HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 34)

[workinmom]

Have any of you seen or heard of this new hotel called hotel pandora somewhere in the jordan area? I saw it in airbnb but i'm scared to book it coz there are no reviews and they've new website. The pics really look good though and they offer really affordable rates.

How far pala is goldencrown from austin street?

Hellos sisses, from the backreading I've made, we have to avoid guesthouses in Chungking mansion. Ganun din ba sa Mirador mansion? It was more than 5 years ago when I went to HK and inampon lang ako ng frend ko kaya wala akong alam sa location na to, heheh.. Thanks.

We're leaving this Thursday, sana maganda na weather by that time.

mag-golden crown ka na lang sis. if fully booked GC mismo, may ibang guesthouse pa don sa same building

@tammy1979

Yes sis, mag-golden crown ka na lang. Or iHome, same building yan. Bago pa ang matress nila kaya masarap tulugan, hehe!

[bratty]

Kung may extra budget kayo, mag-New Yui Fai na lang kayo. Ang ganda dun. Na-view ko ang rooms nila, almost bago pa talaga at queen size ang beds. Sana dun na lang kami nag-stay. Halos 50hkd lang difference nila sa GC.

[rocky]

^alam ko sis isa lang owner nila

[bratty]

Yes sis, same management nga sila. According sa housekeeper nila (Filipina) nung December 2012 lang daw yun nag-bukas. For me, dito mo talaga masusulit yung bayad mo. Pero kung tight ang budget, GC talaga.

[rocky]

^maganda nga feedback ng officemate ko. jan sila nag-stay nong april

[mom_c]

punta uli kami sa Hong Kong ng  Christmas, expected na mahal talaga accommodation, we stayed din before sa golden crown,ok talaga sya sa location.. we will try The comfort living inn sa Sham Shui Po, formerly Kings guesthouse. i reserved sa Agoda thru book now pay later less than 3k lang per night mukha malaki naman ang room and maganda reviews nya. kung wala na kami makuha mura hotel di ko na ipa cancel reservation namin..😊

I agree with sis flygirl. apparently, its not only us who notice these behaviors of chinese people. Even when I go to other countries aside from hk, they also do not like chinese because they are disrespectful to salesladies and waiters. I am sorry if i offended gtalkers who are chinese. I just stated what i observed

We'll be in hk this october. Sana wala na si odette by that time sa hk. We'll also be back on Christmas sis mom_c. We always celebrate christmas in hk And yes, shoot up talaga ang rates by that season. What we do is to book as early as 3-4mos before the intended date No cancellation nga lang hehe. And you have to pay by the time of booking.

[ms_teryosa]

hi mga sis seeking nhelp here.. we'll be in HK sa oct 22-24..can you recommend any accomodation an mura lang? mas makakamura ba if DIY ang IT at accomodation namin or mas makakamura kami kung sa travel agency kami kukuha ng tour package?

a tour agency kasi quoted us: P6,500 which includes 2 nights accomodation na with breakfast and ticket  to disneyland na daw yun and mga transfers na rin plus half day city tours.

ok na ba yun or mas makakamura pa kami if DIY na lang tutal 3 days lang naman kami dun.
pa-advice naman mga sisters.
thanks

[mom_c]

oo nga sis cream_puff11, kaya nag book na ako..book now, pay later with free cancellation pa yung kay AGODA kaya tingin pa din ako baka may hotel na mag baba pa ng price.. Gusto kasi ng son ko mag stay uli sa Ovolo 256 kaya lang doble na ang price compared sa price ng nag stay kami last June.

[smoothie]

^^I prefer DIY kasi nakakaubos ng oras ang half day city tour.

[missing_out]

Hello mga sis..kauuwi ko lang kanina from HK..nakakastress!! Mabuti na lang at hindi cancel ang flight namin pabalik ng Manila.Grabe ang pagod namin makapunta lang sa Airport , dahil signal no.8 sa HK walang Bus na papunta Airport mabuti na lang me isang Pinoy dun na lumapit sa amin at sinabing pag me bagyo pala dun walang byahe ng bus kung magkaron man mga 10 am pa daw.. 8:25 am ang flight namin. Kaya ang ginawa na lang namin nag Airport Express kami..buti nakahabol pa 6:10 am pa pala start ng operation ng MtR.At pag me bagyo ang ibang store nagsasara na din sila kaya wala din kami nabiling pasalubong..di na rin kme nakapunta sa Mongkok. At lugi kami sa OP walang rides kasi nga me bagyo.. Sayang..di bale nag enjoy pa din naman kami sa DL at OP .Regarding sa YIU FAI Guesthouse,for me two thumbs up..At mas napagod pala ako sa pagpunta sa Gate 45 hahaha ang layo kaloka..lalong sumakit legs ko..sorry napahab..

[rocky]

^hehe! kapagod nga sis. sobrang laki ng airport tapos ang layo pa ng boarding gate

[theflygirl]

Yup. Big terminal. Good thing PAL is usually at Gate 19 (except for PR313) which always uses the bus to the plane and since 8am flt pag yun, no stores pa so stuck ka sa gate with nothing to do. Hubby flew that so I opted to be left behind and take PR319 instead. Buti na lang last weekend ako nandun instead of this rainy weekend.
