Re: HOTELS in HONGKONG?
Check out Suzanne's recommended website. It also has 1st hand reviews.
The test center is in Central district (HK island), so hotels there are expensive compared to other districts in HK island and from Kowloon island but there are a couple of 3 star hotels near the test center. Just check it out. You get more bang for your buck though if your hotel is outside the Central district (whether it's 3 star or 5 star hotel). The subway train (MTR) is efficent and is very near on most major hotels and you can take it even if you're on the Kowloon side island so it does'nt matter much if you're hotel is on the Kowloon side is., as long as it's in the tsim tsa tsui district. That is... if you can spare 10-15 travel time and another 3-5 min. walk from the Sheun Wan station ( nearest MTR station from the test center). MTR ride from Wan Chai distrcit station (nearest district to central distict in HK is.)to SHeun Wan Station is about 5-10 min. then add the walking time.
I also recommend to take the airport express train (if you're hotel will not ferry you from airport to their hotel) from the airport then get a taxi from the terminal, esp. if your hotel is just nearby the terminal. The travel time is just 15-20 mins compared to at least an hour by bus and it's cheaper too.
Some hotels too have a bus waiting in the HK is. airport express terminal to ferry you to their hotels (for free). Just google their website or Hk's airport to find out more. However, if your hotel is WAY out then just go bus all the way
from the airport since the money you saved in riding the airport express will just go to the taxi fare (maybe even higher)
Good luck.
