For most people, one of the worries of traveling to a different country is the idea of leaving the comforts of home. But with CHI 314 Residences, that concern disappears the moment you step through the door.
My friend and I stayed at CHI 314 for two nights after discovering it at Hotels.com for roughly Php 6,000 a night. Although it may seem a bit pricey for the usual tourist standard, I can guarantee you actually get your money’s worth.
The Location
Located along Nathan Road, CHI 314 makes you feel right at home at the heart of Kowloon’s busiest and most energetic districts. Its location makes it the prime spot to visit all the fun entertainment and leisure destinations in the area. Rows of restaurants and shops to satisfy both your craving for food and shopping are just a short walking distance away.
It’s also the perfect jump off point to explore the rest of Kowloon, with the MTR Jordan Station just a two-minute walk from the residence. Tsim Sha Tsui, one of Hong Kong’s tourist hotspots, is conveniently located five minutes away. Meanwhile, the Temple Street night market, which also an instagrammable Hong Kong destination in the Yau Ma Tei district, is just a ten-minute walk. A nearby bus stop will help you get to areas that are too far to walk to.

The Apartment
If the location alone doesn’t tempt you, I’m sure the actual apartment will. With its exquisite architecture and super sleek design, CHI 314 will make it hard for you to actually leave the apartment. Unlike a hotel room which can feel very constricting and small, CHI 314 is very spacious and homey – it features one bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom, and they all look stylish and modern.

The bed was comfort at its finest – the pillows had just the perfect amount of fluffiness, and the sheets were nice and warm. I have to say though that their bathroom might just be my favorite room. It was huge and pristine, and premium toiletries were provided. My friend summed it up perfectly when she said it was “the best bath ever”.

Personally, I liked that the apartment had a kitchen where we were able to cook our own food. The coffeemaker, which offers a free round of different flavored gourmet coffee, was also a favorite.

There are also perks that come with the apartment: fast-speed WiFi to keep you up to date with social media, free smartphone rental that is a perfect navigation tool, a reusable shopping bag to take with you on your shopping expeditions and a trusty umbrella just in case the weather calls for it.
The Important Details
You need not worry about security during your stay at CHI. Every person needs to have a key to enter the building and a keycard to take the elevator which will then take you to your floor and only your floor.
For your information, the residence elevator only goes down to the second floor so guests need to take a flight of stairs to access it. There is also a HKD 1,000 deposit to cover any damage or loss that might occur, but don’t worry, this will be refunded to you upon check out.
Overall, if you want an easy access to Kowloon’s top destinations for a day of adventure and an utterly sophisticated yet comfy apartment for a night of pure relaxation, CHI Residences 314 is the perfect place to stay. Once you make yourself at home there, you’ll never want to leave.

A classy, clean, cozy and beautiful place to stay on this place. The amenities are wonderfully offered together with the rent. Nice place indeed!
Yep, great value really! 🙂 Thanks for the visit Fernando!
Will take note of this for a future HK trip. We used a service apartment when we were in Shanghai and the kids were still very young. It was a big convenience for us. – Fred
Awesome, let me know how it goes for you! 🙂
Luckily, tourists have easy access to the famous spots around Kowloon. This apartment will be the main point for travellers and have excellent perks to their customers.
That’s very true! It’s centrally located accommodations like this that i enjoy so much! Proximity at its best!
It does look clean and cozy, but yup a bit pricey indeed! But then again the location is pretty convenient so I guess that makes it worth it.
Could get a little pricey but yes truly worth every cent! Can’t substitute convenience and good scenery for a few hundred dollars more 🙂 Besides, going luxurious should be okay right?
I am familiar with Nathan Road because it was the starting area when I did half marathon in Hong Kong. Chi 314 does give you the feel of downtown Kowloon and they have a comfortable facility.
Oh comfortable is definitely the perfect description!
The place looks very clean and cozy with an easy access to the famous spots in HK.
Sure is, will definitely want to stay again if given the chance 🙂 Thanks dear!
Naise. This definitely look like a place I will want to try staying! Love the homey feel of the apartment! Hope it’s not too expensive!
Not so much, fortunately Tiffany! But i assure you, very much worth it! Loved how clean and modern the interiors were
This is such a cool apartment!! I’m definitely suggesting this to my dad the next time we go to Hong Kong 😀
Awww that’s too cool, hope your dad enjoys Chi 314 as much as i did!
Haven’t been to Hongkong so I’m not sure how other hotels there look like. Hopefully, me and my hubby would go abroad soon. 🙂
There’s so much good stuff in this residence. Way better than going to a 5 star hotel that doesn’t allow you to iron your clothes, cook or even bring food inside your room, etc. This is great for family or group of tourists. 🙂
Agree with you 100%! I love hotels for their convenience and all but all of these extra perks are very much welcome anytime!
These types of hotels/apartments are in these days. It’s nice clean and spacious! I like it! What’s nice is that you can easily access transpo from here too.
Yes access to public transpo was definitely one of the best things about staying in Chi 314 Residences. No need to worry about going home late after a full day stroll in Hong Kong!
Karla! How long did you stay in HK? Looks like you stayed in a lot of hotels, though I have to agree, this has to be the coziest one among those you posted 🙂
Hmmm I was there for 2 weeks or slightly longer 😀
I like it! I will have to take note of this when we go visit HK! I like the coziness!
Cozy, comfortable, spacious! Perfect descriptions for this place! Definitely A Plus and a good alternative to hotels as well 🙂
I never stay in any service apartment in HK before. This 314 residences service aprtment look very spacious and well equipped.
Yes, they sure offered what i needed in an apartment, or even more! Loved every second of my stay
I would like this one last year but not in Hongkong. I can’t find one that fits my budget though.
Oh, hope you find one that does though. But just the same, maybe you can let the few hundred extra slide given the amenities? What do you think? 🙂
How many days have you stayed. Is Nathan Road near Kimberly Hotel, it’s familiar to me. I just forgot the details around Kimberly hotel where we stayed last June 2013 esp the road names. hehehe. Maybe I should also consider the website you booked this homestay for future trips incase.
I would say its pricey.. but thats from someone who havent traveked abroad as of yet..
I am one though who would consider my comfort if its worth it.
and this one looks just about right. 🙂
Yay, that’s an awesome way to see it! Definitely worth to consider! 🙂 Happy travels to you Francis!
I actually like serviced apartments more than posh hotels now that I have kids. I have A LOT of mouth to feed so having a complete kitchen is a must.
Awwww that’s so cute and practical! How many kids do you have if I may ask?
I like the comfortable feel! 🙂 It’s so clean and crisp and looks modern, too. It’s like having your own house in Hong Kong that you seldom go home to.
Yes, a level up home away from home, that is 🙂
Since we are planning to visit Hong kong next year then, I take into consideration this hotel. Seems maayos naman ang facilities
Awesome! Very very maayos! Enjoy and tag me please!
The bed really looks and feels comfortable to sleep on. I will look for this apartment when we visit HK
Go for it! Tag me and let me know how the bed was! Hehe 🙂
You had me at fast WiFi hahaha… But seriously, the place looks really good, even the shower room looks very clean. And wow they even have a flat iron available.
I know … I love the flat iron. It was super useful
Nice temporary abode! Comfort and great location comes with a price but one you got in CHi 314 is actually quite a steal.
I also like that the serviced apartments are not cramped on space. You can definitely move around here.
Biggest and best advantage indeed! Although i really wouldn’t mind small spaces as i’m small myself but if this comes along, then ill take that anytime!
I have already gone to various local hotels in our place. This one has a similarity for every hotel or apartment has this feature. The only difference is the location, the price, and of course, the excellent amenities which this apartment to offer to its occupants.
Yep, thanks for the visit!
Great post – I looooove staying in apartments when we travel! So much freedom & privacy 🙂

You can say that again! 🙂 And this one felt so much of a home away from home, only around 10x better with the view and all
Looks like a great little home away from home while exploring Hong Kong! Bookmarked for a future visit! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You are welcome
Really great choice by the looks of it! I’ve yet to try this
Felt homey and perfect. Good thing it was towards the end of our trip so we got time to just relax in a place that felt more like home.
I love staying in apartments, much more than hostels and hotels because it feels so much like being a local. Looking forward to visiting HK so much, this looks like a perfect place to stay.
Serviced apartments can give you all the comforts of a hotel at a much better price. I love the added feature of a kitchenette and the fact that you can work with good WiFi.
Staying in an apartment accommodation offers the advantage of cooking and having some extra space to spread out. The apartment looks very modern and comfortable.
Not familiar with Hong Kong but it looks like a very comfortable, clean and modern place to stay!
So nice to know their are such great accommodations there! I like the location and the fact that it has a kitchen. Nice!
Wow! That looks so awesome! Sometimes when I am traveling a lot, after a while, I like to go to a hotel and not leave the room and just literally REST for a few days (I am a long term traveler tho) This would be a place I would not feel bad about staying in, watching tv, and ordering take out. ahaha
I like to stay in a place like that. It looks comfortable and large enough to not feel stuffy, plus the convenience of having a kitchen and being super close to public transportation.
That kitchen does look great, but I first noticed the shower head. I love when it’s a huge shower head like that and even more when it has a hose to detach. I have long, thick hair and this makes a huge difference.
I’d be interested to know if they do long terms as well, say one month!
Yes, they do long term leasing 🙂 Give it a shot.
Like at a real home! That’s why I love staying at apartments so much! Good alternative to the ever same hotel rooms!
I wish this was my apartment! Haha looks like a great place to stay.
That looks nice and cozy place to stay for couple of days
Great looking apartment! Certainly feels like home, including plenty of amenities.
This looks like a good alternative to Airbnb in HK
Looks so comfortable and sleek. I’d definitely consider this for an extended stay in Hong Kong.
This looks like a great place to stay – I actually expected HK apartments to be absolutely tiny, and this looks pretty comfortable.
Places like this are so good for accommodation when travelling. It’s so nice to have your own space and kitchen sometimes!
I would love to stay here!!! We try to travel very frugally and it can really help to have a nice kitchen to make our own meals. I do love restaurants but on a long trip I miss making quick and simple meals and having a bit of space to spread out at night – lounging on the couch, watching a bit of TV, enjoying some homemade snacks, and planning the next adventure.
This sounds really nice. I don’t need fancy accommodations, but I love it when I’m staying within walking distance of lots of restaurants and shops.
Very Neat! The Value of Money it seems. Thanks for the heads-up 🙂
It looks super schmick!
Looks like a very cosy apartment! I have stayed in the same area when I was in Hong Kong but my room was so small that in one step I was at the door, haha. And it was pretty expensive too.
