Wan Zai also quiter with cheaper rate as compared to central i guess

From what i've read so far, yes.

You also might find these videos useful (part 1-part 4):










However this is from Tsim Tsa Tsui to Tung Chung (Interchange at Lai King). Since TST is one station hop away, should be quite similar to what you are looking for.

anyone stay at west hotel before ?

can give some reviews ?..between west hotel or royal plaza hotel ?

I'm a Malaysian currently staying in Hong Kong now (almost 5 years). And I really don't agree with you in terms of HK people attitude. I found that the majority of people here are much more polite and helpful to strangers. If you're comparing people at the ladies market, most of them are not local (mainlander) and uneducated. But even that, I hardly hear them swearing vulgar words at anyone like those at Petaling Street. I have experienced the best after sales supports from most of the shop in Mongkok Computer Centre (sort of HK lowyat).

And their school (education) are much more better than ours. For those people rude people you encountered, I have friends that visiting from M'sia have the same comments. Usually, it is them that rude in the first place. I'm not saying that you are rude. But did you provoke them? They might be giving the same comments on M'sian tourist. (stingy and rude). The rudest people in HK are those working at the airport immigration department. But I have encountered some very helpful and polite ID officer.

For the food, I have to assume that you're not a Cantonese or not really fond of Cantonese food. I found that most of my colleague/friends from KL that falls to the 2 category will gave the same comments as yours. My colleague (currently based in Japan) who hates japanese food said Tokyo food sucks too.

Big thanks, it really help a lot.

what hotel is recommended? I am going at 6-11 Jan 2010.. any hotel with reasonable price and near to city?

which 'city' are you referring to? reasonable price = Rm300 per night?

Need information here. Might be travelling to HK for the 1st time next year. Where is the best place to stay? e.g near to the MTR, shopping and eating. My budget is around RM250 per night.

By the way, i will bring my little kid there too..

Thanks for info.

the last time i was in HK was staying in Sai Wan (near the Hoi Mei Kai). it's in HK Island, so every time want to travel to TST will need to pay more for MRT. But if you're not there for many days i guess it's ok .

alan_quest, the last time i was in HK.... i found the ppl there had been very nice and helpful. especially when you tell them that you're a tourist perhaps it's just a few you've met which are rude. sorry that you've had a bad experience. i have to say... my time in HK was really enjoyable...

Around Rm1,100 to Rm1,300 for 5 nights.

I suggest you to go to those hotel booking website to search on the hotel prices

hotel rates also defer from time to time due to different festival..

if you want to go for shopping or lepak in Mong kok then you pick hotel around that area..

i prefer to stay in Wan Chai.. easier to move around with a cheaper rate as compared to hotels in Central

Which is the easiest and fastest way getting to The Peak? MTR 中环 Central Station (Exit J2) then walk or MTR to 金钟 Admiralty (Exit C1) then take bus?

i go to the MTR and walk over..... but it's not as close as it looks on the map. around 15 minutes walk... because it's uphill... but if you don't mind the walk then it's ok. you'll pass by the marriage registry as well, quite nice, the last time cause i saw a few couple taking pics and etc

take cab to the 缆车站 from 中环/ 金钟 .. i remember i took cab from 上环 til the station cost less than 20HKD..

fast and easy

Hi,

Towels are provided, not in the room, have to collect from the office, self service. Used towels, if you want to change, just throw them into the laundry basket provided in the "apartment unit".

In addtition, shampoo and liquid soap are provided in the bathroom, in the wall dispensers.
