Many friends who have traveled to Hong Kong think that staying in a hotel in Hong Kong is very expensive, and if it is the first time to travel to Hong Kong, it is estimated that they will have a headache and can't find a suitable hotel. Where should I stay when traveling to Hong Kong? Hong Kong Reservation Network summarizes some problems that should be paid attention to when staying in Hong Kong, hoping to help you.
1. Hotel or hotel?
Generally speaking, accommodation in Hong Kong can be divided into hotels and guesthouses. These two concepts are completely different. Hotels that basically occupy independent properties are called "hotels"; Known as a "hotel", it is generally in a unit or several units of a building; A building may also have many hotels. Hong Kong hotels are generally expensive, and the standard room price on weekdays is basically above 500 yuan/day; Within 800/ day, it can basically be regarded as a budget hotel in Hong Kong; Like budget hotels in the mainland, they are also very popular, and it is normal to be full. Hotels are relatively cheap, with standard rooms around 250-400. Since the mainland opened to the outside world, many cheap hotels, large and small, have sprung up in Hong Kong. Most of these hotels are licensed (don't stay in unlicensed black hotels), and the safety and hygiene are basically guaranteed. If it is purely free travel, staying in these cheap hotels is really a good choice.
Second, where do you live?
The first thing to solve is where to live. Hong Kong is neither big nor small. If you are free, you must live near the subway. Because the coverage network of Hong Kong subway is very developed, it is very convenient to transfer to various places. The speed is much faster than the mainland subway, and the departure density is almost one after another. The closing time of subway station is close to 1 am. So living near the subway can save a lot of time for your nervous trip to Hong Kong. Moreover, there are also many shopping shops and scenic spots near the subway. On the other hand, if you live far away from the subway and the bus used to be unfamiliar with the route, taking a taxi will greatly increase your transportation cost, which is very inconvenient.
Living near which subway station is also very particular. There are five subways in Hong Kong, with a total of about 50 stations, but five of them are most useful for the accommodation of mainland free travellers, namely Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui on Nathan Road on the Kowloon side, and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island (including Admiralty and Tin Hau Station before and after Causeway Bay). There are many shopping spots in Hong Kong, and there are also many cheap hotels near these places. Other websites are either too remote for free travellers, and it used to cost a lot of money to start from the airport or Luohu Port. It also costs a lot of transportation to and from the main shopping areas; Either the surrounding areas are all high-star hotels, which are not suitable for free travel, such as Wan Chai, Admiralty and Central.
Many backpackers have recommended staying in the International Youth Hostel in Hong Kong, which is clean, cheap and absolutely safe. But if you go shopping in Hong Kong and choose to stay in a youth hostel in Hong Kong, it's all wet. The locations of several youth hostels in Hong Kong are extremely remote. They are located in Ngong Ping, Mount Davis, Tai Po, Tai Mei Tuk, Pak Sha O, Sai Kung and Tai Mo Shan in Tsuen Wan. They are unheard of by many mainlanders and are very inconvenient; And it seems that only cardholders are accepted, and non-members are not. Therefore, tourists who travel to Hong Kong freely had better choose to live in the city center.
Third, the most suitable area for free travel accommodation.
Introduce several major hotels as the most suitable areas for free travel.
A. Living in Tsim Sha Tsui
Reason one: convenient transportation.
Tsim sha tsui station is the most convenient place to stay. Especially if you take the subway from Shenzhen Luohu, you can get off at Tsim Sha Tsui East Station. It is very convenient to get from Tsim Sha Tsui to the airport and Causeway Bay. Starting from the Star Ferry Pier near Tsim Sha Tsui, you can reach Xiangwanchai or Central on the other side for only 65,438 yuan +0.7 yuan /$2.2 yuan.
The second reason is convenient shopping and many scenic spots.
The greatest pleasure of traveling in Hong Kong is shopping. Jordan Road near Tsim Sha Tsui is a "prime location" for shopping. There are various brands of specialty stores and department stores. Harbour City is the largest shopping center in Hong Kong. You can find any brand you can think of here. More importantly, the price is much cheaper than that in the mainland. Tsim Sha Tsui is also surrounded by the Avenue of Stars, Victoria Harbour and other attractions that you must visit for the first time in Hong Kong, as well as the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Space Museum, Tsim Sha Tsui Bell Tower, Kowloon Park and Mosque.
Five-star hotels around Tsim Sha Tsui (the standard room price is generally between 1300-2000 yuan): Peninsula Hotel, Intercontinental Hotel, Sheraton, Shangri-La, Yuan Di Hotel, Renaissance Kowloon, Regal Kowloon Store, Marco Polo, Langham Hotel and other four-star hotels around Tsim Sha Tsui (the standard room price is about 65,438+0,000 yuan).
Chungking mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui can't be ignored, but its reputation is not very good, and not many mainland tourists dare to live here. Since everyone is psychologically afraid, let's not stay.
Live in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai.
Reason one: shopping is super convenient.
Causeway Bay, located in the north of Hong Kong Island, is one of the most important shopping areas in Hong Kong and a bustling commercial center. There are many shopping centers, Japanese department stores and hotels in this area, and there are many restaurants in the streets. All high fashion items can be found here. Causeway Bay is the most important tourist area outside Tsim Sha Tsui. Living in Causeway Bay is mainly about convenient transportation and shopping. The most famous shopping places are Times Square, sogou, World Trade Center, Boutique Square, Boutique Gallery, Kimberly and Liyuan. There are famous brands of fashion, fashion gadgets, exquisite jewelry and furniture all over the world.
Secondly, the food in downtown Causeway Bay can be seen everywhere: popular tea restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, high-end hotels and restaurants, which bring together different kinds of Chinese and Western food, such as Jardine's Street, Lockhart Road and Liyuan Mountain Road.
Five-star hotels around Causeway Bay: Hong Kong Regal Baining Hotel; Four-star hotels around Causeway Bay: Yidong Hotel and Polly Hotel, and three-star hotels around Causeway Bay: Nanyang Hotel and Prince Hotel.

In fact, there are not many hotels around Causeway Bay subway station, but there are many hotels around Causeway Bay. If you count the surrounding areas of Wan Chai, Tin Hau and North Point, there will be more hotels to choose from.
C. Mong Kok MTR Station
Reason one: "Mong Kok" sounds very kind. Mong Kok is one of the more famous neighborhoods in Hong Kong. Without the luxury of Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, it is more like the epitome of ordinary Hong Kong. After watching countless Hong Kong movies, the names "Mong Kok" and "Tsim Sha Tsui" have long been familiar, and living here is very emotional.
Second, the traffic is very convenient. It is also convenient to live in Mong Kok. You can go anywhere you want by subway.
Third, affordable. Compared with high-end hotels in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, hotels around Mong Kok are much more affordable.
Reason 4: There are many characteristic commercial districts in Mong Kok, such as Ladies Street, Garden Street, Cai Tong Street, Flower Shop Street, Computer Street and Xiyangcai South Street (pedestrian street). There are few famous brand stores or high-end goods here. As long as you are energetic, you will find interesting things here. This is the charm of Mong Kok. 5-star hotels around Mong Kok: langham place hotel and Dijing Hotel; Three-star hotels around Kowloon Mong Kok Hotel 36 and Lidong Hotel.
D. Yau Ma Tei and Jordan
Reason 1: You can walk to Tsim Sha Tsui. Yau Ma Tei and Jordan are located between Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, and the traffic is very convenient. Jordan, in particular, takes 65,438+05 minutes to walk from Jordan to Tsim Sha Tsui, although mainland tourists who come to Hong Kong for the first time may not know much about it.
Secondly, there are many brand businesses along Nathan Road heading for Tsim Sha Tsui, so tourists won't feel tired at all. Because the section of the road from Jordan to Tsim Sha Tsui is called "Golden Mile", we can see the prosperity here.
Reason 3: Food is everywhere. Yau Ma Tei is a distinctive place in Hong Kong, with many distinctive streets. Parks street, where there are seafood restaurants and porridge shops for local people to enjoy; Wu Song Street where tea restaurants and seafood restaurants gather.
Reason 4: lively open-air market, night market, unusually lively temple street; Reclamation street, a rare outdoor market; Shanghai Street Emerald Gem Street; There is also Tianhou Palace. If you live in Yau Ma Tei or Jordan, you will have something to go at night.
4-star hotel in Yau Ma Tei: Nathan Road Hotel (formerly known as Hong Kong Dahua Hotel) 3-star hotel in Yau Ma Tei: Evergreen Hotel, Weiqingxuan Hotel, Emgrand Seaview Hotel and Hong Kong Yongxing Hotel.
Jordan four-star hotels: Yidong Hotel, Milton Hotel and Hengfeng Hotel Jordan three-star hotels: New San Diego, Old San Diego and Xinle Hotel.
There is also an economical hotel chain bridal tea house hotel near Yau Ma Tei, which is very famous among tourists. Its biggest feature is clean and cheap. The house price is around 300 yuan, and you can enjoy a rich Chinese and western buffet breakfast for only $22. Of course, compared with other star-rated hotels in Hong Kong, the rooms in teahouses are indeed smaller.
Tin Hau North Point East
Reason 1: Enjoy the invincible sea view of Victoria Bay. North Point and Tin Hau are close to Causeway Bay. If you don't often run around in Tsim Sha Tsui, living here is a very good choice. Especially in Tianhou, next to the famous Victoria Park, it doesn't take much time to walk to Causeway Bay.
4-star hotels around Tin Hau: Causeway Bay Seaview, 4-star hotels around Metropark in Causeway Bay North Point: city garden hotel, 3-star hotels around Haiyi North Point: Lidong Hotel, Lidongxuan and Yuehua Hotel.
F. Living in Central and Admiralty
Reason 1: Enjoy the invincible sea view+mountain view and the most comfortable hotel service. Hong Kong Central and Admiralty are the gathering areas of high-end hotels in Hong Kong. Most of the hotels here are mainly 4 or 5 stars, with beautiful Victoria Harbour in the north and Taiping Mountain in the south, so the prices are relatively high. 5-star hotels around Central: Four Seasons Hotel, Oriental Culture, Land Culture; Five-star hotels around Admiralty: JW Marriott Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel on Hong Kong Island and Li Gang Hotel.
H, living in Disney
Reason one: the room is big. If the whole family stays in Hong Kong Disneyland with their children, it is best to stay in the park for one night. Disney Hotel is more expensive, but it has two advantages. First, the house price is large, and the standard room 1 can accommodate a family of four, which is not expensive.
Reason 2: If you live in Disney, the ticket validity will be changed from 1 day to 2 days free of charge. Another great advantage is that you can change the validity of tickets from 1 day to 2 days for free when staying at Disney Hotel, and stay in the park for one more day. The check-in time of Disney Hotel is 15, and the check-out time is 1 1 at noon. There are two hotels in Disneyland, namely Disneyland Hotel and Disney Hollywood Hotel.
