for 3 adults 2 kids, u may want try marco polo hotel, or holiday inn golden mile @ nathan road....they are all near each other

you can book for rooms with double double beds

I’ve been to hkg several times and the largest room I ever stayed in was Royal Plaza Hotel … It sits in the middle of the busy shopping area like Fa Yuen Street/Mongkok and is connected to the MTR by a long bridge … The Hotel itself is next to a large shopping mall. It may be abit of a hassle if your kids cant walk much (~8mins walk to MTR) but the room is really large … Forget about BP, Eaton, Dorsett. They are pigeon holes.

And by the way, I have used PYO several times. Their rates are pretty competitive. I compared it to wotif.com, asiarooms, hotels.com, etc. Hope you find it useful.

Hi Rose, my family of 4 (2A2C) are going to HK this Nov. We've booked L'Hotel Nina near to Tsuen Wan West MTR. The rate is $220 per nite, maybe U can consider this pretty new 5* hotel which is near to shopping centres too.

I always use Asiatravel.com to book my hotel in HK. Going again next week....sigh!

Do you know if branded stuff are cheaper in HK???? Eg. Gucci (besides the 7% gst)?

Also, I heard rolex/ watches are cheaper there too. Know of any reputable shops?

With the current exchange, it appears quite favorable.

We are looking forward to our trip in November :lol:

you may want to google for the authorised agent in HK for lolax/kuci etc

it could be cheaper, and you are right about the HK$ - and I would add also due to weaker Euros thesedays but Swiss Francs may still be strong
