where have you covered so far? TsT to MK right? have you tried Tung Chung yet? for night view, i highly suggest going to West Kowloon Promenade, although it's quite empty there, but the video over looking the HK island side is a lot better than cramming up around TsT....

if you can't seem to get a taxi while getting out from the promenade, you could walk to "Elements", it's about a 5-10 minute walk away anyway....

Actually both is same. Ladies street seems better for me.

I suppose to go Stanley but kaki sakit, we decide to just go back hotel to rest. Stanley market should have something different from those two market in kowloon I guess...

Hmmm kaki still pain.. Getting ready for Disneyland smile.gif

hey guys

im looking to stay in Hong kong with my girlfriend and her mum for a couple of days. Just got a few questions to ask.

Will we have any problems with 3 person staying in a room?

Any recommended hotels (budget 1000hkd a night max)? Which area is the best to stay in?
You are looking for hotel or guest house?
I going HK next month. Have booked Golden Crown Guest House after doing some survey, this guest house have quite positive comments. Maybe you can have a look smile.gif Finger-cross it will be good to stay as long as is clean.
Another one is Taisan Guest House which have positive comments too.

HAHA, nah, i just walk around HK when i'm free anyway....i work near SoHo, like probably 2 minutes walk away or so....my gym is nearby there, it's called Pure Fitness...

if you are interested in the beaches, you can try going to Shek O beach or Big Wave Beach in the Kowloon area, or head over to Sai Kung for a relaxing walk around the promenade, and have some seafood restaurants around there.

Stanley is mostly tourist area, with a lot of them coming from the west, so do expect prices to be somewhat higher than other parts of HK.

stayed both, self pay breakfast but worth it @disney hotel (the white one) if hv children. lot of cartoon char around breatfast time.

I want to get this straight. Do you mean :
- free breakfast is provided but you choose to have a better breakfast at better restaurant, or,
-no free breakfast is provided at all, even a cheap breakfast

which one is it?I'm asking because some blogs claim, they stay at hollywood hotel, and paid rm600++ which is the normal rate, and it comes with free breakfast.

why'd you go Yung Kee? their service attitude is horrible, and overpriced for their roasted goose though....even though around Central there isn't much to compare, but i heard from my colleagues, you should go to Honolulu for their roasted goose which is not bad (but i advise you not to go there during lunch time, as the servers also has the same bad attitude)

there's actually 4 7-11 near this area, you will definitely see people buy alcohol before hitting a pub/club, as a drink in a club = HKD 110 or more, while getting alcohol in 7-11 is about HKD 20~30....so you do the math whistling.gif

2 years ago when i went there, is about HKD40-60 per meal, not big restaurant, not meal in disneyland / ocean park of cos smile.gif
If increase also HKD60-80 per meal, then most HKD100 I guess.

So I think RM120-150/person per day (3 meals) should be OK tongue.gif
I going again next month, maybe I can give you some feedback when I am back smile.gif

nah, a meal here costs between HKD 40~60, if you go to some other restaurants, then maybe HKD 100~150. Allocate around HKD 250 to 350 per day for food, it should be more than enough.
