After a travel day no matter if it’s short or in our case a 15-hour direct flight from Chicago to Hong Kong, you just want to get to the hotel!
Hotel Jen Hong Kong couldn’t have been any easier to get to, by the time we knew it we had beat jet lag and we’re out exploring all the things to do in Hong Kong. Getting to the hotel easily is just one of the many reasons why to book Hotel Jen Hong Kong.
Reasons Why To Book Hotel Jen Hong Kong
Easy access from Hong Kong International Airport
We’ve made it to Hotel Jen Hong Kong!
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.
*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. If you are arriving/leaving outside of scheduled shuttle hours, taxis in Hong Kong are super reasonable and 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.

Free FAST Wifi
Nowadays, Wi-Fi is a must, and no one likes having to use it in a hotel lobby for a limited amount of time. No need to worry: at Hotel Jen Hong Kong, the Wi-Fi is free, fast, and in your room! We were able to upload/backup/stream and do everything we wanted to do without any hassle.
