Hong Kong Subway (MTR) Guide: Maps, Fares & Tips

Author's Profile Picture
Hong Kong Subway

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 Subway (MTR): East Tsim Sha Tsui Station, Tsim Sha Tsui Station

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.

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.

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

Top Hong Kong Subway-Accessible Tourist Attractions By Area

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.

Practical Tips for Riding the Hong Kong Subway (MTR)

Hong Kong Subway (MTR) travel tips

These Canada-focused tips help you avoid common mistakes and enjoy smooth MTR rides:

  • No language barrier: Full English support on all signs, announcements and machines.
  • Etiquette: Queue orderly, let passengers exit first, keep noise low, and offer seats to vulnerable travellers.
  • Accessibility: Major stations have free Wi-Fi, elevators, washrooms and tourist counters.
  • Avoid crowds: Skip weekday rush hours (8–9 a.m., 6–7 p.m.) for more comfortable rides.
  • Octopus refund: Deposit and balance are refundable; a small HK$9 fee applies for use under 90 days.
  • Airport hack: Use Airport Express in-town check-in to drop luggage downtown before flying.

The service and attitude were excellent. The doorman was very responsible, helping with luggage as soon as we arrived. The concierge service was spot-on; water was brought up very quickly whenever we needed it. They even sent a cake for a birthday! The two corner rooms were very spacious, and the other room had a great view. This was a wonderful surprise during our Hong Kong trip, much respect!

I came from the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, took the Tsuen Wan Line to Tsim Sha Tsui, and then followed the signs in the MTR underground all the way to the hotel. I paid extra to upgrade to a Sky Seaview room and even received complimentary butterfly pastries. The front desk staff were all very friendly and polite. What's more, the hotel is only a ten-minute walk from Victoria Harbour. I personally think it offers excellent value for money.

The service was excellent. The day before check-in, I called the hotel to mention I was traveling with elderly family members, and they proactively provided anti-slip mats. Fresh disposable slippers and toothbrushes were provided daily, and the slippers were very thick and sturdy. It's also very convenient for dining and sightseeing. This is a hotel worth staying at again.

Mong Kok Hong Kong|0.73km from city centre
★★★★☆ Great Location & Spacious Rooms, but Some Amenities Need an Upgrade The location is definitely the biggest strength of Royal Plaza Hotel Hong Kong. I would give it 5 stars for convenience—it is directly connected to MOKO, which makes it extremely convenient for last-minute shopping, dining and picking up anything you may need. It is also just a short walk from Mong Kok East MTR Station, making it easy to get around Hong Kong. The room was surprisingly spacious by Hong Kong standards, which was a definite plus for our family. I had accidentally selected the wrong room type when making the booking, but the hotel staff were prompt and helpful when I requested to change from the upgraded King Bed room to a room with two double beds. As the family rooms were already fully booked, they arranged a handicap-accessible room for us instead. It was actually more spacious, so while it wasn't the room type I had originally intended to book, we appreciated the effort to accommodate our needs. That said, some of the in-room amenities could use an upgrade. In particular, the hairdryer really needs replacing. It became extremely hot very quickly and was uncomfortable to use—I was concerned it might damage or burn my hair. Overall, I found the hotel comfortable, convenient and well located, with good service and generous room space for Hong Kong. However, having stayed five nights at Intercity Hotel Shenzhen immediately before this, I found Royal Plaza to be a step down in terms of the overall room experience and amenities. This is not to say that Royal Plaza is a poor choice—it is still a solid option, particularly if location, shopping convenience and room size are your priorities. Best for: Families, shoppers and travellers who value convenience and easy MTR access.

I stayed for three nights. On the first day, my flight was delayed by 4 hours, and I arrived at 4 AM. The front desk staff was on duty and processed my check-in quickly. The room had a direct drinking water tap, which was a nice touch. The room was also relatively spacious, and the windowsill had a soft padded cushion where you could sit or lie down. The bedding was a down comforter. Controls for lighting, air conditioning, and curtains were all push-button style, located on the bedside table, which was convenient. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Causeway Bay MTR Station Exit F1, very close to SOGO, and there are many dining options nearby. The hotel's Regal Palace restaurant is also outstanding.

Honestly, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. The room had a damp smell, which was bearable, but the slippers were as thin as A4 paper. The only positive was the good water pressure. There was practically no service to speak of. I guess since Hong Kong is a tourist hotspot, they'll always have an endless stream of visitors no matter what. But I definitely won't choose this place again unless I absolutely have to.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! It's within walking distance of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, and very close to Harbour City, Avenue of Stars, and Victoria Harbour. There are tons of cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) and convenience stores nearby, making dining and shopping super convenient. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The WiFi was stable, and for Hong Kong, the room size was surprisingly good. Check-in and check-out at the front desk were efficient, and the staff were polite and attentive. Despite being in a bustling area, it was surprisingly quiet, with good soundproofing. This is definitely my top choice for future trips to Hong Kong, and it offers great value for money!

The room was more spacious than I expected, and the hygiene details were well-maintained. The bedding was fresh and comfortable. The most stunning feature was the high-floor sea view, offering panoramic views of Victoria Harbour both day and night. The front desk service was warm and efficient. For Hong Kong standards, the room was quite spacious, and the toiletries were of good quality. The mattress had just the right firmness, ensuring I slept very well both nights. There's also a 7-Eleven and a local tea restaurant right downstairs.

First of all, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to Katie, the front desk colleague, for her professionalism and attentiveness to guests. Without me even mentioning that this stay was to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, Katie noticed it during check-in and arranged for a birthday cake to be delivered to our room at 12 o'clock, creating a wonderful surprise. However, the cleanliness of the room was truly appalling. We found a cockroach in the first room we were assigned, and after moving to a suite, we discovered a pile of trash behind the sofa! Fortunately, Katie's professional and thoughtful surprise made me very satisfied with this stay. I sincerely hope that the room's cleanliness will be significantly improved, so as not to waste the professionalism and hard work of the front desk staff!

Due to a typhoon, my child was stranded in Hong Kong while transiting from the US to Shanghai. We booked a room at The Mira Hong Kong for him on short notice. We had stayed there before during a previous trip to Hong Kong and were impressed with the overall management, environment, and convenient location. That's why we booked it again for him, even though he was traveling alone. Because of the flight schedule, he arrived at the hotel around 9:00 AM. He asked the front desk if a room could be arranged, and they were incredibly accommodating, immediately providing him with a room. This act alone deserves high praise. As everyone knows, Hong Kong hotels typically have a 2:00 PM check-in time, but due to the special circumstances, the front desk staff made an exception for him, giving him a room early so he could shower and rest. This humane management made a guest feel warm and cared for, even when far from home.

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|10.89km from city centre
I took the A38 bus directly from the airport to the hotel, which took about an hour. The A38 route has infrequent buses, only one an hour, so I recommend checking the map beforehand to avoid waiting aimlessly. The bus announced the hotel stop, but after getting off, you still have to walk a bit. The hotel is opposite the bus stop. Hong Kong's roads are quite peculiar, with no sidewalks, but fortunately, there aren't many cars. Since the hotel is by the sea, there's a chance of getting a sea view room. The hotel seems a bit old; the carpet was indeed a bit dirty, but other facilities in the room were fine. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to Tsuen Wan (downtown), apparently every fifteen minutes. From Tsuen Wan, you can take the MTR to other places, which is quite convenient [Clap]. A taxi from the hotel to the airport costs around 250-300 HKD, just for your reference. Overall, it's good value for money. It's a great choice for a layover if you're only staying one night. P.S. My room was upgraded for free!

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|7.01km from city centre
The transportation is inconvenient. The hotel's earliest shuttle bus is at 7:30 AM, which isn't that early. It leaves promptly, and for mainland tourists who don't understand Cantonese, the service in Hong Kong can be impatient. They just blurt everything out in Cantonese, and you can't understand or react in time. Later, I learned my lesson. Without them even prompting me, I'd just stand by the door and hop on any bus I saw. The first time, the bus left right in front of me, and I had to take a taxi, which made me very angry. Getting an invoice at the end was also a hassle. Initially, they told me I could get one, but when I was leaving, they refused. They told me to contact the Ctrip platform, but I had already paid the full amount in cash upon check-in, so the platform definitely wouldn't issue it. We argued for quite a while before they finally gave it to me, wasting my morning. This hotel's transportation is extremely inconvenient. I wouldn't recommend it for individual travelers unless you're driving yourself or part of a tour group.

I used to stay at a hotel near Mong Kok Station when I was in town for business. This time, I saw a promotional rate for this hotel and decided to give it a try for 5 nights. Although the hotel is a bit old, it's well-maintained and quite clean. The faucet in the room is a bit too close to the sink, making handwashing a little inconvenient. I'd suggest providing hand soap in the rooms. The restaurant, while not having a huge variety, does make small changes to the menu daily. There's an older chef who often comes out to check empty trays and replenishes food promptly, which is very professional. The front desk staff are friendly and resolve issues quickly. It's close to Olympic Station and the hotel also offers a shuttle, making transportation quite convenient. There are plenty of dining options nearby. I'd definitely stay here again.

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|1.85km from city centre
We stayed at BP International for two nights in the family room as a family, and overall our stay was very pleasant, mainly thanks to its fantastic location. This hotel has an unbeatable spot for travellers visiting Hong Kong. It is easily accessible from West Kowloon Station, which made our arrival and departure stress-free. We did not need to take long taxi rides or navigate complicated public transport after getting off the high-speed rail. The neighbourhood around the hotel is full of tourist attractions and plenty of dining options. There are countless restaurants, cafes and local eateries just a short walk away, so we never struggled to find meals at any time of day. Conveniently, Jollibee is only two blocks from the hotel entrance, which was a great quick meal option for our family after long days sightseeing. It was wonderful to step outside and immediately have access to food and shops, saving us lots of travel time. While the location was excellent, we did notice a few drawbacks with the room. As expected for Hong Kong accommodation, the family room felt a little small. There was limited floor space once our luggage was unpacked, and moving around was a bit tight. The bunk bed was also not as practical as we hoped. Climbing up and down the double-deck bed was awkward, especially for the older family members in our group. It saved space, but convenience was compromised. On the bright side, the cleanliness, service and location all deserve full marks. The room was immaculately cleaned every day, and the hotel staff were polite, helpful and responsive whenever we needed assistance. The amenities were solid overall, though there is room for minor improvements. For families prioritising convenience and location, BP International is a great pick. If you are okay with a compact room and a less convenient bunk bed, this hotel offers amazing access to West Kowloon and all the nearby sights and restaurants. We would consider staying here again for our next Hong Kong trip, purely for how easy it made our holiday.

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.

Pros: During the peak summer season, the price is quite good value for money, and they offer family triple rooms. If you want to experience authentic Hong Kong local life, you can book this hotel. There are also many local eateries nearby. The room space is quite large, and there's a sink right by the entrance, which is convenient for washing things. The bay window provides good natural light. In terms of transportation, both buses and the MTR are conveniently located within 500 meters, making it quick to get to the Yau Tsim Mong area. There are also tram terminals and the Chun Yeung Street tram stop nearby. Food deliveries are left directly on the counter at the hotel lobby's group reception. Staff will ask for verification when you pick up your order, so they do a good job with security. Cons: There are many seafood shops around the hotel, so it's inevitable that the hotel lobby, both inside and out, smells of seafood. However, the smell disappears once you go upstairs. The bathroom is quite small, making showering a bit cramped. The room does not provide drinking water or toiletries like toothbrushes (I looked it up, and Hong Kong has a plastic restriction policy). The tissues are also just toilet rolls.

It's super convenient for transport; I can just hop off the MTR with my luggage and it's a short walk, no need to figure out new routes. Downstairs, there are all sorts of delicious eats, from dim sum for breakfast to late-night snacks, so after a long day of exploring, I can just pop down for a bite. The supermarket next door is handy for grabbing water and fruit, and I can even catch a movie at the cinema in the evenings to relax. My multiple stays here have always been consistently great, it feels as comfortable as coming back to a familiar old haunt. 🏙️

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay Hong Kong|4.35km from city centre
The hotel is located not far from the MTR subway and walking distance to many bus stops. The room is quite spacious and clean. It is a bit humid, but this is normal in HK. The service is good, the reception is 24hr and they are always ready to help. I enjoyed the breakfast, which has a good selection of products, although not extensive. In my personal experience it has perfect quality/position/price ratio.

North Point and Quarry Bay Hong Kong|4.26km from city centre
The room is 12 square meters with a 1.5-meter wide queen bed, so the two single beds feel a bit small. The hotel's location is excellent and easy to find, within a 5-minute walk from Fortress Hill MTR station, with plenty of dining options nearby. The front desk service is very attentive and offers luggage storage. There's also a free simple breakfast daily, including bread, juice, or coffee.

Tsuen Wan Hong Kong|7.43km from city centre
The bathroom cleaning was terrible. There were so many hairs left behind. First, I found some hair on the toilet lid, which I thought was a one-off. But then I found more hair in the bathtub, two hairs on the neatly folded bath towel, and even more unbelievably, a lot of hair hanging on the unused showerhead. What kind of cleaning method spreads hair everywhere like that? It was disgusting to think about. I had to scrub it clean myself before I could even bring myself to use the shower.

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.55km from city centre
Very convenient location, the hotel is right next to Harbour City, with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. The Michelin three-star restaurant, T'ang Court, is on the second floor. The facilities are a bit old but still clean. Transportation is also quite convenient, with Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station nearby. If you want to avoid the sun, you can take the underground pass to Avenue of Stars, K11, and many other places.
