Mga sis, maganda ba location ng eaton hotel? May kids kasi akong dala kaya gusto ko sana yung hitel na tipong paglabas may maiikutan na.. Kimberley and eaton same ang price sa kukuhanan ko, isa pang choice ko is yung marco polo prince kaso 10k difference sila kaya yung eaton at kimberley na lang pinagpipilian ko. Help naman po please.. Ano ba mas accessible sa mtr? Mas maraming maiikutan paglabas... Help please!!!

[princess lorraine]

^sis, yung eaton hotel medyo dulo na ng nathan road eh malapit na siya sa mongkok. Pero malapit rin naman sa mtr like mga 3-5 mins walk away to jordan station. Pero location wise, mas ok for me ang location ng kimberley hotel kasi it's closer canton road. 

[rinrin]

^thanks sis ha.. Yun din nga naisip ko kasi nga diba mas maganda yung malapit na sa mga pwedeng ikutan,yung madali lang rin makabalik?! Hmmm... Isa pang question sis talaga bang luma na yung kimberley? Yun naman kasi ang isang concern ko sa kimberley baka sobrang luma na nun?! 😔

[princess lorraine]

^luma na talaga siya sis. My cousin stayed there before ok naman daw. They got the deluxe room. Just don't expect too much. But for the its price and location wise, it's ok. 

[rinrin]

^thanks sis! Will finalize our hotel today.. Tapos iti naman ang ipapahelp ko gawin.. December pa nsman kaya medyo matagal pa! Anyway thank you ulet!

[rocky]

^try mo hotel benito sis, maganda location nya kasi malapit sa MTR & paglabas mo puro foodchain nakapaligid

sis I wrote a review of Eaton Hotel Hong Kong in my blog (see my signature). I posted photos para you can see what to expect sa room and itsura ng building, if your concern is if too old na ang Kimberley. Sayang nga hindi pa ako nakapag-stay sa Kimberley, may comparison na sana

[rocky]

^^paypal or credit card sis. mahal talaga pag western union

[rinrin]

Thanks mga sis! Hay naku! Still wala pa din akong hotel! Dapat i go go ko na yung marco polo kaso bigla ko naisip sayang! Di ba? Tutulugan lang naman?! Pero maganda daw talaga sabi ng sis ko, she just came back last friday from her honeymoon e.. Sabi nya maganda kasi paglabas may shopping malls na, then pag napagod madaling makabalik ng hotel.. (Since may mga bata nga ako..)
Anyway...isa na lang mga sis?! Yung shamrock? Maganda ba location nun?! Or mas maganda pa din ang marco polo?!

[imeego]

^shamrock yung 1st hotel na inoffer sa amin, based sa reviews na nabasa ko maliit ang rooms although most hotels in HK naman ata maliliit ang size ng rooms...but, super lapit nya sa MTR exit, katabing-katabi ata, tapos across the street is the bus stop naman kaya very accessible

[princess lorraine]

^^sis, i have stayed at both shamrock hotel and marco polo gateway before. Of course if you have the budget, definitely go for marco polo hotel! I love this hotel so much and we will be staying here again next march.  shamrock is a typical 3 star hotel with small rooms. But it's clean and the location is good too. It's just a few steps away from jordan mtr station. Not bad narin. Budget-wise it's ok. 

[rinrin]

^^salamat sis^thanks!!! May mtr ba na malapit sa prince? Baka yan na ang kunin ko pero mukang dina dun sa kukunan ko before kasi tiningnan ko hkd5840 lang sa mismong site.. Mas mahal pa sa booking.com or agoda...

Stayed at Ibis Hotel Central/ Sheung Wan and Citygate Novotel last week for our trip.

Ibis Sheung Wan and Central is a new hotel, really nice (kind of budget) hotel. I think budget hotel siya ng Accor/Sofitel Group. I love our room! we got a twin harbour view at the 17th floor, kind of pricey for a budget hotel but really nice, clean and convenient. I'd say convenient because kahit cramped ang room, dka pa rin maiinis moving around.

The location is so-so. About 5mins walk from the Sheung Wan Mtr and if you ride a cab naman napakalapit. The best setup: take AP Express from the HKIA, alight in HK Station and just take a cab from MTR to the hotel.

CityGate Novotel is hands down. For its location, connecting the Citygate outlet and MTR. I really recommend staying here for your last night HK trip since they provide free AP shuttle service 6am-11pm. Cheap rin ang Citygate vs Ibis

hi, have a few questions, hope someone will answer
1) we're coming from macau to tst at around 8pm. then go to causeway bay. from the ferry terminal, how do we go to causeway? tama ba na mtr-tst station to admiralty. then admiralty to causeway bay. MTR interchange ba yung nasa Admiralty so palit lang ng train?
or mag-taxi na lang kami para no need to walk na to tst station from the ferry terminal?

2) night market - been to mongkok/ladies market last time we went to hk. saan pa ba may tiangge style na open til midnight? yung ok din mga tinda

3) may nasearch friend ko last week na bilihan ng disney ticket na may free toy story item. kaso di na namin mahanap ngayon sa google =( would anyone know where is this promo?

thanks!

[princess lorraine]

^^salamat sis^thanks!!! May mtr ba na malapit sa prince? Baka yan na ang kunin ko pero mukang dina dun sa kukunan ko before kasi tiningnan ko hkd5840 lang sa mismong site.. Mas mahal pa sa booking.com or agoda...

The nearest mtr station to prince hotel is tsim sha tsui station in nathan road which is approximately 5-8 mins walk away. Carry lang naman. 

[rinrin]

^aw okay sis salamat ha! 😁

[prettybarbie]

gcarrie tsimshatsui to admiralty then intgerchange (palit train lang) to causeway bay.... or pwede rin naman na from macau to shun tack centre in Sheung Wan na lang kayo bumaba then andon na din yung MTR to causeway bay no need to interchange

[r0n]

Hi mga sis, ask ko lang how much budget for an hk trip. Planning to go march of next year with my 2 kids. Thanks!

[princess lorraine]

Sisses, from mtr central station, how do we go to maxims city hall? From maxims city hall,how do we go to the central shopping district like longchamp and coach flagships stores, h&m , etc. ?  magkakalapit lang ba ma ito? I've been to hk a lot of times already pero hindi pa ako nakakapagshopping sa central. Hanggang tst, causeway bay, mongkok and citygate outlet lang ako. Thanks

[prettynvain]

^yes, sis, walking distance lang lahat yan.

interchange to mtr sa admiralty station, look for the "chai wan line" 2 stops l,ang causeway bay na. if by taxi kayo from tst, you will need to pay the toll fee roundtrip ng taxi (papunta at pabalik niya sa tst), kase lugi sila dahil not all the time may makukuha silang passenger papuntang kowloon side.
