Advisory : Travel to Hong Kong

[yattokame]

bumping an old thread here. my parents gonna be in HK for 3 days stopover. they would like to avoid those religious/temple areas. knowing them, eating and shopping is top priority.

also want to find hotel room in HK. budget: <HK$1100 (<US$200). basic hotel best; those with no breakfast even better as they will go out to enjoy the food outside.

language wise will not be a problem.

I usually stay at Kowloon area

1) Stanford hotel at Mongkok. Smack next to ladies market. Shop till wee hours and 100m away is bed.
2) Prudential. Right on top of Jordan MRT station. Accessibility to Tsim Sha Tsui or just 2 stations from Mong Kok.

yup; i intend to put them up in kowloon area. hk island seems abit "ulu". most likely looking at tsim sha shui locale, cos i believe can take mtr into airport, else i believe it will be about 40min taxi ride.

i just hope those two hotels have windows room. the last time i stayed in a hotel, no windows. die liao! dunno day from night; having said that, in bali; my body clock was turned around . sleep/swim during day, then chiong nightlife

they definitely do, but it's always better to request for one that faces the main road instead of other building. you can also check with the concierge for airport bus service (with a charge). cheaper than taking a cab if it's just two persons.

I have also stayed at Imperial Hotel at Tsim Sha Tsui once. Right opposite peninsular hotel and also quite accessible to TST MTR station.

Will check out the hotels listed. Last time my dad went; he said he was able to check his bags in in the city and take a train to airport. enjoy the nice view, knowing you cannot get into a traffic jam on the mtr. . it will be 3 persons. my bro tagging along too. leave me at home to look after the house. perth security quite **** lately.

Just read all the stuff here, very brief informative.

Going to HK to meet my ex-wife on 15 March for 3 days.

ended up booking at nathan hotel for my parents. they were very happy. price wasnt too bad.

was told that you can take the shuttle bus from airport > kowloon station worked out cheaper for 3.

so go check out the hotel reservations desk at the airport. also be prepared to wait ~40mins in immigration.

Think Singapore cheaper, especially those sellers online.. best of all the warranty easy to use.... no need to fly back to hk to get replacements right?

i think i might stay at the cosmopolitan....gg to check their rates now

Did you eventually get to try our cosmopolitan??? How was it? I am looking for a hotel to stay for a nite in June. Wanted somewhere near to Grand Hyatt at Harbour road as hubby will be staying there for business subsequently and I will need to "relocate" there after 1 night.

Personally I also like Citadaine Hong Kong Ashley at TST area. Very very convenient and reasonable pricing. Krisflyer points for krisflyer members too. Free internet. Fairly new and decent. But location is really superb. We stayed there in Dec last year.

Hong Kong - shop for luxury brands

Hi, just want to get some tips from those veteran shoppers is it relatively cheaper to buy Prada, LV & Burberry bags/wallets in hongkong than here in SG?

Thanks for sharing!

prada got factory outlet in hong kong. For Chanel, price quoted is slightly cheaper.
