Hong Kong Hotels – Tips on Where to Stay and Save Money

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Hong Kong’s hotels have a reputation for small rooms and expensive prices. That’s partially true. Hong Kong has plenty of budget and affordable hotels. You just have to know where to look.

Hong Kong itself is a large mountainous island but there is a peninsula named Kowloon just north of Hong Kong.

The Kowloon Peninsula in its own right is a bustling city filled with fancy malls for people with a huge credit card limit to people who love to search out bargain dresses and shoes. Made of up several districts Kowloon is also a food lovers paradise. Every district has their own specialty dish like wonton with brisket and noodles or rice cooked in a clay pot flavored with Chinese sausage or salted fish.

And Kowloon is just a short ferry ride away from Hong Kong island and there’s even an underground subway train transporting locals and visitors back and forth, which makes Kowloon an ideal base for exploring and discovering Hong Kong.

Where to stay in Kowloon, Hong Kong?

Kowloon is not big so it’s easy to get around. There’s a major avenue called Nathan Road, also called the “Golden Mile” that runs straight cutting through several districts; Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei to Prince Edward. Hong Kong is very tourist friendly and easy to get around with English street signs.

Most affordable hotels in Hong Kong are located in those districts. For instance the Casa Hotel cost around HK $500 and it is a newish property close to the train station as well as the airport express bus stop. But the rooms are frighteningly small yet if there is only two people in the room it should be just fine. And there are plenty of places to eat for cheap to save yourself even more money.

Then there is the Prudential Hotel in the Jordan district also right on Nathan Road. The Prudential is one of the rare hotels with bigger room dimensions. And best thing of all it cost around HK $700 during the low season. Which is a real bargain especially when small rooms in Hong Kong is normal. There’s even an entrance to the train station below the hotel so it can’t get anymore convenient than that.

There are many more hotels in Kowloon that will fit most travelers budget. One final tip is to check around with Internet hotel reservation companies that specialize in searching out best hotel deals in Asia. Because booking directly with the hotel can cost you up to 40% more.

For more information on Kowloon hotels visit Best Hotels in Kowloon Hong Kong where you can find more reviews of affordable hotels in the region.
