Good deal? If buy the deal which hotel to consider?

Anyone here stay in Casa Hotel? I will be travelling with my siblings. The toilet wall is transparent type and can it see through?

My budget RM500 pernite for 3ppls, any other recommand besides Casa?

Some ppl claim that u cant really see clearly but its still can see slightly visible.

I didnt stay b4 but always pass by as walking back from Nathan road to my hotel, Madera HK, in Jordan street.

Location wise is superb. Money changer beside, MCDs just opposite. MTR is just stone throw away. Temple street is just 2 blocks away. YMT is really bz street, hence some might find it noisy.

The room size seems to be the biggest rip off. Some claims not work the money paid but well its HK.

You can try 'Dragon Hostel' in Mongkok, I've stayed there last year & I'll be staying there again this coming Dec for holiday. Location is abt 5min walk away from MTR station, Sport shoe st & Lady st is just opposite, got snack stall just downstairs biggrin.gif

I got my room for 2 @ HKD 360/night, staying there whole week for only approx RM 1000+- tongue.gif

u cant do it this way... if u going to overnight @macau, it will be very hard to squeeze Disney in on the next day.
remember u need to check in immigration too (sometime very long queue) and u need time to check in hotel (normally noon) before u can head to Disney sad.gif

my previous recommendation cant fit into your literary? rclxub.gif

btw if u fren arriving early, they can head to Ding2 for the tix first... and mayb Langham Place if got time

monday - branded can go to central or tst (harbour city) or causeway bay (time square)...non branded can go to ladies market, fa yuen street smile.gif temple street can do it at night too... the buddha temple do you mean the Ngong Ping big buddha.? or wong tai sin temple?

Yes > If u plan to watch the live show, panda and the aquatic zoo only
No > If u plan to include Ocean Park Tower ride, cable car, roller-coaster, and other themes game... the last time i went, ocean park is full of chinese tourist... the 5min queue can become 30min long... and i went on weekdays
(the queue is really a turn off doh.gif )
---
one think i dont understand, why u all paid hundreds of dollars for the entrance fee (disney/op) and didnt wan to utilized the days? there are alot of event/game/show prepared, enuf to occupied u whole day...

If u just wan to stamp ur arrival, u better take a pix from internet and photoshop urself into it... cool2.gif

ok mayb u will say im kiasu, but i really enjoy the game and the show...
and i wont blame u, if u r going with elderly... whistling.gif

Checked already ... out my budget. The triple room rate for 4nite price between RM 2200 to RM2500.
My budget RM500/nite.

Hope to get other options hotel equal or better than Casa Hotel (triple) or maybe Novotel Nanthan Hotel (but for 2ppls nia + sofa) .

Checked their website. However, how to make reservation via them? (reservation method)
Is it I have to send reservation (form) info to them only they will send the rate to me?
