They have conference rooms, private office spaces, lounge areas, and an outdoor space for events. You can either pay per day or pay a membership fee to use it on a regular basis. You can work there, hold meetings, or network with other members. In fact, they encourage networking between their members from all branches, including the Wan Chai branch, but also their international branches like Singapore and Bangkok. They have an in-house cafe where they sell coffee, tea, beer, soda, and cake slices. They host regular events like movie nights or tastings which you can check out on their website. Non-members are also able to rent their spaces for their events. The one thing to keep in mind is there is virtually no parking on site. They have like 3 parking spaces in front of their building, which are always taken up. There is currently parking across the street on the construction site, which will go away soon. I suggest you transport here or walk.

They have an open area where you can share tables with other people. If you need to be alone or are a group, they also have conference rooms. There is also an outdoor terrace with tables and lounge chairs. Perfect place to take a break before you go back to work. The number one reason why I love Garage Society is because of its location. When I was in HK, I stayed at Ovolo Noho hotel. Guess what? It's right across the street! For lunch break, you have sooo many tasty restaurants to choose from. I recommend La Rotisserie for the French roast chicken lunch set. :) Need a caffeine fix? They offer complimentary drinks in the fridge plus tea and coffee. Also, after a long day at "the office", everyone deserves a glass of beer. Yes, Garage Society includes free beer on tap. Amazing! :D The Garage Society gives off a friendly atmosphere and is a good place to meet people. Oh, before I forget, you can't eat your hot meals in the space. So, have your lunch break at a restaurant nearby. :)

Loved the branding with inspirational quotes like "It's not all about the money" on the walls. There are shared spaces which look like they're quiet zones, along with a conference room and a few private offices.

Ah, Mirador Mansion. Sister to Chungking nearby that resembles the shadiness of Kowloon Walled City…read moremixed with the fairly average guest house services of motels. Why on Earth would anyone choose to stay here for their vacation in HK? Simply put, it is going to be the cheapest accommodations you're going to find here in the SAR. Be warned that not everyone can tolerate the conditions of the mansions. These 18-floor complexes are littered with various guest houses with bizarre names and rooms that may or may not have windows and a bathroom with a built in shower/toilet all-in-one. Did I immediately turn you off? Hope not because there is still a lot of value in staying in MM. We stayed at Wellyet Guest House in a small room with a hard Chinese-style double bed, a thin comforter, and a tiny bathroom. The receptionists were all very kind and made sure that we had everything we need even though it was cramped. This one also utilized electronic door locks for the rooms which is easier to carry around than a physical key. It's small, but decent for a few nights stay. With that said, it's absolutely an experience to stay at the mansions at least once. Mirador is arguably the better of the two since it doesn't get as much traffic, but you'll find that the guest houses will do what they can to make your stay comfortable. This one has less touts on the first floor but that also means less money exchangers, so head to your neighbors location for all your money needs. There are also multiple tiny lifts you can use around the building that I'm not entirely sure are recertified to run, but it's a risk we'll all have to take. Additionally, being able to stay in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui allows you access to the best skyline in the world plus some great dining/shopping options that are a quick MTR ride away.

Mirador Mansion is similar in style to the Chungking Mansions. It's a building (technically several…read morebuildings connected together) that houses a variety of business from shops, hotels/guesthouses, and residential. I stayed at a guesthouse here, so I'll leave the review of the guesthouse for that specific Yelp page. The building itself, lets be honest, doesn't look that great from the outside or the inside. That's not to say I felt unsafe or that it was horrible, but if you're expecting a 5 star high-end shopping experience this isn't it. There are plenty of Prada and Louis Vuitton Stores for that. There are several stores on the main floor, most being souvenir shops, currency exchange shops, and tailor shops. I believe there is a bakery or two as well. For people staying in a guesthouse/hotel in Mirador Mansion this is a nice touch. For anyone else it's probably not worth coming into these stores, unless you really need currency exchange or souvenirs (but those are everywhere in Kowloon). If you are like me, and do not look at all like a local (a.k.a you are not Asian and most definitely a foreigner) you will likely be approached by touts offering good deals on tailor suits or dresses, or deals on "designer handbags" and "rolexes." I hope it goes without saying that the designer bags and rolexes will not be real, they're fake, and you should think twice before buying fake goods. There are plenty of high end designer stores in Hong Kong if that's what you're looking for. The custom made clothes might be legit (there are a lot of tailor shops in Hong Kong and Kowloon), but that's not something I was interested. If you feel the same way just say "no thanks" and move on. While being approached by the touts (all over Kowloon, not just at Mirador Mansion) was annoying I (a 31 year-old woman traveling alone) didn't feel unsafe or uncomfortable at any point. This building is close to a lot of other shopping and dining as well, so there's no worry with that. There is also a Tsim Sha Shui MTR station entrance located right beside the building. The MTR will pretty much get you to any major tourist attraction in Hong Kong. It's also just a 10 minute walk to the harbour where you can take the Star Ferry to Hong Kong Island (Mirador Mansion is on the Kowloon side). The elevators, it should be noted, vary to what floor they go to. There are elevators for even floors, and elevators for odd floors so be sure to get on the right elevator. The elevators are not big, and have a weight capacity, so if it is too full the elevator will not move until someone gets out. Sometimes there was a small line up (6 to 10 people), but I never had to wait more than a couple of minutes. In comparison I wandered through the Chungking Mansions and saw a 30 person lineup. Chungking was also a lot busier than Mirador, which made me appreciate my stay at Mirador Mansion more. If you're a budget traveler and looking for a place to stay then do some research on Mirador Mansion (not every hotel/guesthouse here is the same quality), because you might find some place to stay. While it's not a lovely building to look at, it's conveniently located, and has several amenities.

Why a review on Lippo Centre? Just because it's one of my favorite buildings in Hong Kong!…read more On my first time in the city, the cab drove by Queensway and I saw it from the distance: what a cool weird building...oh wait, there are two towers...even cooler! So I did a quick search in the Internet to find out a little more about its architecture style and history. Lippo Centre was built in 1987 and it comprises two office towers. At first sight the towers seem identical but they are not: Tower II is around 14 higher (4 more floors). Its designer, Paul Rudolph didn't like symmetries and he not only designed two different 'twin' towers, but he gave them a distinctive shape that stands out in the Hong Kong skyline. Some people say you can see koalas hugging the towers but this is not the official version, so I'll leave it up to your imagination. Some interesting facts: the initial project envisaged a footbridge between the towers, but one of the owners disagreed with this idea because it reminded him of old warehouses in Indonesia; Rudolph did adapt the design to the city's aesthetic by covering it in shiny dark blue glass (he usually avoided shiny materials in his other projects). This is also one of the reasons why Lippo stands out from the rest of the buildings: in spite of being smaller than most of its neighbors, Lippo's color is unique. Although its location is fantastic, access to the building can get a little tricky in the maze of shopping malls and busy roads. I had to learn this, as now I have a fantastic view from the 20th floor every day from 9 to 5!

For startups, entrepreneurs, forward thinking professionals, and networkers alike, the Garage…read moreSociety is one of Hong Kong's biggest gems in the shared office space community. They provide a unique combination of services to help get the ball rolling for entrepreneurs from all walks of life and are especially useful for folks who are looking to get connected in a progressive community of folks who are the heartbeat of Hong Kong's slowly growing small business tech industry. This location in Central is conveniently located near the Central MTR station and is their flagship office spot where they operate from 8-8pm from Monday-Friday. The price ranges from $3600 HKD (part time) to as much as $10000+ for a private office space. The essentials are all included: WiFi, office support, and even a postbox / address location for company mailings. For an added perk, there is soda and free flowing beer on tap. Everybody wins. The thing I appreciate most of all is the community of "Garagers." There are some really awesome people running their companies through the spaces provided by GS and even more awesome folks who are working hard to keep the community engaged through various events and networking opportunities. Highly recommended for all business minded folks who are looking to get connected in more ways than one. Come here for the amenities and leave with quality interactions.

The hotel is centrally…read morelocated in TST in Kowloon next to tons of bars and restaurants that opens til very late at night so it's not exactly the most quiet neighborhood. The local is very convenient to subway and entertainment since it's right in the middle of everything. The decor is very minimalist modern. They try to give you the sense of a hipster modern boutique hotel which was a bit too minimalist for me since the rooms literally consist of a bed, bar table and small restroom with see through glass doors giving you no privacy even when you go to the bathroom. Okay for single traveler but if you have more than one person, you can be looking at someone sitting on the toilet. Not exactly the greatest view. The elevators are a bit nightmarish since it's shared with bars and restaurants from floors 1-5 which is open to general public. The lobby is on the 10th floor and rooms 10-15. It could take me 5 min just waiting for the elevators to come. The staff is helpful but way understaffed. When I was checking in there were just a couple of people in line for registration. But when I went down to ask some questions about the electric outlet adaptor (already provided hidden underneath a door on the bar), there were about 5 parties ahead of me at around 1pm. Took me 10 minutes in line to ask a simple question. They have around the clock security personnel at the ground level entrance and it does require your room key to access the floor for your room so I think security is decent.
