the Figo

This was a great little boutique hotel in a quiet area of Hong Kong. The location was fantastic, and you feel that you are in an area of Hong Kong which is not too touristy. It was a short walk to Sheung Wan station, which made getting around very easy. Additionally, if you are into food, it was surrounded by all manner of eating places. From restaurants serving contemporary Asian cuisine, to tiny hole in the wall places specialising in traditional Cantonese foods (roast meats, wonton noodle soup etc). The Sheung Wan Cooked Food Market was a short walk away, as was one of the best authentic Yum Cha restaurants in Hong Kong. Good Coffee and egg tarts, were a 2 minute walk away. The hotel staff were very welcoming, and the hotel was extremely quiet, and comfortable. Amenities were great, with a coffee machine in each room, and a complimentary "happy hour" every afternoon from 5.30pm in the spacious lounge area. This was the first time I had stayed at the Figo, however for my daughters it was a return visit, and we will definitely stay here on future visits to Hong Kong. Highly recommend!

The Figo was exactly what we needed for our week in Hong Kong—affordable, good location, and clean. It is easy to walk to the metro or many downtown spots from here. The suite we booked was a good size and allowed us to spread out a bit. It is not fancy, but we did not plan on spending much time in our hotel. We would stay here again.

We’ve been traveling for 2 months and this is the best hotel we’ve stayed at. There are so many things we loved about the property: 1) free beer, sparking water, juices, coffee, tea, and snacks. Yes, really. 2) Happy hour everyday, 3) Excellent location 4) Very clean, 5) Knowledgeable and friendly staff, 6) outdoor deck with seating area, 7) nice indoor area to hang out, and 8) a filtered water machine on our floor with cold and hot water. We stayed in a suite and it was worth the money, a good value actually. The bed was super comfortable with soft bedding and pillows. The two rooms had a lot of natural light. We were happy to have (and used everyday) a small refrigerator, hot water kettle, closet with hangers, and soft towels that were changed daily. The person who designed the suite was clearly a traveler. That person has thought of everything a traveler needs. You should stop looking and book this outstanding hotel now. We highly recommend it!

Rooms were very spacious and included fine details that were thoroughly appreciated (nowhere else did I find a shower cap pack that includes an elastic)! Also loved the breakfast/hang out area with balcony and 24/7 free tea, coffee, water, soda, juice and even beer as well as snacks. Air conditioning was perfect - another important factor, especially considering the humid weather.

Ideal location as friends lived nearby (so can’t comment on location to tourist sites). Very close to lots of cafes, restaurants and bars. Friendly staff and easy check in. Minimalist room but had all the basics needed. Didn’t check use or look at facilities but had a generous common area to gather by reception.
