QUOTE(ISFJ @ Sep 20 2012, 12:27 PM) 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 be going there in Dec this year  Hope the weather will be just nice  the MTR trip to Shenzhen will take about 45min+-. For accomodation I recommend Dragon Hostel in Mongkok (affordable + excellent service + free wifi)

QUOTE(ISFJ @ Sep 20 2012, 04:36 PM) Will consider the hostel, thank you very much!  I wonder how many months in advance should I start booking for accommodation? You can refer to their website here http://www.dragonhostel.com/I made mine back in March this year...but the price is not the cheapest also...I think they price based on season...

QUOTE(ISFJ @ Sep 24 2012, 08:16 PM) Means you only pay when you get there? Do you need to pay any deposit for your booking? Pay 1 night as deposit, they have a local bank account in Public Bank & CIMB if not mistaken then the rest pay in full when arrive there  QUOTE(Scopio @ Sep 24 2012, 08:22 PM) izzit hk stuff are kinda exp?? Depends on what stuffs are you referring to  if you're saying food then yes, slightly more expensive

You can try 'Ladies Street' aka 女人街 in Mongkok which is similar with the Petaling Street here in KL but the stuffs are mostly girls stuffs & there are some of the things that you can't find it here  good place for souvenir as well

QUOTE(jimmyysk @ Oct 2 2012, 10:51 AM) Will going to HK on May next yr by AA from KL-HK and back from Shenzhen-KL. Wondering the plane for domestic and to HK is it the same? Why lot of people here mention going to Macau for the HK trip, is it attraction place to visit at Macau cause my itinerary not including Macau. We prefer Shenzhen more than Macau. Going there for 7D6N. You guys think how many days enough to stay at Shenzhen cause as I know Shenzhen not many places to visit other than shopping. Can anyone recommend budgeted hotel since we going to stay there so many days and 9 people of us? We plan to stay near Mongkok as understand there is very convenient to get food and near to the tourist place. For my trip to HK last year, my flight was KL - ShenZhen & return...it's really a pain in the a$$ as the MTR trip from Shenzhen airport to border MTR is 45min....then from boarder MTR to Mongkok MTR is another 45 min  which makes it a triring trip with all the luggage

QUOTE(straw @ Oct 30 2012, 10:31 PM) any recommand 3 star hotel? budget rm300 to rm350. room can fit 3ppls? actually want try guest hse or budget hotel but the website pic not same as actual pic after google. really dilemma. any budget hotel condition like tune hotel? If you want condition as nice & tidy at HK with that price is really quite difficult mate...settle for the <Dragon Hostel> in Mongkok, stayed there last year & they have multiple room choices, since you got 3 person going, you can choose the room with 1 single bed & another double decker bed. The main point of this hostel is that its cheap & very near to MTR stations & some local attractions in Mongkok

QUOTE(ChrisWeiYuan @ Dec 27 2012, 03:27 PM) JUst to seeking advises here. May i ask how much should I change for HK dollars for a trip of 5d 4n? It's a couple trip. Excludes flight and hotel cause these are already settled. QUOTE(ChrisWeiYuan @ Dec 27 2012, 04:56 PM) Rm2000 is per person. So total is rm4000 for two of us. I understand the living standard at HK is very high. That is why i am wondering Rm4k enough for both of us. Didn't expect the Mineral water bottle is Rm10 per bottle! OmG! IMHO RM 2000 for each person is more than enough for a not so flashy trip  for my previous trip to HK 2 weeks ago, I spent around the same amount of money as well but no shopping though...
