Advisory : Travel to Hong Kong

[seiko.citizen]

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.

Just read all the stuff here, very brief informative.

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

hAHAHA i GOING HONG KONG ON 11 MAR FOR 6 DAY.

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.

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

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.

fantastic post!

how much is the 360 selling for?

did not go in and ask... was in a hurry looking for an available toilet... but it still is a handsome looking watch, though...

[m33pok]

saw it's younger sibling, the 360 through a shop window at one of the grey dealers' shop in Holiday Inn on Nathan Road last week...

I was in HK early Nov. I went to the same shops that Watcha posted these pics. I saw the exact same watches. Yes, around Mira hotel area. many many 2nd hand shops with many many rollies, pammies, etc etc.

Good job bro for taking the pics. My wife and I were in awe while we in HK by the huge selection available, both brand new and used. similarly for her favourite handbags.

we went Paris and London in Aug and we also don't see so many Hermes Birkins and Chanel Jumbo. HK is the best in our opinion for shopping for watches and handbags. Price wise, is so-so, but selection is really really damn good

puts all the boutiques and 2nd hand shops (referring to both watches and bags) into shame man!!!!

[Watcha]

I look at the price tag and know which shop already. A young chap the locals call Tak gor runs the shop. Can bargain a bit but not very much. Great selection. The shop got no name board but it's called union classic. I know them for many years and have no problem with this shop.

Near mirimar hotel at Kimberley street along Nathan road in TST. Got a few more shops there to drool too.

yes that is the shop.

quite a few shops along nathan road. scattered around.

didn't go to hong kong side though.
