YHA located on HK Island and quite near to go to Central, environment is fresh and quiet, price is cheap. Target is mainly teenagers. Rooms are normal and common but not very trendy. No stores and restaurants nearby http://www.yha.org.hk/ 2. Island resort Located on Lamma Island, fresh and wonderful environment, cafe, stores and resturants are nearby. Close to Central. Flats with sea view or flats are provided with own kitchen and fridge for cooking. Kind of special accommodtaion. Many people go for retreat and relax http://www.involvementstay.com/ 3. Imperial Hotel Hong Kong Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, very very convenient with almost cheapest price among all of the hotels nearby, 3 star hotel, near Victoria Habor, MTR station. www.imperialhotel.com.hk 4.Peninsula Hotel Located in Tsim Sha Tsui and the most trendy, grand hotel in HK, everything is the best, no matter the service, quality, view, so price is the highest. www.peninsula.com Reply    Reply with quote    Contact travelhk   downundergal Premium account Joined: Jun 02 Points: 12920 Posts: 217 Posted: 2006-10-25 12:10:00    When I was recently in HK I stayed at the BP International which is run by the Scouts association - great value, comfy rooms with all mod cons, good location for shopping approx in the middle of the of the harbour front and Temple Street Markets and great views for the nightly light display (that is if you are home in time from the all day and night shopping trips). Best of all the scouts are relegated to certain floors I think 4-7)and have their own separate entry whilst we were ensconced on the 23rd floor with stupendous views. Cheers, Kerrie --- Where to next?

I also stayed in the resorts on Lamma Island, it is nice and relax, have you been to Lamma Island before?
