Have no idea where to stay in Hong Kong? This article is meant for you! 4 Star. 1. City Garden Hotel. Website : City Garden Hotel Address : 9 City Garden Road, North Point, Hong Kong Average Price : RM330 / USD100 Review : 5 Minutes walk away from Fortress Hill MTR Station, it is strategically located in North Point, the hotel is very grand with superb interior & spacious room, you can find lots of street food within walking distance. Rating : 8/10 Getting There : MTR Fortress Hill ( 炮台山 ) Exit B, Turn right and walk straight. Turn left to Power Street, walk straight till you see a horse betting center on your right side, City Garden is just opposite the horse betting center. Approx 5 minutes walk. 2. Disney's Hollywood Hotel. Website : Disney's Hollywood Hotel Address : Hong Kong Disneyland, Lantau Island, Hong Kong Average Price : RM600 / USD180 Review : Magical & instant memories of what accompanied us growing up, the everlasting Mickey & Friends. Disney's Hollywood Hotel is slightly cheaper than the 5 Star Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel however still able to bring back the good old times. The cheapest rate i got was RM430 / USD130 for a magical night stay. Rating : 9/10 Getting There : MTR Disneyland Resort 3 Star. 1. Dorsett Seaview (Rebranded as Silka Seaview) Website : Silka Seaview Hotel Address : 268 Shanghai Street, Yaumatei, Hong Kong Average Price : RM250 / USD76 per night Review : Very reasonable price with a strategic location. It is just a 5 minutes walk to MTR Yau Ma Tei while a few attractions such as Temple Street, Tin Hau Temple, Jade Market, Ladies Street are all within walking distance. Rooms are comfortable with air con, LCD Tv & hot shower. Rating : 8/10 Getting There : MTR Yau Ma Tei ( 油麻地 ) Exit C, turn right & walk till a basketball court. Turn right & walk straight till you pass Tin Hau Temple & a playground on your left side, Dorsett Seaview is on your right side. There is a traffic light in front of the hotel. Approx 5 minutes walk. Remark : 1. Rating given is based on the hotel's price, comfort, location, service & my experience during my stay in the hotel & it is compared between the same class of hotels ( 4 Star against 4 Star ; 3 Star against 3 Star ). For example, A 8/10 rated 4 Star Hotel does not mean the hotel is worse than a 9/10 rated 3 Star Hotel. 2. The price shown above is an indicative roughly how much it average cost. Therefore price might be hike up when demand is high. However if any price you found is much lower than the price indicated, it would be a good buy.
