Hong Kong : hotel recommmendation

[Mcf777]

anyone know where to buy bus ticket from Kowloon area hotel to Shenzhen North Railway station?

 

i lazy to take train to luohu. scared no place to seat and have to carry along luggage with other family members..

[Thaiyotakamli]

Anyone have any idea the taxi price from Airport to hotel in Mong Kok area?

Want to compare the estimated taxi cost Vs airport shuttle bus, we would need 2 taxi as there are 6 of us.

 

Thank you

Taking airport express is always more expensive than taxi. Only if u r alone then worth paying for

Year end is the best time to go hkg.....like you say. Its really aircon temp outdoors.

 

Dec 2015 me alone took my gal p6 and boy p2 to DL and OP....via their local MTR. super easy and fast.

 

Not as crowded as our US. But you must be mentally and physically ready for those chinaman.....they are pretty much everywhere u go and are a rowdy bunch....haha.

 

End Nov is nice weather. Cooling like walking in AC, not too cold. 18C maybe ?

 

I find Ocean Park better & more spacious to walk around, can also take cable car. More space for kids to run around. If they like animals, OP will keep them interested.

 

DL I find too small.

Recent years think hk temp in Dec sometimes can drop to around 10-12 deg which consider cold.

In January, it could drops below 10 deg.  If kenna rainy, it is even colder.

Absolutely correct, we took the taxi and cost us about HK250 from airport to Mongkok area.

train to hkg island from Tseung Kwan O should be within 1/2hr (but from airport   )

I've never been to that area before

i think like comparing staying near orchard vs staying at tampines

[Thaiyotakamli]

Wanted to try Airbnb but in the end never try. Then i always ended staying in sheung wan or mong kok area.

I have tried Airbnb in KL, Tokyo & HK.  Going to try it in Seoul tomorrow.

 

It is positive experience for me all of it.
