HOngkong Hotels: Please help me choose

hello... i've been to hong kong last november and I would like to suggest the evergreen hotel. they have a room with triple occupancy there. it is located between yau ma tei and jordan and the jordan mtr to sheung wan is also near here. check out their rates in hotelclub.net

A friend of mine recommended to have an online reservation so i go for it. their rates are cheaper compared to hotels located really near the sheung wan district. plus if you want to go shopping, temple street is located near the hotel (just a few walks) and if you want to change your money to HKD, a money changer is just nearby. free breakfast is also included in your stay. the place may not be very marvelous (it is because there is a construction going on in their building) but transportation is not a problem (no problem getting from the airport to hotel, riding the mtr to the testing center) and also the testing center is just a few walks when you get out from sheung wan mtr exit. you can check out their hotel website. (evergreenhotel.com)

Also try to have an online reservation, it is much more cheaper than contacting the hotel directly with their website and they are on a discounted price. we go to hong kong the 4 of us and we only get the standard twin room. we feared that the hotel may charge us extra but when we left, they did not charge anything when we have an extra person with us. they are not strict... problem is that extra person won't have the free buffet breakfast. we stayed in the hotel for 6 nights and it only cost us $400+ (the four of us)
well it is still up to your decision what hotel you are going to take...i tell you... transportation to the testing site is no problem when riding the mtr...

well that's all and hotel is near the kowloon park... not totally near but can be reached walking... and you can relax there.. the place is great... it is the only place where you can see greens... if you have questions just let me know ok../???

in the evergreen hotel website, they have directions going to their hotel (download their pdf file on getting to the hotel). it is much better to take the bus when going to the hotel... much cheaper and since you are in no hurry, you can enjoy the scenery... it only cost you HKD 33 compared to the airport express HKD 80... the hotel is in kowloon and there's no trouble in getting around hong kong by mtr. and when your room is still not ready or you are early for their check-in time, you can enjoy going to kowloon park... it is great there... you can relax... and if you want to eat, you can try yoshoniya (im not sure about the name...)... when you have the map.. you have no problem...

yes the airport is on lantau island... and i tell you there's no problem getting around hong kong... the hotel is on kowloon and the testing center is on hong kong island... you can try searching in the net about hong kong.. im also like you... i don't know about hong kong and when i get there, there's no problem getting around at all... well... good luck to you and your friends.. i also taking the exam next year... well good luck to all of us...

Hi!...I've been to HK several times already, and the last one was last March...though I never took NCLEX there (took it in Saipan) If you haven't paid the airline tickets yet, I suggest get a complete package(like airline fees plus hotel) i guess withi this you'll save airport transfers which costs about $100-150HK...And if you'll sum it all up...I think It will be a lot more cheaper than buying it separately...Just a suggestion though..... Hotels in Tsim sha tsui area are the nicest.... affordable and near to everyhting...

you're very welcome... that cleared up your mind, eh??
i'm glad you did find a lot of hotels that satisfy your need as a group...
good luck again in taking your exam... (wish me luck also... )
i'm also trying to check out the hoteltravel.com for my next online reservation...
hope you can guide me next time...
