All 4 don't have to stay together right?

If you're okay with Hotel and split into 2 pairs, I'll recommend JJ Hotel. Stayed there, and it was comfortable. 5min walk to MTR and 1-2min away from the bus stop (literally 100-200m only). Some days I took the bus, and the other times by train. It's very convenient regardless of whatever mode of transport you choose. Best of all, the Hotel is located on the main street so it wasn't hard to find and I don't feel unsafe when I'm back late. There's a 24-hours Yoshinoya next to it and a 7-11 about 100-200m away. The room was spacious, bed comfortable. Nothing much to complain about.

Thanks for the suggestion. JJ hotel is abit out of budget.
It's quite expensive. Expecting max rm130 per pax. Haha.

Why is it expensive? My booking at JJ Hotel was at RM1,410 for 6 nights, 2 pax. Per pax is only RM117 or so. It's below your budget of RM130 per pax.

I'm extra cautious in HK because the accommodation is usually small and I have been pre-warned by several friends about cleanliness and bed size, which could be very small, making it uncomfortable. I choose "comfortable" places with decent rates because I wouldn't want to wake up with aches or discomfort as it's a long day when you get up. If you don't wake up feeling fresh or good, it'll be a a tough day ahead.

Just my 2 cents.
Ughhhh it's madness, I've become tan! And really very hot, worse than Malaysia. Well, comparable hahahaha.

Bumped into 3 artists, managed to take photo with 1. 2 others are less well-known. Keep your eyes open bigbiggg laugh.gif
And nice to hear you've got some good experience with local. I had mostly good interaction with the locals, with 1-2 more negative ones. But I doubt I'll go HK any time soon or in at least 1-2 years. I really really dislike the culture of them smoking anywhere they like especially while walking or looking over a beautiful scenery at Tsim Sha Tsui.

CNY season i think will be nice ya! I'm sure it's very 'yit lau' (meriah) there. And you could probably experience the local way of celebrating.
Wah you stayed in Chung King area... I heard it's quite "mixed" ya the place. How much was it per night?

I stayed in JJ Hotel. I have checked countless hotels including AirBnB and also ran through hundreds of reviews of Hotels before deciding on JJ. Several reasons for choosing this place:

1. The room appear decent in photos. The beds looked 'big enough' as I heard the beds in Ibis is small - this was personal feedback by friends who stayed in Ibis. True enough, it was nice and comfortable.

2. Value for money. Based on a max budget of RM120 per pax per night, it's very hard to find a decent place in HK coz the accommodation there is expensive. Plus, I prefer to stay in HK Island which friends say are less "zap" (less complicated/ messy).

3. Location was good - It's along the main street (rather than some lorong). Easy to find and recognize. There's a 24-hours Yoshinoya next to it and 7-11 down the road. You don't have to worry about going hungry or feel afraid as you walk home late, with most shops closed.

In fact, the bus stop is just 30sec walk and MTR is 5min away. Very convenient. Friend and I took the bus quite often because it's easy. Don't have to worry about missing your stop because there's LED in the bus that shows which stop is next, in both Chinese and English.

If there's anything negative about the Hotel:
- There's no hair dryer haha. We both have short hair so it doesn't bother us too much.
- The bathroom is glass. So among friends, you gotta bring the blinds down and up whenever you use the loo or bathroom coz even the door is glass.
- Air cond has a soft noise; doesn't bother with sleep though.

Just to manage expectation if you're considering JJ. It is located in the same building as Karaoke for VIPs (other floors) and something related to gambling. I think the whole building has about 20 floors but the Hotel is only 3-4 floors. But it never bothered us because there's no noise from these activities nor do I see suspicious people. There are always security or people who opens the door for us as we enter the building. It's a nice decent building, not old and dingy btw.

It's about RM113 per pax per night. If I ever return to HK, I will go back to this Hotel. It's value for money and comfortable to stay in. There's also a good coffee shop opposite, which I had my breakfast for 5 days in a row laugh.gif

The Jj hotel cost about 2k for 5 nights during new year eve period. So it's around rm200 per pax. I think it's peak season around end of January. Most hotel increase their prices.
