Dear Everybody,
Hi everybody, it is me again, Picar from Indonesia.
As mentioned earlier, in coming April my family and I will visit hong kong for holiday purpose. We will be over there around 7 days.
Last time, I have already posted a topic : ';looking for an apartment for short stay in hong kong'; and got replies from all of you. However, I could not the ones which meets my requirement.
Just for your information, the total of us would be 6 persons : 2 adults, 1 old man, 1 teenager, 1 child (9) and baby (2).
I need 2 rooms with connecting door because my son needs attention and handling from more than one person.
Therefore, now I need your help again to recommend some nice hotels with following features:
-4 stars hotel
-easy access to transportation. If possible, I prefer to stay at a hotel which sits on top of subway station and also near to shopping area.
-nice and bigger room.
-location could be in Kowloon or in Hong Kong island.
-able to offer connecting door
I would really appreciate for your reply.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Picar
hotel in hong kong with best access to transportation
the only hotels that i know that is on top of an MTR station is the 5*s Pacific Place hotels. U can choose hotels that are near an MRT which might work out better for your budget.
Causeway Bay hotels are very convenient so the best way to do this is to check prices and choices for hotels for ur date of stay at asiabesthotel.com (a site I had trust for quite a few years for my trips to SIN and now will try to get one for HK weekend stay).
Good Luck
hotel in hong kong with best access to transportation
To de last one,
Thank you for your advice. You are a helpful person.
Ok. I will check with Pacific Place and hotels in Causeway Bay.
Please help me again if I have anything to ask.
Kind regards,
Picar
Prudential hotel would be another one that is above the MTR station. However, it%26#39;s catered to mainland tourists, always groups and groups of them checking in and out. It%26#39;s above Jordan MTR. Escalators and some stairs required to access the MTR station.
It%26#39;s also a 3 star hotel at max.
The other hotel I think you really should consider is the Excelsior. It%26#39;s NOT above the MTR, but it%26#39;s VERY well and conveniently located, near shopping centers, dining options, and from the exit of the hotel, you can walk straight, flat ground... all the way to the elevator access to the MTR station of Causeway Bay just outside SOGO.
I think they have connecting rooms too. You can%26#39;t go wrong with Excelsior.
Dear Katetam,
Thank you for your advice. I will look into Excelsior Hotel. Hopefully it meets to my family%26#39;s need.
Kind regards,
Picar.
Just to remind you, Excelsior is old, the rooms are not the latest, hip, and modern furnishing like other hotels around Kowloon and HK. The only advantage is its location, and the staff.
Royal Plaza is above KCR station, which is actually convenient too.
Anyways, I wanted to comment that with your travelling cofiguration, I highly recommend you travel by taxi around HK, it%26#39;s not expensive, and would save you a lot of troubles, and will be easier to transport around HK with elderly, and baby...etc.
So, perhaps you can consider finding the hotel that suits your needs and budget first, and worry about the transportation second. Like I always say, transportation in HK (compared to many other cities).... it%26#39;s very efficient, and can%26#39;t see it to be problem as long as you are in the city (Kowloon/HK island).
Dear Katetam,
Thank you again for your info.
Please let me have your advice for following poitns:
-so, which hotel I should take which is suitable for my family. Actually, it is not a must that the hotel location should be on the top of MTR station. It is okay if the location is just near (walking distance) to the station.
-I really need your advice for the hotel because I absolutely don%26#39;t know about Hong Kong. If possible pelase offer the hotel which has: good location, easy access to transportation, nice and big enough room.
-how many max passengers for a taxi? My family members are : 2 adults (incl. me), 1 old man, 1 young woman, 9 years and 2 years old boys. Can a taxi take them all?
-if my hotel in Causeway Bay area, how long does it take for a taxi to reach Ocean Park?
I am really looking forward to having your advice again and thank you for your kind attention.
Kind regards,
Picar
Which hotel is really hard to say b/c it depends on your budget, and what month you are visiting, if it%26#39;s high season, you might not be able to get the hotel at the rate you would if you came off season.
Anyways, Convenient hotels to transportation, I will give you a list, you might need to see which one suits your budget, and find out from them about connecting rooms. (Do realize, connecting rooms is a request, not a guarantee at most hotels.) I suggest you inform them about your DEFINITE need for a connecting room, have the hotel confirm it in writing 2 days before you arrive.
1) I suggest you look into a few options :
Have you looked up Lanson Place? Ashley Apartments? Horizon Suites? YMCA salisbury%26#39;s family suite? Langham Place%26#39;s Family suites? This might be more suitable than just 2 connecting rooms.
Harbour Plaza North Point%26#39;s Apartments?
The hotels you can consider:
From 5 star down to 2 star:
Hong Kong side:
Island Shangri-la, Conrad, Marriot, Park Lane, Excelsior, Metropark, Harbour Plaza North Point
Kowloon side:
Langham Place, Sheraton, Marco Polo Hong Kong, Royal Plaza, Miramar, YMCA Salisbury, Marco Polo Prince, Prudential, Park Hotel, BP international,
Taxis- take maximum 5 passengers, sometimes if a baby, they will take six. but if your child is 2 years old (you said baby before). Most likely you need to take 2 taxis then.
Regarding Causeway Bay to Ocean Park, if no traffic jam, you can be at Ocean Park in 15 minutes by taxi or less.
There is a bus just for Ocean Park at Admiralty MTR station, if you don%26#39;t want to take taxi.
Dear Katetam,
Thank you again for your info. I am honored with and really appreciate your help.
I will give a try to look through your suggestion and hopefully I can find one. If the hotel or apartment could meet my inquiry, then I don%26#39;t mind to adjust my budget up 4-star hotel or apartment.
Regarding my stay in Hong Kong, actually if I am not mistaken I have already mentioned that I will visit Hong Kong in April 2007. I will depart from Indonesia on 14 April and would spend about 7 days over there.
There are 2 options for me:
1st option
Staying in Hong Kong island or Kowloon for the whole week.
2nd option
From 14 - 17 April we stay in a hotel or apartment in Hong Kong island or Kowloon.
From 17-21 April we stay in Disneyland hotel.
I am now comparing between 2 options above by getting as much as possible the information hotel and apartment in Hong Kong or Kowloon area. Do you have any idea which option is ideal for my family needs?
Kind regards,
Picar
