Hi all, I'm about to travel in end of sept, just booked my tix very recently.
Currently hunting for hotels, my only must criteria is for 3 person, triple bed or any double room that can allow me to add a bed at a reasonable price. 3 or 4 stars hotel near to city town centre. my budget is about RM400 per night for all these... given my criteria above, can you give me any recommendation please? Thank you! |

QUOTE(Limrolando @ May 29 2013, 10:09 PM) prince marco polo should be suitable for u . because their double bed bedsize is near to queen. wah bro, this is a bit too expensive, all in for 3 beds is about 600++ per night, which is way out of my budget already. thanks for your recommendation, but got some other slightly cheaper recommendation please? tsim sha jui, mong kok, or even causeway bay side also ok for me 1. still considering. |

QUOTE(mugenz @ May 29 2013, 10:54 PM) I stayed in madera hotel in Jordan. It's just two mins walk to Jordan mtr. Around 15 mins walk to yau ma tei, temple street. I remember I booked it for rm360 per nite during last September 2012. I think Jordan is ok too... with all the descriptions given are pretty Okay... but no luck, I just checked the price on Agoda, the cheapest room for 2 is RM620 per night, very pricey yo! hahah.... They even have a nice bar which can overlook the harbor for symphony of light. Disadvantage is at nite it rather quiet but its still safer than any streets in kl/pj. I think 3 stars hotels are my only choice given my tight budget... |

QUOTE(Limrolando @ May 29 2013, 11:49 PM) why you need added extra bed at those room ? they have two single bed available and their bed size is near to queen which is 1 bed can sleep two person. and per night only RM400 my price . hmmm, sure ar? only this prince marco polo single bed is as big as queen size? hmmm.... if so, then I can give a serious consideration about it.... if around RM400 per night, then it is very ok for this... 3 of us also not big sized. so sure ok to squeeze onto the queen size alike bed... say, if I have 3 adults, will they force us getting an additional bed 1 ar? if no, then good... if yes, then it would be very pricey.... I mean, we don't mind sleeping in a room that is supposedly for 2 for 3 person. This post has been edited by tehoice: May 30 2013, 09:21 AM |

QUOTE(mugenz @ May 29 2013, 11:49 PM) Oh. Yeah hmmm, okay, I will shortlist a few then try their website directly... i need a good package for 5 nights for 3 person...But I didn't book thru agoda. Try their hotel website itself. I book thru there. Sometimes they have promo like stay 4 nights for 3nites price. can I have a general question please? would majority of the hotels in hong kong force me to take additional bed if we have 3 person trying to squeeze for a room for 2? thanks! |

QUOTE(ahsoo @ May 30 2013, 09:27 AM) I just got back from HK yesterday. Royal Plaza Mongkok their double double room (two queen size bed) is nice and comes with free wifi, only downside quite a distance walk to MRT Price Edward. double double room? as in for 4 person? or supposedly for 2? but we can squeeze more ppl in ourselves? when you say its quite a distance means how far walk? 800m with 10 minutes walking distance or so?thanks. |

QUOTE(giotto @ Jun 8 2013, 10:25 PM) I'll be heading over to HKG this coming Thursday. Any idea what's the weather like? I've been monitoring online but I just thought it would be great to have comments from people over there. Basically what i'm worried of is the thunderstorms that will really wreck any ground movement plans I've made. hi there, do you mind to share your itinerary with me please? I mean, can I have it for reference please? you may pm me, if please? =) |

QUOTE(Mel2 @ Sep 23 2013, 12:24 PM) The typhoon may have left by next week but the crowd shall be at its maximum next week wor. China national day 1/10 - 3/10 . Hope you don't regret being there during their public holidays  To check the weather you can DL their weather apps on your phone. Very useful. They have 7-day forecast. Hong Kong Observatory. Or go to their website. QUOTE(Chester @ Sep 23 2013, 06:00 PM) Where can find china hk holiday? Not public holiday..more like school holiday? sigh, there's nothing that I can really do now and pray that these people won't surge into town like there's a huge typhoon in china lor..... I bought the tickets quite long ago and didn't really check the holidays... I thought it was okay... but what holiday is that? 3 days for their national day? |

QUOTE(ThekidZ @ May 28 2013, 04:18 PM) Will be going Hong Kong on oct 10. Just a quick one, from airport to mong kok, which option should i opt for? Im travelling in a group of 4, would itbe cheaper if i : 1) Take taxi and shared by 4 2) Buy 3 days unlimited travel + airport transfer but burn the return tix to airport since we only will be back after the 6th day. 3) Shuttle bus Advice? QUOTE(kming @ May 28 2013, 10:29 PM) For option 2, you will not burn the return tix to airport. You still can use it on 6th day for airport express. The three days unlimited on mrt will end after 3 days from your first usage. If you still want to use it for day 4/5/6, you may reload day pass or just normal reload. Keep the ticket for airport express on 6th day. I'm sorry for quoting the old posts, but I just read this.I'll be traveling in a group of 4 too. if I'm not wrong, it is $160 per pax, am I right? so this 160 includes the to and flo to airport as well as 3 days of unlimited mrt usage? |
