It 24-Hour?
The MTR is not 24-hour. Standard hours run approximately 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily, with minor line-specific variations. Major downtown last trains depart around 12:30 a.m.
After hours, travellers can take night buses, red taxis or green minibuses. Early first trains suit sunrise sightseeing and airport transfers.

HK Subway Ticketing Options: Best Choices for Canadian Tourists
After testing all MTR ticket options, I’ve sorted the most cost-effective, tourist-friendly choices for Canadian visitors by convenience and use case:
1. Octopus Card (Top Pick for Most Stays)
The Octopus Card is Hong Kong’s universal transit and payment card, highly recommended for stays over 2 days. It supports contactless payments everywhere and offers discounted MTR fares vs single-journey tokens.
- Cost & Details: Standard adult Octopus: HK$200 total (HK$50 fully refundable deposit + HK$150 pre-loaded stored value). Tourist Octopus: HK$39 (no deposit, refundable balance). Available at MTR stations, the airport, 7-Eleven and ferry terminals. Top-ups are widely accessible, with a HK$3000 maximum stored value.
- Beyond MTR Usage: It works on all local transit and at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and vending machines.
- Key Benefit: Octopus saves HK$2–5 per trip, offering noticeable savings for frequent riders.

Includes HKD 50 Balance

2. MTR Tourist Day Pass
Perfect for busy 1–3 day trips with frequent rides. Fixed long-term pricing: 1-Day Pass (HK$75, 24-hour unlimited regular MTR rides); 3-Day Pass (HK$250 single Airport Express trip / HK$350 double trips).
- Limitations: Excludes Airport Express, East Rail first-class cabins and cross-border trips. Disneyland Resort Line is limited to round-trip use only.
3. Single-Journey Tokens
Single-journey tokens are one-way tickets sold via station machines. Fares are distance-based (HK$5–8 short, HK$8–12 mid, HK$12+ long trips). Only suitable for travellers taking fewer than 4 total rides, as they are the most expensive and inflexible option.
Quick Decision Guide for Canadians
- 1–2 busy days: 1-Day Tourist Pass
- 3+ days: Standard Octopus Card (best value)
- Short 1-day minimal travel: Single tokens

MTR vs. Other Hong Kong Transport Options
As a Canadian traveller, I’ve compared Hong Kong’s main transport modes to help you choose wisely for each scenario:
- MTR: Fast, reliable, weather-proof and budget-friendly for most urban sightseeing.
- Taxis: Great for late nights, group travel and door-to-door trips but more costly and prone to minor delays.
- Buses/Minibuses: Low-cost for suburbs but route signage is unfriendly for first-time tourists.
- Double-Decker Trams: Iconic heritage transport on Hong Kong Island. Low flat fare via Octopus, perfect for scenic casual rides.
- Ferries: Offers stunning cross-harbour views, though route coverage is limited.

This hotel, with its excellent location, was actually the one I least looked forward to on this trip, but it turned out to be a wonderful surprise and offered great value for money. Staff members were always there to help with luggage when we entered or left.

What more could you ask for at this price and location? The hotel is just across the road from Victoria Harbour, and the Sky Pool is a must-visit – it's worth the entire room rate! Swimming while admiring Victoria Harbour is truly chill. Although the room is a bit old, the space is considered large for Hong Kong standards, and the bedding and hygiene are okay. The staff are all very friendly. There are many delicious and affordable restaurants within a two to three hundred-meter walk around the hotel. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Hong Kong.FromCAD 234

The service was great! We arrived early, and the front desk on the first floor immediately guided us to inquire if a room was available. We were very happy with the size and layout of the room. The location is also excellent, right across from Langham Place. The only downside is the lack of blackout curtains, only sheer ones! The morning light was incredibly glaring... definitely bring an eye mask!FromCAD 260

The hotel environment and room facilities were actually quite satisfying. However, when we first checked in and stored our luggage, there was only one staff member who seemed a bit impatient. The next day, the person who handled our luggage storage was much more pleasant. I had read reviews beforehand and knew this hotel didn't have a shower, so I specifically prepared disposable bathtub liners for soaking. Since I stayed in Macau the day before, I felt there was a difference in the service attitude of the staff between Hong Kong and Macau hotels. The staff at Grand Emperor Hotel in Macau were particularly warm and polite. Overall, for a hotel stay in Hong Kong, considering the room size, cleanliness of the facilities, and other aspects, the value for money is quite good and it's worth recommending!FromCAD 200

Whenever I visit Hong Kong, I always choose the Regal Hong Kong Hotel. Its location is uniquely excellent. The rooms and bathrooms have been renovated; the bathrooms now have filtered water taps, and all the power outlets in the rooms have been replaced with USB ports, which is very convenient. The front desk staff and concierge team provide excellent service, making me feel right at home. The PA staff are also very polite and greet guests proactively. Shopping, dining, and getting around are all incredibly convenient. The Mid-Autumn Festival lantern exhibition at Victoria Park directly opposite added a beautiful touch to this trip to Hong Kong. What also left a particularly deep impression were the hand soap, shower gel, and shampoo – all proprietary Regal Hotel products containing various plant extracts. The scent and feel were excellent.FromCAD 144

Spacious and Modern Rooms: In the notoriously compact Hong Kong, this hotel's rooms are frequently praised for being ”spacious,” ”new,” and ”clean.” Many guests mention being able to get out of bed from three sides and fully open their suitcases, ensuring a comfortable and unconfined stay.
Views and Soundproofing: Most rooms feature 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, offering excellent mountain or river views. The hotel also boasts excellent soundproofing; even during typhoons, guests report barely hearing any wind, guaranteeing a quiet and restful environment.
Comprehensive Facilities: Rooms typically come equipped with a mini-fridge, electric kettle, and coffee capsule machine. The hotel also provides a communal kitchen, a 24-hour study room, a gym, a heated swimming pool, and a self-service laundry room, catering to guests' various needs.FromCAD 137

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|1.89km from city centre
Great experience! The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to Jordan MTR station. I was surprised by the low ratings I saw previously, as I personally think it meets a 4-star standard. For this location, a price of around 400 is definitely worth it, and it's certainly better than a guesthouse. The room is a bit small, but it's very clean, and there's no old hotel smell like some mentioned. The air conditioning runs 24/7, which is very comfortable. I recommend a nearby place called ”Milk Ice Room”; the food is delicious and affordable (50 RMB per person is enough for a meal, and you get free milk tea with a main course). It's open from 7 AM to 9 PM, so you can eat there anytime.FromCAD 115

The bathroom facilities were terrible – insufficient water pressure, a broken faucet, and the bar's power outlet was faulty. The toilet seat was peeling, and the hairdryer was incredibly old-fashioned. The TV was awkwardly placed on the left side of the bed, which was very inconvenient. The room decor was outdated, and the towels had a strange odor. Most guests I saw were of Indian or Pakistani descent, making it feel like I was in Chungking Mansions.

I stayed for 7 nights in mid-September for the Principal's concert (the pictures are from when I checked out). It was a newly renovated king room on the 16th floor, clean and new (though unfortunately, the new carpet had already been stained by a previous guest). Housekeeping cleaned daily, and water and toothbrushes needed to be provided by myself, but everything else was there. The front desk service was normally very good. The location is convenient, right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, making it easy to find food and go shopping. It's about a 10 to 15-minute walk to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, Mira Place, Harbour City, K11, and more.FromCAD 156

Space is at a premium in Hong Kong, so hotel rooms are generally on the smaller side. I didn't have high expectations this time, but thanks to the front desk, we got a complimentary upgrade from the standard room. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is in a great location on Kimberley Road, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores right downstairs, and getting around was super easy.FromCAD 146

Excellent hotel, but the room was tiny. It said 15 square meters, but it felt smaller. We stayed on the 36th floor and booked a sea view room. And it truly had a sea view! Corner window! It was difficult to arrange our belongings in the room; there were no wardrobes, just hangers on hooks on the wall. The refrigerator wasn't mini, it was micro. 😉 The beds were decent. Towels were changed daily. We only managed to get to the rooftop pool once because it closed on October 1st. 🤷♀️FromCAD 94

The hotel's location is impeccable, right above the MTR station, with the Tsuen Wan Line just a minute's walk away, making it convenient to go anywhere. As for dining, there's no need to mention, all sorts of snacks, full meals, and trending restaurants are available within a few hundred meters. For shopping, K11 is right opposite, and Harbour City is just a few hundred meters' walk. The hotel facilities are decent, a bit simple, but it's the normal standard for a Holiday Inn. For Tsim Sha Tsui, where every inch of land is precious, the room size is quite good. The bedding is comfortable, and the toiletries are also acceptable. If I had to give some suggestions, the dispenser for the shower gel in the bathroom is a bit inconvenient to press. I'd recommend replacing the toilets with smart ones. Also, the variety and quality of the breakfast don't quite match the hotel's price.FromCAD 193

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay Hong Kong|4.45km from city centre
I chose The Empire Hotel Causeway Bay primarily for its location. It's incredibly convenient for shopping, dining, and the MTR, making it easy to get around even with luggage. The front desk service was decent; communication was smooth, and they even offered a free late check-out, which was a lifesaver for catching a late flight. Breakfast was standard fare – filling but nothing to write home about.
The hotel's drawbacks were also quite apparent – typical for Hong Kong hotels, the rooms are on the small side. With two people and suitcases, it felt a bit cramped. Waiting for elevators during peak hours could be a bit tedious. Most of the guests were mainland tourists, making it lively but not exactly quiet.FromCAD 141

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.13km from city centre
I stayed at this hotel over 10 years ago. Although it has been renovated, the service is noticeably worse than before. Here are a few points:
1. At 3 PM check-in, no rooms were available. We only got our room key at 4:30 PM.
2. Upon entering the room, we found a used band-aid from the previous guests still on the floor (which was quite unpleasant) and not cleaned up.
3. Loud music from a club downstairs went on until past midnight, making it impossible for us and our child to get any rest. Even though it was a weekend and there might have been events, it was simply unacceptable.
4. There's also something that made us very angry, and although it's not directly related to the hotel, I want to share it so future guests can be aware. The taxis outside the hotel – we might have encountered an extreme driver, not necessarily representative of most, but I'm just sharing my personal experience. We took a taxi from the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui to Sogo in Causeway Bay. Without informing us, the driver took a detour over the cross-harbor bridge. I only found this out later when the price seemed wrong. He didn't take the usual tunnel, and as a result, the fare was HKD 193. Taking the tunnel usually costs around HKD 65, which we had paid before. So, I want to remind future guests to be careful when taking taxis.
However, there was one thing we were satisfied with: the housekeeping staff on our floor had surprisingly good service. They always smiled, greeted us, and said hello.FromCAD 207

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|10.89km from city centre
⭐ Royal View Hotel Tsuen Wan — Beautiful Facilities & Great Beach, but Shockingly Poor Front‑Desk Service
My wife and I stayed at Royal View Hotel in Tsuen Wan, and the hotel itself is genuinely beautiful. The property is clean, well‑maintained, and located near a gorgeous beach, which adds a lot to the overall atmosphere. We also really enjoyed the pool and sauna, and the pool attendants were polite, friendly, and professional — a real highlight of our stay.
Unfortunately, the front‑desk service was consistently unpleasant, and it stood in stark contrast to the quality of the hotel’s facilities.
We arrived around 12 p.m. and were told check‑in wasn’t until after 3 p.m., which was completely fine. But without me saying anything, the woman at the desk responded with “those are the rules, too bad,” in a rude, dismissive tone. I hadn’t questioned the policy at all, so her attitude was genuinely surprising and uncalled for.
Later, when it was after 3 p.m., I went back to the front desk and asked, “Can I check in now?” A different woman looked at me with clear disdain and replied, “What?” in a harsh, unfriendly way. I repeated myself, and she continued to stare at me until another staff member stepped in and offered to help. The attitude from almost every person at the front desk was strangely hostile, as if guests were inconveniences rather than customers.
The same pattern continued when we asked about late check‑out. We were told, in another harsh tone, “There’s no late check‑out here. You need to leave before 12.” Again, the issue wasn’t the policy — it was the rude, unprofessional way it was delivered.
At one point, I asked a staff member if they had a razor available. The response was, “We don’t have razors, it’s Hong Kong law,” said in a very unpleasant manner. My 9‑year‑old son later told me that razors were available for purchase in the vending machine — something the staff member failed to mention. It would have taken only a few seconds to say, “You can buy one downstairs,” but instead I was met with unnecessary rudeness.
The contrast between this experience and our recent stay at Crown Hotel in Shenzhen, where the staff were warm, polite, and welcoming, was dramatic. At Royal View, the front‑desk staff behaved as if they were doing us a favor, and their attitude felt completely untrained and unprofessional.
It’s genuinely sad, because we loved the hotel itself — the facilities, the cleanliness, the pool, the sauna, and the beautiful beach nearby were all excellent. But the poor customer service at the front desk seriously affected our stay. With proper training and a more respectful approach to guests, this hotel could easily offer an outstanding experience.FromCAD 186

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|7.01km from city centre
I really think this place offers great value for money. It wasn't much more expensive than hotels near the Shenzhen border, and the room was much bigger than I expected and looked quite proper.
Before coming here, I had actually lowered my expectations, wondering what kind of hotel you could get for just over 300 (excluding tax) during the summer holiday. After all, the night before, I paid over 200 near the Shenzhen border for a room with a tiny window, no soundproofing, and even mold. So, I was genuinely surprised when I arrived! It's a standalone hotel building with a spacious lobby on the ground floor. The staff were also very friendly. I'm from a remote part of Chongqing and only speak Mandarin, not Cantonese, but I didn't feel discriminated against at all.
They have a free shuttle service, which I didn't know about at first. You can take the shuttle from Tsuen Wan MTR station (exit E) – the pickup point is next to Metroplaza on the opposite side. You don't need anything to board the shuttle to the hotel, but you do need to book in advance with the front desk for the return trip. One minor drawback is that check-in isn't until 3 PM, and check-out is at 11 AM the next day, which is different from mainland China, so you'll need to plan your time accordingly.FromCAD 112

I've stayed at Dorsett several times for business trips. Last time, there was an adapter in the room, but this time there wasn't. When I asked, I was told it didn't meet requirements, so adapters are no longer provided in the rooms. You need to bring your own now. I found a power bank nearby to rent for 8 HKD/hour, which is quite capitalistic, but it works in a pinch.
Everything else is pretty good; I've had good stays every time. The view is nice, and the breakfast is also good. Booking through Ctrip even got me a box of Jenny Bakery cookies. There's no toothbrush or toothpaste in the room, so you need to bring your own, but there are vending machines downstairs where you can buy them for 1 HKD each.FromCAD 138

There are also plenty of dining options nearby, and getting to Tsim Sha Tsui is convenient. Overall, it was good. However, there was a slight surprise during check-in. I used my Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau to check in, and the front desk attendant rattled off a lot of information in rapid Cantonese, which I completely didn't understand and was immediately lost. I had to ask her to repeat it in Mandarin. Fortunately, she accommodated my request and provided the room number and other relevant details in Mandarin.FromCAD 154

I was really pleased to get a weekday rate during the National Day holiday! This time, I noticed the lobby has changed. After dropping off my luggage around noon, I didn't get my room until nearly 4 PM (it was really busy, and I was on the 41st floor). They even upgraded me to a room on the 60th floor in the high-rise! I was so happy, but... the kids in the next room were incredibly active, still shouting and screaming at 11 PM. The soundproofing in the room is terrible; you can hear people walking by outside, and the opening and closing of the next-door room's door is so loud... it was awful! I barely slept all night, and the worst part is... for some reason, I felt like I was being bitten all night, and I was still itchy the next day 😭😷
Facilities: I have to complain about the sink – it drains very slowly. And the shower wasn't great either, constantly alternating between hot and cold water...FromCAD 159

Mong Kok Hong Kong|0.49km from city centre
Traveling from Xiamen to Hong Kong, it seems that due to environmental protection policies, hotels in Hong Kong no longer provide disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste. This hotel is conveniently located next to Prince Edward MTR Station, making transportation easy. There are also many shops nearby, which is great for shopping. The room was larger than expected; we, a family of three, chose a king-sized bed (1.8m), and the movable sofa could be used as a barrier next to it. Overall, it was quiet, but when actually sleeping, the air conditioner seemed a bit loud – something that could be improved. There were earplugs in the room, but I wasn't sure if they were complimentary since it wasn't specified, so I didn't use them. A universal adapter was provided. It would be even better if disposable slippers were offered for children. Check-in is after 3 PM; before that, you can only store your luggage. It would be nice if early check-in or a later check-out around 2 or 3 PM were possible. The hotel staff were very friendly and patient, and could communicate in Mandarin. Finally, I recommend a dim sum place near the hotel called 'Hot Spot Dim Sum' (热点点心); the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious.FromCAD 171

HongKong International Airport Hong Kong|24.16km from city centre
The only advantage is direct access to the airport; you don't have to worry about getting wet walking through the covered walkway to the terminal.
Other drawbacks include, but are not limited to:
1. The rooms need urgent renovation. Not only is the decor outdated, but there's a strong musty smell as soon as you enter.
2. The hotel corridors are dimly lit like a maze; if you've seen the movie 'The Shining,' you'll understand what I mean.
3. There are so few power outlets, and only British-style large plugs plus old USB ports. For a place like Hong Kong International Airport, which welcomes travelers from all over the world, this is even worse than a Hanting Hotel.
Anyway, as the only hotel with direct access to Hong Kong International Airport terminal, the Regal Hotel offers unparalleled convenience. Their attitude is basically 'take it or leave it.' For those arriving late on a connecting flight or needing to catch an early flight, it's an acceptable place to crash for a night.FromCAD 128

North Point and Quarry Bay Hong Kong|4.26km from city centre
I stayed one night in a Superior Double Room and was very happy with it. The room was clean and well kept, the bed was comfortable, and the bay window with its seating nook had a beautiful view over the city and Victoria Harbour, especially on a clear day. A small kitchenette with a sink, plus a kettle with tea and coffee, was a nice bonus. The bathroom was clean, with good water pressure and toiletries provided. Overall, good value, and I'd happily stay here again.FromCAD 109

The Harbour Plaza Resort City offers excellent value for money. It's rare to find such spacious rooms in Hong Kong. The rooms are clean and tidy, and from the high floors, you get an expansive park view. The quiet environment ensures a very comfortable sleep. It's close to the Light Rail station and connected to a shopping mall downstairs, making dining and shopping very convenient. There's also an outdoor swimming pool and a gym, so the recreational facilities are comprehensive. The front desk staff are polite. Overall, it's suitable for families or travelers looking to avoid high-priced city accommodation. A very satisfying experience, highly recommended. (Trip.com)FromCAD 101

North Point and Quarry Bay Hong Kong|4.26km from city centre
The room was clean. Although it was listed as 15 sq meters, the design was clever, making good use of the space and mirrors. The window couldn't be opened but it was large and offered a partial sea view. My husband and I were very satisfied ☺️. The hotel included bread and unlimited coffee, which is excellent in Hong Kong and saved us money on breakfast. Highly recommend!
It's not far from the MTR station, just a few minutes' walk, and there's a tram stop right downstairs – the experience was fantastic! Oh, and the front desk staff could communicate entirely in Mandarin, which was great! We arrived early and were able to check in ahead of time 😏.
You need to bring your own power adapter – don't forget that! The Wi-Fi speed was very fast!

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|7.43km from city centre
I stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights because I heard it had good access to Hong Kong Disneyland.
There wasn't much difference in price between a taxi and the train from the airport to the hotel, so I took a taxi. The room was simple, and the amenities were truly minimal (just a toothbrush and slippers), but since I only needed a place to sleep, I was satisfied. The slippers were quite thin and flimsy, so I recommend bringing your own if that bothers you.
I also stayed at the end of August, but the room was quite cold; it was chilly even with the air conditioning off, so I suggest bringing a jacket or cardigan. There were two rolls of toilet paper, but once one ran out, it wasn't replaced. Hand towels and bath towels were replenished daily.
I could hear some noise from the adjacent room, but there are a lot of international guests, so I guess that's to be expected given the clientele. The building where the hotel is located has a supermarket and many Japanese restaurants, so you won't have trouble finding food.
I only noticed it later, so I couldn't use it, but there was information in the room drawer about discounts available at Aeon (apparently, you just need to show your room key). The access to Disneyland was good, and for about 10,000 yen per day for two people, I was satisfied with the price as well.FromCAD 127

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.55km from city centre
As a hotel that opened several years ago, the facilities are a bit dated. The room rate was artificially high during the National Day holiday; a HKD 3,000 room here is comparable to one costing around MOP 1,000 in Macau, so the value for money isn't great. The mirror in the bathroom was peeling a bit, and the air conditioning in the room was quite noisy. However, the service at the reception desk was very good. It's still quite worth staying at, except during holidays.FromCAD 367
