Hong Kong Hotels - which is good?

[ah_bui]

Hi,

I am gg Hk in July . However cant really decide on which hotels to stay in.
Have shortlisted a few - YMCA Salis / Kowloon hotel / Mirammar.
Anyone has any reviews on these few hotels?
Or is there any better ones at <SGD200 (after taxes) and walking distance to MTR and in TST ?
Thanks!

Try Prudential Hotel it's juz above Jordon MTR, its a 3-star hotel. I stayed there when I was in Hong kong in Mar this year.

 

[ah_bui]

Thanks Justina, but i saw reviews that Pru is quite run-down and abit eerie ?

 

[wyy]

Hi all,

I have compiled a short list of the Htls which I find acceptable and price-wise reasonable. Hope it's useful to all.

Miramar is good... and u can take the airport express transfer which is nearby... cheaper than taking the train.... hehe...

Must try the dim sum at shamrock hotel.. thumbs up!

 

[sweetypie]

Ah bui,

You can try Kimberly hotel, few mins walk to the nearest MTR. V convenient !

I am going in July too, paid S$698 for 4 nights thru hotelclub.

Hi Ang,

Eerie ?? hmmm ... seems fine to me ? stayed there with my other 2 gfs ... my fren who frequents hkg (2 times a year) stays there often ... but recently she starting to stay at lang-ham (ibm staff got staff rate) that one is like 5 star hotel !! recommended if u got the cash !!

 

[wyy]

shamrock dim sum

hee hee at least now i see some good thing from that hotel

 

[ah_bui]

wah! Kimberly Hotel : $698 for 4 nights thru hotelclub is cheap. 3 stars?

What abt YMCA Salis ? anybody stayed there before?

 

[sweetypie]

Noticed hotel rates in HKG have gone up by quite a bit. When I was there in 2004, a 3 star hotel costs about $105-$120 per night. Now a night cost abt $148 min.

The only thing that draws me to HKG is the sale. So when the shopping bug gets to me, not every year though, can start to make plans loh...

Anyone going to Shenzhen when in HKG ? Can let me have your itinenary. Thanks

Hi

any comment on dorsett olympic and Anne Black YWCA?

my budget is less than $100 per nite, any hotel to recommend?

 

[rachkev]

hi lz_leng,

think both are quite alrite. near to mtr too. why not u take a look at their website and see which one u prefer more

http://www.metroparkhotelmongkok.com/

http://www.majestichotel.com.hk/

cheers

 

[rachkev]

hi cheesescake,

hmm is really hard to get a decent hotel in hk nowadays with less than $100...their rates hv gone quite abit...

tink dorsett olympic is much better than anne black...is quite new...jus opened last yr...anne black is more run-down

nearest mrt for dorsett is olympic...

http://www.dorsettolympic.com.hk/index.html

 

[iz_leng]

thanks Rachel. most probably i will go for metropark mongkok.

btw, any idea if can get astroboy in HK and is comestics cheap? Thank you very much!

 

[cheesecake0608]

hi rachel

tks for ur advice..

 

[rachkev]

lz_leng,

definitely can get astroboy stuff over there.

if u buy comestics over at e counters, probably cheaper by few $ only becos of e exchange rates. bot biotherm &amp; chanel stuff over there, cheaper by $2 or $3 only. my fren would always ask me to buy her biotherm powder as e range couldnt be found here.

 

[rachkev]

you are most welcome cheesecake ^^

 

[tattyteddy]

hi there
i am intending to go to HK in end-Aug, probably staying in Ashley Apartment, but when i go into their website, there is none which i can make reservation or enquiry to.
does anyone knows how i can go about doing it?
tks!

 

[htng]

anyone can advise the website to ashley apartment? I cant find it on the web

 

[bentley]

Does anyone know how do i get transport from the airport to the hotel?
im thinking staying in metropark mongkok.
is there a shuttle bus to Metropark mongkok hotel?

 

[jew]

William> u can go to their webby: www.ashleyapartments.com.hk, email: [email protected]

FYI, their website is not updated. According to their salesperson, the hotel was under another developer.. so if you want to know their room rates, its better to give them an email...

 

[taiwanmei]

Hi bentley

there is a shuttle bus service from the airport to Metropole, just check with the airport staff.

I like Metropole Mongkok &amp; Kowloon becuase the hotels provide 1/2 hour free shuttle to TST and Mongkok shopping areas

 

[thomsonbride]

Hi,

Anyone to advise on Nathan Hotel &amp; Majestic Hotel?

Anyone stayed in Langham Place Hotel b4?

Thanks in advance!

 

[lingling2]

Thomson Bride,
I am intending to stay at Majestic hotel in Sept =)...Read that the comments quite good and its near to a MTR...

 

[thomsonbride]

Hi ger2,

We'll be booking Langham Place Hotel.

When are you going? We are going from 12 to 17 Sep.

I used to stay in Eaton Hotel and Majestic Hotel is just nearby it. External of the hotel looks not so nice but i heard the interior has improved.

So i wonder how it looks like now.

So when are you going? And how much you pay?

Agency quote us $1180 for 6D5N; Langham Place, Cathay Pacific.

 

[lattefan]

Though of going to HK late sept - early oct. Is it cheaper to book from travel agency or buy online air-tickets n hotel ourselves?
