Ramada is not walking distance to the site. The only hotels that are walking distance are Central Park and Lan Kwai Fong.

However, HK's MTR system is so efficient that you are just a few minutes away from any place in HK.

Some, don't mind the extra 15-20 minutes or so commute time as most hotels outside the Central District where the testing center is located are slightly more affordable or they get more bang for their money's worth.

That kinda depends on how far you're willing to walk. It's about 40 mins to an hour presuming you dont get lost and how fast you go. Just follow the tram rail running through the middle of the street in front of the hotel. I walked to the testing site from ramada 4 times. (2 round trips). I needed the exercise.

There's a tram stop right in front of the ramada that will take you to within 30 seconds' walking distance from the nearest tram stop at the grand millennium plaza. The cost is 2 dollars. You won't get lost with the tram. It only runs in a straight line and doesn't branch off. Worst scenario with the tram is if you take one that stops short of the place...in which case you'll walk a few blocks..maybe 5 minutes worth of legwork.

You can take a cab. Cost you probably 40 HK dollars from the hotel.

If you're gonna stay in a hotel further away, (and probably cheaper), make sure it's near the mtr. There's an MTR stop called the SHEUNG WAN station on the ISLAND LINE of the MTR. Get off there and climb up the stairs of exit E2. This exit sits DIRECTLY in front of the Grand Millenium Plaza. Just cross the street and you're there. So a hotel near the center isn't really a necessity unless you want to make walking there as a backup plan in case all else fails.

there is ramada in hongkong island and in kowloon side. i stayed at ramada kowloon when i took nclex last february. i found it very practical, especially if you want to do some wandering after your exam. it is near the shopping centers, avenue of stars, the mtr, etc. grand millenium is only 20-30 minutes away using the mtr.

from the hotel, you walk down to tsim sha tsui station, which will take only 5 minutes. you'll use the red train first and transfer to the blue train at the central station, and that will bring to scheung wan, which has an exit direct to grand millenium.

hathaway is right, no need for a hotel near grand millenium, as long as you'll have one that is near the mtr.

god bless in your exam.

thank you for the info bebe, gosh, I have been busy looking for a place to stay. Last time we went there, we stayed at Marco Polo Hongkong and BP international but cebu pacific or even pal doesn't offer BP intl anymore, I don't intend to stay at Marco Polo any longer, whew, very costly.

visit hostels.com..there are lots of alternative options there if you're into a tight budget and dont want to spend much on hotel expenses....nathan road kowloon side is the great place..we're planning to stay in one of those hostels there by june...cheap but surely will enjoy your stay.:)

This is a good idea, esp. since when in HK tourists spend most of the time outside the hotel touring anyway.
