if they emailed and say room reserved, then take it as confirmed.....since you also given credit card number


print out the email, and if they can't have room for you after arrival, they will upgrade you to a suite if it is their fault (this is standard practice, okay not all the time suite, but always upgrade to next grade of room)

ok thanks dear u r very helpful !

"Cancellation Policy : Cancel 48 hours prior to arrival (hotel time) to avoid 1 night penalty" is that mean i can cancel without penalty ?

booked ! kowloon hotel.. col strongly recommended

Hi all, I'm planning to visit Hong Kong in Dec, is Marco Polo Prince Hotel in Canton Road convenient, please give your recommendation.


Thanks

both are good

Prince is older so it is cheaper, Marco Polo is slightly more expensive

their podium shopping (Harbour City) is connected, lots of eateries around and within, there is a Lane Crawford as well

yes, both hotels have huge rooms, even standard rooms, some time you may be allocated room with double x double beds

jst to update, i called up lowloon hotel and ask for extra bed, can be done so long it’s a double bed then is ok… if it’s a twin beds then cannot. heee

We stayed in kowloon hotel before. Good location however the rooms are really small and hotel abit on the old side.

Why don't you consider citadines ashley? It has a queen size bed and a 1 person sofa bed. Good for 3 but not more. It is close to kowloon hotel. Many eateries etc... downstairs. It is fairly new so things are quite ok when we were there last nov.

Price point is reasonable too.

I will be bringing some medication over to standby for just ‘in case’ issues for my kids… eg: runny nose, diahiaarea, fever… and they are those big heavy bottles from polyclinic types. May I know how to make sure these bottles wont bring in the check-in luggage? Other than warpping them up with clothing…?

get some small plastic bottles and transfer the content over

hand carry luggage allows content of each bottle up to 100ml and one ziplog bag can content max 1000ml liquid in total

probably medicine is exempt if can prove

we pack them in a plastic clip-lok box and place the box in the check in bag.
