🏨 How to Get to Silka Seaview Hotel Yau Ma Tei – Location, MTR Guide & Travel Tips

🏨 Staying at Silka Seaview Hotel, Yau Ma Tei: My Experience & How to Get There

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, clean, and conveniently located hotel in Hong Kong, Silka Seaview Hotel in Yau Ma Tei is a solid pick. During our trip, we stayed here mainly because it was just a short walk to the Jade Market and Temple Street Night Market—which, if you're into cultural finds and bargain-hunting, are must-visits!

But while the location is great, getting there with luggage was a bit of a challenge—here’s a detailed guide based on my personal experience, plus some tips to make it easier for you.

✈️ From Hong Kong International Airport to Silka Seaview Hotel

1. Clear immigration and customs, then head to the Airport Express train.
2. Take the Airport Express and get off at Tsing Yi Station.
3. Transfer to the Tung Chung Line (platform 4) toward Hong Kong, and get off at Lai King Station.
4. At Lai King, change to the Tsuen Wan Line (platform 2) toward Central and alight at Yau Ma Tei Station.
5. From Yau Ma Tei Station, take Exit C and walk up to Nathan Road.

⚠️ Note: Yau Ma Tei Station doesn’t have elevators or escalators. Expect to carry your luggage up two long flights of stairs. It was exhausting with a heavy suitcase—but doable!

🛌 My Personal Take on the Hotel

✔️ Clean and comfy beds
✔️ Decent space for a Hong Kong budget hotel
✔️ Fast Wi-Fi (important for blogging and uploads!)
✔️ Superb location for night markets and local eats
⚠️ Cons: Rooms are small (standard for HK), and the lobby can get busy during check-in/out time.

🌃 What I loved most? Walking back to the hotel at night, passing street food stalls and trinket vendors under neon lights—it felt like I was walking through a Hong Kong movie scene.
