MOO, Kimberley is not near but it's walking distance to the shopping place. MTR is about 5 MINS walk or less.
Kimberley Hotel room is quite small for the lowest catergory rooms.
Depends on where you prefer to stay. For me I prefer Tsim Sha Tsui area. If Mongkok area is your preference than prudential quite alright la..
Both place surrounding have shopping areas-you just have to walk around and venture...
Hong Kong have to walk alot cos there is too many place to shop...I usaully have heavy breakfast and shop all the way till evening dinner. Than continue again..the smaller shops closed at almost 11.30 am!
Tsim Sha Tsui has got good food and shopping area as well (along kimberly road and nathan road where G2000 and major shops are located).
Near Hanhow Road (check map) walking distance (next street from nathan road) go try the macau cafe...food is superb...
Also try wanton noodles in hong kong..
Be sure to get a hong kong map-for usual maps they will highlight the shopping places in "yellow", that will make it easier for you.
*wink*
Your question of a 4 star property that would be Miramar, they have inter-connecting rooms which is very useful for family. room- spacious near Tsim Sha Tsui MRT. Shops are located around or opposite that hotel. I would say this one good.

Anyone travel to Hong Kong before during the month of jun? any idea has their summer sale started in the month of jun? I have been to hong kong 3 times but everytime i travel there around end July whereby they start to have further reduction for their summer sale.
Unfortunately, this year I am unable to take leave around end july. I can only take in end jun. Therefore, wondering if I go during end june, has they started their summer sale. anything to buy during that period? Can any kind soul out there give me some advice? Thanks very much.

summer sale usually starts end jul fourth week and all the way to August.
However you can still buy some stuff but not as much as during summer time.
Some pple will say nothing to buy cos they expect when they fly there..they want to buy lots of stuff..but ended up disappointed..so dun expect too much.

I hv no preference on where to stay,just want a good location near to good shopping area and MTR. The last time I went there was like 15 yrs ago, stayed @ stanford hotel near the ladies mkt, tt's all I can remember. Can tell me why u prefer tsim sha tsui to Mongkok area? What's the diff between the 2, are they pretty near to each other?

hi skyla,
it's true that hk is very crowded but so is bkk, rite?
disneyland is not messy anymore n 3 new rides r going to be opened at june end.
july n aug is the summer holiday in hk, china, UK, canada n the states, so all students studying overseas will be back to hk. might not be a very good time to visit cuz it's hot n crowded. though it's when u can grab cheap n nice stuff becuz of the summer sale.

Hello Sharlene
Holiday Inn Golden Mile room is fairly large and clean. There are 2 queen size bed or you are opt for 1 king size bed. Location is good, near the "MTR" and shopping. Easy to access.
Location can not be beaten - walk out the door and you are in the middle of Nathan Road. The harbour is only 10-15 minutes walk away and so are the Temple St night markets.
I am thinking of booking this hotel again for my trip in Jun. Have you check the rate per night? BTW, when are you going ?

Hi Blue Giger,
I juz came back from HK last mth. I stayed in Marca Polo Gateway hotel. We booked from Jetabout Holiday at $198/nite and we bought 4 nites and got 1 nite free. My wife and me love the location veri much cos it was veri near to the harbour (cos we took the ferry to HK island) as well as the harbour to Macau(we went to Macau).
In fact we booked our air tickets and hotels separately during the NATAS fair. We took United Airlines which flew at 6.45am (Singapore) and back at 8.00pm(Hong Kong) (Went early in the morning and came back late), made full use of the time.
The air ticket we got was ard $350 inclusive of airport tax, as compare to Jetstar Asia ard $310 inclusive of Airport tax, so of cos we dun mind paying a little more to fly with UA.
The reason for us to book separately was becos my wife, my MIL, my baby and I all suqeezed into 1 room with 2 double beds but during check in, juz told them 2 adults and 1 baby only. So if we booked thru agency a tour package, we have to pay 4 persons fare and after calculating, we found tat to book separately would save more. (the $ tat we save can spend on shopping)
In addition, during our stay, one of the date was my MIL birthday. Tat nite when we went back to the hotel room, to our surprise, we found a birthday cake in the room. It was compliment from the hotel. From here u cab see how well was their service. They also provided a free baby cot for my baby
Another good abt the location is tat, if it rains, u can still shop ard the harbour city which is a really huge shopping centre (some people say tat it is HK biggest shopping centre, but some say Mongkok tat one).
On top of tat, it is near to the Espirit outlet which sells Espirit products at a veri low price. So after buying stuffs from Espirit, I could straight bring them back to hotel room, put them down and go for other shopping.
Moreover, directly opposite the Marca Polo Gateway hotel, there is a Chinese restaurant selling veri cheap and nice 'Dian Sum'. We went there continously 2 days after we found out from the hotel staff.
The location juz ard 5 to 10 mins walking distance to MTR, so if next time we are going to HK again, most probably will stay at the same hotel. It is a 4 Star hotel, juz only tat the furniture looks a bit old, but who cares. Our main purpose is to get a big room (abt 32 square metre) to sleep, to accomadate 4 of us and tat its.
Remember to brg extra luggage bag and juz 1 or 2 T-shirt with u will do. The rest of the T-shirt can buy from there.
We bought a lot of stuffs until our luggage bag cannot close, so have to put inside my hand carry bag.
So do enjoy urself (^_^)
