Bought tickets to HK for April-May 2013. Wondering if I should start booking for accommodation now.

Thanks for the information! My bf and I will be spending a week in HK, so we planned to visit Macau and Shenzhen as well. We're looking for a budget guest house as we will be out most of the time, so we just need a room to sleep in at night.

Will consider the hostel, thank you very much! I wonder how many months in advance should I start booking for accommodation?

I bought it for RM398/person inclusive of airport tax, fees, fuel surcharge and check-in baggage during the Air Asia sales in May this year.

Yup RM398/person for a return trip, which I think is very cheap considering I booked at 2.00am during the sales in May instead of 12.00am when the sales started. I checked last night and found the tickets to Hong Kong to be around twice the price that I booked, but return tickets to Macau is around RM400/person inclusive of airport tax, fees, fuel surcharge and check-in baggage.

Wow you did you booking so many months in advance! May I know how much is the room they charged you with?

Wow that is really cheap! Will definitely book that for my accommodation then! Thanks

Means you only pay when you get there? Do you need to pay any deposit for your booking?

Wow that is actually really convenient, we don't need to use the credit card for booking then (I don't have one haha). But have to take so much cash with you when you go there...

Just booked a hotel room for 6 nights at Oi Suen Guesthouse through AsiaRooms.com. The website stated that we could only pay for the accommodation when we get to HK. I would like to ask if it is reliable to book through the website? I am a bit paranoid now.

Hi, I'll be going to HK end of next month for 9D8N. I have booked accommodation for 6N in HK (Oi Suen Guesthouse - anyone stayed there before?), and plan to use the remaining 3D2N in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. I would like to ask if any of you have any recommendations for hotels in Shenzhen and Guangzhou that are easily accessible using public transport since I will be traveling there from HK.

Matta Fair isn't of any help in that matter as most of the travel agents only offer tours without any information on the hotels (we prefer to go free and easy without any tours). But I managed to buy Disneyland tickets at RM150 each, hopefully it is a good deal.

Thank you very much in advance

Thank you very much for your suggestion, will search and see if I can get good deals for the hotel. My visit is mainly for leisure so any interesting areas will be good!

Currently planning my itinerary, and am lost when it comes to food.

The hotel that I booked is in Mongkok, nearby the Ladies Street. Hopefully it's a good location! I am unable to read Chinese / speak Cantonese too, have to depend on my boyfriend on that. I have just planned my itinerary until the 4th day of my trip, 6th-9th day pending Realized it's actually not easy to plan one.

I got a really cheap deal on AirAsia, RM397 return tickets (including airport tax, service charge, 15kg baggage) for my trip from end of April till early May 2013. Pretty lucky I must say.
