This is the equivalent table of a survey of the hotel costs but for the hotels on the mainland. Please take a look at our survey of Hidden Hotel Costs in Hong Kong Island.

As with the Island Hotel review our hat has to go off to the Shangri-La Kowloon who offer local telephone calls free of charge in every room, just as it's sister property the Island Shangri-la does. The only other hotel to join this respected move is the infamous Peninsula Hotel. Thankfully for the Grand Hyatt they have not won out right the highest charge for telephone calls, as they have been joined by the Royal Garden Hotel who also charges HK$ 7 per call.

We will be updating it from time to time to ensure it remains as accurate as possible. The '+' indicates there is 10% service charge to be added, and 'ut' stands for per call.

Please be sure to read our summary below the table.

This interesting look at the traditionally hidden prices of the Hotels in Hong Kong shows that prices for local telephone calls vary from hotel to hotel between free of charge to HK$ 7 per call. The Grand Hyatt and the Royal Garden are the two most expensive hotels in Hong Kong charging HK$ 7 per call. Only the Shangri-La (both Kowloon and the Island properties) and the Peninsula Hotel offer guests free of charge local calls in every room. The price of a club sandwich varies between a staggering HK$ 150 + at the InterContinental Hong Kong all the way down to HK$ 46 at the Island Pacific Hotel, of course hotels will say that the ingredients and so the cost varies, yet there are still quite staggering differences between the five star hotel prices where this is concerned. As for the laundry, prices are quite regular with the highest for a mans shirt being at the Kimberley Hotel on the mainland with a price of HK$ 80 + and the lowest at the Century Harbour Hotel which only charges HK$ 37 +.
