  I'll be in Hong Kong for two days (1 night) in mid June, to fly out to Manila after that stay.

  Could somebody recommend me some hotels that are fairly central and not so expensive.

  It's my first time in HK..

  btw .. Hotels for stay in Manila are also welcome.

  Thanks!

  I stayed here in September. OK. Nothing incredible. Tip would be to skip their breakfast.

  The Cosmo hotel seems reasonable .. you can get a standard room for 86 dollars a night .. and it's only for one night .. so that might be fine ..

  Mingle seems quite cheap .. You can get an executive suite for 182 euros a night .. not that much of a suite then i suppose .. rooms go for about 100euros .. seems fine ..

  Are they both okay location wise?

  • Location is alright, not overlooking harbour if that's what you're after. Keep in mind that getting around in HK isn't hard. Good metro.– neandersthal1/2

    hard. Good metro. And a fuckload of cabs.– neandersthal2/2

  I walk around and look for travel agents...yes travel agents....walk in and ask for your price range....they will beat it.

  They are located all over hong kong. It has worked wonders for me over 8-9 times. Sometimes you have to book multiple hotels for extended stays e.g. 1 day here - 2 days there - 1 day over there. I always find a nice place usually for 30-40 USD less than what the desk quote is.

  • LoL not if you're Westerners. No special deal– sebastianfrench1/3

    wrong. This has served me well so much that I stopped booking in advance. I'm a westerner.– kommute2/3

    thanks for the tip.– inteliboy3/3

  Just stay at WAN CHAI, ADMIRALTY, CENTRAL, SOHO, IFC (Hong Kong Station) & ELEMENT ICC (Kolwoon Station)

  Skip all the luxury brands shopping no point waiting in line with the mainland china tourists. Skip Disney HK is a big joke. My kids went to Ocean Park they had a blast

  Sevva is absolute shite!

  The Cosmo is a good hotel, but a bit out of the way in Happy Valley. YMCA is decent too, but over on Kowloon side so a bit off the beaten track too.

  If you want a good insight into Hong Kong life I would recommend something in Central, or maybe even Wan Chai if you like a little spice.

  Try The Upper House in Pacific Place:

  http://www.upperhouse.com/Pages/…

  Brand new...amazing restaurant and bar. If you don't end up staying here then at least go to Cafe Grey for a drink and enjoy the view.

  For the love of god don't eat at Aqua or any of the other Aqua restaurants. Absolute shite.

  • for tourists aqua is pretty rad. or that hutong restaurant a few floors above/below– inteliboy1/5

    Terrible food for the price - over-hyped joke.– jevad2/5

    make sure if you goto Wan Chai, to not go on the subway to Chai Wan.. i did that.. :(– e-pill3/5

    Yeah you did! Hahahha...nobbah!– jevad4/5

    haha– ephix5/5

  Upper House great too.
  Also Krug Room RSVP a must
  http://www.mandarinoriental.com/…

  also SoHo for drink after work the Peak Cafe (I think) and Staunton Cafe. Everyone from all over the go there for happy hours. If your young little babies head over to Lan Kwai Fong Central.

  • Dude...you really need to go to less places that straight up suck here.– jevad1/2

    You mean the Aqua spirit bar on Peking Rd. Great location!– jevad3/4

  Why most hongkong companies hired white ppl for their top management positions?

  • Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839–1842).– utopian1/2

    All the ppl i work with and met are westerners. Great place for networking for sure– sebastianfrench2/2
