depends on which period that you are going to HK
if you are going during Mar-Apr, a lot of exhibition going on in HK so you need to get the cheaper hotel rate around Jan, around 2 months ahead

on my last shopping trip (it was August), i only booked hotel 2 weeks ahead.

u better book early as China Travelers will flood HK at that time

suggest you to plan your itinerary 1st then decide on where to stay.
HK's public transport is well developed so don't worry much if you stay near to MRT

It is around Aug to Sept

Not advisable.

HK hotel room is relatively small and the changes of getting caught (of bringing extra pax) is there.

2500 for one ppl spending?

5 days 4 nights? average food and shopping?

If yes, then it is more than enough

actually the tea that they serve in those 'Char Can Teng' before your meal is meant for you to wash your chopstick

Added on January 23, 2011, 4:22 pm7 days 6 nights rm2500 still more than enough

average meal price HKD50, if you take 4 meals a day, it will come up to to HKD 1400. Mineral water around 8 HKD for 500 ml.

Added on January 23, 2011, 4:25 pmCheapest food in ocean park is McD, if i didnt remember wrongly, it is around HKD 70, a bit more expensive than outside

If you are rich enough, you can opt to take Helicopter to Macau. Ferry takes around slightly more than an hour and it cost around HKD 160.

Macau is filled with casinos as well as beautiful historical places.

Dont try to boil the tap water.. it isnt meant for boiling and drinking

the tap water got clorox chemical, even you boil it, you still can smell the scent, there is notice on the hotel which you can double check

yes. it is.
