Hong Kong guide (Thread 24)

[mrs. sweet]

anyone here tried staying at Butterfly on Prat? Hubby is kinda liking the place, based on online search though. Is the room clean? How was the bathroom and beddings? Small room if fine with us, since, 2 lang naman kami.

^ive heard good feedbacks about it. Try mo din mag search ng reviews at triadvisor, i find it useful when booking a hotel for the 1st time.

Question mga sis. Riding the cityflyer bus from Airport going to Shamrock hotel.
I can use either the A21(approx60mins) or the A22(approx.30mins). My question is sa drop off point ng A21 which is Nathan, and drop off point of A22 which is Jordan road, ano ang mas malapit lakarin going to Shamrock? Im very familar with A21 route na dahil eto Lagi sakay ko, it's gonna be 1st time im trying A22 because the shorter travel time is so tempting.

Re: Butterfly on Prat

I emailed their reservations desk and the best rate they can give you is the advance booking rate (I think about 15-20% off) but you have to book online.

Here's their reply to my query:

"We have 14 days early bird and minimum stays 3 days promotion during this period. But, you need to reseve the room directly from our website in order to enjoy this offer."

^^Thanks for the reply Mai. I'm always reading tripadvisor's reviews din before selecting a hotel. Baka lang kasi may iba pang reactions here hehe I will book for this hotel now, via agoda

Ako naka-stay na ako sa Butterfly on Prat, okay na okay siya for me
Although di ako very high standards sa hotel naman. 2 kami ng sister ko , we booked yun queen bed room

Re shower, stained glass sya so if close family no prob naman. Free 2 bottles drinking water everyday. clean room, nice bed, may microwave and ref

Free wifi sa lobby and free use of IMac desktops. I am not sure but i believe wifi narin mga room

[gorgeousmama]

nakapag stay na din ako dati dito , nice room naman sya and okey din

but mas mganda talaga sa L NINA hotel, layo lang talaga, tsuen wan pa sya

but a ang view mo from your window is Victoria Harbour which is breathtaking, grabee ang ganda
dun pa lang ayaw mo ng umalis sa hehe

yung room nila which is for 2pax lang e pede pang 4, even the bed pede 4

pglabas mo madaming kainan and shopping areas, 7/11, and yung hotel interconnecting sya sa mall na
madaming kainan, plus 2mins walk sa MRT,

ang downside lang na nakita ko malayo sya sa TST

@nikx 

Check the promo details.  You'll be given a voucher which you will present when you purchase your Disneyland tickets.  Additional $5.00 when you use a Visa credit card to buy 1 Day Disneyland ticket.

Enjoy your trip and please share your Disney experience.

sis how much young rate niyo per day? and strict ba yung hotel sa number of guests inside a room?

[mama squeak!]

@smm_0411, lugi ka pag sa HKIA magpapalit. Either dito ka sa Manila bumili ng HKD or papalit ka sa TST mismo. Backread ka lang at marami ng nagtanong ng ganyan sa thread and marami na ring sumagot.

hoopchick: Last year, around april, it was about 5thou inclusive of taxes and SC. I believe about 6k na ngayon. There were only 2 of us. Not sure on how strict they are. Pero before you can  go up sa elevator,  dadaan  ka talaga sa front desk so makikita talaga kayo

[hoopchick]

^ sis rhumbafrapp thats 5thou in pesos?

[snowberry]

Mga Sis magkano po ang fare sa airport express coming from Central station?

Pwede ba pumunta Disney from Central via Tung Chang Line?

[theflygirl]

^You'd be boarding the airport express at Hong Kong station instead of Central station (walang airport express sa Central)....just a bit of a walk, around 8-10mins? next to each other naman sila...if your destination would be the airport, the airport express single journey ticket costs HKD100 per person.

From Central station going to Disneyland, you still have to take the train from Hong Kong station (regular mtr ones, this time)...get off at the interchange station which is sunny bay...transfer to the disney resort line then get off at the disneyland resort station...adult single ticket costs HKD24.5 but if you're using the octopus card, it's HKD21.7.

Hope this helps!
