The Silka Tsuen Wan hotel is so far the only hotel designated for foreign domestic helpers to complete their 21 days' quarantine.
It said it was fully-booked until November 1, with just over 280 rooms available for the helpers.
Under current regulations, hotels can only have an occupancy rate of around 70 percent.
There's been a shortage of helpers here after the government banned flights from the Philippines and Indonesia from April and May respectively.
In a deal struck last week, helpers can begin arriving from Monday.
But it looks to be complicated by a two-week flight ban imposed on Philippine Airlines yesterday, after three Covid cases were found on a flight.
